GERMAN VIEWS OF MCKINLEY.
The Newspapers Are Still Discussing His
Election and Policy.

Berlin, Nov. 10-The policy which
Mr.. Mckinley is expected to pursue
after his Inauguration as President of
the United States in regard to bimetal-
lsm and the tariff continues to be dis
cussed in the columns of the leading
newspapers. The KreuZ Zeitung
maintains that there is reason for
feeling Of satisfaction among the BIZ
netalliStS of Europe, as there are
grounds for their feeling hopeful that
the first aim of Mr.. Mckinley will be
to obtain a settlement of the monetary
question upon an international basis.
In regard to the tariff, the Zeitung
proceeds to advocate the cooperation
of.the European powers for concerted
Interpretation of the Monroe doctrine
as international law, and then goes on
to argue in favor of an international
agreement Tor common duties upon the
leading American imports. This move
ment for common European tariff
war in response to the election of Mr.
Mckinley" says the Zeitung, lis not a
new suggestion, as the same cry was
heard during the first outburst against
the Mckinley tariff. when that law
went into operation in the United
states, but the movement was seen to
10 be mpracticable.'
Pursuing the subject the paper saws:
IF it is impossible to achieve Joint
European action, Germany must pro-
coed upon independent lines, first
creating a high maximum tariff. and
then giving notice Of a cessation of
the most favored nation system as soon
as the United States government raises
its tariff The Zeitung reasons that
this would have the effect to secure
the success of negotiation for treaty
based upon the new German maximum
tariff
The Hamburger Nachrchten, a semi
official journal, says that. although it
| IS not in expectation that there will be
any ultimate benefit to the commercial
| relations between Europe and the
| United States as a result of the Presi-
Pdential election, it is convinced that
the bimetallic movement will rather re-
| vlve than subside under the admins
tration of President Mckinley.
Ihe Socialist differ greatly in their
comments upon the defeat of Bryan,
and their estimates of the result of the
election of Mckinley. Herr William
Leibknecht. the Socialist leader. in a
communication to the Vorwaerts, ar
| gues that there would have been a
CONFUSION OF trade If Bryan had been
elected, which would have worked So
rious injury to the working people
Mr.. Bryan. Herr Leibknecht saws is
not a scientific Socialist, but rather an
agitator.
Ex-Court Chaplain Stoecker. in his
Christian Socialist organ. the vou,
takes an opposite view, holding that
Bryan is a leader of social reforms
