New York Herald, 18th.
 Editors of the leading newspaper throughout the country have sent to the Herald their views of the effect Of the tariff bill just passed on business.
 The ideas coincide with those of men in all other professions. A steady revival of business is predicted which will bring prosperity to the country.
 The following are the expressions from Alabama: WOOL SCHEDULE OUGHT TO SET THE WHEELS OF EVERY FACTORY IN MOTION. MONTGOMERY, Aug. 10, l894.-The new tariff is not what the country had a right to expect from the present congress, but it is so much better than the Mckinley law that it would have bsen fatal mistake not to adopt it after it became evident that it was the senate bill or nothing.
 The effect upon business cannot fail to be beneficial. The wool schedule especially ought to revive that industry and set the wheels of every factory in motion.
 There has been so much of state of ex- pectancy for the last six months that the fact of the passage of a bill will have @ re. viving influence on all branches of trade.
 w, w. SCREWS, Editor Advertiser. THE COUNTRY WILL SETTLE DOWN TO BUSH NESS AND THE WHEELS OF INDUSTRY RE- voLvE.
 BIRMINGHAM, Aug. 15.-The country accepts the new tariff bill with sigh of re- lief, not iudorsing the measure as a whole, but grateful to the legislative powers for a cessation of prolonged strife, which in itself paralyZed business and threatened general disruption.
 From a political standpoint we can only view it as a partial democratic victory; from financial view it's chief success lies in the fact that tbe.work is finished.
 Localities and individuals will be more specifically affected by it's. provisions, but the country at large, which is bearing the burden of McKinleyism, brea,hes an air of relief, and IS inspired by hope.
 The democratic party means by degrees to fulfill all it's just promises to the people. Inspired by these considerations, the coun- try will now settle down to business, and the wheels of industry will again revolve. The south has no complaint to enter.
 FRANK V. EVANS,
 Editor AGE-HERALD: - GENERAL REVIVAL OF BUSINESS OF EVERY . KIND ALL OVER THE COUNTRY.
 MOBILE, Aug. 15.--Ths passage and con- sequent disposal Of the tariff bill will have more immediate effect upon the business of the country than will the provisions of the bill. The material reduction in the duties and the placing of several important arti- cles upon the free list will doubtless pro- duce in time an important increase in the lniercnange or goods between the OnlteQ States and foreign countries, and this in- terchange will improve the business condi- tious in all parts of the country; but the immediate benefit we may expect from the passage of this bill is the settlement of the vexed question as to what will be the duty rates aud to what expect shall foreign prod ucts be free.
 For more than year this question has been agitatsd, and the uncertainty as to the answer has prevented that commercial and industrial activity which would have been the natural order of things after the close onthe period of depression from other cause in 1893.
 The failure to do this work, however, has not done away with the necessity of work, but simply postponed the doing of it, 50 that now that the question is an- swered and the man ufscturers and traders know what basis they have for theIr opera tions we can expect to see revival of busi- ness in extraordinary degree.
 Many wants have been left uusupplied, many desired improvements left unt1n- ished, many needed works not undertaken and many business transactions postponed, all of which must now be attended to, and at once, so that there will be a general revival of business of all kinds all over the country-a revival which will doubtless bs stimulated into a healthy growth as the provisions of the bill come gradually into order by operation.
