MR. CHAMBERLAIN AND THE PLATE-GLASS INDUSTRY.

[To THE EDITOR OF THE "Srsore:rou."J

SIR,—Mr. Chamberlain referred at Liverpool to injury done to the plate-glass industry of this country by "dumping" from America. Without discussing the present condition of this branch of the glass trade, it may be of interest to point out that plate-glass is not imported from America. The large importation of this glass from Belgium is in no way a case of "dumping," and offers no scope for reta]iation.—I am, Sir, G. [We greatly wish that our correspondent, who speaks of what he knows, would give us an account of the true position of the glass industry.—En. Spectator.]
