passage OF the Mckinley bill. To ire

1.-The passage Of the Mckinley bill is
what the manufacturers have been looking
for. and now that II has passed they have
tho confidence to 60 ahead. 1t may be
possibly year before We feel the good ef.
fec,s OF it, especially in the linen trade.
At the present time the market is com.
pistely glutted. Manufacturers have ship
ped the goods here in such quantities that
the supply will probably last for year.
In the meantime the American msnufac :.
turers will be getting ready to reap the
golden harvest OF the future. The pas
sage Of the bill will give employment to
thousands OF workmen 10 our line alone.
Take the case OF our own mills. We have .

The Lsisglaturs.

The amount OF good advice given 10 the

Of them have preached economy, reduc,

in oil directions aud general revision OF
oil The important laws passed in recen

has great deal before it. and must be up
and doing. Whether IL will succeed 10

very doubtful. The members sre nearly
