EFFECTS OF THE NEW TARIFF. Results of Investigations Inaugurated by the Associated Press, OPINIONS FROM ENGLISH EXPORTERS, s Seriously ¢ to Compete Trade in But Few I Affected—Still Ab with Americans In Many Lines. Loxnos, Sept. 7.—Continning the efforts which the Associated press madein Germany Iast month to ascertain the feeling of foreign manufacturers in regard to the McKinley tariff bill, investigations of a similer charac- tor have been made throughout Great Britain. While the exports to America from certain places show a marked falling off, yet tho totuls for January, February and March this year (the last three months for which figures are obtainable) show an increase over the figures of the same months last year. These months may be regarded as the best ones for comparison since the bill went into offect In 1800 during these three months the rush 10 get goods into America before the bill ve- came a law had not yet begun, and, this year, the same months formed a period when the rush, with the oxception of tin plate, was over and when business may bo supposed to have been in @ more normal condition than at any time since the passage of the bill, Tne dectared value of the exports for the first quarter of 1891, from the consular disteict of Great Britain and Ireland, amounted to over $46,000,000, against 45,757,714 during the same quarter of Iast year. Among the cities embraced in this district are Belfast, Birmingham, Bradford, Bristol, Cardift, Cork, Dublin, Dundee, Dun- formline, Falmouth, Glasgow, Hudders- fleld, Hull, Leeds, Leith, Liverpool, Lon- don, Manchester, Newcastle, Nottingham, Plymouth, Shefiield, Southampton and Tun- stall. London, from where articles of every conceivable doscription are exported, leads the list with a racord of 812,750,000, which is nearly $2,000,000 less tnan in January, Feb- ruary and March, 1590, Effect on the Tin Plate Trade. Interviews with several leading manufac- turers and exporters show that the metal trade is the one principally affected in the Laverpool district, and the tin plate trade particularly. There 1s complete stagnation in this industry at. pres- ent among buyers, To anticipate the work- 1ng of the tariff as far as practicable, imports during the six months prior to July 1, when the new rate went into effect, were more than enough to supply & yoar's demand for tin plate. The big manufacturers here are all hopoful that there will be a change in the law before the next presidential election. One of the leading tin plate manufaotu sald we are making tin plate in fact, but questioned our being able to make it profit- ably. Oneof the largest Liverpool exporters, Who has recently been in America to judge [for himself, ~ oxpresses his opinion lin this way: “Tho increased duty has caused staguation o the tin plate trade. But as we had time sufficient Mor us to get twelve months stock landed ‘before July 1, we can afford to wait this year and do little or nothing else. Trade is now at a standstill with the South Wales works,” he continued, “‘and the Liverpool exporters are- doing nothing except in tin plate for oil cans, etc. The duty does not af- foct this branch of the trade except in tho right side. If the McKinley bill is sustained after the coming eloction the Euglish trade /must bo impaired, but for the present the safo and only policy to b pursued by both manufacturers and men is to keep the prices as low as possiblo in order to discour- ago manufacturers in America. A$ t0 tno cost | cannot say, although we are anxious toknow what they find the cost of produciug 1o be.” Tho representatives of other large export- ing firms exprossed similar views. One of them added: **We need not be afraid of being rmanently affecied. Tho new tariff was ntroduced by McKinley with the object of greating and stimulating sn_industry they don’t possess to any great exteut. His idea was that by making the duty what it now Is 'he would enable Ameri- can manufacturers to ostablish works which could profitably produce tin plates and so gradually drive the British importer out of the market. But it has been ascor- tained by a deputation who weat out there to luquire, that they cannot possibly do this unless they put on prices for their manufac- ture as would be burdensome to their cus- tomers.” elsh makers, interviewea at Cardiff, dinit that the time must_come when Ameri- cans will make their own plates, but they declare that they fear no immediate attempt. Prices at Cardiff bave greatly decreased and are now barely remunerative, but the de- mand 15 the same as over, all the works belug 1 full oporation. It s also claimed that the domand from America 1s just as constant as before the introduction of the tariff. Therefore, the Welshmen say, that 50 far the McKiuloy bill has not affected the tin plate trade, though its indirect_effect has been to cause prices to decreaso. _Pricos, however, are not_much lower thac prevailed beforo the tariff was heard of, and tho Welshmen think that should the time come when Americans will make their own tin plates, the Welsh manufacturers are confi- dent of their ability to hold their own agalnst them, no matter how high s protective tariff they may impose. Iron and Steel Manufacturers. Among the iron manufacturers at Glasgow William Jacks & Co,, and H. L. Soligman were interviewed, They said the ron manu- facturers of Scotlund are at present disturbed by a London syndicate, nd cannot export much iron, but the principal cause of the lim- ited oxportation lies In the very large in- crease in the manufacture of pig iron in America, 8 manufacture which last year sur- ed the proauction of Great Britain. A great deal of steel scrap for remeiting went 10 America, but they say the McKinloy tarift has killed this trade, No other kind of steel has boon exportad from Glusgow to the states for years, Jotton and Woolen Fabrics, Among the textile manufacturers Templo- ton & Co., Cleveland, Campbell & Co., Rule & Groenless, John Knox, Higgins & Priteh- ard and Ruthorford Bros. were seen. There was a unanimity of opinion among them toat it is 10 soon yet to conclude what shall be the full effect of the tariff upon woolen goods. So far as the trade has gone, they say, the tarift looks as If it wero quite prohibitive. Certamly the trade in the -lower qualities will cease, High class woolon goods will bo exported, as weli-to-do will fnsist on having them. A o was done in Oxford and zephyr This trade with America began seven yoars ago, but the Americans during that period bave learned o manufacture them and tho (ncreased tariff has therefore Bit the Glasgow manufacturers in thesa very heavily. They will therefore Bave to fiud out novelties in order to induce exports. America used to import yarns to make theso shirtings, but tho tariff ‘has also killea this trade between Glasgow aud America. Iu cotton bandkerchiofs of the lower quality the tariff will injure the Glas- gow mauufacturers, but in the higher quali- tea they still expect to continua their trade with America. Lace Curtains and Oarpets. Lace curtains, the duty on which wcreusea trom 40 to 60 per cent, were largelv exported o tho states. The manu(acturers were busy before the tarlff came into force, but they think that if the Americans do not put up machinery the Scotch manufacturers of these goods will be able to hold their own. An in: oreuso of 20 por ceut would not keep the mericans from purchasing these goods of {ch mauutacturers, but the duty may en [eurage Amerioan wanufucturers to st up iness for themselves, Scotoh wanufac- surers also think that the bumidity of their piimate will always be in their favor, as in & ~ Tiot climate 1t Is (mpossible to spin nne num- bers of cotton yarns. Linen irade manufacturers think that no blow has boen dealt to the linen trade by the tanfl. In fact they believo bero that the Americans cannot weave linen goods beeauss of their climate. Thero are groat carpet Glasgow but they are not much the tariff. It is frankly admitted that the Americans cau make carpets as well as the Scotch, only the latter believe that they will still be able to get w market in the United States for choice designs and superior work manship, notwithstanding the tarif. Knives and Cutlery. In Sheffleld there ars, roughly spoaking, between 3,000 and 4,000 men engaged in sup plying the American macket. For the first fow months after the tariff came into_opera tion these found great dificulty i obtaining employment, but recently there has boen a perceptible improvement in their condition, %0 far as the more valuablo goods are con cernod, Tho lowor priced articles are af- fected, howover, very greatly The heads of the well known firm Joseph Rogers & Sons claim that thoy have not been damayed so much by the opera: tions of tho new tariff directly as the uncertainty which _exists with ¢d to future legislation. People will not hen the high duties are in operation, lio they stand a chance of veing lowered. ite remarked that when the McKinley tariff first came into operation trade was pulled down a great deal, as the frm expested would be tho case. Instead of trade becom- ing worse, however, it had gradually im- proved of late, and he was of the opimion that they would be able w sce the tariff safoly through, T'ho Shefleld manufacturers claim that the best cutlery nitherto manufactured in the manufacturers in affected by of United States is not equal to that imported | for Shefteld and made by the better known firms, It is supposed that the excellence of Sheftield cutlery is duo to some peculiar property in the water. but there is no doubt that the real cause of the superiority of the steel goods made in that town is their su- periority over the handicraft.of Americans. N rs for the Futur Mr. Rogers states that high class goods always find a ready market in the Unitod States or elsowhers, and he believes that tho American- tariff has had a more disastrous effect upon German wares than upon the cutlery which Sheftield is exporting to Amer- ica. Upon the lower priced goods, in Shefield as well as Germany, the tariff has operated projudicially, the specific duty on so much ad valorem hitting manufacturers of these classes of wares very hard. In answer to a question concerning tho ultimate recovery of the American market by Sheffield drms, Mr, Rogers said: “We are smiling now, and thero is hope for the future. The McKinloy tarifl may have troubled us to begin wih, but it does not trouble us now. Things are, however, uncertain. 1€ the McKinloy tariff stays our trade will be even better than it is at present because thero would not be so much uncertainty.” Rogors furthor explained that had it not been for the Sheffield and Solingen firms rushing stocks into tho states just provious to the passage of the McKiniey bill thero would, in his opinion, have been a more speedy recovery. Speaking generally, he said hie firmly believed that, although trade bad not risen to the former standard, prospects tad greatly brightened and manu’ facturers in Shefeld woro increasingly hope- ful. Manchester Not a Sufferer. While some parts of the peighboring coun- try have suffered severely from the effects of the now tariff, this cannot be snid of Lan- cashiro, luquiry among the principal firms in Manchester, “who. diractly or indirectly may be said to represent Lancasbire in this matter, reveals that the McKinly tarift has produced no alarming results in the Man- chester district. T'ho princigal reason is that a very small part of tho exports of Lancashiro cotton goods went to the United States before the new tariff came ioto operation, the exact _proportion being only 4 per cent. The trade in the conrser cotton fabrics had been prac- tically lost before the McKinley tariff was made. The United States has proved beforo tnat time that they could spin, weave and bleach the coarser qualities of goods in any quantity and in paying conditions. Not only had they supplicd their own wants, but they had created a considerable shipping trade with outside countries, Manchestor still claims to keep the lead in what may be called the superior class of goods, and to retain, in spite of the tariff, its business in the Uest qualities of cotton dress materials, Built up Another Tradr. At the beginning of the year trade was greatly depressed by the tariff, but the Leeds manufacturers say that they have built up a trade with their own colonies and with Italy, which compensates them for the l0ss in tho United States. The year, so far, has heen freor from failures than in many’ preceding years, and the liabilities less than 50 per cent. The head of one of the largest firms in ro- ply to_questions said: *“We have dune a large trade for the last twenty-five years with America both in the better and medium makes of goods. Siuce the new tavift we have ceased making the medium or cheap kinds of fabrics and having given our attention to light cloths for which we can do n brisk trade despite the tariff. Kor heavy goods we do not receive many orders, as the woeight s sgainst us with the present tariff, but tor shipping goods we are as busy as ever. Amoricans cannot competo with us, either in style, quality or pricein light goods Ior common goods, such as serges, tweeds and cotton wraps, we stand no chance with the present tariff, and thero is un end of this class of trade so far as America is concerned. Other markets, however, have been found, Canada taking move than she did. Some firms engaged in ready-made juvenite clotning are of the opinion that they will ba able to meet the tariff ata profit and as win- tor approachies arrangements will have boen cowmpleted to try the experiment. Bradford's Trade Hurt, According to Bradfora manufacturers, the offect of the tariff upon exports to' the United States has so far proved even more projudicial to the Braaford trade than was anticipated. And though, upou careful oxamination of the monthly roturus of ex- vorts from July, 18%), to July Nt appears that one or two of the larger dopart- ments are showing some improvemsnt, from an Englishman’s point of view, tho fact remains that there has been o docrease in the aggregate valuo of declared exports of every kind from Bradford tothe United States. In May, June and July last, by comparison with thoso three months in 1560, 1t was, taking the total decrease of three mouths, larger by £100,000 than that during Qctober, November and December. The representative hero of the American house, wiich hasabout the largest dealings with Bradford, says he thinks that when busiuess gets into the norma!_condition here the reduction of the voluwe of business with the United States will not amount to more than twenty-five per cent. The head of the lurgest mercantile houso in Bradford says the sustained falling oft of exportsof stuff goods, worsted coatings and = seals and plushes, the three leading manufacturers, has been larger than any- body here expocted. 1t was not thought that the diminution of these classes would, after the first three months, exceed one-third, but it was more than 50 per cent, taking tho threo togother, last July, and that was b far the most favorable comparison for Brad- ford which has been made siuce the new tariff commenced. pteh Burlaps. At Dundee representatives of Messrs. Cox Bros., Grammond, Gailroy Sons, Scott Sons and others were 'interviewed. The general opition expressed is, however, that the offect of the McKinley tariff in Dundeo aud the sur- rounding district bas been in the linen trade to cause manufacturers to use much smaller sized yarns and to send to America much highor priced goods. There is, they say, in many markets w demand for linens or useful and cheaper makes. The new tariff prevents such goods frow being sent, & the duty falls with its pronivitive force upon the ordinary domestic linens, In Jute goods there 1s, upon plo manufacturers of Dundee, only & very slight ehange, but the abolition of the duty ou raw jute, a duty of about £4 a ton upon & fibre which sells at £10 to £13 por ton, may in the ond croate a jute industry in Awmeri this, however, bas not had timea s yot to give confidence to capitalists. To eroct works in America is, in the opinion of Dundee manu- facturers, & great peril. Capital, they say, is shy to risk to build upon a foundation 8o un- stable. A popular vote, they argue, may change all the conditions on which such & trade is built up. In the meantime, the very large American wheat crop with the deficient crop in Kurope requires the move- ment of much grain from the United States to Europe and, therefore, the demand for British made burlaps 1s very great. Consul General New's Opinion. he wost interesting and important state- THE ments to Amerion in connoetion with this in- vestigation were obtained n John C, New, consul gencral of the United States at London, who was asked by the As: sociatod press corraspondent what were the effects of the tariff act on the export o in Loudou and Great Brtain. General New safld “1 can only givo you the facts that have come nunder my observation in my own ofMceo and those that have been reported to me by the coasuls nnder my jurisdiction.

NEW YORK REPUBLICANS. Getting Ready for the State Conven- tions—Mn Interview with Piatt. Rocuesten, N. Y., Sept. 7.—Very fow delegates to the repuvlican state convention which will meet hero on Wednesday, have as yet arrived, but some hundreds will reach the city tonight, and tomorrow and in an- other twenty-four hours political excitement will bo at its height. Thomas C. Platt arrived this morning and in an interview said: “‘Andrew D. White is it the fleld to stay and has strong support. VanCott has many friends, among the New York delegatés, but it does not seem polite to ask him to leave his present position. Cap- tains Becker and Wadsworth are still in the field and will be strongly supported in their respective sections. Thero is no*hing in this Tracey movement. It is not wise to run an administration candidato. “What avout the minor officest" was the next query. “Well, William A. Sutherland of this city, has a strong backing for attornoy genora and will probably be nominated.

St. PeTENsUURG, Sept. 7.—The prospects for & good barvest in the Caucasus are splen- did. The government has reduced by 50 per ocnt the rate hitherto levied upon coreuls wansported on the Caucasian railroads in order to facilitate the conveyanco of kr from one part of the country to the other. In addition, tha navigation companies on the Caspain sea dnd the river Volga have come to the determination that they wiil also lessen their tarifls. It is oficially announced that there are largo reserves of ryo stored in the grainaries of the Baltic province of Livonia and tho governor of that provinco has offered to lend 1,000,000 poods to the provinces which find themselves daficient in their supply of rye owlng to bad crops oc other roasons. This loun of 1,000,000 poods is to be rupaid to Li- vonia wilen the next harvestis gathered. The peasants of Courland, another of tho Baltic provinces, have maas a similar offor. They announce their willingness to lend 1,- 000,000 poods of rye to less fortunate provin- ces'on the sole condition that the imporial government will see that the grain lent is restituted in due course of time. —— INDIANX DESPERADO € PTURED.

Omaha Lodge of Elks gave its second clam bake at Pries’ lake yesterday afternoon. At 1:30 o'clock three tally-ho coaches loaded with members of she loage and their friends left the lodge room at Iifteenth and Donglas and enjoyed a delightful drive to the lake north of Florence. On arriving there aparty of caoks in charge of Lew Frunklin, the well known court bainff of Lincoln, and Ed. Allen, the ex- marshal, had made preparations for an old- fashioned Rbode Islana clam bake. An exca- vation 6% feet and one foot deep had been paved with large stones, on which had been builta huge five. By tho timoe the party rived these stones wers-white with heat and the firo was cleaned off. A layer of damp sea weed was spread over tho stones and on this was spread four bushels of Lit- tle Ni clamus, ome bushel of oys- ters, ten Dbluefish, Lwo bushels of sweet corn, ono bushel of sweet potatoes, one bushel of Irish potatoes, and four dozen lob- sters. A layer of sca weed was placed over this and a argo tarpaulin covered over all. Dirt was piled on the edges to keep the heat from escaping and tha cooking commenced. Prof. Franklin presided over this part of :lh\z feast whilo Prof. Allen made the chow- er. When the feast was cooked eighty-five bungry men satdown to two long tables and the mountain of viauds was soon ‘“out of sight.” It was u clear case that ‘‘the proof of the pudding is the eating." The whole affair was a decided success ana the committee. Messrs. Georgo Krouk, F. P. Gridley aud Henry Philbin, were the recip- iants of mauy congratulations.

Tt is understood that the gov- erament 1s only waiting the arrival of an English war ship to make a joint demonsyra- tion to puuish tne natives who refuse to obey Malietoa. Unless some action is taken with- out delay there will probably be trouble. The great cause of complaint among the natyves is tne way in which the sulary list is clim bing up. The Swedish gentlemen came out with the chief justice to act as clerk of court and marshal. * As it turned out there was nothing 1 theso positions, two new places wero cre- ated for them—chief of police ana secretary 1o the chief justice. The people, however, have confldence in the chief justice's impar- | tiality, slow. Much dissatisfaction has been caused by tho acts of President Baron Senft von Pil- sack. The currency question is the burning The only objection is that he is very issue of the hour. A German firm imported a number of siiver marks from Germany some time ugo and wished to pass them at gold valuo in the payment of taxes, etc. Most of these coins are old marks of Wurtemburg and other small principalities. The residents ovjected to them, as they cannot pass them except at a discount in America or the colo- nies. The president, however, insisted that they be receivod. The king and tho govern- ment would not take them, but tl:e president again ordered them to do so or Germany would bo angry. They again_refused, but Pilsack still declined to aceept their decisi and the question remains open.
