THERE is in the Treasury of the United
States a credit Of two millions and
a.half in favor OF the Patent Office.
During the past year the receipts OF that
office have exceeded the expenditures by
more than half million OF dollars. There
is a growing feeling among inventors,
generally, not over well.endowed with
anything but inventive genius. that
charges for patents are greater than they
used to be. 1t appears, also, that the
Government is more liberal than 1t should
be in the granting Of patents. Among
the patents in force there are some two
thousand for horse-shoes, two hundred
for sewing machine needles, six thousand
for plows, and 80 on. 1t is not possible
that these patents do not infringe upon
one another. For registering patent
in England the fee is five pounds, but it
will be only one pound after January
LIST. In this country the least expense
for the procurement of letters patent is
forty-iive dollars, and in addition model
of the invention must be furnished,
and patent attorney must be employed
Frem time to time during the past few
years bills to remodel the Patent Office
and to make the expense of obtaining a
patent less have been presented in Con
gress, but the patent attorneys have
proved too powerful for their clients
Were the European system, by which
an invention is registered, to be adopted
the force OF clerks in the Patent Ofiic G
could be reduced materially. Under
Democratic administration undoubtedly
this will be one of the reforms that will
take place. The country does not need
one hundred and fifty thousand office
holders to look after its interests. "Many
mickles make a muckle, and the expen'
ditures of the Federal Government are
very much greater than need be, and
must be curtailed.

The growth Of frauds upon the pen.
aion bureau has increased so much Of
late that the authorities at Washington
have been forced to take some notice OF
the evil. When Republican Federal
officials decide upon step of this nature
il is because tho evil is very patent.
There are more than one thousand per-
sons doing business as pension agents IN
Washington. Many Of these gentlemen
carry their offices about with them, and
can be found only through box in the
postoflice. Many of them also are not
known at the pension bureau by the
names they make use Of in their CORE.
spondence. District Attorney Corkhill
is now engaged in investigating about
half Of these gentlemen, and II Is said
that they may be not only disbarred but
indicted. God grant that this may be
SO. These men scatter circulars broad.
east throughout the country, and these
are 80 framed that they entrap the igno-
rant readily. As Mr.. Barnum once re.
marked, the American people like to be
deceived. He added that he liked to
deceive them and so do the gentlemen
calling themselves "pension agents.
The principal advertising dodge Of the
sharpers consists in writing weekly let
ters to provincial papers in return fol
free advertisements, and in publishing
weeklies at Washington, which claim to
have many thousand subscribers. Dur
ing the past ten years many of these
agents have become very wealthy. For
this evil also we have to thank Republi-
can rule. A lax administration OF the
laws allowed these men to obtain foot
hold, and development grew out OF the
failure on the part Of Republican Con-
gress to check the growth of general ex'
travagance. The political atmosphere
of the Capital invited aud has nourished
the growth of this fraud upon the people.
