Pity the Rich.


Mr.. David r. Forgan, vice president
of the First National bank of Chicago,
told fashionable audience in the
First Presbyterian church at Evanston
the other night that "the rich man is
not to be envied. The poor man is
happier than the rich" Comfortable
doctrine. Mr.. Forgan has been poor
and is rich. He must know what he
is talking about He described to the
fashionable audience the cares and
worries and insomnia of the rich THE
poor man can leave his work in the
evening and give it little further
thought unto the next day." whereas
Dives must toss on his couch and fret
about his investments. Mr.. Torgan
might have cited the case of the many
millioned New Yorker who walled: 'T
don't know what the country is COM
ing to. We shall have to go to the
'poorhouse If this sort. of thing keeps
on. I've had more than 100000 locked
up In the Chemical bank for the last
month without earning cent of inter-
est" Pity the sorrows of O rich old
man. - Everybody's.

No Cause for Hysterla.

Now that we have come to the end
of the excited. not to Say hysterical
gossip over Emperor Williams in
spection Of the United States battle
ship Kearsarge, 1t may perhaps be in
order to suggest that the country
might have refrained altogether from
the demonstration in question without
any serious loss of dignity and self-re-
spect. We may be quite sure that the
very smallest detail o farmament or
construction relative to the Kearsarge
and to every other important vessel
In our navy has been in the possession
of the Berlin war Office ever since there
were any details to record. There Is
not one OF our dear foreign friends
who has not made a point of knowing
all about every man of war launched
at any American dock yard. Not only
our navy but our army offices swarm
with European employees = the Ger
mans always in the majority = and
nothing is more notorious In govern
ment circles than the fact that our Sc
crets, such as they may be, are no Sc
crets at all, but, on the contrary COM
mon property. - Washington Post.

Tragedy and Comedy.


Interviewed at Milwaukee, Mr.. Bryan
is reported as saying Of the Cleveland
movement that it is comedy as II
stands, but tragedy IL 1t should sue
ceed. Mr.. Bryan prefers to reverse the
process. He has twice led the Demo-
cratic party into two tragedies and is
now doing a comedy role. His persist
ent Clevelandphobia seems really to
give a semblance Of probability to this
amazing suggestion by A. M. Low in
the current number of the National
Review. 1t may seem fantastic to talk
of Mr.. Bryan taking the stump for Mr..
Roosevelt, and yet If Mr.. Cleveland or
a pronounced Cleveland man should be
nominated nothing would be more
probable than Mr.. Bryan advocating
the election of Mr.. Roosevelt as ere
burke" to recreant Democrats. Other
philosophic observers Of political con-
ditions have called attention to the
fact that Mr.. Roosevelt's. popularity at
the west has striking similarity to
that enjoyed by Mr.. Bryan in 1896, and
is fomented, so to speak, among the
same class Of voters.-N. Y. World.

Canada and Germany.


The trade relations between Canada
and Germany have played prominent
part in the discussion of Mr.. Chamber
lain's plan of a Pan-Brittannic zoll-
vereign. 1t is claimed that Germany
has "penalized" Canadian products
and that the mother country has nc
means of retaliation for this grievous
wrong done to one of her children. As
far as any outward indications go, our
Canadian neighbors are not losing
sleep over their trade relations with
Germany, nor do trade returns indi-
cate any violent animosity on the par;
OF Canada. Canadian German trade
is not very extensive. Trade returns
of Canadian imports of 1000 0UC
against exports Of $2,70O,000 for the
fiscal year 1902, indicate that IL any
feeling exists 1t is quietly pocketed
along with compensating commercial
advantage. AS a matter of fact, 1t Is
not easy to see just where any specia
grievance exists, as far as Canada Is
concerned. = New York Sun.

How a Glass Eye Acts.

A glass eye has never so free a range
of movement as the real one, and when
the owner turns his eyes strongly in
any direction the glass eye lags behind
the other, so producing a squint. Then
the pupil Of the glass eye is of course
OF fixed size, while the natural pupil
dilates and contracts not only with
varying amounts OF light, but with
varying emotions. Then again the
white OF the eye varies in tint greatly
from day to day, being slightly blood
shot during headaches and yellow dur
ing bilious attacks. The differences in
color between the two eyes caused by
these changes are even more easily no
ticed than the differences in the pupils.

81 an ounce for an article costing %
cents in Germany. AS stated before
most civilized countries do not grant
patents on articles used in medicine
Our own country is the inglorious ex-
ception.
Antipyrine is in the same category.
It used to cost at wholesale 81 40 an
ounce. When the unjust patent ex-
pired the blood tax was wiped out

Several manufacturers in Germany

fonal, in this country, and now levies
his blood tax on the poor and suffer
ing of free America"
Germany grants patents only on the
process of manufacture, not on the
finished product, and the German pat
ent law holds out inducements TO the
discoverer and the inventor to go
ahead and find new ways of making
these chemicals, and each new way
can be patented. America says to the
student of chemistry: Don't trouble
yourself about finding out new ways
of making anything that is patented;
you will not be permitted TO sell it,"
Our laws should be so changed that
no patent shall be granted on articles
used for food or for medicine 1t is
beyond all reason that the inventive
genius of Americans and the conspic-
uouS ability of our chemists should be
kept down by these monstrous laws,
especially when the greatest sufferers
from the injustice are those least able
to bear the burden. Congress should
lose no time in wiping out this dis
grace. and the people of America
should not rest until il is done.

DRUG TAX A BAR TO SCIENCE

OCALA, FLA, June 5.
To the Editor of the Ocala Banner.
Few people know that at present
the patent laws OF our country make
it possible to levy a blood tax on
many articles made in Germany"
that are used by the sick and afflicted,
the very persons the government
would naturally be expected 10 shield
from imposition.
Take phenacetine. 1t sells in Ger
many, where it is made, at % cents an
ounce, here at 81 an ounce. Why?
Germany, like most civilized coun-
tries, does not grant patents on arti-
cles used in the healing art. The
United States does, and an enterpris-
ing citizen took out a patent for this
article, which is not made here, and
under our monstrous laws phenace-
tine cannot be sold in this country ex-
cept by the holder of the patent, and
his price is 81 an ounce wholesale.
Our patent laws were originally de-
vised to encourage scientific investi-
! CATION, but in such cases as this the
opposite effect is produced. No mat.
ter if you should find out a new pro.
cess for making phenacetine, under
this Infamous law no phenacetine can
be made or sold here except by the
| holder of the patent, who is at liberty
