Mr. U. W. Kruuiuger, who suia that Ibe topic resolved
Itself Into tbe proposition whether a utau is eutltled
to tbe wont ol bis brain, lie dunned that tlio re
sults of Intellectual labor were property, provided
tbut tbey did uot clash with others' property, sad
that the policy or law which works against loriolture
upply as well to inch products as to those ol other
kieus of labor.
Mr. W. Hallos. Jr., In the negative, said tbat all tba
work of au author could be u priori noihlug more
ibau a presentation ol facts uud Ideas already long
known, but differently creased.
Mr. A. U. Win torsion followed in tbo afllrmettve,
holding that on around* ot public uud private beoelll
to uotbora, publishers and the people at large, It was
advisable to aeoure a copyright.
Mr. Preston Barr argued ou tbe negative side of tno
proposition and Mr. W. 3. McEacliron In the alDrruu
live. The latter offered some objections to tbe public
policy ot the negative, holding tbat u copyright
enabled ihe best authors to write their beat lor the
bo-it readers and that tboy would not have to pander
to tbo tastes of the low minded.
Ur. T. C. Beattlo closed the urgument on tbe nega

the number ol printed pages euob year iu England to
be two jirr capita, but lu thia country twenty per cap
