The London Spectator discusses thu

country more intelligently than ii
usual with the English ne wspapers ir

1t thus intelligently discusses the pro
bable effects of McKinleyism:
''The Americans are expecting .
grand rush of prosperity, or as they
phrase it, boom in bnsiness. as re
suit of tie election, and their feeling
is reflected over here; but they are, we
think, a little over sanguine. But ex
cept a restoration of confidence, what
has occurred that should create pros
perity The difficulties OF the treasu
ry remain what they were. The huge
load of silver in the Washington vaults
will still be unstable. Tie laws will
still make-the Finance Minister of the
Union guard ian of the gold reserve,
and therefore the mark at whom every
one who wants gold in quantities must
aim his bow. The ey1 influence OF
protection will still press upon every.
body who buys anything except corn,
and will still enable every 'combina-
ton and ring to secure monopolies OF
necessary articles, to fix prices at their
own discretion, and to ruin all com
petitors who refuse to yield. Mr.. Nc
Kinley himself wishes to push protec-
tion further, and having been sup
ported by the capitalists, his advisers
will neither attack the trusts nor ven
ture to modify the national bank eys-
tenn. The railway kings will suck up
much of the advance in corn, and the
great millionaires, secure from popular
enmity for five years. will devise new
and successful schemes for taking the
cream off every industrious mans
milk. The shadow of Spanish war
will be, if anything, deepened, and
there will be an increase in all national
expenditure; first, because the repub-
licans are pledged TO the lip to the
,nine hundred thousand pensioners
and secondly, because when one wants
to raise tariffs and over-full treasury
is party nuisance. Great, no doubt,
is the power of credit. which has been
partially restored; but after all, you
cannot get more hay than there is
grass in the field, and where, apart
from the great danger avefted, is the
irrigating power in this election? 1t
will hardly be found in Mr.. Mckinley g
wisdom. The people OF the United
States have twice elected a grand man,
Washington and Lincoln, and once a
man of great though destructive abili-
ty, Jefferson; but like Switzerland and
like France, their usual elective chiefs
have been men with average brains.
average character, and deficient ofigi
nality. Mr.. Mckinley is certainly, by
the testimony of his admirers. no ex-
ception to the rule, and though there
are strong men behind the throne, the
wire-puller who can construct has yet
to be discovered.
