The anti-monopolist. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1874-1878, 1878-01-03

Among the other mOnOpOlleS that
deserve to be resisted by the people
is the patent law monopoly. lngenl-
Gus knaves fasten a patent on the
simplest processes Of daily life. A
fellow named Jones took out patent
for cutting green corn from the cob
and boiling it and putting it up in tin
cans; and then he applied for an
Injunction to prevent every body else,
forever.more. from cutting green corn
and canning it. But the supreme
court refused to recognize his claim.
We quote:
The supreme court, in the case OF
Sewall rs. Jones, says this is not new.
Complainant,i in his reissue, states he
pursues another plan, whereby he sep
arates and retains the nutritious and
edible parts Of the corn, boiling them
in a liquid OF their own juices. No
one.ever cut green corn from acob who
did not do exactly what this claim de-
scribes, and no one under the process
described in the patent. which re-
uuireS the corn to be removed from
the cob, could SO remove it without
breaking the kernels, and when he
/ cooked it in Il can, as the patent re-
quired, he would lind necessarily more
or less Of the juices with 1t. The pro-
cess described in the reissue IS sub
stantially that OF the original patent.
But ii we admit there Is something
new and patentable in the re-issued
patent. which is not III the original,
the patent is void, because 1t IS not
for the same invention rs the orlgi-
Enal. 1t cannot, therefore
be claimed that the re-lSSued patent
contains anything which the original
did not, and the original, says the su
preme court. is void for want Of noy
city The patents also described
the use of Il curved kniye TO remove
the corn from the cob, but this doe:
not appear to add any novelty or pat
entability to the alleged invention, fol

the so-called kings chamber, which is
1925 English inches. and its breadth
1902 inches. Now our silver coinage
corresponds to these numbers, as the
ssdollar Of the fathers weighs 1925
grs., the half dollar 1862 grs., and the
quarter dollar 1881 grs. which last is
a very important pyramid number.
On inquiring at the mint why the sill
yer dollar was made of this weight, |
was informed that it was the weight
of a coin that would readily pass cur
rent in the Eastern Asiatic-trade. 1t
is therefore a traditional coin, by
whatever name 1t may have been
known, for thousands of years.
..But not only does the silver coin
age correspond to the inch standard of
the pyramid, but our gold coinage
corresponds to the cubit measure.
The height of the pyramid in sacred
cubits is 1925. and our gold eagle,
the unit of gold coinage, weighs 1922
grs.. and the half eagle 1l6.l grs.
s:The relation of these numbers is
such that the area of square having
lO3.O3 on the side, is equal to the area
of circle having 1925 for it's diane.
ter (Phillips.) Now as there are
800 degrees in the circumference of q
circle, its diameter in terms Of Sec
onds is 1850, and its circumference
is I296OOO. Then the number 4l2.5 is
the thousardth part of the diameter
of a circle in terms of seconds, and
1866. the number Of square inches II
an English square yard is the thous
andth part of the circumference OF ;
circle in terms Of seconds. This al
once connects English with pyramid
measure, and may Indicate the origin
of both.
s'From the standard square yard al
the rest of our measures may be de
duced The old English gallon con
tains 23l cubic inches, which is a
number intermediate between the
height Of the pyramid in cubits, 1928
and the height of the kings chamber
in inches, 230.s9. The diameter of {
circle is to the side of a square Of
equal area, as to very nearly.

1T thus appears that in the weigh
of the quarter dollar and the half ca

The principle upon which this room is

their use in that condition. Let us not have

what a Tottering Fabric

is a system depleted of vitality and irregular
in its functions. 1t is only judicious and
prompt medication which can save il from a
speedy and total collapse. The tonic ana reg
ulating properties OF HOStetter's Stomach Bit
tiers particularly adapt that benign medicine
to revive physical vigor and reform those bod
lily Irregularities which are barrier TO its per-
manent restoration. BilliOusness and cOnsti-
patton are totally overcome by IL, and the
digestive activity aud thorough assimilation
which il promotes have the effect of increaS-
ing the vivifying and nourishlng qualities OF
the blood. The Bitters are also an excellent
detergent of the vital current, since they com
municate healthy stimulus to the bladder
and kidneys, which are the most important
channels for the escape of its impurities. Pure,
agreeable and OF botanic origin, thorough and
prompt, but never violent in Its action, the
reasons for the transcendent popularity of this
medicine are both cogent and appreciable.
