There are numerous points connected with
this subject which deserve careful considera-
ton, but not one of which the just influence is
adverse to an international copyright. We
shall, however, touch upon only one other.
A Christian believes in the harmony Of all
interests with Justice This is not q discovery
of Mr. Carey, nor Of NJ. Comte. 1t was au-
nounced before those philosophers came upon
the stage, in the significant declaration that
"all things work together for those who love
Cod But the doctrine is ignored In the dis
cussion Of this matter Of copyright; and the
appeal Of the enemies Of the treaty now before
the Senate is exclusively to an immediate and
short-sightcd selfshness. IF the treaty be rati-
fled" they say,
In any event. the price of books Of all kinds will be
greatly increased, the general taste for reading will
be discouraged; books will become less and less ac-
cessibe to the great mass Of our people, and one
great source e that universal diffusion OF knowledge
essential to prosperity, and for which we have
become so justly renowned, will be cut of.
This is all false-assertions. premises and
conclusions. The manufacture of books will
undoubtedly be improved, but the relative
prices will be reduced. 1t is to be rcmcm-
bered that the treaty is not, and cannot be- re-
Prospective. All the existing literature Of
the world is to remain as free for publica-
tion as 1t is to-day. Libraries must still
be composed, for the most part Of old books
and new books, of unfixed regulations, must
lie as cheap, or nearly as cheap, as the &C
