Congressman Mckinley, In IN inter-
View here. sAids
~ hsse not the slightest doubt that
the tssl6 bill viii pass tho Senate, aud
judging from my last conversation with
Abdrtch end sherman, / AM Of the opinion
that very little alteration will be made
from the way Il was reported BY the
HOuse. There afe some minor changes
which. Of course, will be made IN II that
cannot be fOFeseen, and We shall not b.
able 70 tell just Whist the bill will b. until
IT, passage, which, I think, will not be
later than the lrst Of September. Or
course II will receive Q full aud fair dis
cussi0n, but the latter part Of August
will probably see the end Of 1t. II win
have : good effect In New England. I
am confident Of that, but time must be
given before the best results can be At
tanned. The anticipation that the bill
will pass has caused greatly Increased
fmportAti0ns, and those gOods must be
cleared before the real aud practical
merits Of the bill can be seen. l know
there u some opposition to 1t here In
Massachusetts,, where private inter
ests are concerned. but your mer-
chants and manufacturers who have
studied the measure In I'll Its details are
thoroughly satisfied with 1t. They want
the bill to become . law, because It Is,
above oil, . United States bill. II pro-
teetx American industries which need
protection, xnd stimulates all our indus
tries. II will stimulate the wooden in-

languishing, and will establish new en-
terprises. Tho linen industry especially.
will be benefited by thls bill, although,
Of course the 6rst and Immediate effect
may be the Increase OF the price OF linen.
Competition will o regulate that.
Yes, l think you will find that the wooden
and cotton schedules of the tariR are
especially valuable to New England.
There has been = general reduction on
iron. We have imposed q duty on tin
plate; but that IL one Of the industries
We can build up. II is only = question OF
giving our " people = chance. We
have sheet-iron here as good as can be
produced anywhere. and 1t Is SO with our
TN In the Black Hills. Think OF the
tremendous advantage that must come to
ms with the building and broadening Of
| this great industry.
ESQ far as sugar Is concerned, it will
have u good effect for our people. AZ we
reported II to the Senate. the schedule
was IL Dutch standard. but the Senate.
| see, has reduced IL to 10. You have
large sugar retineries here, and what
your retiners want IL u compensating
duty for the cost Of retining--that Is to
say, a duty to compensate for the differ
cnce IN the price Of labor here and in
foreign countries. Now. | have avoided
interviews on this matter, and | prefer
to say nothing more just now. l will
say this. that l would trust this bill.
fairly and properly administered, to do
far more than We ever anticipated. l
say this with great modesty and without
wishing 10 be- understood as taking any
special credit to myself for 1t. II Is not
my bill: for, although I had much to do
| with the framing OF II. ] had eminent
associates. and the tariff bill rs reported
is the result Of most careful elaboration.
The aim OF the bill IL 10 protect and f0s-
ter American industries of every de-
scription. and to create new ones. As |
have said, It Is 4 thoroughly practical
and thoroughly United States bill. The
Republican party will benefit by it. rs
any party would necessarily be benefited
having the distinction aud responsibility
Of Its authorship. The bill il sure to
pass"
