One Of the common objections to the inter
national copyright bill is that il will inc rease
the cost Of books. This is in large part a mis-
apprehension All the splendid literature of
Europe from the earliest period down to the
date Of the act will BE- open TO the public Of
America at old prices. The only works that
could possibly be made more expensive by rea-
son of tho l>v are the foreign books not
yet pubSlshed. Such Of these a. are re-
printed will. it is certain, be of higher char
aeser than those which are now Furnished for
American consumption The market for cheap
vorks viii be abundsntly supplied. 70 CON-
psnsate for any increase in tho price of this
foreign literature there Will probably be a sub
sssntial decrease in the price OF American
books made possible under the international
copyright, and which ID not now possible.
Chap American literature is, at least, as neees-
ssry to the American pubic as cheap foreign
literature. Patriotic impulse would make the
thoughtful citizen feel that it is even more i'm
portant if We are to have an American public
spirit developed On American lines Of culture.
