LONDON , Dec. 7. [ Now York Herald
Cablu-Speclal to thu UKU. ] Members of the
American colony , who linvo lived hero many
yearn , say that since the civil war no event
has no excited English Interest , In newspa
per * , clubs and commercial circles , as Presi
dent Cleveland' ' * message. The comments In
the morning papers were uiparcntly ] hastily
Written and upon accounts and information
not so full IH , Inter In the day , reached
. .tho evening press. These almost
entirely Ignore the crown prince ,
the Hus-lan frontier , Tulltimoro
Jail , etc. Uanel court largely took up the
financial question. The money articles of the
"St. James Oazotto said : President Cleve
land's HKMsago had not the bcncflclal effect
upon Htock markets which , at first slulit ,
might have been expected from It. All the
year thu market for American railroad se
curities has been suffering from fear of a
financial crisis brought only the accumula
tion of vast sums of unemployed money in
the United States treasury. The president
recommends such sweeping reduction of taxa
tion as ' would , In the future , pre
vent u similar , accumulation , yrt the
market here was lifeless nil day
, hnd the New York stock oxeliango did not
have been ex
open as buoyant ns might
pected. Thooxplnimtlon is that people doubt
whether congress will act on the rocommcn-
flntlon. If the house docs , the senate , it was
feared , will refuse to agree. At the least
there will bo protracted discussions. When
prompt decision is required bcsiilcs the
'message , if it strikes the keynote of the com
ing presidential election , foreshadows a bitter
( itrugglo and consoiifcntly interruption of
Business. "
Says the Pall Mall Ga/cttc : "President
Cleveland's message is a free trade tract
o/ the first Importance and ought to bo
tvidely circulated by the Cobdeu club , or
' han that venerable body decided to merely
dinound die ) What Is protection ! It Is a
"tax , says President Cleveland , laid upon every
fcoiiBumer lu the land for the benefit of a
minority of manufacturers. This is what it
/B In America. Will the tory free traders
Mildly explain how it will bo anything else
in England I"
- The Evening News , in the course of a long
fdltorial , asks : "Is there a single protection
ist In this country who would propose
fo hamper our manufacturers by placing
'
'import duties on raw material ?
Suppose that In England wo could get rid of
fall Internal taxes save tjioso upon liquors and
tobacco and pay the whole residue of the cost
of the government on duties levied upon im-
.ported goods. Is there a man living among
UB-proi.oetIotiist or anything else , who would
ask for morel In other words , would the
most pronounced protectionist in this country
fut Ills maximum higher than or oven as high
as the maximum for which President Cleve
land asks ) If the policy which the * president
Advocates and which hu so carefully deilncs ,
is a policy of free traders then , sans phrase ,
VfO are all free traders. "
Hut , ns a matter ot fact , all the Jubilant
ejaculations which the S rco trade organs are
entering this morning are , as old Dennis
would have said , a heap of clotted nonsense.
tl'lie Echo , edited by n member of parliament ,
thus argues on the niessugo : "Our free
traders often lament the protectionist policy
| n the United States , but It lias helped more
than it has Injured us. * The American mer-
cantllo marine used to bo second only to our
Own. It nearly disappeared during the civil
war and 1ms not recovereb since , princi
pally because the high prices of raw inn-
Aerials make It impossible to build
ehlpi In the United States auJ run them
ks cheaply as wo can. Let Americans
do as the president proposes and take off the
duties on raw materials and the carrying-
trade world will no longer remain ours , with
out challenge. The competition of the United
States used to bo very formidable in China ,
but that ceased when she made her tariff so
kilgh. Ninety per cent of American exports
pro food and raw materials , whereas the
Manufactures which the 'Americans have
riod so hard to protect do not amount
o more than 10 per cent of the things
thlch they have not .protected. They provide
ho world with the things which they protect
md wo leave free. They are nowhere In the
! 'ace. Thus , with clocks , English and Gor-
' nan clocks are now generally pushing the
/American goods out of the market. The
difference in prices is so largo that It Is possi-
f > lo to-day to deliver some ofthcso goods in
America with the 00 per cent duty and
freight , cheaper tha.n American goods. This
Is duo to 'the great expense of American
labor and also to the line material of which
llioy have to pay the enormous American
duty. As It Is with clocks , so it is with other
Articles. lu a recent annual report the secre
tary of the United States treasury observed
Ihftt what the American manufacturers now
hood is u market for their surplus manufac
tures. If the president's proposal U
carried out the American market for
English goods will , at any rate
for u time , bo considerably Increased
but whether , in the long run , wo shall bo
palners commercially by the American aband
onment , or partial abandonment , of protec
tion is moro than doubtful. "
The Cilobo talks in the vein of a political
proan and during a long loader observes :
'President Cleveland appears to hnvo an eye
to working a class vote. Ho estimates that
less than one-sixth of the htborinu
population | n the states derives
ponolil from the protection offered to mnnu
facturorH. If this bo so tha self-Interest a
the other five-sixths should bring them ovei
on inasRO to the free trade , programme lah

it is true , docs not-culllils now departure bi
hat ugly name. On the contrary ho waxei
Indignant at the supposition thu

trade. His remurkablu utterance wil

mount influence on the next presUleatia
election. Party names and party ties an

lec.tlon and frco trudo. Had Presiden
Cleveland been llko many of his predcccs
Bors , merely n party politician , ho would hnvi
lot the sleeping dogs lie until after the prea
Idcntial clectjMi. In that case his rn oloctioi
would have been almost certain. Whereas
this outspoken message undoubtedly leoji

called upon him thl morning in hopes to ob.
tain his definite view or wishes. Ho houses
| n company with ft deacon. The latter said !
"At the meeting wo all appreciated the com
pliment paid the church and him , raising our
appreciation to his worth , nevertheless we
feel unable to make the sacrifice. With
a view to diminishing his labors hero and
making It less hurtful to his health and pastoral -
toral usefulness , wo decided to procure two
asrfUtanta for him , thus giving him more
freedom to devote himself to the Interests of
the extrusion of Congregationalism in differ
ent pnrts of the kingdom. "
On arriving at Mr. JJerry's ' unpretending
but homo-like residence , bespeaking love of
the necessities of llfo and refined surroundIngs -
Ings wo found he was leaving for a short
journey to obtain rest and gave earnest , tran
quil thought to the situation. He received ,
us heartily and I was soon at homo In hU
compariy. Mr. llcrry Is a fine conver
sationalist and shrewd IK his observations.
All restraint beltig removed we nuno
to business. In reply to my plump question
whether ho had yet decided to accept the call
to Plymouth church ho said : "I have not as
yet comu to any ( Jeclslon. U has been a mat
ter of surprise to find that It has been cabled
to America that I had uccuptod. I suppose
this report must have been copied from the
non-conformist newspaper which has cor
rected the statement , made without authority
in a previous Issue. Several meetings of the
deacons have taken place who made
very powerful appeals to mo to
consider the matter , not as between our
Queen street church ami Plymouth church ,
buUis to between English Congregationalism
and congretlonallsiu in America , assuring
mo of every assistance in an endeavor to
nfalto my church hero a center with a wide
circumference. Last night , from what has
been represented to mo as a very largo and
cnthusiastlo meeting of the church and con
gregation , a resolution has been forwarded
to mo pretty much on the line of the deacons'
views. The meeting , I am lol'd , was abso
lutely unanimous. Our church looks upon
the crisis ns a divlno call to Itself to take up ,
for Itself , a higher and broader work. "
"Havo you received from other quarters
any representations to the same effect ! "
"From nearly every quarter religious ,
ecclesiastical or political the men whoso
Judgment I most rely upon in our own denomi
nation , brought weighty reasons to bear upon
mo against the acceptance and spoke la terms'
too generous , of my past career and my
present prospects of usclulnes * hi England.
They urged , as I bcliovo , that there is cer
tainly going to be In England a stiff light be
tween religion and irruligiou , , while along
with this , unfortunately , the forces of religion
are in my Judgment seriously weakened by
the revival of medievalism in the c&ab-
llshed church and some sacrcdotallsm even
In thu Scotch frco church theology.
I am of the opinion that there Is need of a
broad evangelical interpretation of the gosj
pel which shall bo credible unto a man's
whole nature. That Is the one thing needed
to make religion victorious in the coming
struggle and it has boon pointed out to mo
that for this work I had shown myself ilttod
by sympathy and training. Of.course I know
these siuno conditions obtain lu America , but
my friends emphatically claim that my own
land should have the services of all her sous
in this mutter.
"I need say nothing now , to an American
vapor , of the ecclesiastical and political qucs-
ilons which arc coming up for settlement in
England. It is natural to the leaders of
ibcralism , local or national , to wish to retain
every man whosoconvictionsandenthusiasms
uro so hcartly with them as mine are known
0 bo. I must necessarily take their repre
sentations Into account from all sides. It is
at once to bo perceived that this Invitation
cannot be quickly or lightly dealt with , and
one of the most pleasing features of these , so
trying days , to mo , is that everywhere
Plymouth church < s recognized as ono
of the foremost platforms of the world
and its past influence for good is confessed
by men in all classes in that community and
there are many who write to mo their own
experience. "
"What nro your own feelings at present in
the matter } "
'I am in great perplexity , I am so deeply
sensible of the great opportunity which is
extended to me. Then I am very much
moved by the unexampled affection and kind
ness shown to mo by the members of
Plymouth church. As to what will bo the
outcome of the matter I am not really able to
say. I shall take moans to communicate di
rcctly with Plymouth church when I am In a
position to say anything dellnite. "
"When do you hope .to bo able to decide ! "
"Of course , the sooner the better for all
parties. The strain is great upon mo and the
unxlety is growing more painful to both the
churches by delay. I had hoped to have an
swered before now but circumstances , which
were beyond my control , have necessarily
delayed the matter. I cannot speak with any
dcflnitcuesa on this point boyoud saying that
1 shall do my utmost to hasten a settlement. "
At this Juncture I folded up my notes as
the carriage-for his departure was at the
door. Ho indeed did look perplexed. I took
leave for the Herald impressed , as , more
over , scorns the general opinion here , that
ho would decline. The magnetism of the
pressure to stay is beside him and there is no
magnetism to urge him to go.
Another member said ; "It seems this is ,
indeed , a diviuo call , but it may boa divine
cull to stir up our church to u higher respon
sibility than that which it has hitherto ac
knowledged. This seems to mo to bo sub
btantially the Idea of the members of the
congregation , which wore uot cffusivo hut
extremely cordial and earnest in their desire
that their pastor stay. "
"What is your own opinion about the situa
tion , and do you think Mr.Ucrry will proceed
to Plymouth or remain j"
"Personally , I think Mr. HCIT.V is anxious
to stay , as I bcliovo ho is deeply attached to
our people. At llrst ray opinion was
ho would go to America , the position
bclnff a great and unique one , but on
further thought and consideration
I have secretly a strong Idea that Mr. Bor-
ry's dcslro will become a determination to ra-
main. The work of Mr. Uerry hcro'has been
very great.t'Ho Uina sense exhausted , but
ho can bo assisted. " ' "
"Do you consider his prospects hero in
England equal to those In America * "
" 1 thln.k Mr. Merry's prospects here in the
shap'o of power and Iniluunco are as good as
elsewhere. "
I next saw Alderman Uantcclc , who was
chairman of the meeting of , so to isppuk ,
"plcavo remain.1 Touching the question
what lie thought his pastor would do he
hald : "Mr. llorr.v ha * tlio courapu ol

For lleduolntf tlio Siirplus-A'u-
tlonal Capital News.
Clpvrland llomidly Dciifrnnucd.
WAiiii.NdTox , Dec. " . At to-day's session
of tlio conference of wool growers and deal
ers of the United States , resolutions were
unanimously adopted declaring that the
wool growers and dealers of the United
States , representing a capital of over fT > 00-
000,000 and constituencies of 1,000,000 wool
growers and dealers , having read President
Cleveland's message , declare Its sentiment a
direct attack upon their Industry and in posi
tive violation of the democratic platform of
IS44 ; that tlio argument made by the president
for the removal of protection against foreign
competition is an old ono repeatedly made by
the enemies of industrial progress , effect
ively answered In nearly every school dis-
trlct of the land and so th'orougly dlsposcd'of
by the logic of fact and demonstration of ex
perience. and history. Our "small holdings' *
and our scattered and unorganized condition
makes us au easy prey to free traders , but
we had a right to expect something different
from the chief executive of tlio mo&t prosper
ous , happy and contented nation 'in the
world , made so by the pol
icy of protection- and develop
ment he * now spelts to destroy ;
wo confess the deep disappointment that our
president favors the interests of our foreign
competitors , Justly alarmed at this position ,
we make an appeal from his recommenda
tions to all the people ; to the 7,750,000 of _ our
fellow citizens engaged in manufacturing ; to
tlio army of wugo earners , whoso wages are
maintained by the protective system ; to the
tradesmen and merchants whoso pros.
perity depends upon ours conll-
dent that their Judgment and decision
will be based upon Justice and patriotism
and therefore for the maintenance of the
American policy of protection , to which the
country Is Indebted for its unexampled de
velopment and prosperity. To demonstrate
the injustice of the president's policy and the
fallac of the remedy ho proposes for the re
duction of the 'surplus , wo point to the fact
that if the whole revenue derived from wool
was abolished , it would reduce the surplus
only about ? 5.000,0X ( > , or less than 10 cents
per capita of the population , which is paid by
foreigners. while the old war
taxes ho recommends retained-
yield over $119,000,000 and is a direct tax pur
capita of $ each and is what makes up the
great bulk of the surplus of $140,000,000 and
which fosters a most dangerous monopoly.
Statistics are then given showing that
the act of 18S4 has increased the revenue
from imported wools and diminished the
number of sheep in the United States about 13
per cent , and the annual product in the same
proportion. Tlio president's policy would
bring about a destruction of this industry ,
and the Hamo policy of reduction or abolition
of the tariff would end in disaster to all
the other industrial productive Enterprises of
the country. _
Secretary Fail-child's Report.
WASHINGTON- . 7. The secretary of the
treasury , in his annual report 'submitted to
congress to-day , says : The total ordinary
receipts of the government , during the year
ending Juno 30 , 1887 , were § 1171,403,000 and
the total of ordinary expenditures were
Wlj.SaS.OOO , leaving a surplus of 4 )5,50S,000 ,
wnich , with tlio amount drawn from the cash
balance in the treasury , makes the total
surplus $ SO,0- > 4,000 which is offered for the
redemption of bonds. For the present year
the revenues are estimated 'at ? 'B3,000,000
and expenditures 8210,818,000 , leaving an es
timated surplus of $00,182,000 on Juno 30 ,
1888. Tlio secretary then gives the following
ways in which the receipts and expenditures
of the government may be made about equal :
1. Purchase of the interest bearing debt of
tlio government ; 2. Largo expenditures by
the government for other purposes than the
mrcliase of bonds so that they shall each
year equal the taxation of that year ; 3. Itc-
iluction of the revenue from taxation to the
amount actually required to meet tlio neces
sary expenses. AH these expedients huvo in
common ono merit of preventing tha derange
ment of business which must follow the
hoarding or locking up in the treasury of the
circulating media of the people. '
Tlio secretary goes on to say. The reduc
tion of the revenue from taxation is the only
lit remedy for the evils whicji threaten the
country. This may b.0 accomplished in va
rious ways. Quo is , to reduce or abolish in
ternal revenue taxation. In favor of this is
thu fact that in a small part of the southern
states the internal tax on liquors and tobacco
is thought to be oppressive and odious to the
l > eoplo of thcso regions ; and the further fact
that , by Its reduction the expenses of ita col
lection might 1)0 somewhat reduced.
As to the expense of collect Ing the revenue ,
I suggest that the amalgamation of customs
and internal revenue systems is entirely
'
feasible , and that thereby a large number o'f
oftlces might be abolished. I earnestly com
mend this suggestion to the careful consider
ation of congress. To do away with the whole
revenue from internal taxes at present would
so diminish the revenue that it would bo
necessary to lay duties on articles of importa
tion now frco. The revenue from customs
taxation , the secretary thinks , is the place
where the reduction should bo made and ,
while reducing , advantage should bo taken of
the opporiunlty to reform abuses.
Of the surplus , the secretary says ono use
which could bo made of the money is to
diminish thu taxation to such an extent that
the annual revenues will bo less for some
years to como than appropriations , thus , tlio
accumulated surplus would bo used for ordin
ary expenses and tlio people would gain the
greatest possible good from it.
The report shows that the circulation of the
standard silver dollars has increased $10,403 , .
000 during the past year. The secretary says
la regard to this : "Tho law should bo so
amended as to authorize tho'secretary of the
treasury to Issue certitlcutcs against the coin
age value of bullion bought , and to coin onl.\
such number of dollars as ho might deem ex
pedient hereafter. There should always ho
In the treasury enough silver , besides thai
hold against outstanding cortitlcatcs , to tin-
able the government to at once supply un.\
demand lor it on the part of the people. "
The balance of the report is taken up with
the reports of the customs , revenue , marine ,
emigrant and coast survey.

Brewery Doors Bolted.
Siocx CITV , la. , Dec. 7. [ Special Tele
gram to the HEK. ] The Franz Brewing com
pany to-day stopped the machinery in their
brewery , closed their doors and have retired
permanently from business. This brewing
company , like n number of others in Iowa ,
kept on manufacturing beer aftcrtho passage
of the prohibitory law , maintaining that the
state must compensate the breweries for
their property before the property could bo
rendered valueless by stopping the manufac
ture. The decision of the United States
supreme court , the highest tribunal In the
land , is adverse to the brewing interest.
There wore two things left for them to do
close their business or bo closed. The Franz
brewery chose the former remedy.
It U understood that the com
pany will still continue to make
sales to Nebraska , Dakota and Minnesota
points from their Covington office until the
stock now manufactured is sold. There Is
some talk of the plant being moved to South
Sioux City. ThoSoUcr brewery also closed
to-day at noon. Mr. Solzer says ho will never
again open it in Iowa. Ho could not state at
this tlmo what his future plans would bo.
There was , ho said , a probability that ho
would remove to South Sioux City and open
n brewery there , but there was nothing cer
tain ubout this. A number of holes-in-thc-
wall were also closed to-day. All in all , this
has been a momentous day in prohibition his
tory in Sioux City. Mucli sneculation is indulged -
dulgod in as to what effect all this will have
upon the Arcnsdorf trial.
