STEALING AN INVENTION.

Att mt Made to Find Out Professor
Fe!ts' Secret.
During Saturday night or Sunday
would-be invention thief or thieves
pulled the staple that held the lock to the
door of the basement of the Changers
building, in which Professor Felts keeps
his battery. Professor Felts informs us
that he was not in the battery room from
Saturday afternoon until Monday after
noon. and therefore does not know
whether it was Saturday or Sunday night
when the act of burglary and attempt 10

Professor Felts informs us that he has
been shadowing conspirators for some
time, but confesses his surprise at the
boldness of the miscreants.

was not covered by patent, which has
evidently tempted parties who have more

less task of beating the inventor out OF
his rights.
Professor Felts declares that no matter
who the parties may ba, or what their
skill as electricians, they did not dis
cover the secret OF the invention. lie
declares that no man can get practical
results out of the invention without
knowledge of that secret.
A telegram received by Professor Felts
Saturday evening from Washington states
that the patent application is filed, and
this, backed by two caveats, with all the
evidence that Professor Felts is the orig
inal inventor, will be sufficient to hold
the invention securely, even If the would
be thieves had really gotten hold of the
secret. The patent is now applied for,
and is under the protection of the patent
laws as effectually as it would be were
it fully covered by letters patent.
Professor Felts is of the opinion that
the act of burglary and attempted theft
was perpetrated by parties who have
some definite knowledge OF the exact
location of the battery.
Professor Felts expresses no uneasi-
ness in the matter. He has suspended
the exhibition that has been going on
for two weeks, and will now await the
action of the corporation. Some decisive
action will be taken Immediately.

TWO EXAMPLES.

In promoting an Attorney-General to
be a Secretary of State, President Cleve-
land has followed q precedent which was
set early in the history of our Govern
ment, and has been repeated on Eumer-
Gus occasions. Thomas Jefferson was
was the rst head of the State Depart
ment, but when he stepped out of WASH
ington's cabinet. after little more than
four years of service, he was succeeded
in his post by Edmund Randolph of Vir-
ginia, who had been the first Attorney
General The next example was Robert
Smith of Maryland, who had been Attor-
ney-General during Jefferson's last
Presidential term, and went into Madi-

[Antioch Ledger.l
Now let US be reasonable. Suppose we
had law providing that silver should be
coined free at the ratio of IL to l. Sup
pose that we had a law declaring that six
teen ounces of silver must be equal to one
ounce of gold. What then? Would
such a law make sixteen ounces of silver
worth exactly as much as one ounce OF
gold anywhere else except in the United
States? If the whole world would only
accept such ratio, then it would be plain
sailing and gold and silver would flow in
and out OF the country in equal streams.
But If there was any place in the world
where sixteen ounces of silver was not
worth one ounce OF gold, the silver of
that place would be Immediately loaded
on dray for America, and gold in ex-
change for it would leave US. If one
ounce of gold would buy sixteen ounces
silver here, and in Australia buy thirty
two ounces of silver, ships from Australia
loaded with silver would start the first
day for San Francisco. The Australian
ship would sell her thirty-two ounces OF
silver for two dollars in gold, where 1t
would only buy one dollar in gold at
at home. OF course we would get silver
that would be worth two dollars IN gold
here at home. but il we should want to
buy anything from Australia 1t would be
worth only one dollar. And there you
are.

WITHOUT CONSISTENCY OR
REASON.

The 16 to advocates, without
consistency or reason, are contin-
ually crying for more silver, when
here are millions of silver dollars
stored in the Treasury vaults, at
apayy expense to the government,
which cannot be forced into circu-
lalion, because the people do not
want them, on account of their
bulk and weight.
1t is true that this money is rep
resented by silver certificates,
which have been issued 10y the
government, but under free coin
age, SUI b would not be the case,
as the government could not and
would not then undertake to maln-
tain the parity Of an excessive and
unnecessary coinage Of silver with
that Of gold and hence, would not
issue certificates in lieu of it.
Therefore, we cannot understand
the necessity for the coinage OF
more silver, when the government
has to issue paper money to enable
MS to make use of the silver al
ready coined. 1t may be asked,
why not issue certificates under
free coinage. The reason is obvi,
Gus. The government cannot un-
dertake to guarantee the output,
when coined into money, of all the
silver mines of the world.
When coined and returned to
the owners, the silver dollars then
become the property Of individuals,
in which the government is nc
longer Interested.
Neither will they find their way
into circulation until the silver
barons have been paid a sufficient
quid pro Quo for them.
Hence, it is evident, that there
is no immediate prospect of i'll
creasing the per capita circulation
us the free silverites contend, ever
if the mints are thrown open t.
the whole world.
