The Effects of the Election.

The american Manufacturer, standard
authority on the iron business, has thefol-
lowing cautious, sensible reflections on the
result of the election. tbs the duty Of all
to take as cheerful a view of the situation
as possible, and not give way to gloomy
forebodings in advance of possible de-
velopments. Give the Democratic ad-
ministration a fair trial, and don't pre-
judge it.. Let lit be judged by the actual
facts and developments, and in the mean
timeido all that can be done to inspire con-
fidence among the people. If unfayorable
conditions are to follow,swe will know it
soon enough, without anticipating and
worrying over what we do not know:
A number of orders for iron. nails and
glass, received by, Pittsburg firms, have
been countermanded since the election of
Blaine has become doubtful, and other or
ders are held back. 1t is greatly to be re-
GREETED that a transfer of power from one
party to another should cause shock to
business. We believe, however, that
there is more alarm felt than the situation
Warrants 1t is true that the difference
between the platforms Of the two parties
is the difference between protective
tariff and a tariff for revenue exclusively,
but the transfer of power is not complete,
even if it shall prove that Cleveland has
been elected President. The Senate will
remain Republican, by an increased ma
jority, and the Democratic majority in the
House has been very greatly reduced, with
the probability that it will be entirely over
come within the next two years. 1t
should also be remembered that even with
the, House constituted as it is the Repub-
licanS, with the aid of the protectionist
Democrats, were last winter able to defeat
an attempt to reduce the duties. OF
course, it is to be expected that should the
administration become Democratic num-
Der of, the protectionist Democrats, would
weaken and go with their party IN tariff
legislation but, on the. other hand, by the
time the Democratic administration comes
into power, if it does come, there will also
win containa sufficiently increased mum.
Der of Republicans to more than offset any
detection on the part of protectionist
Democrats, Furthermore, with increased
power and responsibility generally comes
increased conservatism. Since the mere
probability of Democratic ascendancy
causes gloom and depression in the indus
trial world, lit is not likely the leaders of
that party will risk the loss Of power and
Patronage by doing anything that would
Increase the alarm and distrust that exist
Especially will the rapid growth. of the
pfotecSipnist sentiment in the South exert
a salutary restraint. The seat of the
party's power is in that section, and to
risk its ascendancy there is to risk all.
Looking at the present situation from
is much cause for uneasiness on the part
of manufactHrers.an iothers. Certainly,
it will not help matters to meet trouble
half way or to give a too free expression to
fears. lit is tfalA LAS stated in the opening
of this article, that trade has for the mo-
ment received a decided backset, but there
are good reasons, as we think we have
shoWn.rfor believing that this will soon
give way to a fair degree of confidence and
an increase in the volume Of trade.

eighteen have been elected, while of the
