The house then proceeded TO the consid-
grafton OF the calendar.
The first bill was amending section 1887
r. yised'5 Statutes so rs % provide that when
an article has been patented in foreign
county previou. TO obtaining a patent in
the uited States, "a patent granted in this
c1un ~ shall not expire until seventeen
years after The date OF the issue OF the for
eign patent.
la speaking OF the bill Anderson said
that probably three. iourths OF the monop-
oies IT the country were fortified behind
the patent system OF the United STATES,
and he wished 10 have Il understood that
he was heartily in favor OF giving
10 American inventors such al
period of time as would give
him full aud generous reward for his
labor and genius. but on the other hand he
was in favor OF drawing the line between
that aud the ability given TO chrystslize
IL was a question whether the
patent system should not be looked after as
well rs the tariff sy stem. Some years ago a
patent WAS AIKEN out on instruments trans
hitting Geographic messages by the Morse
system. HIS impression was that an In
vestigation would snow the ability OF the
Western Union Telegraph company to wear
out its opponents had they rested on the
question OF the patent Of the Morse instru-
ments.
Rice thought Anderson's speech big
explosion with little powder. Hereafter
the c'mmitiee on patents would be happy
to discuss with the gentleman from Kan
sas the patent laws in connection with mo-
nopolies. Now IT, was not necessary.
Cox, Of New York, offered an amend
menJ providing t0at the bill should not
apply 10 any patent now existing or appll- |.
ca'lon now pending or have the effect OF
extending the time laws. Adopted,
