The vote by which the Typographical
Union thanked the statesmen at Washing
ton for supporting the copyright bill, recalls
the very effective aid given by the printers
in securing the passage of that measure.
For many years the literary people in the
country, the authors, reviewers and maya
zine writers had been arguing with Con-
gress for such a measure. Their arguments
were sound and convincing. Their appeal
to common honesty was as effective as any
similar appeal ever made to Congress. But
1t was of as little avail as the blowing of the
east wind. To be sure the House of Repre-.
sentatives was so tied up with antiquated
rules that it was incapable of acting on cues
lions opposed by violent minority; but
there was not the will on part of majority
of the members Of Congress to pass copy.
right law. This was the situation when the
typographical Union took 1t up. The Union
had powerful organization which it put to
work to bring congressman to an apprecia-
ton of the advantages of copyright law
and the demand for it. Nearly every mem
Der OF Congress began to find out that there
were people in his district who wanted
copyright law. The wild Tammanyites of
New York city. who do not care much about
cherishing literature, suddenly heard from
the great New York Union, which boasts
that 1t once decided presidential election.

1t Is fairly presumable that his great age
may have been taken advantage of by design

may have been used to sanction transactions
that he would not have approved of In his
prime. Certainly his name was great
power among the French people. When the
Suez Canal was completed in 1869 it was at
once an assured success. The French people
had ventured large sums Of their savings in
1t; and they universally attributed their for
tunate investment to the ability, the FORE
sight and the integrity of the great promoter
OF the canal. No name stood higher in
France than that of De Desseps. This is in no
way so forcibly attested as by the amounts
Of their money that have been put into his
Panama canal scheme. The frugal peasants

called, have turned over to De Lesseps for

has recently said that everybody knows that
he has no free trade notions. A year ago he
had plenty of them and he fired them off yery
