Democrats, Populists and Independ-
and Republicans but A..
NEW TARIFF LAW POSSIBLE
ONLY IF 1T Is SUPPORTED BY WEST
ERN SILVER SENATOR'S.
Combination of SOund-MOney Mem
bers q Observation-Disclosures to BE
Filled by President Mckinley.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.-The next Sem
ate, il is believed, will stand: Republicans.
Al: Democrats, 3S; Populists and independ-
ents. Is. This takes all States out of the
doubtful column. placing Kentucky and
North Carolina in the Republican column,
as Senator Butler said to-day that a free
silver Republican probably would be re-
turned by the fusioniStS; Delaware in the
Democratic column and Kansas and South
Dakota in the independent and Populist
column. This will prevent the Republic
ans from taking control Of the Senate, un-
less some of those who bolted the Repub-
lican platform at st. Louis should return.
1t is difficult to estimate the exact stand
ing of the next Senate on the money ques-
ton. owing 20 the new alignment of par
ties in the recent campaign. Men who
nave been pronounced silver men have
been supporting the Republican platform
and candidates, and pronounced gold men
have supported the Democratic platform
and candidates. Perkins of California,
Wolcott of Colorado, Shoup of Idaho.
Carter of Montana, Mitchell of Oregon.
Wilson of Washington, and Clark and
Warren of Wyoming have all voted for
and supported silver legislation, and what
course they will now take in the Senate
is altogether problematical. Among the
Democrats, German of Maryland, Smith
of New Jersey, Murphy of New York.
Faulkner Of West Virginia, and Mitchell
Of Wisconsin, all nave voted against silver
and yet supported the Democratic party in
this campaign. AS 10 free coinage bill
possibly could pass the House this fact
would influence voting in the Senate on
the silver question and especially in the
shape OF a rider to a tariff bill. The prob
ability is that on a free-coinage amend
ment to a tariff bill all of the forty-four
Republicans would vote against II and pos
Sibly some Democrats, such as Gallery, OF
louisiana. Gray. OF Deia ware, and Lindsay,
of Kentucky, who bolted the Chicago plat
form. and perhaps even some of those who
supported Bryan during the campaign. 1t
also is not unlikely that some OF the Re-
publican Senators who bolted the Republic
an platform might take q position which
would permit a tariff bill in which their
constituents are largely Interested, because
OF wool, lumber and lead ores, to become
a law.
Senator Faulkner, Of West Virginia, said
to-day that the silver men, by standing
Solidly with the Democrats, could prevent
tariff legislation. Senator Butler, on the
other hand, said that he and others of the
Populists would support the right kind Of
a JarIn bill. out not a measure like the
Mckinley bill. Mr.. Butler wants adequate
protection on raw materials.

The demand for the material used In the
cutlery and plating trades is also unusually

ton of Mr.. Mckinley is already being felt.
Reports received from Birmingham are
that a strong tone and more disposition 10
do business prevails In all departments
there. Unmarked iron is from = crown to
5 shillings higher than last week. and pig
iron has improved from Cd to 10 shii-
lings. The steel trade has not been ar
fected yet, a itht gh there is good demand,
owing 10 the excessive production.
The wool industry has experienced a de-
cided impetus and better sipirts are mani
fest all around among those engaged In
that industry. An upward movement In
prices is recorded at Bradford. where prices
for all classes OF woods hardened on the
improved inquiry. The yarn spinners nave
already protected themselves against dear
er raw material by raising their prices In
some cases / penny per pound. Inc makers
of coatings and Innings for the American
market are confidently preparing for a
big business. -.
In Nottingham great hopes are placed
upon a revive of the American inquiry FOR
lace. The hosiery trade, which mas larGely

McKinley's majority has re-estabished

market at Dundee since Wednesday, prices,
especially for fine jutes. rising quickly and
showing n marked Improvement.
The South Wales iron market has already
shown a noticeable advance. Pig iron war

signs of renewed activity at the iron and

The copper market has shown a better
tone since the election, and IL is expected
that the result will make further inroadS
on the already small stocks held in Europe.
Many transactions recently entered into
were open TO cancelingS in the event or
Mr.. Bryan's success. Prices are now rising
and the stocks in the railway warehouses
at Birmingham. which a few months ago
were 5000 tons, are now almost depleted.
while little American copper is being OF
fered, owing TO the demand for home con-
sumption in the United States.

CINCINNATI. Nov. Con the sugges-
ton of the advisory committee OF the Ma
tional League, President d. D.. Woodman-
see has issued the following address 10 the
members of the Republican clubs Of the
United States:
1.-The splendid victory of Tuesday. in
which you took a conspicuous part, is a
heritage 10 every citizen who believes in
good government. l congratulate you on
the outcome of this memorable political
contest. Many OF you have labored to
bring about this result with q zeal that
has known no weariness. The effect OF
State where the fight has been %fiercest. On
behalf Of our organization | extend to you
grateful acknow ~iedgements.
THE past OF the league is history. We
are now concerned about its future. 1t Is
the ambition OF those who are most inter-
good may be enlarged and that its position
in State and national politics may be ele-
waited and maintained. The election to the
who was ever a friend of the league. and
one who appreciates its value. will fill our
hearts with renewed hope and courage.
The debts of the league, that have SO long
been a menace to its usefulness. have been
paid. With Il clean record, let US at once
begin the campaign OF 1898. The Republic
an party faces responsibilities to-day that
will seriously affect the American people,
The hard campaign which has just ended
was made doubly hard by the silent forces
that had been at work for years to under
mine our financial pc icy. Let us use the
league between campaigns as a counteract-
ing influence favorable to our common
cause. Make all Mckinley clubs perma-
nent clubs, or consolidate those tina are
In your locality. Join your State league
without delay. During the winter months
have regular meetings to study and dis
cuss political questions. Scatter literature
as freely as has been done for years by
the BimetaIiic League, SO that when the
actual battle of another campaign is upon
us our people will already have been ed
ucated. and our victory then will become
an easy one. Again congratulating you, I
bespeak your earnest and cordial support
FOR the success of the League of Repub-
lean Clubs"
