THE BATTERY GRAB.

The agents Of the elevated railroad at Albany
are making desperate effort to secure law
in the rush and hurry of the closing hours OF
the session which will give them firmer hold
on the Battery. What the railroad people now
have in law is right of way across the park
which is revocable according to the contract
when they have received six months notice to
move. They are on the peoples ground by
sufferance, under contract obtained by meth
DDS which have been questioned; contract
too, which an unrescinGed resolution OF the Park
Department declares they have Illagrantly vio-
lated. If they can get right to this strip of
the city's land on more stable tenure than this
revocable license to operate railroad through
it. they will be III stronger position to invade
and annex larger strip hereafter.
They will need more switch-room and end
room so long as there is any hope OF getting
land for nothing; and their train service will
grow worse and worse so long as any one can
be found who will urge this as valid reason
for giving them all they beg for. II it can be
once proved to them that the people Of the city
and their representatives are in earnest, and
have no thought of giving them priceless prop
erty for the asking, they will do as other people
do and buy the land they need. The true way
for the city to secure immediate Improvements
in the facilities offered by the elevated road is
TO order it out OF the Battery altogether.

FREER TRADE WITH MEXICO.

II + highly. significant of the interest taken
by our people in the Administrations Reciprocity
plans that so much attention from all parts OF
the country has been given to the letters OF our
correspondent in Mexico and the West Indies.
By their intrinsic merit, their charming style
and the wonderfully wide and accurate informa-
ton they dispense, these letters would at all
times compel general reading. But they have
won so much more than this that we must at
tribute some part of the publics appreciation
of them to its desire for the extension by recip-
rocal trade arrangements Of our commercial in
terests in the Southern countries. Considering
them from this point of view their importance
is great. They will place the people in posi-
ton clearly to understand each OF the numerous
negotiations now going on and soon to develop
into statutory procamations.
There is no Spanish American country with
which on the score Of mere friendship and good
will the people of the United States Will be
more pleased to encourage freedom OF trade
than with Mexico and in bis letters from that
State our correspondent has been especially
lucid and particular. In a communication from
Patycuaro, printed on Sunday, he sums up the
situation in few sentences that call for inn
mediate thought especially in the West:
There is class Of agricultural producers in the
United States that really needs protection against Mex
competition. The wealth OF this country lies In
its mines, not in It's fields Mexican wheat is in
significant crop compared with that Of the United
States There is no surplus Of corn, rye, and barley
for export Mexico imports more livestock for feeding
IFS population than II sends the border.
Mexican oranges so perishabe that the Florida
crop does not require TO be protected against them.
Tobacco and wool raised In inconsderable quaint
ties and American interests would not suffer from the
free importation of both products from this quarter
The main agricultural staples coffee sugar. hides and
bres are now received in the United States without
restriction reciprocity treaty gHntng free mar
ket for Mexican wool, oranges, tobacco and livestock
would be highly advantageous TO both countries Il ade
quate compensations were obtained in exchange by
which American products and manufactures could be
introduced in Mexico favorable terms than al
present. The silver are already admitted duty
free Let the lead ores be added 10 the reciprocity
list and the United States would practically open It's
! markets TO all Mexican products. agricultural and
mineral.
I'm the criticisms offered by Free Traders, in
spired often by sheer ignorance, but oftener still
| by partisan uglinesS, upon the Administration
Reciprocity plans, it is constantly said that the
farmers of America have nothing to gain by an
extension of trade in the South. 1t is a neces-
sary feature OF the Free-Trade propaganda TO
array the American farmers against the Ameri-
can manufacturers, and so it is alleged that
while Reciprocity may promote the sale of ma
chinery, fabrics and other manufactured articles

CELEBRATING THE COPYRIGHT VICTORY.

The American Copyright League was eight
years old yesterday, and naturally it devoted
tbe anniversary to celebrating the victory which
conyripbt won in the List Congress. On another
page we present report oil the dlnIler aV "n'on
the members Of the League and their guests
most of whom have done valiant service LOT 'ne
good cause, gave expression to their leehhgs
The 10Y was not quite unconiined Dut theh the

have represented the attitude OF the League as

the half loaf which was secured at Washington

Whatever NAV be its limitations, the victory
is Justly to be regarded as famous one. for

incisive speech on taking the char at the an

matter of detail. The United States are now
upon record as holding that the right OF prop
erty in literary inventions is as sacred as the
right of property in material inventions. This
point conceded, the other legitimate demands Of
authors growing out of it must also be conceded
sooner or later unless we are to assume that
copyright reform, differing from other revolu-
lions is to move backward. Writers beyond the
sea who do not wax enthusiastic over the law
in question would do well to remember this and
so 10 take heart They and all their brethren
on either side of the Atlantic may rest assured
that the measure which came so desperately
near failing-the two houses OF Congress not
reaching an agreement until the hour of final
adjournment was nearly reached-was the best
that could possibly have been got through IN
this year Of grace, 1891.
The great body Of the American people owe
the workers of the League and all others who
have fought the good fight mighty debt OF
gratitude That consideration lent significance
and satisfaction TO the dinner In laborlng to
secure Justice and fair play for authors these
public spirited citizens were necessarily labor
ing to erase stain which has long rested upon
the fair fame of our country. In the absence OF
an international Copyright law from the statute
books Of the United States Uncle Sam was not
warranted in looking square in the face those
who subscribe to the Golden Rule.

THE coNsEQ UENCEs OF LAND GAMBLING.

When the West and South went crazy over
land speculation few years ago, and reveled
in a boom which put prices up swiftly 100,
and even 200 per cent in many instances, there
were sober people who predicted that the re-
action would be productive of unpeasantnesS
Prudent advice was wasted in those days The
enthusiasts of the West and South blew their
iridescent bubbles, imagined them jewels of
incalculabe value and regarded with contempt
cold-bloOded people who questioned the Solidity
or permanence of the bubbles But the ques-
ton now is whether two unpleasant results OF
The real estate craze are not the depression OF
business, and the election of a House overwhelm-
ingly Dmocratc. For il the outbreak Of the
Farmers Alliance was direct consequence OF
the impovershment and hopeless Indebtedness
of thousands who had bought too much land at
fancy prices. and paid too many mortgages for
il. the absurdties OF the election last November
may find an explanation in the same evil-work-
ing force which has since turned more than
third of the irOn-wOrkers out of employment
within four months.
Skyrocket prices for real estate no community
can afford to cultivate. 1t would be better to
raise weeds or Canada thistles. In the manu-
facture of fancy prices for land and town lots
it was necessary to organize n multitude Of
manufacturing establishments and to put up a
vast number of new buildings. The demand
for iron in all this artificial expansion was for
time enormously increased so that as one
Southern furnace after another began to add TO
the output the consumption seemed to keep pace
with an unprecedented advance in production.
But in time there came a check as there always
must come one Of some Sort and then it was
suddenly perceived that unsold stocks of iron
had been accommodating, that many costly works
bid been put up which could be kept alive only
by driving other and Older works ont of use and
that the country could not go on forever build
ing stores and shops and dwellings at an ex-
penditure OF several thousand millions yearly.
The turn in the iron business did not come
until after the election, and probably was pre-
cptated by the antecedent prostTation of many
thousand farmers who had bought more land
than they could pay for unless Providence had
specially favored them with an unprecedented
succession Of perfect seasons and crops. Instead
there came short crop Of wheat corn and oats,

with the delegation of prominent citizens VINO
waited on him yesterday in the interest OF clean
streets. The belief has been growing that the
admirable report of the Advisory Committee
had been permanently pgeonholed. 1t Is graft
fying, therefore to learn that the Mayor Is
giving the question of STRENGTHENING his care
full attention." and that he hopes soon to " make
an announcement" which everybody concerned
will be glad to hear. Mr. Grants languages Is
vague, and may mean much or llttle put al any
rate we shall live in hope. Meantime the
formation of the Street, Cleaning Aid Society
il to be warmly commended. New-Yorkers
have never learned the importance OF keeping
the streets clean after they are cleaned--if 1t
can be said that they ever are really cleaned
The purpose of the society is admirably prac-
tical, and the field for its missionary labors IS
unlimited.
