EDISON has conferred one benefit, at least,
upon the community. The rumors of the
discovery of an electric light and its utiliza-
ton for general use has created panic
among the gas companies, and already quite
number of them have reduced their rates
to consumers. There seems to be no doubt
but gas can be manufactured at a much low
er rate than is now charged, and the discov-
cry of means for lighting cities by electricity
promises to regulate prices all over the coun-
try, and knock off some of the profits of
the monopolies.

The Democrats of Iowa are seriously CON

They hold that the election of last week was
illegal because of the act of Congress passed
in 1873 fixing the election for members of
Congress on the first Tuesday after the first
Monday in November. This law was not in

In a recent speech, Hon Thomas
Ewing said:
Our people are in debt at least
twelve millions of dollars for govern
ment, individual and corporate obi.
cations. These debts represent an
annual interest charge OF eight OF
nine hundred millions year. Our
government taxes, national, state and
municipal, are about seven hundred
and fifty millions annually. ExcIud.
ing SIC taxes for interest on bonds,
the two sums together represent an
annual charge of nearly fifteen hun
dred millions year. This sum is
abont twice the amount Of the annual
increase of wealth in the United
STATES. after deducting living ex.
penses, and is equivalent to interest
at six per cent. on a sum greater than
the present selling value of all the
property, real and personal in the
United States.
The above is doubtless true. But
what an AWFUL TRUTH! The inter.
est twice the amount of the annual
increase of wealth in the United
States, proves as conclusively as that
two and two are four that unless this
interest is at once stopped it will alb.

total valuation of all the real and
personal property in the whole coun.
try and will certainly end in repudia.

The greenback proffers the only posi-

votes against this remedy, and votes
for our national death by reputation,

liability Of such eggs to burst their

this ingenius process old eggs, the
