[NOTE.-As the act of Congress, entitled "An act to authorize the registration of trade-marks and protect the same," approved March 3, 1881 (U. S. Stats., Vol. 21, p. 502), gives the right of trade-mark registry to subjects of any foreign country which by law admits the like right for citizens of the United States, this Declaration is held to be an establishment of the fact that such reciprocal privilege exists, and is therefore effective from June 1, 1882, the date of its signature.]
