MADISON ADVISED A CHECK REIN
 FOR MONOPOlIES

A newly discovered essay of President Madison according to the editors of HarpeI's Magazine. is printed for the first time in the magazine for March. Curiously enough the document deals with monopolies corporations perpetuities etc. It be- gins follows:
 "Monopoes. though in certain cases useful ought to be granted with caution and guarded with strictness against abuse. The constitution of the United States has limited them to two cases-the authors of books. and of useful inventions in both Il benefit actually gained to the community a purchase of property which the owner might other wise withhold from public There can be no just objection to temporary monoplY in these cases but it ought to be temporary, because under that limitation sufficient recompence and en- commencement may be given The limitation is par ticuarlv proper in the of inventions because they grow so much of preceding that there is the less merit in the authors; and be- cause for the same reason, the discovery might be expected in 2 short time from other hands.
