      Statistics such as we quote tell their own - story . Even allowing for natural discrepancies ,

      which in such circumstances must underi \ estimate rather than over-estimate the actual

      J || facts , we are confronted by a remarkable j | instance of the growing educational power of

      the nation . We have before stated that all U this work of catering 'Si fqr the wants of the

      K $ j public is the result of private enterprise in the jj publishing world , stimulated by open and

      ;| healthy competition . For this reason publishers j deserve more thanks than they get . It is a

      ! good sign , however , that they continue to understand and even anticipate what the

      education of their countrymen demands .

      are more accustomed to business matters—and copyright is in a large degree business—than

      are the eyes of authors generally . Authors should write less to , * "he newspapers on this

      an effort to have the Chace-l 3 reckinridge International Copyright Bill taken up again in the

      present session of Congress . It has issued a deadly parallel , showing who are the principal

      supporters' and who the principal opponents of the bill . The showing is rather a poor one for

      the latter . We have before us an anonymous circular , probably issued by some one of the

      parties of the second part in the parallel , dated December 4 , containing a characteristic

      appeal to the working printers against the bill . We do not-know where to look for such direct

      incitements to dishonesty as are to be found in documents of this character . In our day ,

      incitements to theft or fraud are all given orally , except among the opponents of

      international copyright , they now monopolise the
