THE AUTHORS, COPYRIGHT BILL

1t is sincerely to be hoped that the
House will not delay long in the passage
of the Chace- Breckenridge copyright
bill. An instance of the frauds which
this measure will prevent has just come
to our notice. Max 0'Rell is French
newspaper man who earns his living by
literary work. He recently went to the
expense of making trip to this country
to obtain impressions from which to
write book, and this has just been pub
lished under the title, "Johnsthan and
His Continent" The book is bright,
witty and full of cleverly said things
about Americans and their institutions,
and will have large sale here. Now,
by any course of honest reasoning o. Rel,
being the author and owner of the work,
ought at least TO have the right of
saying who shall publish his book in this
country, to say nothing of his right in
the profits. He appointed publishing
house in New York to print his "John-
athan," and it appeared last week, and
already there are on the market cheaply
printed and bound copies of the book
offered by several different publishers a!
twenty-five cents. Not only that, but
we have just received from firm deal
ing in stereotyped reading matter plates
an offer to supply us the plates Of O'Rell's
book to print in our newspaper for the
paltry sum of nine dollars. Now, if all
this is not clear steal we have never
heard of one. This needy Frenchmar
(he probably is needy if he is like Amer
lean newspaper men) gets not one cent
from the sale of his book in this country
unless Cassell & Co. may have sold 9
few before the cheap editions appeared
There is no good excuse for longer de-
laying the passage of an international
bill to protect the rights of authors in
their right to the product of their brains
Good books are cheap enough in legit
innate form for all necessities of the
American people. The bill now before
the House has already passed the Sen
ate. 1t is compromise measure, the
outcome of years of labor. Whatever it,
defects this bill will put stop to the
habit of piracy. 1t will free American
authors from the competition with stoler
goods. 1t will enable American writer
to support themselves by their pens. L
will make American books cheaper by
opening to them the broad home marke
now supplied with inferior foreign work
1t will give American books a chance t.
reach the American people who nov
read many worthless books by foreigl
authors, reprinted in rival editions sole
ly because they can be had for nothing
1t will result in securing to American
authors important and growing foreigl
markets. 1t will take from our countr
the stigma of being the only great natiol
in the world which despoIls the foreigl
author. 1t is heartily advocated by tn
authors, the leading publishers, and tn
printers. Every self-respecting con
gresham should see that it passes.
