sICNs nr THE TIMFN.

one W the greatest demonstrations u
workingmen ever made "a this coa try was
that Of the German Uni rs Of New York, on
tre occasion Of their grand festival and pic
uic on Lto z I'll and Sth ius.s.
Tlg musical festival, held al tho Gormania
Assembly Rooms, on the evening Of the 9Th.
was B grand affair The entertainment con-
sisted ~ vocal ana instrumental music,
speech making, rotations, 6s. The large
hall was beautifully decorated, and com
pIetey packed with strong, earnest men,
and beautiful women. About tn O'Clock
the meeting 10 toe large haH was adjourned,
and All who desired assembled in the refresh
ment room, where ample arraHg yments had
been made for an who wanted to partake.
Llger beer and other good things were dis
posed with q lberality to Be met with only
am0ng such an assembage as was there
present This reunion was conducted IN
true German style, ami present cd a scene Of
good lm0r ana true brothcr.y and sisteriy
feeling but seldom met.
At an early hour on the morning Of the
8lh, the streets leading to the BJwerY, in
the vicinity ~ the Assembly Rooms were
literally picked with men, women and chill
dre6. The procession was an imposing
affair, and must have lent a new thrill Of
pleasure and satisfaction " the heart Of
every true lover Of our cause present It
rained in the morning, and very heavy
showe Of rain ard bail came up about noon,
t1F. Notwithstanding this, lhe crowd at the
picnic grounI can only De expressed by the
word immense. Not less than 10000 people
we're present Notwithstan ling this large
assembage Of human beings, the arrange
ments we're so complete that the most per-
feet order prevailed il every part q the
grounds. Speeches were made BY Mr.
Phelps, Of New Haven, Nj. Tucker, Mr.
Drury, Mr. SyiVis and others.
The whole affair was grand success, and
viii DO much towards Strengthening the
labor movement in that city. There we're
some things connected with the demon stra-
ton to which We will refer il future

" Just now it seems 70 me that the coming
question is the mysteries of organized gigantic
capital as offered 70 the unprotected indiyid-
ual, che laborer IN the community. We have
more 60 fear from the cOrruptious Of legisla-

Philadelphia Ahead.

A few weeks since We published a letter
from Mr.. Robert Lowery, Of Salem, Ohio,
suggesting the propriety of changing the
me cling place Of the next session of the
National Labor Congress from Pittsburgh to
Philadelphia. From correspondence re-
ceiYed from Missouri, Massachusetts, Ten
aessee, Pennsylvania, New York and Mary
that the proposed change should be made.
We are not informed as to the intentions Of
the President Of the Labor Union but We
believe be would be perfectly justified IN
calling the convention in Philadelphia

nothing short Of GAbriers trump will

THE PATENT LAWS AND MONO
POLY.

POLY.
Monopoly and slavery, either IN name and
in fact, or in fact only, are necessarily CO.
existent. The latter is. the legitimate off,
spring Of the former. Anything, therefore,
that assists tho formation OF monopohes Of
any kind, merits our opposition. 1t has
long been obvious that our patent laws-or
at least an unwise or Illegtimate application
Of them, has instituted and nursed into dan
gerous proportion many monopolies in the
manufacture and sale Of useful articles, which
are subversiye Of the general interest. The
English are turning their attention to this
subject with a view to the abolition Of their
/ patent laws, or at least 5 uch a modification
u them a., from an intelligent and exhaus-
tive discussion Of their workings, ma be
I deemed nationally expedient. Sir Rounded
Palmer one Of the leaders in the movement,
argued recently before ,-e House 81 Com
mons
That patents for mertorioas inventions
were seldom granted % the right person. seee
the growth 0i knowledge was SO gradual that
many persons were on the track at the same
time, and the man who obtained the patent
only woE the race by neck. Moreover, %
wofs ana defend patent requires capital and
poor men VINO make important inventions are
forced % part UitA them at a small price TO
capitalists, Who build up enormous fortunes
from the appropriations Of other mems labors.
CHmertori1us patents, On tile other hand, are
mere obstacles to impr0 emcut'
These remarks are fill Of truth, and quite
as appropriate in this country as ia Eng
land. X is notorious that about nine-te nths
81 al the articles patented are comparatively
worthless Those who have never taken the
trouble to inquire, viii IA doubt be surprised
To know that a simple record Of the articles
patented each week With the names Of the
inventors, fills several pages of large sci
entifc weekly paper published in New York.
The simplest addition I'd a piece 81 maehin-
cry is considered sufficient TO warrant the
issuing Of a nes patent. There are some
articles upon which there are dozens u diff
feren. patents and users 0f such articles
are confused by the number presented to
.t-m, each claiming q be superior 70 all
competitors.
P.teu IRE issued upon similar articles
without any essential difference either 10
thelr construction or working being already
under patent, TIE solicitation Of agents,
who charge tile pateutec ezhorbitaat fees
