THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE. N0 ZONGER INDIFFERENT. | The Present Attitade of the London Press Towards the McKinley Bill. EXPRESSIONS FROM VARIOUS SOURCES. Some “Don't Care a Hang' While Others Care Much—Some Views from the Great American Importers, (Copyright 1890 by James Gordon. Rennett) Loxooyx, Oct. 4.—[New York Herald Cable-Special to Trre Ber)—The McKin- ley bill having passed into law, the London dailies are beginning to takea more serious view of it. At first they were disposed to make light, of the whole matter, then they found out that the enormous inerase in du- ties on English imports into the states would give a great imipetus to the commerce of this country and securc to Great Britain the con- trol of all the neutral markets of the world. Now the Times denounces the new measure as & distinctly unfelendly act towards Great Britain, How can it be that if it is to give England acon- siderable commercial advantage and keep the United States the background! What cause of complaint is given to the country by legis- lation which confers a direct boon upon her wanufacturers and merchantst The Daily News tellsus that the effect of the McKinley bill must be to weaken Amer: fean competition in the world's markets and conflrm the commercial supremacy of the British people. The Standard takes the same view that the Americans are only injuring themselves. “This new tariff may bea process of development ot the ex- penseof the United States” remarks the Standard, “which has been going on since 1860 and will continue to go on somewhat at an accelerated pace.’’ If this is so, why complain of tne tariffi Why not rthe erect astatue to MeKinley on the Thames embankment! Meanwhile the Herald has been feeling public opinion on thesubject in the greatest industrial center in Enge land, viz—Manchester and surrounding districts. Opinions in Coltonapolis, as elsewhere, vary greatly, some business men ydeclaring they dida't care ahang for the bill and others mattaining the exact con . Naturally the opinions of the representatives of the great American dry goods houses, who make Manchester their buying hesdquuters for the Unitea Kingdom, possess peculiar value, and the Herald correspondent has ac- cordingly called upon the principal firms for the purpose of getting ideas, Chicago houses liave all along been strong opponents of the McKinley crowd. Mr. Yates of James H. Walker & Co., Chi- cago, said the increased duties would undoubtedly cause exports to fall off and that Yorkshire firms would be hit the hard- est. Cotton goods will not, he thinks, be affected so much in comparison, except in the case of velvets and other fine fabrics. Mr. Yates believes that, on the whole, Germany and France suffer more than this country, and German hosiery maoufacturers are specially marked out for punishment. This accounts for the loud squeals whichhave proceeded fron Roubail, Elbeur, Cheunitz and elsewhere on the continent. At the ofice of Carson, Pirie, Scott & Co, Chicago, the view eems held that dull times may be anticipated when the present heavy stocks in the hands of American importershave been disposed of and it becomes necessary for them to effectchanges more clearly shown, Mpr, Tomlinson of Jones Brothers & Co., a house known in the American market for over forty years, says the bill willnot perma- nently injure them. The firm is principally engaged in the manufactureand distribution of high class cotton goods, and Torulinson makes regular trips to New York. Their orders for the coming season have been placed as usual, just as thoigh there had beén no McKinley bill. Ho considers that Americans buy the finest goods of any nation in the world, and that they will have the best, no matter what it costs, The vill will simply tax the people of the states for the benefit of a few eastern manufacturers. Edmund Potter & Co., the largest calico printers ia the United Kingdom, are notin a position yet to estimate the probable result of the measure, J. R. Barlow of Barlow & Jones is at the head of the firm producing the most artistic and costly cotton fabric that can be woven by complicated mechanism—the Jacquard loom, Their goods being of a char acter not yet scen by American man- ufacturers, ho does not anticipate serious faling off 1n exports to the states, His flrm employs 3,000 operatives and has a New York house, Oscar M. Behrus of Louis Behms & Sons, one of the largest American shippers to Ku- rope, said bie had received a circular from the United States consul at Manchester asking for information similar to that whichl de- sived. The following is a copy of the reply sent to Mr, G ¥nnell’s fnquiry : Dear Sir—We have received your letter of October 1, in which you #ask us to give in writing an opinion reguding the effect the new McKinley bill will have on trade between KEnglaud and the United States, In reply we bog to inform you that we shall be plcmcd indeed to let you have our answer to the question as soon as we receive definite information from our New York louse as to the real amount of extra duty which is to be charged under the new bill, ~ At the present moment we have no definite information and are, therefore, not in » position to reply to the query. ' This letter is typical of many replies fur nished, and coming from & house of such standing it may be taken as conclusive. The largest dry goods house in New Yorlk, whose opinion swould be of the greatest luterest, while talking freely, declined to consent to the publication of its name. The manager agreed that the effect of the bill would be to entail shipments, especially in low classes of goods. Velveteens below a shilling or 15 peuce a yard would also, he thought, sut- fer. These goods are not manufactured in the United States, and as long as American ladies continue to admire the beautiful pile and rich coloring, they will have them, tarift or notarift. In goods made from Egytian ootton the tariff will not assist American manufacture, since they will have to obtain the necessary raw material from Egyot, Mr. Griunell, United States consul here, thioks the bill will have anticipated the ef. fect of killing the trade in the principal quali- ties shipped from this side. Manchester will not feel the change so much, as it has had a blackeye for some timo, owing to adverse tarifls, and matters cannot be much worse, Heo thinks Yorkshiremen will suffer heavily, @Brudford is filled with Germaus offering woolen goods at slmost any price. This 1s one effect of the McKinley bill and confirms statements made above that Germany will feel it more than this country, Stocks in the rands of continental manufucturers have ac- cumulated to an enormous extent, @and pro- duc.on, mow that the great transatiantic N OMAHA, SUN DAY MORNING, OCTOBER 5, 1800-TWENTY PAGES outlets are closed, being In excess of con- sumption, as a result manifactirers 1ov: wct as they have in provious years under similar circumstances, They have invaded the ee- my's camp andare fighting for trade which has hiterto been done by Bradford All is uncertainty as to the future and the brains of the great producges in the north of England are being ricked to solve the prob- lem which hasbeen st then owing wthe tion of McKinley and his bckers, pidbomn iy Startling Revelations Prov (Copuright 150 by Jumes Goredn Benne!
