Sewing Machines.

The world will hail with gladness
the extinction of monopoly in the
sewing machine business. Congress
has protected the inventors and ven-
dors of these useful implements of art
for a quarter of a century or more.
And for the last ten years their lobby
lists have crowded the galleries of Con-
gress to repletion. But quietus
was put upon this in the House of
Congress few day ago. The House
refused to extend their patents and
the lobbyists have folded their tents
and retired. These inventors have
coined millions out of their labors by
the leniency of Congress. The sew
ing machine has become household
necessity, and the price will now be
reduced so that the poorest family can
have it. We are assured that the
very best machines can be manufac-
tured at from twelve to twenty dol
lars, and many very good ones at hall
this amount. Thousands of skillful
mechanics will go into the business
Immediately to supply the growing
demand. Not one-third of the fami-
lies of our own country, to say moth.
ing of other nations, have been sup
piled with this domestic necessity.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1876-04-02

THE managers of the Santa Monica
railroad have taken the HERALD's ad.
vice and done away with the absurdi-
ty Of charging seventy-five cents for
passage to Santa Monica. The fare to
Jonesville is now one dollar. the same
as to the wharf. The old arrange
ment was a scheme for the benefit of
Jonesville. For seventy-five cents
the passenger could ride from Los An
geles to station about half mile
this side of the town and go the re-
mainder of the distance on foot, but
the person who desired to ride to San
ia Monica was required to pay twen-
ty-five cents more. 1t was an unwise
arrangement and we are pleased to
note that it has been discontinued.
On and after the first inst the fare be-
tween this city and Santa Monica is
one dollar. No charge to down fpas-
sengers for getting off at the Santa
Monica station half mile this side of
Jonesville.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1876-04-02

net profit of $1,45O,OOO dollars per
year. San Francisco pays 100000
per annum for lighting her streets,
which is equal to one-third the ex-
pense of manufacturing all the gas
consumed in the city. 1t is claimed
that the San Francisco gas company
could supply gas at two dollars per
thousand feet and yet clear $3.50, 900
per year, or about thirty per cent. on
the money invested in the business.
1t is difficult to see why it costs so
much more to manufacture gas in this
city than in, San Francisco. Coal
ought to be delivered here at a slight
advance on the cost of delivery In
San Francisco. But brea, an article
that is obtained at less than half the
cost of coal, is extensively used in the
of gas here, and we.
therefore, may safely assume gas can
be made in this city as cheaply as in
San Francisco. If gas cost but $3.50
or $4.00 per thousand feet, the con-
sumption would be ten times greater
than at present, and we presume the
profits would equal if they
did not exceed those of the present.
