pound, and the average price of the
starch exported is 3.22 cents per pound,
or a little less than cent per pound
more. With the duty added. the foreign
starch would be worth in this market
4.37 cents per pound, and it must be sold
at that or it would not be imported. In
this market pearl starch is quoted at
3.25 cents per pound and fancy grades
as high as cents and a fraction. This
exported starch gees to all parts of the
world. including England. Belgium and
Germany. 1t must be sold there in
competition with the product of those
pauper countries which will come into
this market and destroy the starch in
dustry if our protective duty is reduced
to cent per pound.
We would therefore inquire how the
starch trust manages to compete with
this foreign product of pauper labor
this 2-37 cents starch-in foreign coun-
tries if it does not sell it's starch cheaper
in foreign countries than it does at
home? There must be some explanation
for it. If this is not the correct one,
what is the correct one?

A STATE INDUSTRY.

Whatever trades were crippled by the
financial pressure Of the last several
months that of canning tomatoes stood
firm and vigorous. The fourteenth an
nuaI report of the American Grocer
makes the output of canned tomatoes in
the United States and Canada for the
year 1898 4.395.54S cases. an excess over
1892 Of 1,O2SS14 cases. The total output
is equivalent to los, .Os2 tins, a guam
tity sufficient to give each family of
five persons eight tins per annum. This
is the largest quantity ever produced in
the United States. The probability is il
1t had not been for the long summer
drought which prevailed in Indiana, Ohio
and some other states that the yield
would have reached five millions of cans.
The year was a good one for the pack
ers. as the sales for future delivery dur

Surplus earnings EQUALS o.

The inventor who produces an article
that attains such results as these ought
to receive a good share of the profits
and it is a lamentable defect of our pat
ent laws that he is not secured a small
per cent. of the profits Of his invention,
even if he is forced by necessity to sell
it. If the law were forced to make a or 10
per cent. interest in net profits inaliena-
bic it would not interfere with the sale
of patents and would give many a genius
a share in the fruits of his invention
that he loses under the present system.

That comparatively large collection of
fools, of which new crop seems to be
constantly coming on-we refer to those
who didn't know it was loaded''-will
find something to think about in a recent
decision OF Judge Lott of the appellate
court. The judge held that any person
over ten years old who points a pistol
or other firearm at another whether the
pistol be loaded or unloaded, from ma
licious or mischievous motives, is guilty
OF an unlawful act and may be fined in
any sum not exceeding $780, To say
nothing of this mischievous practice of
poking a pistol in a persons face Gust
for joke" as it prevails in other states,
there is enough Of it going on in Indi-
ana to call forth Just such a vigorous
opinion as Judge Lott has furnished and
enough Of it, too, to bring forth the
earnest protest Of newspapers and that
of the sensible people Of every commune
ty. Many valuable lives have been lost
IN this state within recent years from
this cause alone and this decision is
timely and to the point.

ing the first half Of 1898 were unusually
heavy. High prices for canned tomatoes
lated the industry and led to the plant
ing Of a largely increased area. Fortu-
nately the crop was short n/some sec
tions and thus an overstocked market
was prevented. This tomato industry is
a fine thing for Indiana. The advant-
age that natural gas gives the packer,
together with the possibility of the soil
producing innumerable bushels of toma-
toes, cannot be too highly estimated. AL
most any other kim of vegetable fit for
packing can be produced in Indiana.

THE TELEPHONE PATENT.

The expiration of the Bell telephone
patent makes of interest a review of the
workings of the company that owns it,
as it has been one of the most profitable
patents ever known in this country. and
the Boston Herald has conferred a IA
vor on the public by compiling an histor-
ical sketch of it. The present company
was organized in May. $780, with an
authorized capital of $1O,OOO,OOO. and is
sued capital of $4,000, 600. This was in
creased to $7.350,OO0 by giving right to
the National Bell telephone company's
shareholders to subscribe for SS50,OOO
stock at par From that day until re-
Gently subscription privileges at par
have been issued, and sundry extra and
valuable rights have been given to share
holders. None of these is included here.
The National Bell telephone company had
a capital stock of 500, 600. When it con-
cluded TO reorganize as the American
Bell it sold 500 shares in its treasury
for $500 per share to meet its ''immedi-
are wants, presumably HodJlhg uepl'
1t then gave each shareholder six shares
for one and turned the property over to
the new company for S6.5O0,OOO, taking
pay in stock at par. The first year
ended Feb IS 1880, and included two
months of the National Bell year. In
1884 the fiscal year was changed to the
calendar year and covered but ten
months. The total dividend payments
and capital at the end of each year have
