THE BEECHER SCANDAL.
NEW YORK, July %.
r. R. CarDenter Interviewed.


The Brooklyn Argus to-day prints
part of an interview with Frank B. Car
penter on the Beecher scandal. Car
penter said that he was first brought
actively into the case BY Beecher in May
1873. Beecher sent for Carpenter, wish
ing him to come Immediately TO Brooklyn.
Beecher had learned that Henry C..
Bowen had re-asserted to Carpenter
charges which he had formerly
made to Tilton against Beech
er, and which he had withdrawn
in the tripartite agreement, and that
Bowen had said, in the presence of Mr..
+. 5. HOlton, Of Milwaukee, and Carpen-
ter, that he didn't wish them to under
stand that he had made Il retrsction
Beecher wished Carpenter to confront
Bowen on these points. 1t WAS also said
that the tripartite covenant was TO be
made public. He went to MOultOn S
house. Beecher was not there, but Moul-
ton said he wished Carpenter to go TO
Bowen's residence with Clafin and
Moulton. They went, and Carpenter
in the presence of Bowen,
Clahin and Moulton, statements made
by Bowen to himself concerning Beecher.
Bowen admitted all, and Clatfiin expressed
his aStonishment that Bowen should have
told these things after signing the cove
nant. Claflin was the person who induced
Bowen to sign the covenant. Bowen
said he protested against making the
agreement public. Carpenter said t"
Bowen if the statements were untrue he
should make most unqualified public
denial; that if true he should stand by
them.

one hundred feet before sending out

ameter at the base. Tho wood is
very hard and contains large amount

as asource of silica in the manufac-

rage, no greater fraud has ever boon
perpetrated on Americans, than that
Of tho Sowing Machine monopoly.
The Harrisburg Patriot, in sliuding 10
this specific robbery, says:
"AcoordfpR TO the sworn roturns OF
the sales Of 6eWing machines in tho
United Ststos In 1873, made by the
various companies operating under
different patents, tho grand total 10
100000 machines. These machines
sell mt prices ranging from 800 70 $50
each. The Chicago Tribune says;
In England and on the Continent the
same machines are sold at from G5 to
fS, or from 1926 TO $40. The difference
which. the American people pay,
amounting to nearly 100 per cent on
the English prices, arc an extortion
which is successfully maintained by q
combustion of American manufactur.
crs, who still hold patents on particu.
lar improvements. AS these improve
ments have all run from fourteen to
twenty.one years, and have been i'm
mensely profitable 10 the owners,
Congress should peremptorily reject
any and every application tor an ex-
tension or renewal Of any Of them for
petty improvements upon an invention
which has yielded such immense
profits and which is of such universal
necessity as the sewing machine. The
patent Of the principle of the sewing
machine expired many years ago,
having yielded TO it's inventor several
million dollars profit. The existing
patents belong To- q few manufacturers
and arc for "Imprnvements" cnmnara-
lively petty in themselves, and upon
which tho patentees have had from
fourteen to twenty years profits. The
royalties upon the sales Of 1873 alone
equal probably 100000. They re-
fuse to allow any manufacturer TO use
the patents unless there is contract
to maintain the retail price Of the
machines at their present enormous
figures.
The machines sold in England are
mado in this country, exported, and
are sold at largo profits at the prices
we have stated. 1t has been shown
that manufacturers can produce the
sewing machine itself and sell it at
good profit for $3.50. To this
must be added the price Of the table
or case, which, being made by ma
chinery and by castings, costs com
paratively little. Adding an average
of three dollars for royalty on patents,
machine with table, such as is sold
in this country for seventy dollars,
costs less than eighteen dollars. The
other fifty-two dollars are divided
among the "agents," the manufactur-
ers and the lobby in Washington and
around the patent Office" % sa'l
