Tho elaborate and very complete review of
the sewing machine business, which we hav-
just read in a copy of the “ Sowing Machine
News,” aottlcs the following points:
1. There has never bceu any combination
among sewing machine manufacturers to fix the
prices of sewing machine* for tlie public. In
deed, there baa ever been an unusually heated
competition between the maker*, and each baa
been at liberty to sell u such prices us he could
jet.
2. Ample provision was ma in for licensing
•Otluv iuvet,tor*, so that the public lias bad tbs
'advantagu of awry meritorious invention and
improvement in sewing mechanist! that genius

3. Sitgje the expiration of Wilson’s feed pat

combination for its extension, the many pulj-

4. The lupshijr, May S, of a license fee of $8
per machine, did not cause the reduction in
prices of machines.
It also corrects an erroneous impression which
has been produced by the recently auiipnoced
reduction in prices of sewing machine?, from
which the public seem to have inferred that the
