English Manufacturers Virtually Make q
Confession

The efforts of British manufacturers to
defeat the bills in aid Of American indus
tries introduced during the session of the
5lst congress must have cost them dear, If
we can Judge by the following declaration
of the London Financial Times:
IF a Mckinley law were passed every
year the great industry Of politics as prac-
ticed at Washington would no doubt
prove more and more remunerative; but
while there may be no imit u the O0odle-
absorbing capacity OF members of the
legislature, there is a point at which even
the American electOr will draw the line
Doubtless wheu English manufacturers
and hnauciers see not only tne steady
transfer Of plush, Wcrsted and other mills
10 this country, but the reciprocity treaties
which are being negotiated By the aid or
the very legislation they spen- 80 much
money to defeat they forget tho provision
the tinpiate section OF the Mckinley bill
which has given renewed hopes TO the
Welsh makers and the defeat 3t the GER
eral shipping bounty bill, and regret their
heavy expenditures. The three million
dollars extra profit the boast Of having
taken out Of us since Senator spO0ner in
tr0duced his pr0viso that tin should be adj
mitte3 free If our mills we're not making
one-third the amount imported within six
wears, must have recouped them for aaout
half of their expenditure, and Represent
alive Cann0n's defeat Of the general ship
ping bounty bill is probably worth Overcome
hundred million dollars TO them.
IL was apparently IN torget1liness Of
their gains and in extreme disgust az their
losses shat the Financial Times wrote the
above quoted sentence preparatory to re-
snesting it, readers to "g,anee at the eff
