SENATOR CAMERON, who is always
found advocating the interests of the work
ing classes, in a recent debate called atten-
ton to the .jobbery on the part of persons
interested in patent rights: Look" be
said, ''as it regards sewing machines.
Here is machine in which the poor peo-
pie all over the country are interested, that
does not cost, in its most expensive form,
mcce than fifteen dollars, and yet it is sold
ior seventy-five or eighty dollars. Every
year comes in some inyentor-as he calls
iiimself-puts in some little addition to the
original patent, and gets seven years more;
and, at the end Of this seven years, seven
years more. Our patent rights are intend
ed 70 terminate at short period, so that
the public should be benefited by them. l
tbink the sewing machine business is one
Of the most glaring systems of wrong in the
country" The argument in favor of ex-
tension is, that the inventors have not
made their legitimate profits out Of their
invention. whereas, it appears that, in
most cases, the inventor parts with his
title to acme speculating corporation Iona
before the term fixed by law has expired.
An invention that does not pay well in
fourteen years for all the labor expended
upon it, is not worth extending. and we
hope the effort 10 extend the term Of these
great sewing machine monopolies viii fail
OF success.

the enormous charges on goods sent to dis

off those people from any but a local mar

prised at hearing the objection seriously
made by disinterested parties that they did
not see the use Of government being made

the system would speedily be repealed
there can be no reason why it should not
do the people SO eminent service, that

HOMES FOR POOR PEOPLE.
New York, down town, is full of great,
tall buildings, the upper stories of which
are scarcely used at all. Some benevolent
people are urging upon the proprietOrs
thereof to convert the upper floors into
dwellings for the poor and il ought to be
done. II is terrible hardship for a poor
man to travel four miles, night and morn
ing, to his work, to say nothing of the hole
the fare makes IN his wages. 1t gets him
out of his bed in the morning an hour and
a half earlier than is necessary, and keeps
him out of it the same time at night. But
think, you who have nice homes, of ali I'M
provement in mans condition that means
going up 10 the top OF six-story building
to live PIETRO.

2S5 of the 677 furnaces of the country
we're out of blast and on the 10th Of the

total number offnrnaces were idle. There
are large stocks of iron on hand, and the
railroad demand, which was very great up
70 the time 0ftlle panic, is now exceedingly
small. Il is estimated that of the

NEW YORK, Feb. 16, 1879.
BEECHER- R-TlLTON,

suppose l shall have to write these
words about forty times more, the exas-
peratins fact being that this everlasting
trial will continue at the rate it is progress
ing about forty weeks.
TiltOn is now on the stand, and for Il
week has been examined, re cXmined,
crOss-examined, and examined in every
other way that lawyers know Of. and yet
nothing has come of it, ali that the people
did not know before. AL that has been
brought out the people were made aware
of year ago in the Statements" made by
the parties connected with this wre.ched
business. This week the proceedings have
been nothing more nor less than series of
duels between Tilton and his opposing
lawyers, in which neither have shown to
advantage. Tillon's answers to questions
have been either the smallest of small wit,
foreign TO the subject in hand. and Evarts
seemed to be inspired with 4 crazy desire
to rival him in repartee. There is nUlh ng
new in the trial and will not be till Beecher
gets on the stand. Then something may
be expected.
BY the way, why isn't Henry &. Bowen,
He knows more about this business than
any living man, for he has not only been
the confidant of both, but he has been the
confidant of everybody who knew anything
connected with the two principals. Every
body who ever had anything to say against
either came to Bowen with il first. POssI-
want him on the stand. Possibly he could
tell more than either Of them would want
made public.
THE ARCTIC SEASON.
The weather has been colder here than
has been known for years. The River be-
tween the foot of Courtlandt street and
Jersey City has been filed with ice for the
first time in thirty years, and ice bridges
across the East River are almost of daily
occurrence. Ferries are in continual
state of stoppage. and the oaths and cusses
one hears from the pinched and half-frozen
people, who wait of hours fnr boat to get
to Brooklyn or Jersey City, are friShttul
to hear. The experience this winter will
do more toward hurry the great bridge to
completion than all the newspapers could
do in q century.
