BETTER PATENT LAWS NEEDED.
Unusual Interest will attach to the
final report and recommendations tt
the commissioners appointed by Presi
dent McKinley to revise and amend
the patent laws, who have been hold
ing sessions in Chicago, because of the
continual clamor of the populists and
anti-trust agitators for the abolish
atent of "patent monopolies."
' A patent monopoly, according to the
populists, arises from the safeguards
which the government Is supposed to
throw around the patented products
of inventive genius. Some of the popu
lists are opposed to any sort of protec
tion to the owners or Inventors of pat
ented articles, believing that the world
Is entitled to the benefit of all mechani
cal devices or processes that are cal
culated to contribute to the comfort
or happiness of mankind. Others favor
legislation which permits these devices
to become the property of the people
after a few years.
Instead of lowering or removing 'the
governmental barriers against in
fringments of patents all revision or
amendment of the patent laws should
be In the direction of making the pro
tection now afforded by the govern
ment more secure against the en
croachments of those who seek to profit
by the industry or genius of others.
The government issues "letters patent'
to an inventor, which Is supposed to
protect him in his right to the manu
facture and sale of a device, but the
protection is notoriously Ineffective and
inadequate. It is not a criminal offense
to steal mechanical ideas. An inventor
cannot put a man in jail for infringing
upon a. patented article and converting
it to his own profit. The most he can
do Is to mulct him for damages, but
this iuite often Involves long and ex
pensive litigation, and even then he
may not be able to establish priority
of idea or design to the satisfaction of
a court. In the meantime unless an
injunction is asked for and granted
the Infringer continues to derive profit
froth the product of another man's in
ventive skill. i
It is not creditable to our patent leg
islation that such an inventor as Thoa.
A. Edison should filially announce his
conclusion, after long experience in liti
gation, that a "United States tetters
patent does not protect." It is stated,
The Future of
A child's life may be

youth, such as Rickets,

weak bones or crooked
spine, and inability to stand

mus, that wasting disease
characterized by paleness
and emaciation, or Scrofula,
a constitutional disease of
the glands and neck. ,
Scott's Emulsion
of pure Cod-Liver Oil with Hypo
phosphites of Lime and Soda will
prevent and cure these diseases.
It supplies ust the material needed
to form strong bones, rich red
blood and solid flesh. It will also
reach the infant through the moth
ers milk, and be of the greatest
benefit to both.

New York Tribune.
Mr. Bryan In his Nebraska platform,
which may well be taken as an
antitype of the forthcoming Kansas
City platform on which he will take his
stiri't as a presidential candidate, is
particularly hot and strenuous against
militarism, imperialism and all the
other like bouies which have been
conjured up In his "mirage of over
heated language." "We are," he cries,
"opposed to purchasing traJe at the
cannon's mouslit w ith human blood,
We are not willing to convert
republic into an empire. We op.
pone militarism." To which mouth-fill
in? phrases the juvenile yaps in the up
per gallery no doubt respond with
vigorous "Hi! hi'."
And yet in that same benign and
philosophical charter of humanity Mr.
Bryan declares: "We are In favor of
the immediate construction and fortl
float ion of the Nicaragua canal by
the United States."
Is not Mr. Bryan aware that the
Nicaragua canal !s to traverse the ter
ritory of Nicaragua and Costa Rica,
two independent, sovereign states?
Are we to go down there, invade that
territory with force and arms and
purchase trade, or a highway for
trade, "at the cannon's mouth
with human blood?" Are we
to seize their land, and thus "convert
a republic into an empire?" Are we
to establish great fortresses upon the
land thus seised, and maintain a huge
standing army there, and commit our
selves to all the evils of "militarism?"
Of a truth, this eminent expounder of
humanitarian ethics appears to be
crying "Good Lord!" in the Philip
pines and "Good Devil!" In Nicara
gua.
THE PUERTO RICAN PETITION.
New Tork Tribune.
Some of the planters, merchants ani
manufacturers of Puerto Rico have
concluded that after all they do not
wish their island to be made part
and parcel of the United States. That
is the meaning of their latest petl
tion asking for the entire abolition of
customs duties between this country
and Puerto Rico, and the raising of
revenue by an Internal tax equal to
one-third of the revenue tax levied In
the United States. They have been
demanding the extension of the tariff
laws of the United States as a con
stitutional right, but they have re
tired from that position and left in
sorry plight the congressmen and
editors who have been tearing passions
to tatters over the outrage of govern
ing them except under the constltu
tion. Are these statesmen who wtep
about the administration's Intention
to oppress Puerto Rico still going to
insist on extending the constitution to
the island In face of evidence that the
people do not want it, and that its ex
tentlon would lay upon them a burden
oi internal Taxation inree times as
heavy as they think they ought to
bear? What becomes of their pity for
the Puerto Rlcans then? They would
make themselves as much oppressors
with their constitutional revenue laws
as they complain the republicans would
with nominal customs duties.
The estimate of the committee of
ways and means was that 25 per cent
of the Dlngley tariff rates would pro
duce a revenue of 12,300,000. If that Is
correct, 15 per cent of those rates ought
to produce 11,330,000. The Puerto P.lc-
an petition estimates that the taxes
levied by the United States Internal
revenue laws would amount to 12,237,-
000. It would therefore cost the peo
ple of Puerto Rico nearly $1,000,000
more a year, all coming out of their
own pockets right at home, to live un
der the constitution than would ba
raUed for their benefit from bolh the
Puerto Rlcan and American tra Jers in
the custom houses here as well as
on the Island. That would be a queer
way of extending the blessings of pros
perity and a protection constitution.
The Puerto Rlcans think this con
stitutional internal revenue tax is too
much for them to pay, and quite natur
ally. In a country where living is
cheap and wages low the stamp and
other Internal taxes which we pay
might be a serious mishap. For in
stance, $1.10 a gallon might put rum
to a prohibitive price, discouraging
production or encouraging Illicit man
ufacture. Other levies might operate

more worthy of encouragement Im
posts become oppressive as the selling
price of articles taxed at a fixed rate
decreases, and the taxes suited to us
probably would be onerous to people
who live well in tropical climates on
Incomes utterly Inadequate to the de
mands of our more complex life. So
the Puerto Rlcans are. perhaps right
In thinking one-third of our Internal
revenue rates would about suit them.
They are applying exactly the same
principle to their problem as did the
committee of ways and means, which
concluded that a small fraction of our
tariff duties would suit their indus
trial condition and provide a reason
able amount of revenue. Both favor
special tax laws for Puerto Rico, dif
fering only about the way of apply
ing them. The Puerto Rican proposal
is Just as incompatible with the ex
tension of the conslltutlon to the isl
and as that of the committee of ways
and means.
Wherever under the constitution our
customs laws extend our internal reve
nue laws necessarily operate. Tne
rule of uniformity is as sacred for
imposts and excises as for, duties. As
a matter of act, it was not un:il 1SC3
that congress extended the internal
revenue laws to all places "within the
exterior boundaries of the Unhed
States," but if the constitution neces
sarily applies to all territory of the
United States the earlier practice was
urcoiisiifutlonal, and poor Puerto Rico,
whether it likes it or not, must pay
internal taxes at our war revenue rates.
Are the democrats and their sentimen
tal asistants going to give the Puerto
Ricans what they want, or grind them
down under the high Imposts to which
they do not consent? Do these states
men want to make them pay $1,000,000
they t at 111 afford for the blessings of
a constitution that does not fit them.
or are they going in response to this
demand from San Juan to consent to
the republican doctrine of legislating
for each new territory" as its needs
may reqiiiie, unhampered by our own
iaivs? There Is no middle ground.
