Give Inventors a Chgnce.

The report upon the bill of Congressman
Simonds of Connecticut, amending the pat
emit laws, which has just been made, con-
. tains statement of the reasons for the
changes proposed in existing laws and of
their effect. In the main the changes pro-
posed and the reasons therefor are
good, but just why Mr.. ST.
monds proposes to put tax
on inventive genius, and check what should
be encouraged, VIZ, invention, is not clear.
Section 10 of the bill provides that, within
five years from the date of the issue of a
patent some person interested in it shall
pay a tax of $40 upon it, or it
shall expire at the end of that
period, and within ten years
after the date of issue some interested per-
son must pay a tax of $25. or the patent
shall be cancelled. Two similar bills before
congress some years ago provided for like
impost on the creators of conveniences,
which, it was argued, was unjust, and the
argument had its effect, for the bills failed
to pass.
The proposed levy is in the form of de-
ferred payments. and some person inter-
ested in the patent must pay the tax,
(which" as correspondent in communi
cation to a northern paper puts it. Twill
fall due at time when the franchise will
have become distributed among more or
less numerous holders. not personally known
to one another, and who will be under no
legal obligation to recoup one OF their num-
Der who shall have the vigilance and gener-
osity to pay the mulct out of his own
| pocket"
The writer also makes the very pertinent
| point that the patent office is not only self
supporting, but, according to the report of
the commissioner of patents. is paying
annually into the public treasury amounts
which now aggregate S.. 100000 in excess of
| its expenditures. This statement is
correct, and gives an idea of the
extensive strides in patented inventions
| Taxation of articles of luxury may be proper
but 70 put tax on genius is going too far.
Gives the inventive ''cranks" chance, for
after all the fame and prosperity of the
United States is largely due to their crea-
tions.

Son Russelrs Helena paper has evidently
had a straight tip" from Washington, and
has been inhmating something about veto
of the silver bill, which has provoked the
editor of the Butte Inter Mountain to get
up lin open meetin' and talk right out, p"
and this is the warning he sends to the
tottering Harrison dynasty: 1.-THE repub-
licans of this country propose to have free
coinage, and they propose to have Presi-
dent who will assist them to get it. They
will brook no opposition from an executive
who considers his knowledge of the financial
needs of the country greater than the COM
bined wisdom of a congress elected by the
people largely upon the silver issue aud in
consequence of democratic opposition to the
white metal"
The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1890-06-17

In the struggle over the tariff and the
discussion Of the silver bill the country
must not lose sight of the gigantic pension
grab, which is fit companion piece of out
rageous legislation to McKinley's abomina-
ton tax scheme, the true effect of which
the republicans are trying to hide from the
people by sandwiching it in by degrees be-
tween these other measures, and some
morning the country will wake up to realize
how completely the beautiful vision of fat
surplus has been swept away by the
pension grabbers. On June 80, when
the present fiscal year ends, the
government viii have paid out in pensions
for twelve months the sum of 500, 357, 600,
nearly $40, 200 more than the huge
standing army of Germany cost for the
same time, s22, 00O. 900 more than the gov
eminent paid for pensions last year, and
nearly $50, 200. 900 more than was paid the
year before last. And now it is proposed
to increase this sum by adding the amount
appropriated by the disability pension bill.
which will require at the lowest estimate
sS5,oOo,000 more. The republicans prom
lsed to reduce the surplus, and, you may
depend upon it, they'll do it.

The Alabama Editors.

The Alabama editors and publishers
who will reach Savannah this morning
will find that they are guests whom
tain. They are guests who are emit
tied to warm welcome and hospitable
attention, not only because they are from
a sister state and are friends, but also
because their state has become very closely
connected in business interests with this
city within the last year or two.
Savannah's two great railroad systems
now connect Alabama's two most important
cities-Montgomery and Birmingham
with this port. The Central railroad
reaches into the iron and coal region of
Alabama, and brings the products of her
mines. factories and fields to Savannah's
wharves, and the Savannah, Florida
and Western, by means of its con-
nection with the Alabama Midland.
makes Savannah the seaboard outlet for the
products of the richest agricultural section
of that state.
This visit of Alabama editors and
publishers to Savannah, therefore, has
significance and an appropriateness
tnat Is apparent TO the most casual
| observer. They will have a chance
to become acquainted with the business men
of this city, which is certain to become
more closely identified with the material in
terests of their state every day. They will
have an opportunity to see the facilities
which this seaport has for handling the pro-
ducts of their state which are intended for
distant markets. They will find out how
necessary to the interests of their state it is
| that our harbor shall be so i'm
proved as to accommodate the largest
ships afoat, and having been made
aware of this necessity, they will lend US a
helping hand in getting for harbor i'm
provement the aid which the government
has heretofore so grudgingly extended
The Alabama editors and publishers will
find Savannah pretty city and a prosper
Gus and busy one, and they will also find
that she gives her guests the best she has.

The passage of scripture at the head Of
the editorial columns of the New York Mail
and cypress last Saturday was as follows:
sand without faith it is impossible to be
well pleasing unto Him: for he that cometh
to God must believe that He is, and that He
is a rewarder of them that seek after Him."
At this particular time such text naturally
suggests itself to Brother Shepard, and out
of the fullness of the heart, to quote from
the excellent book containing the foregoing
passage, the mouth speaketh.
