Mr.. Schieren and his daughter did not reach
their home. No 4o5 Clinton-ave.. until late last
night In discussing his trip and the political
situation Mr. Scheren said:
People in Europe in favor of the election Of
Mckinley. | made a tour OF Germany for the pur-
pose of studying the manufacturing industries Of
that country. and was surprised to find that Ger
many is enjoying great prosperity. All of her
factories are running. and. indeed, working
overtime, but still cannot keep up with their or
ders Germany now has an active and strong
competition with England in manufacturing"
How do you account for this prosperity In Ger
many?' Mr.. Schieren asked.
Il think 1t is due to the fact that tho Govern
ment pursues wise policy toward the manufact-
uring industries of the country. and offers induce
men;s 10 capitalists TO invest In manufacturing.
while in Europe I saw American newspapers
frequently. and kept myself we'll informed TO

vinced that the election Of Bryan would be runous

were learned they at once condemned the party
that nominated him. When / returned to England

facturers who would be benefited by the manen-
ance OF the present tariff, and who feared that Nc
Kinley would destroy that tariff. desire his cleo
top because Of the monetary views which he
holds. They look on his election as n foreSone
conclusion. The people Of Europe marvel that it
is possible IN America for a man 10 obtain nomi-
nation for the Presidency from a great party by

I'VE would have stayed In Europe month
