NEW YORK, Dec. 4.-Interviews with q
arge number OF capitalists, bankers,
manufacturers, and business men general.
Iy indicate that they regard the election Of
Mr.. Carlisle with favor, and feel none OF
that alarm which aditnr McClnra, Of Phil
adelphia was so quick to discover. Mr..
Jay Gould, In an Interview with cores
pendent last evening, said he regarded 1t
as agood selection. Mr.. Carlisle, he said,
is a good statesman, and he will undoubted-
| " perform the duties Of bis Office fearlessly
and impartially. He did not
think the Democratic party would try
any experiment in the way Of free
trade very coon. 'In fact" continued
Mr. Gould, ''the speech made by Mr..
Carlisle to-day bad good ring, and what.
ever uneasiness the public may have had on
the subject Of premature free trade legisla-
lion, his address ought to carry
with 1t sufficient quieting effect" Mr..
Gould does not think the Speaker of the
House, however strong his free-trade con-
viations may be, will have any great infu-
ence upon the House. He did not think
that Mr. Ca.lisle's free. trade principles
had much to DO with his election, as great
many Democrats who voted for him would
not favor free trade at an election. 81 do
not think, - be added, "that the country
Us ready for free trade. Its pros
perlty is largely bound up in the
Iprosperity Of the manufacturing interests,
and until labor and manufacturers reach

needs to-day Is rest, In order TO develop Its
resources. Ihaye had offered to me Eng

( Mr.. Carlisle an eminently wise one.
Mr.. Henry Clews, the banker. said; 81
egard the electtsu q MFR. Carlisle as an ex.
client choice. do not think the question
II free trade was taken into consideration
when the selection was made, but that the
,entle man was chosen for bis superior abil-
ty and fitness for the position. He is
nan who treads on nobody's toes, and by
lis fairness and good will for all has made
iost Of friends, so that when the time arriv-
I'd to place him in au exalted posi-.
ion, those friends clustered around
nim.' Several brokers. among
hem E. L. Clarke and L. H. Badeau, ex-
pressed themselves as highly pleased with
he choice, aud all were unanimous In de-
staring that they did not think Mr.. Carlis-
e's free.trade principles would be brought
out during his administration. "There
are other men, y" said Mr.. Clarke, "'who
IRE less ortspoken on the subject, and who
would have been
MUCH MORE DANGEROUS
n the chair than Mr.. Carlisle. The time
will come, and perhaps not many years
hence, when free trade will be an estab.
ished fact, and to that time the whole
financial and commercial world IS looking
forward with trembling fear as disaster
o greater or less extent will be sure to
follow"
Mr.. Esterbrook, the pen manufacturer,
who Is personally acquainted with Mr..
Carlisle, said he knew the Speaker was not
free trader at heart, but for the sake OF
policy. he regarded the cry Of free-trade
as party measure, inaugurated and kept
awake by Henry Watterson, for his own
ends. He did not think Congress would
isre to pass free.trade measure, even
.hough they had the opportunity. Nor did
no believe 1t would be a party issue at the
Presidential campaign, as the folly Of such
policy would reveal itself long before that
time.'
