Omission in the Copyright Law.

NEW YORK. July 1S.-Many lawyers who
have been studying the copyright law be-
leve there is serious defect in 1t, and that
literary piracy may yet be carried on to
some extent in spite of the determined efforts
to suppress it. An imrortaut omission in
the law lies in its failure to exteEd the pro-
hibition of the importation OF copyrighted
works to publications in languages other than
English. This was certainly unintentional
on the part of the trainers OF the act, for an
amendment by Senator Sherman, which
permitted the introduction of books and
other publications in languages other than
English, was not ccepted.

BRITISH FREE TRADE.
Report adopted by the Golden Club in Lon
dom

LONDON, July 1s.-The Golden Club, at a
NEE ting last night, adopted report which
declares that if it had not been suggested
by some home protectionists 1t was not
likely that any colonist would have been so
unreasonable as to propose that we should,
while admitting colonial goods free of duty,
tax similar commodities imported from for
eign countries. "While the President
of the Board of Trade and the
Government of Lord Salisbury de-
ivers unanswerable refutations of the ar
gument that it is a case for fiscal federation.
as presented by the United Trade
League, our free-trade system does not
appear to be greatly endangered. But we
must be on our guard, as these proposals
are now strongly urged by colanists as well
as by The league. Protectionism in protec-
ZIONIST countries has not attained the height
at which it stood at the time of Golden.
The interests of EMPLOYERS and landowners
are powerful, and Governments find it COM
paratiyely easy to false enormous revenues
by cOllnsion with interests which profit by
protection" The report also predicts that
compositors and kindred trad es will not
suffer on account of the Am erican copy

Those banks provided with the electric
