FREEDOM IN BISCUIT MAKING have re-
ceived the following communication
Mn. BENNETT -
notice in your paper of Saturday that the United
States Senate had passed TO third reading bill to ex-
tend Nerins patent for machine for making biscuit,
crackers &c This patent expired two years and four
months since. What safety have manufacturers in
prosecuting any kind of business il Congress egates
reckessly Are we to keep lobby members forever in
or about Congress to counterfeit the efforts Of patent
agents who are interested in pushing through such
schemes! An 0LD READER.
We learn that the patent alluded to was granted
in 1896, for twelve years, expiring in 1885, when it
was renewed for further term of two years-until
1850. The paten,ee has thus had the full benit Of
it for period Of fourteen years-one which should
be able to afford compensation to any inventor; but
it would seem attempt is now being made to re-
vive the monopoly.
Such piece of legislation would be most unjust
in its operation, and attended with great public in
convenience. The grant has legally and virtually
expired upwards Of two years ago, and several per-
sons-justly considering that the trade was fairly
opcn-bave embarked large amounts Of capital in
ito what extent may be judged from the fact
that FIVE hundred barrels Of -four are daily manu-
featured into biscuits, &C., in the city of New York,
alone.
The injustice and evil consequences of depriving
the capitalists Of their property, and the work
people of employment, by putting sudden Tux on
their operations, after such lapse of time, must
be obvious to all In speaking thus, we speak for
all patents. Give the inventor sufficient time in
his first patent, to pay him; but never renew the
monopoly, especially after lapse Of two years.

TEMPERANCE PATTY AND PcLITIcs We under
stand that the eetotal politicians Of this city are
very busy organizing, in every ward and concerting
their movements for taking the field in the fall cleo
ton, and nominating, and attempting to elect, @
ticket of their own pure, uuadulterated partisans
This movement may partially succeed in some of
the wards; but il seems to give great umbrage and
concern to some of the socialists and their organs,
who want to use the teetotallers merely as make
weight in the coming election, to help them to carry
their own projects into completion. few months
will tell how this movement will come out.

A LEAF FROM FINANCIAL HISTORY From tho
year 1882 to the spring Of 1887 the prosperity Of this
city and of the country ut large, perfect pheno
menon We remember the time very well-bsnks
were formed, buildings constructed, enterprises
begun, all sorts Of specuatons entered into both in
this city and in every town. in every part Of the
State and of the Union. Between these two periods
immense fortunes were made by the gradual rise Of
property in value and the increase in prices conse-
quent on the expansion Of the currency under the,
action of the old United States Bank and Of the
State banks. Many men made Independents for
tunes simply by the rise oproperty in value, during
those five years intervening between 1882 and 1887,
but most of them lost it in the great revusen and
break down OF tho latter year.
This is the year 1852, and the symptoms of the,
day, in commercial and banking affairs, arc
exactly alike in principle, but larger in scale, than
the times of 1882 and of other rcvulsions. Bank
buildings constructed in every part Of this city
new residences built Of the most gorgeous kind
enterprises of the widest character entered
intoal kinds Of stocks bonds, anu credits sold
in Wall street. at any and every price-and the
whole commercial fabric seems to be tending to the
same extraordinary expansion-fortune making, end
ing in revulsion, probably in 1856 or ls57-similar
Now is the time 10 make fortunes, for those who
have capital ut command; but they must beware.
and not be caught when the gate is shut down and
the explosion has taken place Banks, and curren-
cy, and credits of all kinds, increasing with
the most fearful momentum Social life is expanding
in the most expensive way, and habits Of luxury and
extravaganza spreading through every part Of
the city and country. We shall have glorious times
for few short years, to be followed by terrible
explosion, and the breaking up OF two-thirds of
the fashionable establishments of the day. The
splendid houses in Fifth and elsewhere, which
cost thirty forty, fifty thousand dollars WILL in
few years, be sold at half their original cost,
to those who are now figuring as prudent and
thrifty tailors, boot makers, ship chambers, and
ship carpenters. We have political revolution
every twenty years, and also social and financial
revolution in mucL about the same lapse of time.
This is very exciting country; democracy is an
exciting state Of existence. the whole country is
going ahead with the speed of lightning, and al
ways holds its own; but individuals are changing
and getting upset every fifteen or twenty years.
No matter! Build palaces build railroads, build,
factories, build everything, while the banks supply
currency, and capital and credit. These structures
will remain; but tho builders and the credit makers,
and the capitalists, will get all smashed together.
The next generation win enjoy the whole.

Meeting in Philadelphia against New York
Mint.

PHnADELrHA, March ga large meeting
was held tonight at the Musical Fund Hail. to
demonstrate against the proposition to establish
branch mint in New York, which was addressed
by Col. Patterson, Morton McMichael, and sew
eral of our prominent merchants. A series of
resolutions were passed setting forth that such
measure would entail useless expenditure, and
is justified by no adequate grounds of public
convenience and is unworthy of popular and
Legislative favor. They characterize the effort
as an indirect attempt to remove the mint to
New York, and denounce the chief argument OF
economy as unworthy of consideration, for in
the first place the erection ofthe California mint
will obviate the necessity for such expense, and
in the second place, the cost for transportation
to Philadelphia is 80 insignificant compared with
the construction of a mint, that it is far better
for government to assume the expense than to
establish branch mint at New York

confsrs titles Of nobility 1t appoints to all con-
siderable Offices; il collects and discusses the
enormous revenues Of the country; and il the
pervsding extent Of all these powers be con-
sidered, it might be questioned whether the
British executive has lost anything in the last
three centuries. The form in which this power
is exercised has undergone many and great
changes, but the substance has scarcely dimin-
ished. The personal Character of the sovereign
influences the course of government less than
formerly, and the manner in which princes are
educated, gives reasonable assurance that the
liberties of the country will not be assailed by
the aggressive ambition, or endangered by the
pre-eminent talents, of the monarch. But if a
young man, with the genius OF Napoleon, or
Frederick the Great, We're to ascend the British
throne we suspect it would very soon appear
that power nearly absolute could BE- exerted
without violating single Fundamental law OF

George CONWAY, at the close of his lecture
in Buffalo OH Tuesday last, called the attention
of the audience to the subject of erecting a
monument to the remains of Red Jacket
When he had closed, says the Express, Dr..
Wilson, noble specimen Of the native Amer-
can race, rose, and with tears starting from lis
eyes, his stalwart form shaking like an aspen
leaf under the contending emotions that strug-
ged in his bosom, addressed the meeting in the
following strain Of impulsive eloquence:
GEsTLEMEN AND LADIEs-I wish to detain
you moment. am one of the descendants of
Red Jacket. Ispeak for them We hive been
removed from our homes by the cunning aud
treaciery Of the pale faces. Red Jacket, though
not a prophet or u son of prophet, predicted
that the pale face would drive them from the
graves Of their fathers and his bones would
rest there. But let no pale face touch them.
He forbid, in his last moments, the face to fol-
low his remains, when his spirit should leave
them to unite with the Great Spirit. 81 let
the white man not touch them. We, the few
broken remnants Of the Senecas, will bear them
a way with US.
lie wants no monument from the hands of the
white man. He would not have it. AS he
forbid the pale faces to follow him to his rest
ing place, SO he would forbid them to desecrate
his bones with their touch Let not the white
man bestow his unthankful benevolence there
Let not the philanthropist go there. Red
Jacket wants no monument No monument
would preserve his name. His name will not
perish, though he has no monument. He lives.
He lives in these hearts OF ours, and will live
as long as one heart beats in the breast OF the
red man.
The white man has done something for him.
He has surrounded his remains with paIing.
He has placed marble slab over them Where
is it now! Piece by piece the curious visitor
has carried away, till scarcely one is left. Should
the pale face build him monument as high as
they propose to build to Washington at their
Capitol, it would crumble away as that has that
those people of Buffalo have placed over him,
and no stone would be found upon another.
No. Red Jacket forbid the pale faces to follow
him to his grave. Red Jacket would not have
Them desecrate his bones now resting there.
His predictions that the pale face emigration
would roll over these plains and sweep AWAY
his tribe is fulfilled, and |, relative of his de-.
scendants, few remain, yonder, say to Won
white man and woman, touch not bone of h m
After few days we will bear away in orr
hands from his resting place, what remains of
him. But let not white man touch him am
done.
CONWAY then stated that he was not aware of
the presence of relative or friend of Rcd
Jacket, or of the state of feeling existing among
the remnant of his tribe, or he should not have
adverted to this subject at this time, and in this
manner.

Is perfect soldier in his own conceit, the spirit
OF military enthusiasm can never fail to be ef-

that they furnish an impregnable bulwark
