Cost of Litigation.

Every means of delay was resorted TO by
costs Of this litigation up to the final de-
cisiGn in March. 1894 was over $50, coo. 1t
was not until March > 1894, that the pat
entee succeeded in getting a final adjudi-
cation on his patents in The case of Seth H.
Smith Ct al vs.. the Sandy Greek New York
Wooden Ware Company. Limited. In this
decision Judge Alfred c. Cox, in comment
ing on the invention. used the following
language:
"Complainants' machine is most COM
plete and ingenious. Mechanical skill
could never have produced il. 1t required
a high order of inventive talent The
problem TO be solved was one of unusual
difficulty. the dishes must be strong light,
thin. and OF uniform size. They must be
cheap. and they must not silver or split
or lose their shape. They must be capa-
bic of being packed in a small space so
that they can be transported conveniently
and without injury 1t is idle to assert
that one who has constructed a machine
which has overcome all these obstacles, a
machine which has created new art and
supplied commerce with over 100 000. 600
such dishes annually. is not entitled to a
place among inventors. Moreover. as be-
fore stated. he is entitled to liberal treat
ment at the hands Of a court of equity
No machine ever did before what the
Smith machine does. and the complanants
are entitled TO hold as an infringement
a machine which does the same thing and
accomplishes the same result, even though
the parts are iDgeniously changed for the
purpose OF avoiding infringement"
This decision was only reached in 1894.
and eleven years of life of the patents
had expired before the patentee succeeded
IN establishing his rights under the pat
ents. u IS said that the expenses in
CURED during this period far exceeded any
returns as the only recovery in all these
suits was $4,000. the defendants in the
principal suits being practically irrespon-
sible. and during all these years of litiga-
tion the infringers manufactured the
dishes and placed them on the market in
large quantities. ro5bing the inventor of
the profits rightly accruing TO him. dis
sat-ous fire in 1896 still further deprived
the inventor OF his natural profits.
The Committees Findings.
The committee finds that the dish pro-
duced by the Smith machine comes in
competition with other wood and paper
dishes manufactured ard used for the
same purpose. and that the extension of
these patents would not create a monop-
oily and would work no injustice or hard
ship TO anyone. The report of the COM
mittee concludes as follows:
In short, it may be said that the ex-
penses incurred by Smith in experiment
tai work perfecting his machine, the cost
ly and prolonged litigation. the ruinous
competition which he encountered while |
said litigation was going on, and the loss

Committee. "a to hauling voters from the polls
and all that sort of NONSENSE. Ihcy reallle
that Croker and Jones would like 10 try TINS
for the reason that they are desperate and badly
defeated men, But Croker and Jones are
merely two individuals against the great Amer
lean people. and Senator Scott of the committee
put II last night in very good fashion thus:
The great bulk of the people of this country
are respectable, law-abidlng and fair-minded'
II 1t were not so,the Republic could not endure
for a year. They therefore not only disapprove
the violent counselS OF Bryan, croker ana
Jones. but also resent them a. a personal In
suit and afront, They feel justas any honor
able individual would feel IL approached with
a proposition to join n party of garroters or
burglars
The fact l. that the B~ryanite leaders have
lost their heads. Even their Democratic fol-
lowers and henchmen are beginning To say so.
we notice. The absurd Inconsistencies OF the
leaders made this apparent even before they
began these latest appeals for violence. The
whole gist Of their campaign Is exhibited every
night in their Madison Square free picture
show. Last year they illuminated the Dewey
Archin honor of the victory at Manila and the
occupation of the Philippines. This year
they illuminate the same arch with pictures
of Bryan, the man who wants TO tear down
the flag in the Philippines"
Mr. Manley said: The utterances of Mr
Croker and Mr. Jones will bring their own
reward. No Republican voter will be In
timidated-no. not for an instant. Mr. Jones
adopted the same tactics in 1895. He reminds
