A Feasible scheme.
WASHINGTON, Nov. l8.-At the ap-
preaching session of Congress an effort
is to be made to secure the passage Of q
bill making the 365 bonds Of the Dis
trict of Columbia receivable as security
for national bank circulation. Several
members of the Finance Committee are
in favor Of the project. Several promi-
nent bankers who are supporting the
measure say that these non-taxable
bonds, having a long time to run, and
the principal and interest being secured
by the pledge of the Government, are as
desirable as Government bonds.
Pertaining TO Patents.
Secretary Teller will not, in his an
nual report, recommend reduction in
the cost of obtaining patents. He is
persuaded to this course, it is said,
from the fast that the patent laws are
now the most liberal Of any country in
the world. In England it costs $1,000 to
obtain a H-years patent, in Germany
over 5000, in Russia absut 800, and in
Canada about $40, while here it costs
but $35 for a 17-years patent. It is not
thought by Commissioner Of Patents
Marble that q reduction would materi-
ally increase the number of patents
and stimulate invention, as the small
fee now is in reach of all. He thought
the large revenue derived from this
source no urgent reason in favor of re-
ductiOn, unless it can be shown that the
fees bear heavily upon deserving in
| vent0rs.
