PATENTS AND PROGRESS.

Marvellous Changes Wrought BY Invent
ore In Half . ContuHy.
One need not be very old to have q
distinct recollection OF his daily life,
It's conditions and environments, fifty
yea ago. whom the patent system OF
the United States was In its early in
fancy. Then the country was almost
entirely agricultural, for our grand
career in manufactures and the indus
trial arts was just beginning. It Writ
ual!y began with the patent system
tho creation OF the patent ofice--an
It has actually kept pace with the de-
velopment OF the system. so that this
magnificent progress stands as the in
disputable results Of the system. In
other words, we owe our splendid
achievements in manufactures and the
arts to the stimulus that the patent
laws have given to invention.
Fifty years ago most OF the people
OF the United States were clothed from
the products OF the domestic spinning
wheel and hand loom. The itinerant
shoemaker went from house to house,
setting up his bench and plying his
vocation in the farmers kitchens.
There wee no planing-mills; no shops
for the manufacture of doors, sashes
or blinds. All the work Of the builder,
including carpenters and joiners'
work, was done by hand. The car
penter. II good one. got one dollar q
day. Coal was consumed but by few
families even in the largo cities, and
by nobody in the smaller towns. The
tailors, like the shoemakers, came to
the house and male into clothing the
cloth woven by the mother and daugh-
tors. with little help from the fulling-
mill that was generally near the grist-
mill Of The neighborhood. The railroad
and telegraph had not yet added their
powers to the forces Of civilization.
This year. 1889, IL no more like 1889
than the hand-loom is like the cotton
factory. "Better fifty years OF Europe
than a cycle Of Cathay." Better one
yoar OF the life that is lived under the
new conditions than any number Of
years OF the hard existence that was
drudged out under the old conditions
