      May 16 , 1888 . T > Y a majority of 35 votes to 10 the United

      - ¦ - * States Senate has passed the Chace Copyright Bill . What the House of Representatives

      may do is doubtful . Some of those who ought to know are under the impression that the

      Democrats will ' vote solid' against the measure ; whilst others , equally well qualified to

      judge ,, declare that the big majority obtained in the Senate will ultimately carry the day .

      English publishers are not affected so much by the Bill as are the ¦¦ printers * and paper aw _ u-

      makers of the country . The publishers' interests are indissolubly attached to the authors ' .

      But in the case of printers of books and manufacturers engaged in cognate industries

      the outlook in this country is certainly serious enough to j ustify the attitude of the

      deputation which waited on the 16 th inst . upon the President of the Board of Trade . A report — of

      . the proceedings is published in our present number . It is rather alarming for the printing

      trade to learn that , if copyright is required , all English books of any worth must be printed

      from type set up within the limits of the United States ; but it is still more alarming to know

      that young authors belonging to this country have to be subjected to an augmentation of

      uncertainty that must be intensified when coupled with the conviction , that any accidentally or

      fortuitously successful book has through , this negative printing clause been deprived of

      copyright in the United States .
