Sewing Machine Monopoly.

The Democratic House have done
another good act. They have resolved to
break up the Sewing Machine Monopoly
so far as not to extend the patent on the
Wheeler & Wilson four motion feed"
All of the small sewing machine compa-
MES who had been required to pay q
heavy royalty to the Sewing Machine
Combination" composed of the four
leading machines, have fought the extern
sion savagely since it was originally pre-
sented. This refusal will ultimately re-
duce the price of sewing machines yery
greatly as soon as the four-motion feed
becomes public property. The commit
tee say that the applicant has already
made two or three large fortunes out of
his invention, and that it is time now to
give the public a chance. The testimony
taken before the committee shows that
the cost OF sewing machines Is not more
than from twelve to fifteen dollars.
"hlie this Is the case the poor SEWING
women have been required to pay from
$50 to 500 for machines.
1t is hoped that the House will not
stop at this but refuse the renewal ot
patents to all sewing machines. Ever,
one of the patentees have made immens,
fortunes and it is time the poor peonlo
who use these machines were enabled :,
buy them at fair price. If their mann
facture cost from s12 to SIS they oh
to be sold for SIS and $50 by any of ou
cabinet makers who choose to buy tb
machinery, make the tables and pu
tlen together.

Orpiile Grant as a solicitor.

1t has not yet been ascertained how
many clients Orville Grant has; but
there is little doubt, that had he not
been interrupted in his career by the
discovery of Belknap's operations, his
receipts from Scholarships alone would
have equalled the $4,000 which his
brother receives as President.
It must be especially unpleasant to
ex-Judge Fisher to find that Orville
Grant could make so much out of Della
ware white oak which the Judge was
told at the Navy Department was not
needed at all, there being an immense
stock of it on hand. But then there is
a great difference between Judge Fisher
and Orville Grant. Very likely the
Judges application to the Navy Depart
ment to sell Delaware timber was the
cause Of Orville's coming to our State,
and the Secretary or some clerk in that
Department gave him the information
that Judge Fisher impaired that timber
could be bough here very cheap.
At all events Orville Grant came to
our State and was here at times for sew
eral months after purchasing the tim
ber it turns out that Messrs. Basshor &
Co., of Baltimore had him in their en-
ploy as Solicitor, and that firm according
to Orville Grants testimony, sold the
timber to the government.
Now we learn from the Baltimore
Gazette some of the prices paid ard re-
ceived for this timber. That paper says:
''It is learned that tho firm paid and
received for its knees" the rates ap-
pended in tabular form, showing quite a
handsome profit by the transaction:

PRICES RECEIVED,

The timber it will be remembered, was
inspected in Delaware by special ar
rangement through Grants agency, and
the charge has been made that the stock
was of an inferior character and had, in
fact, been rejected before it was pur-
chased to fill this contract which Mr..
Grant procured for Basshor & Co. while
employed as solicitor" for that house.
1t is charged in this connection that Mr..
Grant receiyed salary of $4,000 from
the owners Of these inferior knees"
which, with the $500 paid him by
Basshor & Co., would swell his compen-
sation to about $1,000 per annum, as was
intimated to be the actual SUM he drew
for soliciting trade for the firm named
An arith hmatical calculation shows that
on the above contract Messrs. Basshor 4
Co., realized the snug profit of nearly
800 per cent.
Now, it is mean business, as every
poor timber owner in Delaware must ad.
NIT, for the Presidents brother to come
here and screw them down to the lowest
point for their "knees'' when he knew
they were worth seven or eight times as
much. But We are not allowed to place
the actions Of Solicitor Grant" in this
unenviable light. If he only took advan.
tage of some Of the poor people of Della.
ware, he might be excused on the score
that he was shope dealer. On the
contrary it is reported on the authority
OF no less person than Judge Fisher
that timber was not need, and therefore
the inference is drawn that it was bought
solely to put large sums of money in tn,
pockets of Grant and his friends and tC
deplete the treasury and tax the people
Such astions ought to be held as swind
ling and consign man to the same pos
on which the comparatively inoffensiv,
negro thief has his back severely lasbed
And no doubt some of the indignant Re
publicans in Delaware whom Grant hal
cheated out of the profits on the timbe
agree with us in this matter.
