Real Protection to Original American Inventions.
The remarks in the Senate yesterday indicate that the
members heartily tired OF the importantly with which
they have been beset al all times and places account
of the bill for the revision OF the patent laws, before
that body. It's indeed, matter OF regret that little
should be done in Washington without this importantly
even when bills in themselves necessary and just are
before Congress For several years portion OF cit
izens-inventors and those holding rights under them

been caled-the great majority OF members acknowledg

effected. 1t is the that many of the most i'm
de red valueless from importaons OF the same articles
from the adjoining British provinces, made upon prahng
machines 1t especially found, when the validity OF the
patent has been adudcaed in the several courts OF the Uni
ted States, both law and equity, and those who have
BEEN employed in prating upon il have been cast at
heavy expense TO the paenee owners, that they can
transport their infringing machine into the adjoining
prov nces throw their manufactured products into our
markets, and still defy the Inventor and owners thereof
and present patent laws furnish remedy for this
refugee piracy One OF the most successful machines
al the present time is that for turning and cutting

sroyed by depreda,ors in adjoining provinces This

assgnees The copyright law prohibits the introduction
OF all maps charts and books Of like character and also
gives fine for such offences Why, then should useful
and worthy inventions be denied SINH protection
The bill to give efficient relief in such cases is now
before the Senate. There is not member OF the body,
