WHY They Would Tax Patents

WASHINGTON CITY, June Sin reporting
favorably the bill to tax patents the house
patent committee says that if, at the end
of five years after the grant of a patent, it
is of such little value to the owner that he
does not care to pay a tax of 80 thereon,
the patent shall expire; and that if, at the
end of ten years, the patent is of such lit
tie value as not to warrant a tax Of S25 it
shall then expire. The purpose is to weed
out undeveloped and useless patert It's to the
end that they shall not block the way OF
subsequent inventions.

WASHINGTON CITY, June 3.-Morrill of
Vermont gave the senate his view of the
silver question yesterday. He said he had
been in favor of doubling the amount of
silver bullion purchased and, in fact, de-
sirous of doing almost anything in that
direction, except abandoning absolutely
and forever the bi-metallic standard of
money. But the followers of the new sill
yer gospel were not easily satisfied. They
demanded the coinage of all the silver at
the expense of the government. They also
WAITED the treasury notes or certificates to
be made legal tender for all debts, public
and private. Then they wanted Che treas
ury reserve to be cut down to ten millions,
and the hundred millions of gold now held
for the redemption of legal tender notes to
be reduced to fifty millions.
The Last Straw for MorriIl.
Finally, rather than anything else, they
wanted free coinage for all the American
silver, and for all that might be brought
into the United States from Mexico or any
other country. The cost of coming silver
(about 9 per cent? was TO be borne by the
government, and the depositors of silver
bullion were to receive all the difference in
value between bullion and standard dol
lars.
The Real Creditor Class"
That was the feast to which the senate
was invited by the distinguished senators
from Colorado and Nevada TELLER and
jones'. The wage earners of the United
States were to be counted by millions and
were the most numerous creditor class oil

in amount 1t was that class that it was
now proposed to pay off in cheaper or il
deprecated standard money and to re
quire to pay higher prices for anything
they had to buy. Could there be any
thing, he asked, more likely, in all part:
of the country, at an early day, to pro
woke strikes for higher wages? MorriI
