The Hudson from st. Louis arrived here
yesterday morning, being 10 hours late on
account Of her lsborers or deck crew which
shipped out at ST. Louis for Cairo, jumping
or quitting the boat at Commercial Point,
because they had few hundred sacks of
wheat to carry on board. They walked to
Cairo and left the boat there without any
facilities to procure labor and then had the
audacity to demand their wages when they
had damaged the boat dozen times the
amount Of their labor bill and at the same
they had shipped in good faith at St. Louis
for Cairo. Capts. Griffith and kirkpatrick,
of the Hudson, endeavored TO seek some
protection here for the outrageous conduct
of these men who demanded their pay for
work or contract not complied with, but
could not get sufficient encouragement to
dispute the unreasonable demands of these
imposters, who left the boat because they
knew they had the boat at disadvantage
1t is shame and disgace to marine laws
that such outrageous impositions can be
perpetrated upon steamboats, without source
Of redress An example should have been
made of this crew of importers and not one
cent ought to have been paid them.

The Tariff Plank.

Ch'cago lleralu: The tariff plank IN the
Democratic platform was not originally in
dorsed by every member of the committee
on resolutions except Butler, as has been
supposed. Seventeen others voted against
it, but only the Massachusetts representa-
tive thought it worth while to carry his OPP
position into the convention.
As the plank stands it is a vehement
declaration in favor Of the revision and re-
duction If the tariff, If it does not mean
that it means nothing. The use of the
phrase tariff exclusively for public purposes
Is claimed by Mr., Watterson and Governor
Morton, Of the committee as a master stroke
on their part, for its obvious meaning is a
tariff for revenue only They took other
words, but the words mean the same thing
as those employed in the unfortunate plat
form of 1880. The platform, this year,
however, is more specific than the other.
1t explains what it meant by tariff reform,
and declares plainly that no radical or
merely experimental changes are contem-
plated II recognizes the necessity OF tar
ms Tor revenue purposes, and does not at
tempt 10 deny that whenever tariff is laid
it affords somebody incidental protection.
Against TINS It makes no attack, as, indeed
an attack cannot be made successfully. 1t
does clam, however, that the present tariff
fosters monopoIes, which is fact; that it
operates 10 restrict commerce, which is an
other iact' and that, as the revenues are
greatly IN excess OF the demands OF the
Government, the taxes derived by means of
the tarili should te reduced. The platforms
Is not Tor tree trade because free trade is an
absurdity thought of at present by anybody
but prOtectiOnist robbers, who see 1t in their
dreams every time ANYBODY proposes O. re-
duchon of their subsidies. If time should
ever come when this government could get
along without money the platform adopted
last week might be a free trade platform.
As long as it is necessary to raise one OF
two hundred millions per aunum for "pub.
lie purposes this declaration will be in
favor of tariff. and while there is tariff
there must Of necessity be some protec,
tior.

Curious Facts About Sewing Ma.
chimes.

The patents on sewing machines ex-
pired in 1876. A number of new COM
panies were ready to enter the field
when the patent rights were no longer
enforced, and they did so; but they
nearly all became bankrupt. Women
that were used to the Singers, Wheeler
& Wilson's, Grover & Bakers. and
other popular machines, would have
nothing to do with cheaper and better
instruments with which they were not
familiar. Since the patents expired in
1876, nine of the new companies have
become bankrupt, and while forty new
ones exist in name, the business is
really monopolized by the old compa-
MES. According to the last census
there are one hundred and six sewing
machine establishments in the United
States with an invested capital OF
twelve million three hundred Thousand
dollars. They employ nine thousand
two hundred and thirty-eight persons,
and annually pay wages amounting to
nearly five million dollars. The sales
of sewing machines amount to fourteen
million dollars annually.-Demeresfs

CONCERNING PATENTS.
Information OF a Topic in Which Every
Person in the Country Is Interested.

Information OIL a Topic in Which Every
Person in the Country Is Interested.
The United States Patent Office, as a
rule, rarely refuses patent for any de-
vice that has hot already been patented.
Although the law provides that any de-
vice offered for patent should be new
and useful, yet there are thousands OF
articles patented that are certainly not
new, although The doubt of their useful
ness may be waived. To procure a
patent, an inventor, or one who claims
to be an inventor, files a specification
and drawing of mis- alleged invention,
which he may possibly have copied from
some old book or device long in use,
and presents these to the Examiners,
who pass upon i. A Patent Office En-
aminer is not necessarily an expert, for
he is appointed more from political
motives than from any other qualifica-
ton. and as the fees of the Office are the
most considerable object the patent is
granted as a matter of course. The
consequence is that a deluge of worth
less patents and great many fraudu-
lent ones are spread like flood over
the country, to the great Inconvenience
of the public. 1t is in this way that
thousands of articles of domestic use
and of use in agriculture are patented,
Notwithstanding that they have been in
service for scores of years. and those
persons who have been using them for
a long time are threatened with claims
for ROYALTY. or suits at law to enforce
payment if the claims are objected to.
In sach cases there is no help but to pay
the small sums demanded, although in
the aggregate these amount to millions
of dollars every year. A patent costs,
in all. about 500, and this is al the out
lay required to give al unprincipled
person the power to tax the public at
his Will. The patent system has been
no do:5t of incGlculable value, but this
irritating and injurious defect in it has
grown to such proportions that the
whole system is suffering in popular
estimation. Probably change will be
effected very soon and relief will be af-
forded. In the meantime patience
must be exercised, although it is hard to
be patient with such an evil.-NetC York
Times.
