SEVEN A PENNY!
Those who may have been inclined to make light of the Russian Five Ygar Plan will find our Sheffield correspondent's message disconcerting (says the "Times" of March 21). He gives figures to showthat cheap foreign cutlery is being imported in large quanti'ties, and refers categorically to the dumping of Russian razor blades at 1/9 a gross. It is unnecessary to point out the inevitable consequences of this unfair competition if it be allowed to continue, and it should be unnecessary to remind all whom it may concern that "revenue tariffs" of 13 per cent ad valorem will have no more effect in preventing the destruction of this branch of the cutlery trade than shooting peas at an ironclad.
