LONDON, Oct. 1s, lS00.-The English
press continues au agitated discussion OF
the Mckinley law. Every day the Times
has published long, excited letters on
the subject, and to-day 1t prints a col.
umn leader on the effect Of tho measure
on the trade OF the United States and
Canada.
"The passing Of the Mckinley Tariff
act,"' says tho writer, will undoubtedly
be q severe blow to tho trade between
Canada and tho States. The thing has
been done on a system. In whatever
department Of trade there was the most
activity and most prospect OF extension
the act has been careful to interfere and
thus effect tue maximum OF mischief
with the minimum OF apparent change.
Canada loses At a stroke the best market
for her agricultural produce. Timber
she may still send, but must send 1t in
the most unfinished state.H
FREE TRADE FOR CANADA.
Speaking Of remedy, the article pro.
ceeds: IF the Canadian farmer, with
almost equal advantages Of soil, but less
ready market for bis products, wishes 10
compete on the most favorable terms
with his Minnesota and Dakota rivals he
will best do so by the help of a tariff As
different 'as possible from theirs. In |
plain words, 1t Canada is not only to |
keep her place among the trading coun.
tries Of the world, but to improve on her
former position and make the Mckinley |
act a benefit to her and not loss, her
most likely method is take example and |
from the mother country
and adopt frankly and fully policy Of |
free trade"
One OF the numerous Times cosrespon.
dents on this subject says: "rhe Nc.
h!inley bill cannot but give IN enormous |
stimulus to smuggling. Most Of the
American frontier on the north ia q
purely imaginary line, quite beyond the |
power OF any government to guard
ehectually, and the greater part OF the
Atlantic coast seems made to encourage |
illicit traffic"
TO ERECT MILLS IN AMERICA.
A significant result OF the Mckinley |
bill has just been brought about in |
Bradford. Saturdays Cunarder con.
veyed to New York Messrs. W. Reixach |
and Watson, directors in the silk plush |
firm OF Lister & Co., Mannirgham mills, !
Bradford, whose conversion into lin.
lted company, with u capital of over
100000, took place recently. Mr. |
Reixach is the head OF tha velvet de. |
partment and Dir. Watson chief OF the |
spinning branch. Their journey, which |
has been undertaken quietly, and ia moi |
known OF even in Bradford, has for it's |
object the examination OF a site in the |
United States for the construction OF |
mills. The Listers transact larger
American plush business than any other |
concern in Europe, and the Mckinley |
bill hits them so hard that the quota.
tions for their shares, which were Issued |
at premium, have dropped sharply |
The present action, therefore, of omen.
ing mills in the States has been forced |
upon this great house, which gives en-
ployment 10 over 5000 operatives and
possesses works the walls of which
measure mile in circumference,
RETALIATION IN sERvIA.
The keynote to retaliatory measures
against the Mckinley bill was struck
yesterday atthe Savoy Hotel, when. at n
dinner, some Of the company assembled
denounced the bill and brought up a
scheme which will shortly be put in op-
Grafton. The servian Government las
granted a concession to IN English syn.
dicate for the erection OF a pork curing
establishment. at which, the concession.
aires have announced, pork will be
killed and cured at Is I'd per 100 pounds
cheaper than in America; therefore the
European markets will be closed agains;
American pork. Servia has swine
enough to supply the whole Of Great
Britain with pork in every form, and
can reach the British markets at a
cheaper rate than the United States can
