of course, he obliged to reduce our
prices. That will shut you out, but
il will reduce our profits, which will
not be good for either of us. Let US,
therefore, make a bargain. We will
pay you SO much year to sit still
and not send n screw to America.
Well, they did it, and his firm receiv-
ed a handsome income for years from
tho American manufacturers protect
ed as they were by the folly and
stupidity of protectionist legislation,
to sit still and not send screws to
America"
There is not session Of Congress
in which some protection scheme is
not passed, ostensibly to give Ameri-
can workmen work, but really to
legally rob the consumers. In the
above case it was screws which in 1870
paid a duty of ~ per cent, increased
in 1892 to 10 per cent, and further
increased up to 1871 to an average of
20 per cent. In 1861 the duty was
made from 3 to s cents pound, ac-
cording to length. In 1872 it was
made from to II cents pound, and
now the duty varies from 6 to II
cents u pound. All of which duties
have been laid TO enable few Amer
lean screw manufacturers to make
100 per cent profit, according to their
own statement, while probably the
profit has been much higher. And
did the employees of the screw manu-.
facturers reap any benefit from the
tariff Not a bit. They were paid
the going rate of wages, or possibly a
little less, on the plea that they had
to compete with "the pauper labor OF
Europe" while all the time the Amer
lean manufacturers were bribing the
English manufacturers to keep out OF
the market. Verify, mighty is this
protection" to American labor, while
for the manufacturer, truly the tariff
is his proft.-News.

and shows how protective tariff pro-

"At that time the Americans put q
duty of 100 per cent on screws, and
in spite Of that his firm sent these

Railroad Bonus.

Some parties object to paying q
bonus towards getting the railroad to
this city this summer, though we can
not see how any one can object to the
raising of bonus. 1t is not q tax
that person is obliged to pay. 1t is
gift. A person is not obliged to help
raise the bonus unless he so desires
We believe, however, that the bonus
will be raised. 1t will be mostly con
tributed by n few persons. The bonus
will be given for various reasons
Those who have property will donate
because it will increase the value OF
their property and make it more sale
able. Others will donate because
they are public spirited citizens and
always on hand to help public enter
prises, and some will donate because
it will be both a convenience and q
personal benefit to have railroad com.
munication to this city. Many citi
zens are obliged to leave town during
the winter season and 60 to Detroit
Lansing, New York and other places
on matters of business. The railroad
extended to this city will not only
makesuch trips pleasanter but cheaper
Such people can therefore, and they
will, contribute something towards
raising the bonus. If person has to
leave Alpena city now, to go on a
business trip to Detroit, he is obliged
to get up very early in the morning,
then ride some % miles through at.
mosphere, of which the temperature
is often below zero, in order to catch
the train from Black River. The cost
of the sleigh ride is So. BY railroad
the cost would be, at most, three cents
per mile. A person would thus save
over one dollar in journeying from
Alpena to Black River, besides, what
is of far more account, escape the dis
agreeably cold ride.
The railroad company asks bonus
of $4,000 and right Of way. The
amount already subscribed is neal
$1,000. To build the road from
Black River to this city will cause
the expenditure Of at least S150,000
OF that amount we believe at least
$4,000 will be expended for labor in
grading the road, and laying ties and
rails. The most of this $4,000 will
find its way back to this city. 1t will
be expended here. That will be an.
other benefit to be derived from the
road. Draymen will get more jobs
in transporting persons and baggage
to and from the city station. 1t is be.
lieved that the road will be the cause
of starting new industries; in tend.
ing to open up the country, and it
will, we believe, be the means OF
starting new railroads into the coun.
try back of this city. Alpena city
needs railroad communication, and
her citizens can have it this year by
raising the required bonus.

The Case Against the Bell Telephone.

AS the chlet CRITICISM against tne
administration consists in declaring
that there is no ground for bringing
suit to invalidatc the Bell telephone
patent, the principal points in the
case brought against that patent are
worth rchearsing.
Bell obtained two patents-one in
March, 1876, the other in January,
1877. The first one was held to be
invalid, because it was not working
practical telephone, and the second
one because it embodies ideas and in
vcntions already established by other
inventors, including especially that
of Professor Philip Refs, Of Germany
More than twenty years ago Refs
invented an instrument which, MS the
reports Of that day showed, could
transmit musical sounds and human
speech, though not with a distinct
ness sufficient for every one to hear"
reproducing the quality Of sound as
well as its pitch. Up to the date of
this patent Bell had not transmitted
n single articulatc word or quality"
of sound through his instrument. In
his claims, made a few days prior to
his application for patent in 1876,
he did not make any claim for more
than this. And the instruments de-
scribed in his patents will not, except
under very favorable circumstances
do more than transmit few intelli-
gible words. Even this, it is believed
is due to the higher cultivation of the
ear Of the present day through the
practice of using telephones.
Since his first and useless patent, he
did indeed produce an instrument
which transmitted words, and under
his second patent has used it. But
this instrument was based, it is claim
ed, upon Refs instrument and upon
discoveries made by Edison and other
inventors.
In addition to this 10 the charge
that he fraudulently secured from
Gray's caveat ideas which he proceed
ed to embody in his patent of 1876,
aud exhibited at the Philadelphia Ex-
position a telephone substantially the
same as that described in Gray's cav
eat, but wholly unlike that described
in Bells patent. But there is not
much disposition among the oppon-
ents of the Bell patent to push this
charge Of fraudulent adoption of
Gray's caveat, because it contradicts
the charge that Bells patent of 1876
was worthless in not covering practi-
cal, working telephone.
Bell has been unable to get pat
ent in Germany on account of the
priority of Refs invention.
Every claim in the invention or
discovery described in the Bell tele-
phone was shown before Secretary
Lamar to have been used prior to
1876 by score Of different inventors;
not that any one of them invented a
telephone, but that their discoveries
and inventions of various kinds in
that direction we're used by Bell in
developing his instrument.
Such is the case against Bell, and
upon this showing the interior De-
partmont ordered the suit begun. If
it is successful it will throw open the
whole field of telephony and abolish
or prevent all monopoly.-Free Press.
