,The Wprld has asked the leatiing
m-.r:fciarers of the country"-what
they think of the influence of the Wil
son bill upon luainess, and tub morn
ing we print the answers of manv of
tnem - formulated and signed by them-
selves.
George A. Macbeth glass manufact
urer, says, with the clear-sighted cour
age of a successful American man of
business, that whether the bill passes
now or a year hence it will produce
no shock in the commercial world"
But he adds emphatically. 'The soon
er it is passed the better. The present
chaotic state of business will then regu
late itself."
B. F. Jones, iron manufacturer and
late chairman of the republican na
tional committee, declares that the
present depression in the iron trade
"is due to the uncertainty and to noth
ing else." He does not like the bill,
but desires its early passage on the
ground that every month's delay must
bring additional detriment to industry
It is nothing in ths bill that he fears,
but prolonged inaction in the senate.
EiliottC. Clark, of thj Boott cotton
mills. Lowell, also regards the uncer
tainty, and the possibility of delay in
passing the bill as the sole soarces of
danger to business.
C M. Weld, print cloth manufact
urer, is convinced that the measure
will compel economy on the part of
mill owners, and says that the only di
rection in which economy is possible is
in the redaction of wages. He does
not take into consideration the possi
bility of making the necessary saving
by cuttinj down the very high salaries
of officers of the manufacturing -corporations.
Mr. Blaine very clearly
showed that the labor cost of Ameri
can cottons is actually less than that
of British cottons, their only compet
itors. If our print cloth mills cannot
compete with the British without Mo
Kinley duties the difficulty lies in soms
other direction than tho wages of work
men. A. P. Martin, shoe minufacturcr, of
Boston, d-Hjs "not thin'i t'nat tho. p.w
s ige of th Wilton biH would redut e
the price of labor. It would opn Ihj
markets of the -v 'l I t o:..nr i 1 l-i-tries.
as it h;.s to the -h 'e and leather
trade, by reason ol having, cheap rav
materials."
Bufus P. Grvieley. a Boston woolen
manufacturer, is apprehciisive lest un
der the opr.ition of thu Wilson bill
th country may be "flooded with
foreign goods s chj-.vp as t osnpjl a
general reduction in prices of woolens.
That is a prospect which thj working
men, the farmers and other consumers
of woollen goods will contemplate with
the utmost equanimity.
The opinion of no.irly all the manu
facturers who have expressed them
selves is that the one danger to busi
ness is the possibility of delav in the
passage'of tlie bilL Those who think
its schedules likely to be in any way
detrimental declare that thviir effect
has already been discounted. Those
who see no harm in the schedules agree
with the others in seeiug a very posi
tive danger in any unnecessary delay
in settling the matter. Those who ap
prove and those who disapprove the
bill are of one mind in regarding its
pasisnge as certain and its early passage
as desirable in order that cunmefte
and industry may qu'ckly adjust them
selves to the new conditions.
Thts one thinjr to be feared is sena
torial pottering of the kind which has
already this year cost the country a
financial disaster. N. Y. World.
SHUT TKEM OUT.
Why Waste rrnciou T mo In I.lstenlnc to
M oiuily Objctcr?
Why should the semte committee on
finance listen Ur the statements of man
ufacturers'? The bill before the com
mittee siys nothing of a purpose to
curry on private business by means of
tax laws.
McKinley's tariff act did not profess
to bind the government with pledges
to insure given rat ?s of profit to own
rsof mill machinery. It professed to
lie an act to radue- revenue and to
equalize duties on iia porta. If it bad
been called ah act to satisfy the wishes,
of certain private investors the court
would have thrown it out at tho first
lest case.
Private interests clamor for hearings
o get bounties. They have no infor
mation for the general revenue pur
poses of the government' Not the
worth of a shoe laca are they caring
for the relief f the treasury or tho
welfare of the people.
Hearings are claimed on the ground
whose validity every democrat on the

REED'S RSCKLcSS STATEMENTS
Uts Keferenecs to K:i7taH Corn Laws Are
MIaanaT.
By a singular fatuity, common to the
instinct-of the party, republican edit-! !
ors have se:zHl that part of Mr. Ueed'sj :
speech in which her dealt with the! ;
period of the English corn, law repeal!
as the most brilliant and successful ef-'
fort, not only of his speech, but of the! t
debate. It happons that that is just!
the portion of Mr. Reed a argument in
which he was either ; entirely ignorant
of the facts or iu which he most wlUK
fully suppressed them. !
Let us state his position in all frank
ness, in his own word:
"According to the usual storv that is
told, England had been engaged In a
long and vain struggle with the demon
of protection, and had been year aftee
year sinking farther into the depths,
until at a mome .t when she was in her
deepest distress and saddest plight,
Mr. Cobden and his friends provi4en"
tlally appeared, and -after a hard
struggle established a principle for all ;
time and for all the world, and straight
way England enjoyed the sum of '
human happiness. Hence all good na
tions should do as England has done,
and all would be well. 1
"This fairy tale has not the slightest :
resemblance to history.
as th.it crusade the same as is
waged here to-day? Are the gentle
men of the ways anl means committee
legitimate successors of Br pht and
Cobden and the Anti-Cora Law league? j
Not the least in the" world That was
a fight by the manufacturers -: This is ! -a
fight agaihst the manufacturers."
Now what were; the ; facts? Thai
declaration of UieJeague, which di
rected the repeal agitation, expressly!
laid down the principle that all duties,
were to be abolished Its organizers
selected the duty on corn only as thai,
most odious an I th most successful to
appeal to the country on, for it touched
every man's stomich (mostly thea
empty, by virtue of its operation), but'
the battle was continue I against every;
other form of protection duty until the:
nnmber of articles lfaole t duties has
been reduced from the host, which 00
man could number, to a; total of lesa
than twenty. '..-
Mr. Reed put. in? the forefront the,
battle for corn-tai repeal a repeal hr
justifies, curiously enough, on exactly
the arguments we denn-.crats use
against him 'because it was an odku
law enacted to enhance , the price of
bread, not for the beneiit of the farmer, . .
but of the aristocratic owner of the
land;" just as we - say odious laws hero
"enhance the prices." not for the bene-,
fit of him who ui.tues. bnt 'of the aristo
cratic combiner. Having go', so far.
honestly, however,: U:i drops tha his
tory of the repeals of pr.teetlve cus
toms duties which followed oornt, and
thea pauses, points, the moral to his,
admiring and unenlightened satellites,
and says: "Thank God we -are not.
like those wicked E -glish tories who .
enhanced the pricj of iaily bread. We
do no such abomination, and there
fore, gentlemen, tho democratic allu
sion to the free trade campaign tt
England is a 'fairy tale.' " 1 :
We will continue- the history, la
short, where Mr. Reed blindly pr will

the articles subject to import doty AO)
man could number them; they Wera
like the sands of the sea.' No man lij

Peel became prime minister and chans)
eel lor of the exchequer, with an empsyf
treasury, which higher and higher pro
tection only starved more and more ef
fectuallv, could bo found to tell tbss
committee on import duties how manjl
articles were really subject to datu
All the most experienced secretary of
the board of trade could say waa that
there were 1.150 articles specifically
mentioned, each having a nxjed speeifl
duty charged thereon, but treat every
thing which was missed by the specific

repealed and on 700 more the datlesf
were reduced ; ' '
' lu 1845 520 more article were plaoe9
on the free list at one blow. Nearljj
all eustoms taxes on raw material werti
released, the only exception being tin
ber and tallow, which survived yet
few more years i
Where Peel left the ax in 1845 Gladi
tone took it up in 1853, and before)
1800 he had reduced rates on 210 articles
and repealed 110 daties. , r
In 1800 be reduced rates on 56 artis .

he brought tbe total of articles leviable;
to 127j in lud to 100; in 1807 to 04, antjl

, And yet Mr. Reed would have thss
American voter believe the moveiQea
was merely one begun and conclude
against an odious eorn fax sad not fosr .
the freedom of manufacture and raw
material. Not so. The' corn law Waa
the strongest point of attack. The
principle admitted on that repeal car
