The always democratie New York .Sun 'las this to say of the operation of that :-ill whieh other journalH of less aacient ■üaembership in the democratie church vaü "the Infamóos McKinley bill:" There are now beginning to appear in '. hc cutlery stores many knives and othrticles on each of which is stamped the word "Germany." The McKinley biil requires this. In the custom house and at sea on the wav back to Germany are hundreds of thousands of dollars' worth of such goods which are not utamped "Germany." A large dealer in eutlery, in discussing this effect of the bill, said recently that the market had been flooded with knives and cutlery of all sorts stamped "Providence Cutlery '3ompany" or "New Bedford Cutlery Gcmpany," but nevertheless of Germán íajteke and of such inferior material that 'unen who bought them vowed they woniá never again buy an American ■tnife r tooi. Our American cutting iools are the best in the world, and jiereafter they will not suffer frotn unair competitiön. To whieh we would add that if every yard of cloth, silk, cotton goods, or velTet imported to the United States were tanaped with the place of its make two tiwngs would follow. Many a fraud ■would be avoided, for it is very doubtful if more than a fourth part of the artilles of wearing apparel now sold as imported is imported, and National pride ■would be promoted, for it would be seen luit there are few things which Europe can make better than America makes them. It is a notieeable fact, and quite no:,ieeable, that no cleaner or purer administration ever held tho reins of government at Washington than that of President Harrisou. Kven the very iunny papers have quit picturiog "little Benny with grandpa's big luit on." Ilarrison has commanded the respect of penny a line detractors even.
