by its fearless and independent criticisms of party
men and measures to reflect the best rather than the
most popular opinion.

The Patent Monopoly.

The New Haven Union strongly fa-
vors the bill introduced in the House Of
Representatives, by Mr.. Sayler Of
Rhode Island, which allows any one to
manufacture and sell any patented arti-
Gle by paying 10 per cent. royalty.
The Onaon says:
" According to the United States
census, little over $4,000, 600, 900
were invested in manufactures in 1870.
There was paid for labor $775, 900, 900,
and nearly 81, 500, 900 for raw matarial.
The aggregate product was 81 ,232, ,OOO,-
900, or 1882 900, 900 clear profit, which
was forty-six and one.half per cent. on
the capital employed.
Among the articles not enhanced
in price by patent monopoly are the fol-
lowing, with the per cent. Of profit on
their manufacture

These products are as nearly free
from patent rights as any that can be
selected-though not wholly go. Now

protected BY this monopoly:

Sewing machines. .......,....... 67

What Good will 1t Do?

"What good is to come from the anti
rum crusade ?" If the woman's crusade
should fail to perform all that it's most
sanguine friends hope, in that case what
will be the residuum of benefit?
The revolution has now gone so far
that partial answer is easy. Already
it has so moulded public sentiment that
it is easier to execute the liquor laws
than before; juries grant verdicts and
judges pronounce sentence, backed by
power they have not before felt
Young men are again signing total alb.
stinence pledges with greater alacrity
than when the famous Father Mathew
rolled a great wave of temperance ;nfu-
ence over our land. It is becoming a
mean thing to drink liquor in saloon,
while the most respectable ladies are
willing to spend entire days in storm or
shine to expostulate with the liquor
dealer, and to revail upon the drinker
to abandon his cups. See how the
drinkers sneak out Of the back door, at
the approach Of the ladies', while the
dealer bars his front door against the
admission Of the women. A decent
man had better shun a place which
bars out respectable women that is the
moral, which could not be palmer, if
written in letters Of fire.
Suppose it shall be found impossible
to suppress all the liquor dealing estab-
lishments, it will nevertheless have ac-
complished this : that-both liquor SELL
ing and liquor-drinking will be far less
respectable than they are now.
But what is still more promising Of
good, the great Roman Catholic Church
is shaking itself and coming up to the
help Of the temperance cause The pa
pers report that at St. Nlichaeps church,
Jersey City, last week, great audience
of three thousand persons bowed before
the altar and took the pledge of absti~
nence from intoxicating drinks, at the
hands of bishop. AT last, after ages
Of separation, mutual jealousy, even ha-
tired and bloodshed, Professionalism and
Catholicism clasp hands in pledge of
mutual aid in holy war against NOR
tai foe to the race. 1t. is an omen of
good, ray of coming morning, a foro-
runner of a better day: which already
stands tiptoe on the misty mountain
tops. Thank God, the time is coming
and indeed now is, when the liquor
question is not one Of civil right, as be-
tween dealer and drinker; for hel pless
children and weak women are saying,
behold as. We are the sufferers who
have rights that are trampled upon.
We appeal to One who is mighty to
protect His little ones, even against the
cruel customs of men.
Gods power is in the air, and the
voice Of prayer is availing around this
Jericho. If every saloon resumes its
Santanic employment, it will yet appear
that this crusade has consolidated pub
lie opinion against liquor, and the end
is much nearer. NJ ". o. Il.

monopoly manufacture was $50, 500, 900,
which produced net profit of nearly
$38, 900; 900, or sixty-four per cent
which is at least forty-four per cent.
clear swindle. because is enough
for capital, and ten per cent,
for limited time, ought certainly to be
enough for the patent right.
"There were $50, 1000, 900 invested
in pig iron, and the profit was 1,700,-
OOO, or twenty per cent. The same
amount invested in cotton goods pro-
duced $10,000,000. or eighteen per
cent.-half Of which was the result of
the tariff monopoly. The eight years
previous to 1873 were prolific of profits
to pig iron: but 1873, and the current
year, will probably do much to bring
down the twenty per cent. profit to a
more reasonable rate.
In agricultural implements the cap
ital invested was nearly $35, 900, 900,
on which the farmers paid thirty-two
per cent. more than was just or than
should be tolerated. For every $1OO
which the farmer pays for machinery
he suffers clear swindle of S32 in con-
sequence Of the monopoly secured by
our patent laws. Under MIR Sayler's
bill he would pay profit Of, say, twen-
ty per cent, and save thirty-two per
cent.
$50, also, in sewing machines. The
poor seamstress pays s67, for whatshould
cost but S27-a clear swindle of FORTY
seven per cent.
Mr.. Beck, of Kentucky, in allud-
ing to Mr.. Sayler's bill, said that he
was in Paris last summer, and found
that American sewing machines we're
sold there at from $50 to $35, for which
$40 we're charged at the factories in
Connecticut and New York. What
does it mean ? asked Mr.. Beck. 1t
means that sewing machines which go
out of the factories at $40 to our deal.
ers can be afforded for $40, else they
could not be transported to Paris and
and sold for $40 to $35.
According to this, after allowing
ten per cent. for royalty to the proprie-
tor of the patent, there is clear swindle
at the factory of forty-eight dollars on
every seventy-dollar machine! and by
the time it has passed through the
hands Of the middlemen the swindle is
considerably more
1.-The Star we'll says that it is time
the Government had ceased this sort of
business. It is monstrous to thus leg
islate the hard earnings of the people
into the hands of the monoplists and
speculators.
Enough is enough. But with these
fellows it is like Macbeth Damned be
he who first cries hold enough Re-
ward for genius should be within the
bounds Of reason.
"The people are also swindled out of
millions every year by the agents of
humbug patents saying nothing about
patent medicines. Mr.. Sayler spoke of
some sections of the West, where notices
might be seen posted up: No patent
right meu allowed vn these prcmises.
This shows that the business has become
obnoxious and that the patent system is
regarded with contempt by the people, -

Leaving net surplus of $500, 600.
Your committees are opposed to allow
ing any one to erect toll gate at the
gateway of the commerce of the State,
to exact such tribute on their trade.
Those best able to Judge of the effects
Of this bill estimate that it will reduce
the present rate of storage about two
tifths. The rate allowed by the bill
seems to be more than ample f)r doing
the business, but should 100000 BUSH
els more storage capacity be built which
is now absolutely required to accommo-
date, it might not be too much for the
whole outlay.
The committee are Of the opinion
that this reduction in storage would
largely increase business at our CONNER
cial centers, as many shippers are now
avoiding our markets owing to the ex-
cessive storage charges.
[ am therefore instructed to report
the bill back with slight amendment,
and recommend it's passage when 50
amended. F. H. WEST.

State.
The propriety of limiting the rate of
storage is shown by the following facts
The present rate charged for storing
grain in Milwaukee, is two cents BUSH
ell for receiving, delivering and storing
not over twenty days, the rate being the
same whether stored one day or not, to
exceed twenty days. For every ten
days, or fractional part thereof, half of
one cent bushel is charged; and for
what is known as winter storage, four
cents per bushel.
The great bulk of the grain does not
remain in store over five days, and much
goes out the day it is received, so that
the average per bushel on all grain re-
ceived during the year is estimated by
those most conversant with the subject
to be from two and a half to two and
three-quarters cents per bushel. During
the years 1870, 1871 and 1872, there
was received at the five elevators in Mil
waukee, an annual average of 100000
900 bushels.
During the year 1873, there was re-
oeived 1000, 900 bushels. This, at the
lowest estimate Of two and half cents
per bushel, would pay 100000 for that
year. The secretary Of the chamber Of
The Grange advance., 1874-03-11

commerce estimates the receipts for the
last year, at from 10000, 900 to 45,o0o,-
900 bushels. The estimated value Of
all the elevator property through which
the business is done, is from 500, 900
to 100000. It's assessed value last
year was $432,65
A very liberal estimate Of the total
cost of operating the past year is as fol-
lows:
