The Result Taken As a Reputation Of
the Mckinley BIZ.


| LONDON, Nov. 1O-Tne Times after com
menting on the fac. that the Republican
party, since Gen. Grants second term, has
only retained its hold on the country by
mechanical advan .ages that would have
been swept away almost at any time by a
plebiscite, saw: Even the creation Of new
states and the excl son from recognition
of territories suspected to be democratic
failed to check the progress of tue over
] whelming tidal wave. The catastrophe Is
/ more complete because it was wholly unex-
pected. II, as the republicans boosted. the
/ muses. Of people favored the Nick nley
law the democrats could not have swept
( ali before them How far toe democrats
are able or willing to 60 in the direction Of
/ tariff reform is another matter Without
! control Of the Senate it will be impossible
! to repeal the 3lckinley law. The pr ba-
/ bililes favor a combination rendering tariff
reform possible, but the democrats are
/ likely to move with extreme caution. The
moral Of Mr.. Cleveland's obligation TO
Tammany Hall is not consoling one. Ills
| election is not only a pro est agai 81 ex-
| treme protection but death blow to I
efforts Of party men to continue the maui
featuring of political capital from the
memories of the civil war"
DON'T LOOK FOR A CHANGE.
The London Telegraph says it does not
anticipate any materi relaxation IN the
tariff as a result Of The assumption of power
by the democrats. Ii thinks that it will act
as q check upon the establishment OF TIN
plate and other manufacturing Industries in
america and will thereby lnure TO the bene-
fit of foreign trade. Pres dent Harrison
and Mr. Depew, it says made little poitl-
cal capital by their attempt to propitiate
the irish vote.
THINKS BLAINE MIGHT HAVE WON.
i
q rstegic point of view that the republican
convention made great mistake in nomi-
mating President HARRISON instead of Mr..
BIaiue. We confess that we do not think
much of the democratic victory in New
York Mr.. Cleveland will have to pay his
debt to Tammany Hall by considering Hill
in the direct formation of the government.
We are inclined TO contribute no little share
in bringing about the result OF the election
to the aisgraceful Homestead tragedy
REPEAL IMPRACTICABLE.
The Post thinks that the repeal OF the
Mckinley law will be impracticable be-
cause all the money of the United States
treasury will be required to meet bills which
the republicans have accepted on account
of pensions and naval expenditures. and be-
cause repeal Of the law would cause too
great dislocation OF trade. THE Ameri.
cans the Post adds, ''are to be congrstu-
lated upon the proof afforded by this cleo
ton of the complete filing up Of the old
gulf that separated the north and south"
sACKvILLE VESTS DISMISSAL.
The Advertiser says: 1--WE can forgive
the dismissal of Sackville West If Mr..
Cleveland will reduce the tariff" This pa
per also notes the entire failure Of the pro-
hibition movement.
THE MESSAGE OF 1887.
The Dniu NelUs remarks: "Mr. Cleve-
Ia n
him the election OF 1895 but it prepared the
way for the present triumph. The plain
meaning OF this election is that the rabies
of excessive protectiol is TO be stamped out.
Even Mr.. Cleveland, however. cannot move
faster than the nation and the economic
system Of half life time cannot be extlr-
pated in a day, Tammany Hall has received
a deadly blow, but not before its time.
Many Of its leaders have nothing but differ
ence of time and place to distinguish them
from the sinister heroes of Sallust. 1t is no
small part Of Mr.. Cieveland's triumph that
| he has beaten Tammany under his feet"
TENACITY OF THE DEMOCRACY.
! The Standard says: Looking at all that
has happened since the civil war, we can
| hardly help expressing considerable surprise
OF the hold which the Democratic party has
exercised and retained over public opinion.
| Though protection is rather scotched than
killed, the McKinleyites have received a
knock-down blow, and the republican
leaders who fully supported Gov.
The English would hardly be human
if they were not both delighted aud amused
at the discontinue Of the McKinleyites,
| since they openly avowed desire to
paralyze our industry. The democratic
victory will almost necessarily entail recon-
sheraton, If not revision of the tariff. At
any rate there will be a battle royal be-
tween the two parties on this burning ques-
tion.n
THE TARIFF TO BE MODIFIED.
The Graphic says: mo pleasanter news
than that from the United States has been
received here in a long time. The result Of
the election lie the most disastrous blow
given to the cause of protection in the
memory of the present generation. With a
republican Senate the complete downfall OF
the Mckinley law is impossible. The
American tariff will be gradually modified
in liberal direction. however,
DON'T MEAN FREE TRADE.
Tho Pail Mall Gazette says it docs not
claim that the result of the contest will con-
> vert the United States to free trade revo-
luton, but that the movement in favor Of
protection will be arrested, public opinion
flowing in the other direction with the
disappearance Of Blaine and Harrison"
it adds, ''Our relations with the
United States are likely to improve
vastly. Certainly Tammany Hall is Mr..
Clevelands but he can now be independents
Of that corrupt power. Mr.. Blaines shame
full attempt to rouse the anlmosity Of Irish
Americans against Great Britain has len
fiat and will repay him nothing. There
may even be some hope for Tammany
Hail."
SIMILAR CONDITIONS IN ENGLAND.
The Globe attributes the result to the dis
satisfaction of the farmers and wage-work-
ers with protection, and says there is a GER
tain similarity in this revolt Of the
American agricultursts with the present
attitude of that class in England in
one case, protection subsidized the manu-
featuring classes at the expense of agricult-
ure: In the other free trade has almost the
same effect. Signs are not wanting that
British agricultureists think of following
