THE UNITED STATES AND THER EAST
FRy WAR.

The United States bid fair to resp rich
havest from the war which is about TO
break out in the East 1t is evident that
this country will become the supply depot
Of all the nations involved in the struggle.
Already our manufactures arc busily en-
gagged turning out arms for Russia and
Turkey, and 1t will not be long before these
countries will be compelled TO come to US
for breadstufs and everything pertaining
10 the commssary department Of a grea,
army. The moment 1t became evident
that conflict would occur the price oi
grain went up. In all great wars there is a
waste produced which naturally stimulates
the industry Of the country which has
the best facilities Of furnishing the com.
batants with war material aud commits.
sary stores. There can be no doubt
that America occupies the strongest posi-.
ton In which to derive benefit from the
coming contest In the nrst place it Is a,
peace with all the world. and its commerce
is in good condition. The complications
IN Europe cannot entangle the United
States. Our isolated and independent posi-.
tion marks US out as the business friend OF
every nation in Europe. Every mill thai
Is closed in Europe will open one In this
country, and every forge that h extin,
guished there will be started anew here.
Altogether the United States have every
prospect of deriving incalculable benefits
from the gigantic struggle which will soon
be shaking the Old World to its very
Nantra

WRoNas done by nations always come
back TO plague the perpetrators. England,
France and Turkey, after waging relent-
less wsr against Russia In the Crimea and
humbling her in tho dust, bullied her like
. ruffisn through the treaty OF Paris by
forcing her feet out Of the Black sea-
But to-day. when peace between Russia
and Turkey seems impossible, the latter
plants herself upon that treaty. and as a
last resort England proposes to revise 1t
and restore Russia to her former position.

BLUE TIMES IN IOWA.

Samuel Sinnett writes from Musca-
tine, Iowa, that the farmers in that
region are nearly all burdened down
with mortgages. and adds:
This money is furnished by the
National Loan and Trust Company of
New London, Connecticut. The
western agents loan the money at 10
per cent, five per cent. addition for
agent fees. for obtaining the loan.
, ID more for drawing up the papers.
and another fee or two for getting alb
Stract of title. ETC., and thus in open
defiance of the usury law of the State
money is openly loaned at these rates,
and the grand jury, whose business it
is to inquire into those violations Of
law, pay no attention to it. But there
IS something far worse behind. In all
those loans there are certain bonds or
papers drawn up and signed (but kept
out OF sight as much as pOsslble.) SIM
liar to our National bonds with inter-
est coupons attached, payable semi
annually; each coupon is signed by the
borrower and is to all intents an iron
clad note. which if not paid promptly
the moment it is due closes the whole
transaction, leaving the borrower to
pay all costs. penalties. and reasonable
attorneys fee. (which means Sl0O.)
The interest named on these bonds IS
7 per cent. Now this mystified me till
saw its purpose. The difference be-
tween the and the 10 per cent. the
New England Co. receives, and the
object of these handsome bonds. (they
are better got up than the National
bonds.) is to put them on foreign
market when money only commands
per cent. These bonds being Sc
cured on unincumbered real estate at
one-third of it's valuation. is one of the
safest investments to be found in the
world. and the difference between 8
per cent. and per cent. will leave
quite a nice margin for high pre-.
MUM. One established in this county
has loaned as high as S25O,OOO per
month, whilst the government that
should protect and aid the citizens put
on the screws, taxes him till taxation
has become oppression. and give all
the aid and assistance to the Shylocks
who like vampires are seeking the life
blood of the nation and sacrificing the
dearest rights and privileges Of the
people, our best men are fast goinp
under. The enterprising succumf
