Untie at AH Slttlon Manufacturers Declare At mosphere Is Cleared, and Look for Eventual Repeal of Democratic Tariff. The outlook for Improving business hns been brightened by the Republican vic tories on Tuesday, In tho opinion ex pressed today by prominent manufactur ers In Philadelphia. Already tho atmosphere hns been clcnrcd nnd the outlook for new business i wns excellent. Part of the brighter out look was due to Increasing orders -caused bj the wnr nnd Europe's necessity to look to the rnltccl States for goods formerly manufactured nbroml. Fears of further buslnc leglslntlon were Mrtunlly nllnycd by tho Incrcnsed number of Republican In Congress, man ufacturers thought, nnd there was every prospect that commerce would be given new Impetus. Tho deep cut Into the Democratic majority would put nn end to business leglslntlon because the Demo cratic m.ijorlly was not large enough to pass tiny radical measures, since some of the party members could not be count ed on to back them. BKTTER AI.RDADY, SAYS JOHNSON. Albn B. Johnson, president of the Bald win Locomotive Works, wns enthusiastic In his declaration that business of all kinds would benefit by the outcome of the elections. "Tluro Is no doubt that the atmos phere Is clearer than It was beforo election," said .Mr. Johnson. "Already In these threo days there has been an Im provement. I believe that tho country nnd business In this part of the Knst will And Improvement because of the result of tho election. I have been In New York since Tuesday, nnd there I find that busi ness men are very much pleased with tho outcome. "They feel that the atmosphere Is clear er and that there will no longer be any piospect of radical leglslntlon. They feel thej ate already half way up the moun tnln nnd that they can sec Into the dls tanco more clearly now. "This vote the voto that returned Sena tor Penrose and the other Republicans to positions In the Government Is not one made up of manufacturers or college pro fessors. It wns the vote of all the people. It used to bp their custom to sit back and watch elections without giving them much heed; they felt that, howovor It went, their positions would not be nf ferted. "But this year It has been tho vote of all the people. They have felt the re sults of tho present Administration for the Inst eight months. They hnvc been hit themselves this time. They havo not believed thnt tho largo manufacturers were the only ones nffoctod. It wns their vote thnt caused the Republican victory." Mr. Johnson wns nsked whether he thought tho Impending revival of busi ness resulting from the Republican sweep was so near that the Baldwin Works would re-employ men who had been laid off during tho pact year. "It Is a little early to discuss that question," ho replied. "I forsce, how over, a decided Improvement In business conditions." NATHAN FOL.WELIVS VIEWS. Nathan T. Folwell, of Folwell & Bro was certain business would Immediately feel the result of tho election Tuesday. "There will be a revival very soon," he said. "It Is becauso the Republican victory has engendered a better feeling. We can look for a Republican Congress before many more elections nnd that prospect will havo a good effect upon business. Wo can look for a repeal of the Democratic tariff." Mr. Folwell believed the election of Senator Penrose was part of the In fluence which would old business. "Senator Penroso made his fight on the issue of protection," said Mr. Folwell, "and the support he wns given shows that it Is a popular one. The effect of his election nnd thnt of other Repub licans will be Immediate. Business can go ahead now without the fear of any further legislation adverse to It. The effect of the Democratic tntiff has been largely vitiated by the war; if It had not been the country would have been flooded with foreign-made goods." REMOVES CAUSE OF DEPRESSION. Walter Clothier, secretary of the Ket terllnus Lithographic Manufacturing Company, said he believed the Republi can victory and the return of Senator Penrose would go far toward removing the causes ot business depression. "Business certainly needed something," said Mr. Clothier, "and I believe that the o'utcome of the election will Improve conditions generally. I am a Penrose man because I believe In protection, and I think his return to the Senate will bo one of the factors In Improving business." Wallace D. Simmons, of the Simmons Hardware Company, was unwilling to say what effect he thought the outcome of the election would have upon business. He believed In regarding tho situation with a nation-wide view, and did not ap pear to feel that the present Administra tion had been as detrimental to business ns some of the other manufacturers be lieved It had been. "I never take sides In partisan politics," Mr. Simmons said. 4000 Bales of Cotton Burned MOULTRIE. Qa.. Nov. C Fire de- Lstroytd the warehouse of J. W.
