views on the result of the American cleo
ton with the representatives of various
trade interests in Great Britain. The pres
ident and secretary of the Sheffield Cham
Der of Commerce and the heads of various
firms In that city are represented as being
pleased at Mr.. Cleveland's victory. but not
sanguine of any immediate result in the
way of tariff reform. In one interview an
ex-master cutler, named Richardson. is

and will only benefit America A number
of interviews had in Liverpool make 1t
apparent that keen interest is felt there
in the result. and that il Is the chief
topic of discussion in the cotton
market, on the exchange and in
other businese places In that city. Liver

from the Mckinley law. In addition to the

may be expedient to consider the state of
the country's finances and wait until the
Democrats are reinforced through the ad.
