GERMAN RUBBISH.

Germans imitations of English and Amerioan cutlery and ether good are said te be flooding the markets of the United SUtes. The United Stitcs Consul at San Salvador reports that " the products of American toll, skill and Industry are supplanted m Salvador, and I suppose everywhere m Central America, by base imitations " or by worthless German goods with the brands and trademarks of the best American makers. A special Treasury agent has said, "I have observed the same thing m our own cutlery Importa tions. The hardware and cutlery stores of this country have been loaded with Germsn goods branded and aold aa Eng lish or American makes. The cutlery houses here have long objaoted to the use of Amerloan brands on German goods, and brought it to the a' tan tion of Congress. The placing of American brands on Ger man rubbish does our American manu factures an Ir jVy This fraud is peouliar to Gorimr.y, being almost unknown else- j ' wheW,"* nd the rubbish ia also peouliar to tbat ciontiy By under-valuatlons, smuggling, end tha fraudulent use of American nomec, trade -marks, labels, and brands, Germ n meals are ruining an important industry m which millions of money Is invested, and on whioh thou sands of working men and their families depend^ for their daily subsistence, and arer co'lniag thousands of dollars, while the domestio manufacturer is forced by suoh scaudalous competition to ont down wages, and is unable to make a living pre fit on his own account."

THB SITUATION.

The task which the Ministry have be fore them — that of elaborating a policy wbich shall prove acceptable to a majority of the members oi the House of Representatives — is one of extreme difficulty, considering the present con stitution of the House, and also of the Cabinet. The feeling with which they enter upon the work must bz very similar to a " shaky " undergraduate m the Senate House, when he finds him self confronted with a difficult ex amination paper, designed m his esti mation solely with the view of securing as many "plucl r s" as possible. Whether Ministers will achieve success, remains to be seen, Judging, however, from the indication they have already given of the insincerity of their professed desire for retrenchment, we look upon the probabilities as being decidedly against them.

Even supposing their proposals with regard to retrenchment " pass muster " m the House, there is another difficulty looming ahead — ths question of the ad ministration of Crown lands. A rumor was being circulated m Wellington on Monday that Captain Kussell was to be appointed Colonial Secretary vice Mr Hislop. We do not attach any great importance to rumours if not contra dicted, and this has been so treated. •' A straw thrown up shows which way the wind is blowing," however, and the rumour, taken m conjunction with Major Atkinson's declaration that he expects to raise by the sale of Crown lands, will render stronger the fear which has been expressed that he intends to raise this sum by forced sales of lands m large blocks for specula tivejpurposes. Tbe Stout-Vogel Ministry studiously conserved the people's heri tage for the purposes of bona fide set tlement," and we cannot for a moment suppose that Parliament will tolerate a reversal of that policy. The present time, no doubt, is peculiarly favorable for the acquisition of large estates, by the big Companies and land monopolists. -The position must prove an embarras sing one, for if Major Atkinson refuses to accede to the demands of his quon dam allies — the large landed proprie tors—in whose interests, and by whose influence the majority of his party were returned, they will withdraw their sup port and render his defeat an easy matter. If he accedes to their demands he will retain the support of the majority of his party, but the others, to whom such a course must be most ob jectionable, would combine with the Opposition, whose numbers thus swelled by their defection, would be able to carry all before them. Thus we see that jeven if the financial proposals of the Government be not rejected, there is this other difficulty to be overcome before the Ministry can deem them selves safe, and, of the two, we consider the land question by far the more for midable.
