~ EN- ILEMEN,--lt appears that ms-
" ny have refused to pay for license
to use my improvements in the art Of
manufacturing -four, ard in lessening the
labor in rice mills, waiting the decision
Of the United States courts while many
others have paid freely the sums I de-
manded for my license; there can exist
no reason why some should pay and o.
theirs be exempt, There has already been
sufficient number of decisions establish.
ing the law, that each inlringer is liable
TO pay reble;hy sexual damages, which
cannot be rated at less than the value Of
the use Of my property during the in
fringement. have expended the great
est part Of q long, arduous, and indefali-
gable Iife'i study and exertions to invent
and introduce int useful operation seye-
raj 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 unjustifiable
opposition, wasting the profits of those IN
operation, which had intended to apply
to put others ia operation which had
discovered but which now lay dormant,
to my great modification and the public
injury. | come iuto the courts claiming
remuneration for my time and labor
the great expenses that have incurred
in advertising repeatedly over the URi
ted states, aud in my agents travelling
for many years to make the utility Of the
improvements known, ard 70 Instruct
millwrights TO make, and millers to use
them. The law contempIates that shall
receive ample remuneration, aud By it |
was encouraged to risk the great ex-
penses. / have repeatedly published that
the price Of my license for the remainder
Of the term should be, the full price Of
the labor aud boarding saved by the use
Of my improvements in one year only,
with lawful interest until paid but to
those who intringed my rights, and re.
fused to pay when called OIL, l would,
beginning with the year ending January
%, 1918, count the SUN saved in labor
and boarding during the last year equal
to the first price, as new sum becomi & |
due, and running on interest also; and
SO on, the ED day Of January in each
and every year thereafter new SUM
saved in labor and boarding becomes due,
and runs On interest until license be pur.
chased, demanding the interest only Ga
all these sums, leaving the principal in
the hands Of the users; which is the least
/ can receive Of them to meet the ex.
penses which they have compelled me to
incur. The above are now the only |
terms on which my agents are instructed
to grant licenses, and they are instructed
to institute suits against all inflingets
without giving them another call. i
Those who wish to purchase licenses
may apply to John Love, esq. Buedand,
