~ EN- lIEMEN,--It appears that ma.
u ny have refused to pay for license
to use my improvements in the art Of
manufacturing tlour. and in lessening the
labor III lice mills. waiting the decision
of the United States courts; while many
others have paid freely the sums l de-
maIdcd for my license; there can exist
no reason why some should pay and
theirs be exempt. There has already been
a sufficient number Of decisions establish
Ing the law, that each inlringer is liable
TO pay treble my actual damages, which
cannot be rated at less than the value 81
The use Of my property during the in.
frinscment. have expended the great
est part of long, arduous, aud indetati-
gable lite in study and exe'tions to invent
and introduce into usefal operation seye-
"a, important and highly useful improve
ments, from which great benefits are de-
rived to the users, and | could have put
in operation many more equally useful,
but was prevented by the uniustifdble
opposition, wasting the profits Of those in
operation, which had intended to apply
to put others in operation which | had
discovered; but which now lay dormant,
to my great modification and the public
injury. | come into The courts claiming
remuneration for my time aud labor
the great expenses that 1 have incurred
in advertising repeatedly over The Uai
ted States, and al my agents travelling
for many years to make the utility Of the
improvements known, aid 70 instruct
millwIights to make, and millers 70 use
them. The law contemplates that shall
receive ample remuneration, and by il |
was encouraged to risk the great ex-
penses. / have repeatedly publshed that
the price Of my license for the remainder
Of the term should be, the tuli price Of
the labor aud boarding saved by the use
Of my improvements in one year only,
with lawful interest until pad bot 10
those VINO intringed my rights, and re.
fused TO pay when called Oh, i would,
beginning with the year ending January

and boarding during the last year (equai
to the first pnce) as a new su,I becon.i &
due, and running on interest also; and
SO on, the 22d day Ct January IN each
and every year thereafter new sum

/ cur. The above are now the only
terms on which my agents are Instructed
to grant licenses, anu they are Instructed
to institute suits against all iDlingers
without giving them another call.
