Philadelphia North American.
Except that it gives American authors
the protection they have long needed and
sought in vain. we cannot imagine why
the Democratic House has thus far refused
70 take up and pass the International Copy
right bill, which passed the Senate several
weeks ago and has not been heard from
since. The measure ia not one that needs
any prolonged discussion. Its purpose
hardly admits OF opposition. and its terms
are simple. direct, comprehensive and well
adapted 10 attain the end in view. For the
FIRST time in the history Of the many at.
tempts at similar legislation, means have
been found TO reconcile and satisfy all the
interests concerned. Every one Is willing
that the bill should become law; that lie,
nearly every one. The British publishers
don't like 1t very we'll, we believe. They
don't like il because 1t shuts them out OF
the American market. by providing that
books by American authors to be entitled
to an American copyright under its pro
visions must be wholly printed in the
United States. The British publishers oh
ject to that, and, come to think Of it, per
haps that accounts for its continued disap
pearsnce below the surface.

Photographs Taken at Night.

The beauty Of the new magnesium cart
ridge Is that the amateur raay now take a
photograph Of himself in his own room. He
sets up the camera, adjusts the focus by
means Of an ordinary lamp, lights The fuse
and takes his place before the camera. The
picture is taken instantaneously as soon
as the mixture flashes up The chances
are that this new invention viii make the de
tective camera Of use to newspaper men at
night By the use Of the cartridge picture

only at night, but even il the night is rainy

Milford News and Advertiser.
The farmers Of Delaware are told by the
Democratic leaders that protective tariff
benefits only the manufacturing class and
that free trade would benefit the agricul
turist. II the present high tariff benefits
the manufacturer at the expense OF the
farmer, then reduction Of the tariff
would decrease the profits OF the manufac-
turer and the wages OF his workmen. The
farmers OF Delaware rely principally upon
the manufacturing OF the North and East
as purchasers OF their peaches at profitable
prices Now IL the.latter have less profits
and wages, they will buy fewer peaches
or at less price. This "a but an illustra.
ton OF the fact that whatever benefits one
class is to the financial advantage OF
others. Their interests are mutual, moi
antagonistic One reason why peaches did
not pay in 1S75-75 was because of the I'M
usal depression In manufactures then that
threw thousands out Of employment.
