Losno.v , Oct. 4. [ New York Herald
Cable-Special to THE Rr.r. . } The MclCln-
Icy bill having1 passed into law , the London
dallies are beginning totnlcoa inoro serious
vluw of It. At first they vcro dliposed to
mnko light of the wtiolo matter , then they
fouiul out that tha enormous increase In du
ties on English imports Into the states would
give a great Impetus to the commerce of this
country and secure to Orcnt Britain the con
trol of till the neutral markets of the world.
Now the Times denounces the new
measure as n distinctly unfriendly
net towards Great Britain. Itovv
can it bo that if Ills to glvo England a con
siderable commercial advantage and keep tlio
United States the background ) "What cause
of complaint is fdvcn to the country by legis
lation which confers a direct boon upon her
manufacturers and merchants !
Tlio Dally News tells us that the cfTcct of
the McKinley bill must bo to weaken .Amorj
Icnn competition In the world's markets and
conllrm the commercial supremacy of
the Hritish people. The Standard
tnkes the same view that the Americans are
onlv Inlurlni * themselves. "This now tariff
may bo a process of development at the ex
pense of the Unllcd States , " remarks the
Standard , "which has been going on slnco
1600 nnd will continue to go on somewhat at
on accelerated pace. " If this fa so , why
complain of tno tnriftl Why not rather
erect n statue to MeKlnloy on the Thames
embankment ! Mcatuvhllo the Herald has
been feeling public opinion on the subject in
the greatest Industrial center in Eng
land , viz Manchester nnd snrroundlnR
dUtrids. Opinions la Coltonapolis , as
elsewhere , vary greatly , some business men
i .declaring they didn't care a hang for the bill
and others mamtninlng the exact contrary.
Naturally the opinions of the representatives
of the preat American dry goods houses , who
make Manchester their buyinir hcadquaitcrs
for the United Kingdom , possess peculiar
value , nnd the Ilcruld correspondent has ac
cordingly called upon thu pilucipdl linns for
the purpose of getting ; Ideas.
Chicago houses hnvo all along been strong
opponents of the MelCmloy crowd. Mr.
Votes of James II. Walker & Co. , Chicago -
.i cage , said the increased duties would
. undoubtedly cnuso exports to fail off and
that Yorkshire linns would bo hit the hard
est. Cotton goods will not , bo thinks , bo
offccted so much In comparison , except In the
cose of velvets anil other line fabrics. Mr.
Yates believes that , ou the whole , Germany
and Trance suffer moro than this country ,
nnd Ucrrnnn hosiery manufacturers nro
specially marked out for punishment. This
accounts for the loud squeals which have
proceeded fron Houball , Elbcur , Chemnitz
and elsewhere on the continent.
At tbo ofllco of Carson , Plrie ,
Scott < fc Co. , Chicago , the view
ceins held that dull times maybe
bo anticipated when the present heavy stocks
In the hands of American Importers have
been disposed of and It oecomcs necessary
for them to effect changes moro clearly shown.
Mr , Toinllnsonof Jones Brothers &Co. , a
house known in the American market forever
over forty years , says the bill will not pcnna
ncntjy inluro them. The Urm is principally
cngngcd in the manufacture and distribution
of high class cotton goods , and Tomllnsou
makes regular trips to Now York. Their
orders for the coming season have been
" placed as usual , just as though there
had been no MclClnlcy bill. Ho considers
that Americans buy the finest goods of any
nation In the world , and that .they vvill have
the best , 110 matter what it costs. The bill
will simply tax the people of the states for
the benefit of n te\v \ eastern manufacturers.
Edmund Potter &Co. , the lurjjcst calico
printers In the United Kingdom , nro not in a
position yet to estimate the probable result of
the measure.
J. II. Bnrlow of Barlow & Jones is nt the
bead of the flrm producing the most nrtlstlo
nnd costly cotton fabric that can bo woven by
complicated mechanism tno Jacqunrd
loom. Their goods being of a char
acter not yet seen by American man
ufncturcrs , no does not anticipate
serious faUIng eft in exports to the states ,
His flrm employs U,000 operatives und bus
New York house.
Oscar M. Uebnis of Louis Behrns & Sons ,
ono of the largest American shippers to Ku
rope , said ho had rccclvud a circular from the
United States consul at Manchester asking
for information similar to that which I dc-
. aired. Two following : is n copy of the reply
tout to Mr. Guinea's Inquiry :
Dear Sir Wo have received your lottci
of October 1. In which you ask us to
give In writing an opinion regardi
the cftVct the now MeKlnloy bill
will have on trade between Knghmd
nnd the United States. In reply wo lieu to
inform you that wo shall beplciscd Indeed to
let you have our answer to the question as
eon us wo receive dctliilto Information from
our New York liouso as to the real amount of
extra duty which is to be charged under the
now bill. At the present moment wo have no
dcllnltu information niul are , therefore , not in
n position to reply to the query. '
This letter is typical of many replies fur
nished , and. coming from a house ot such
standing it may bo taken as conclusive. The
largest dry goods house in New York , whoso
opinion -\vould bo of the greatest Interest ,
while tilklng freely , declined to consent to
the publication of its name. The manager
agreed that the effect of the bill would bo to
entail shipments , especially la low classes
of goods. Velveteens below a shilling or
15 ponce a yard would also , ho thought , suf
fer. These goods are not manufactured in
the United States , aud as long as American
lad lea continue to adinlro the beautiful pllo
nnd rich coloring , they will have them , tariff
or 110 tariff. In goods made from Kgytian
cotton the tariff will not assist American
manufacture , slneo they will hnvo to obtain
the necessary raw material from Kgypt.
Mr. GrlnnoU , United States consul here ,
thinks the bill will luvo anticipated the ef
fect of killing the trade in the principal quali
ties shipped from this sldo. Manchester will
not feel the change so much , ns It has had a
black eye for some time , owing to adverse
tariffs , and matters cannot bo much worse.
Ho thinks Yorkshlrcmon will suffer heavily.
BBnulfonlisilllod with Germans offering
woolen goods nt almost any price. This is
ono effect of the McKtnloy hill and confirms
utatcnients made ubovo that Germany will
feel it moro than this country. Stocks la the
t-ands of continental manufacturer * have ac
cumulated to un enormous extent , and pro-
duc.lcu , now that the great transatlantic
outlets nro clowd , being In csceis of con
sumption , as a result manufacturers now net
ns they have In previous years under similar
circumstances , They have invaded the ene
my's camp nnd are fightlni ? for trade which
has Idlerto been done by Bradford.
All is uncertainty as to the future nnil the
brains of the prcat producers In the north of
Kngland nro being racked to solve the prob
lem which ha.3 boon set them o\vmg to the ac
tion of McICinlcy and his backers.

B ni.i.v,0ct.4. The lapse of thcantlso-
clatist lavs has led to a renewal of the dis
cussion regarding Emperor William's atti
tude on tlio socialist question. The Cologne
Gazette repeats that the canpcror and all his
ministers , with the exception of Dlsnmrck ,
desired tbo continuance of the special act
and were ready to accepts permanent act iu
the form offered by the national liberals
namely , without power of expulsion bu.t
Bismarck disagreed , and the reichstag was
In consequence dissolved. The emperor him
self , says the Gazette , would
never have voluntarily dispensed
with the act. At the same time
the emperor views the death of the laws
without regret , con ndent of hl ability to
solve the social problem without the u by
means of remedial legislation , depriving the
party o discontent of their most serious
grievance , The tone of most of the socialist
meetings the pwt few dajs was ono of exul
tation , but nil were perfectly orderly. At
the great meeting at Bodtbrauerl the men
present appeared to belong to the intelligent
working classes. They -were accompanied by
their wives and families , Several speeches
were made , A sheet eitltleil "Farewell to
