I make this statement in order that no one may be misled or plead ignorance of the facts when called on to answer charges of infringement. Many of my letters patent have been issued and cop- ies of them can be obtained from the Patent Office.

On motion of Mr. Ber:y, House bill appropriating $75,000 for a public builaing at Helena, Ark., Was MR, WILSON ON THE MESSAGE. Mr. Wilson, of Iowa, addressed the Senate on the subject of the President's annual message. He quoted the figures contained in the last annual Teport of the Secretary of the Treasury showing the receipts and @xpenditues of the Government Jor che last ubree years—the aggregate of receipts: over expenditure being $17,000,000, or an avi of $59, 000 a year. ‘Lhe re.uit thus cl he said, presented the limit within which Con- gress should move in the matter of reducing the Tevenue, However much Senators might differ as to the methods of reauction, ali woud doubtless p, vase, the revenue snoud be reduced. It was not wi Lo collect more reyes ors wiley ‘Oper purposes of the Governme! a Bedond with tae annual surplust Before ventur- ing on any suggestion to that question he would indulge, be said, in a little retrospection. He spoke ofthe republican party assuming control of the Government On the 4th Of March, 1861, as Lue most: notable movement in the history of the nation, Nolike number of years in tne history of ay ution Was so crowned with lessons for the study of political economists as that which commenced On the 4th of March, 1861, and foliowed down to the present time. ‘The political party which entered on the administration of the affairs of the country on that memorable day had been one of dauntiess courage and unbounded capacity. If the republican party bad been deficient either in cour- age or capacity it woud have broken down in the first year of 118 administration. But it had not broken down. It had taken up its great work and carried 1t on, and effected successes such us no Other party in the history of tne natiun had done, ‘He spoke Of tue enormous debt contracted duriog the War and of Its rupid reduction dowa to 1884, and said Coinee facts sop oe ey emien pocad c practical capacity cul evolve u bouudiess Credle lor u Government. that Was bankrupt when it took of its affairs, ‘That party, ne sald, stood alone tu its strength and beauty. Asa political creation it was unique 10 every respect. REFERRING TO THE GROWTH AND PROSPERITY OF THE ‘COUNTRY, he contrasted the figures of 1860 and 1880 as to agriculture and manufactures, and said that the true policy was the one Which would plant manu- facturing establishments in every part of every” agricultural state. If a reduction of prices for manufactured articles was what was wanted there was no surer road to its realization than the one which would lead to the distribution of manufacturing plants in ail the localities where agriculture produced cheap food and where the forests and mines and quarries supplied the raw materials needed. There should be an end of the policy which tended to centralize manufacturing plants in the great cities, and which would distribute them in all parts of the country. If, however, they were to follow tue President’s suggestions they would not multiply and distribute manu- facturing plant, but they would embarrass those now in Co obgeaae and repress the tendency to invest capital io them.
