TRADEMARKS, FAREWELL.

A very recent decision of the United
States Supreme Court has not only ex-
posed another legislative blundcr OF
Congress but has created a wide spread
CONSERVATION amongst business men
throughout the country. The Court holds
that all laws heretofore passed providing
for the registration and protection Of
trademarks" are unconstitutional.
The first legislation had on the subject
was in 1870. This act was revised by
that of 1873 which provided for the reg
istration and the recovery of damages in
case of infringement. In 1876 law was
passed providing that criminal proceed
ings could be taken against any
person who was guilty of
making or dealing in limitations of
private labels or trademarks, the penal
ty prescribed being fine not exceeding
$1,000 or imprisonment for term not
exceeding two years or both.
The Supreme Court holds that this law
is not authorized either by that clause of
the Constitution which provides for Sc
curing to authors and inventors "the ex-
elusive right of their respective writings
and discoveries" or by that other power
vested in Congress of regulating com.
merce between the several States or with
foreign nations.
The registration of trademarks has
been increasing rapidly from year to
year until the sum total has reached
over eight thousand, with several hun.
dred pending examination. The annual
revenue to the Patent Office was about
4O,OOO, and since the passage of the law
now declared null and void over quar-.
ter of million dollars have been paid
into the Treasury. Now it is clear tina,
all this money has been wrongfully col
lected and must be refunded. An action
for its recovery in the Court of Claims
can he sustained. A Congressional ap
preparation will be necessary to meet the
case. ~
While it is claimed by some that this
decision does not affect foreign trade

treaties with foreign Governments, it is
quite evident that their value is very
much impaired if not rendered as worth
less as domestic trademarks The effect
of this decision will be serious to many
business interests. Although at common
law and by the law of some few of the
States civil damages may be recovered
for encroaching upon the Trademarks or
sgood will" of others, the remedy is of
but little practical utility-all Of the
business represented and supposed to
have been protected by these good regis
trations is virtually thrown open to whole
sale piracy. Legislation that will ''stand
fire" upon this matter is considered of
such vital Importance to the business in
terests of the country that it is probable
an amendment to the Constitution will
be next in order.

THE SOUTH AMERICAN WAR.

1t is now nearly nine months since the
entente cordiale between the South Amer
ican States of Chill, Bolivia and Peru
was broken, and fully eight since the
Bolivian decree was issued banishing Gti-
zens of Chilli from the former State.
Early in March last several Bolivian
towns had been occupied by Chilian
troops, and the fortified city of Iquique,
where the Peruvian army was massed,
had been blockaded. Soon after this
the spirited naval engagement between
the Chilian ships Esmeralda and Cova-
donage on the one side and the Peruvian
iron-clads Huascar and Independence
on the other, was fought and the
latter lost. Since then few
transports have been captured, few
trifing towns bombarded, few naval
races that were about as interesting and
purposeless as college regatta, have come
off, and the ignominious bombardment of
Iquique by the Chilian navy performed
with no particular result until the other
day, when the Peruvian town of Pisagua
was. taken after a really spirited and
sanguinary engagement. The operations
of the land forces have been even less
consequential than those of the navy, 50
that with the exception of the capture of
Pisagua and the sinking of the Huascar
and the Independence, both rather lively
affairs, the whole thing has more re-
sembled scrimmage between two tooth
less old women in the market place who
madly tear at each others chignons and
do as much damage as they can, but sue
ceed better in raising hooting among
the rabble than in doing each other seri-
GUS injury.
The fact is that Chill, Peru and Bolivia
were each saddled with very heavy ma
tional debt when they went to war. Chill.
at the beginning Of hostilities, issued an
extraordinary loan of $6,OOO,000 for war
purposes, which the banks refused to
take, when she emitted that amount in
paper money about as this government
issued greenbacks during our war. The
Chilan Legislature not long ago author
lied further issue of treasury certificates
for $1O,OOO.OOO. Peru is in about the
same predicament and has issued her
paper money until silver, which is the
standard there, as in most of the South
American States, is at premium Of 156
per cent.
Bolivia has also issued a forced war
loan with about as happy results as Chilli
and Peru. In fact, these Governments
have been burning their candles at both
ends for no object except little spec
tacular effect, and the only effect has
been to saddle their citizens with a
burthen of debt, that before the VI was
already about as heavy as they were able
to bear, and they have gained neither
glory, territory, nor any material advan-
tages worthy the outlay by the increase.
Already the soldiers are about ready to
turn their bayonets against their own
governments that have brought on this
expensive and causeless war, and now
lack the funds to continue it, or even to
pay or subsist the troops they have put
in the field. Evidently the best thing
the three Governments can do is to de-
clare their honor satisfied, take off their
tin helmets and 60 home.

ACCORDING to statement of the Di-
rector of the Mint, $150,OO0, 900 of gold
and silver have been coined since the 1st
Of July, 1873. He also estimates that
there is now in the country $481 ,691 ,O69
in gold and silver money. As the in
crease of bank notes issued by the Ma
tional Banks amounts to some $15, 100000
within the time, 1t will be seen that the
increase in the volume of money in the
United States since the date of resump-
tion comes very close up to $500, 900.
This of course assumes that the above
mass of coin prior to the resump-
ton of specie payments by the
Government was merchandise the
same as any other precious commodity
as for example, diamonds or other
precious stones, jewelry, silks, &c., that
bring money when sold, but that which
