A COPYRIGHT CASE.

a decision refusing to enjoin the sale of
the Encyclopedia Britannica by an American
firm has been given by Judge Wallace of
New York. The compliments were Black
IL Company, publishers of the original work
at Edinburgh, Scotland. In the original
work portions were covered by copyrights
secured by American authors, and the de-
cisiOn holds that American publishers have
a legal right to use all other portions of the
work. As the American publisher has sub
sttuted articles for the copyrighted ones.
there is nothing in the original work that
may be enjoined. Under the proposed inter-
national copyright law the entire contents of
the original work would be the exclusive
property OF the Edinburgh publishers.
The American edition, with articles substi-
tuted for articles in the original covered by
American copyright. is sold for about one
squrth the price of the Edinburgh edition.
10 true solution Of the copyright problem
70 discover some way to compensate au-
tlots and publishers without giving legal
protection to monopoly or combination that
enables publishers to place exorbitant prices
ON works which for the good of the people
Should be distributed at reasonable prices.

POLITICAL PROSPECTS.

1t ought to be understood by members of
the Republican party at sacramento that the
people generally are watching with much
interest the proceedings of the Legislature.
as upon its acts depend the success of that
party II the next election. The Democratic
party at the last election was overthrown
by the corruption of those persons who had
gained control OF the Offices by such means
as were used by Buckley and his henchmen
The appellatiOn Democratic had become in
California synonymous with the words cor
Tuption and fraud. An independent people
viii not for much length of time vote for
men who make plumber their business. As
We nave said the Democratic party went
down at the last election because of the
frauds which were upheld by those persons
who acted with Buckley. The Republican
party il it does not act with prudence at
Sacramento and in this city viii go down in
the same way. There are in this city aud
SIc!anlent0 few uIen abUut as corrupt as
were Buckley and his henchmen. They are
now at work to defeat the passage of the
Australian system Of voting although they
were pledged prior 10 the election to pass
such law. These men expect 10 succeed
as did Buckley, and they believe if they can
defeat The passage of an election law that it
will not matter much how many bad me1s-
ures they may fasten upon the people they
can by controlling nominations continue in
power. The CALL is convinced that such
expectation viii fail. for no people of intel
ligence will vote for party for much length
Of time which is controlled by boss. We
have seen that taxes have greatly increased
in this city and State. and We realize that
there is not likely to be any reduction unless
a. 81

is the question. Only by deyising some
pan to which voters can turn in the event
Of snch pra.iaations being made as were
witnessed under Buckley's management.
With law 60 verning elections akin TO that
known as the Australian system there viii
be an opportunity for an independent ticket.
There Is at this time significance in the or
ganization of the Farmers Alliance in
this State, which, in the opinion Of THE
CALL, is destined to overwhelm the
Republican party unless it casts off the
men who are advising it to disregard its
pledges. The farmers throughout Califor-
MIA are grooming under oppressive taxation,
:Hd these, together with business and labor
Ipg men III San Francisco, are likely to act
IN concert unless the Republican party take
warning from the downfall of Buckley and
his henehmen. Our citizens all know that
lew men by the use of money have for some
time past controlled the nominations of
nearly all of the important Offices in the
State. Railroads and two or three other
interests have pad money for the noinina-
ton of such Judges and other officials as
would suit their purposes. What THE
CALL wants Is an honest nomination and
election of men who are not sold body and
soul 10 few men.

TAX-LIST.
Supervisors Have a Talk in Re-
gard to Bids for Printing.

The disposition of the public printing,
though a comparatively trifling matter.
seems 10 tax the patience and ingenuity of
the Supervisors more than any other matter
that comes before them during one term OF
Office.
There appeared to be some uncertainty
about the bids for the delinquent tax-list
opened before the board on Monday night,
so a meeting of the Printing Committee was
called yesterday morning to decide who the
lowest bidders. The Bulletin had put in a
bid to fit two conditions, that Is, cents
for each assessment, provided each para
graph including city and county and State is
regarded as two assessments; or 10h cents
for each assessment, provided the city and
State assessments are counted as one. The
Report and the Post bid simply rs cents
for each assessment.
George i. HeaZelton, representing the
Post, argued that his bid is the lowest, be-
cause it had been made upon the under
standing that the city and State assessments
are counted as one: Upon that basis the
Bulletins bid is 10R cents, the Reports 14h
cents, and the Posts ~, and the difference
between the Pos: and the Bulletin would be
5000 in favor of the former.
II. l.. Barnes, Business Manager of the
Bulletin, maintained that the specifications
are not plain, and that the city and county
assessments and the State assessment are
really one and should be bid for on that
basis. Providing for that construction of
the specifications, the Bulletin had bid 10b
cents. On the other hand. il the assess
ments are considered as separate, the bid is
cents each.
Supervisor Aver was anxious to know the
Law on the point but the only explanation
forthcoming was that heretofore the as
sesSments had always been regarded as sepa-
rate, and bids received accordingly.
Chairman Carnes thought it would be best
TO have the opinion of the City aud County
Attorney before acting. but 1t was suggested
that there would not be time TO readvertise
for bids.
A. c. Hester of the Report favored having
the advertising all doue over again.
As Counselor burst was III courtand could
not attend the committee meeting, the dis
cussion was postponed until $3.50 clock this
morning.
Tax Collector O'Bren and his Chief
Deputy McCabe agree that the city and
county assessment and the State assessment
are separate, have always been so regarded
In that office, and should be bid for sepa-
ratey now. The Tax Collector has always
been in the habit of charging the usual 50
cents fee on the two separately, and if it is
not according to law the city collects an
nualiy some $4,000 or S12, 900 that it is not

The morning call., 1891-02-04

THE CALL has heretofore noticed the dif-
ference in the administration of justice
sometimes in our San Francisco courts. 1t
has stated that vagabond who purloined a
few dollars was sent to States Prison for
years, but the man who has stolen his tens
of thousands goes unwhipped by justice.
Indeed, we have often thought that some Of
cur courts 60 upon the principle that the
person who steals large sum of money COM
mits virtuous act, inasmuch as he takes
money away from a man who has surplus,
and scatters it among the people. Again,
the man who is robbed of a large sum occu-
pies the position of cul rit, or is made to
appear as such. According to this reasoning
the person who has the ten, twenty or fifty
thousand dollars of which he is robbed is
often treated in court as if he were worse
than the culprit. a newspaper contempo-
rary proves the correctness of this state
ment, as follows:
On Saturday man who stole 30 cents worth
OF property was sentenced 10 two years hard
labor in Folsom Prison. John e. Hall. who stole
over 100000, is still at large. Justice is mighty,

THE PRODUCTION OF PIG IRON.

The Alta is quite respondent over the
tin-plate industry. 1t perceives n prospect
that higher price will be paid for tin plate
for the next three years in consequence of
the increase of duty imposed BY the McKin-
ley tariff, and is fearful lest American tin
plate manufacturers may combine with for
eign manufacturers to keep prices up. This
argument was advanced fifteen years ago
against duties on iron and steel. 1t was as
serted that Americans would have to paw
the foreign price with the duty added, and
that If any iron or steel should be manu-
featured at home, our local manufacturers
would combine with foreigners to maintain
prices. The report of the American Iron
and Steel Association showing the condition
OF that industry at the close of the year
1890 is good answer to that argument. The
American production Of pig iron in 1890 was
100000 gross tons larger than that of Great
Britain IN the same year, and about 500, 900
gross tons larger than that of Great Britain
in the year 1882, which was the wear of its
greatest product. The American pig-iron pro-
duct was therefore larger in 1890 than the
product of Great Britain in its best year. The
increase has been general in all iron-produc-
Ing States, but greatest in Pennsylvania. The
increase in Alabama for 1890 over the two pre-
cedipg years is smaller than was expected.
Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia con-
tributed largely to the general increase. The
total product of pig iron for 1890 was IL, 3O7,-
OPS net tons OF 1000 pounds, or g. 2O2, 703 gross
tons of 2240 pounds. OF this total the
Southern States contributed 1853, 459 net
tons. This immense industry has been built
up In the United States by means of a pro-
teetiye tariff. Without duties on foreign iron
the Industry could never have been estab-
Hshed. Foreign manufacturers regulated
the price OF iron as they now do the price of
un plate. When higher prices promise poor
returns Tor American manufacturers. and
plants are constructed at considerable ex.
pense, drop in prices will be ordered and
continued until the American mills are
frozen out When there is no longer homa
competition, the old price is restored. The
American prices of iron and steel are now
little higher than the foreign prices. home
competition has reduced prices below the
foreign cost with duties added. So il will
be with tin plates. There may be an increase
in prices until American works are estab-
lished. but afterward prices will drop to the
old rates
