AN IMPORTANT PATENT CASE.

. STRONG IOBBY OPERATING FOR THE EXTENSION
OF A. b. WILSON'S sEwING-MACHfNE PATENTS
IFRoM REGULAR CORRESPONDENT OF THE TRIBUNEJ
WASHINGTON, April 1S-A strong lobby is opera
ting here to secure the extension OF Allen d. VIII
sons patents for the feeding device OF sewing
machines and the cylindrical rest used on the heaVy
class of machines employed in manufacturing
These patents, before they expired, were owned by
combination of three of the great sewing machine
ompanles-Wheeler 81 Wilson, Grover o. Baker,
and the Singer Company. The feeding device is an
essential part of all sewng-machnes, and all persons
making them will be obliged, if the patent is re-
newed, to pay royalty to the combination 1t Is
said that an extension of the patent would be worth
many millions of dollars to the combination. There
anpears TO be no valid argument in favor of the ex-
tension the patent having already produced prncey
fortunes to its owners but great is the influence
Of the poweru companies interested in 1t that 1t is
by no means certain that they Will not succeed III
their attempt. Among the persons opposing the eA-
tension is Jacob d. FelthiDson, who has brought EVIL
dence TO show that he invented the feeding deVlce
and has been deprived Of the patent for IA years by
interferences and decisions in the Patent once,
,vronpfully procured by the wealthy companies
against whom he was powerless.
Whoever may be the rightful owner OF the patent
II is manfestly for the interest of the public that the
effort to secure us extension enDuiu oo u0i'"'
is the ownership of this and other patents
that enables the companies to exact from purchasers
nearly double the price for which machines could
he manufactured at fair profit. 1t is well-known
fact that nearly all the leading American sewing
machines can be bought in Europe OF the manufac-
turers agents at from one-haf TO two-thirds the
nrice charged in this country. One OF the plans OF
the combination should they fail to get their pat
emf extended directly by Congress, is said to be the
massage Of bill instructing the Commissioner of
Patents TO reopen the case. They think that while
members of Congress NAV hesitate TO take the re-
snonsibility of voting directly for the extension,
thew will be willing that the Commissioners OF Fat
ents shall do it, Arguments in this case have al
ready been made before the Patent Committees

and kindred interests must coalesce. OF
course, many men, now in active life, will
still retain antecedent ideas, but on both
sides new men and new influences will
spring up, intervene and at last predomi-
nate Confidence and cooperation are too
much the interest of each to be disre-
garded. In the meantime we again remind
our advisers elsewhere that the political

Intervention. The Dutch no doubt dis
liked very much to yield to the English
conquerors of New York. but they have
long since yielded to the inevitable, and
the descendants of each are content to CO.
operate in the conduct of a common gov

Southern States. The advent of this pc
Rod will be fastened by integrity on the
part Of those who administer the govern

who conduct the great industries Of the
South with the labor so congenial to the
soil and climate.
