To the Editor of the Evrxrya Stan. 1 noticed your editorial on the Georgetown Gas company, in which you very properly say that ten per cent net profit is a large interest in these days of cheap mones, when capitalists are glad to get from three to six percent. But if ten per cent on the capital actually invested is too much, what shall be said of the Washington Gas company which, as shown by the sworn statement of its treasarer, has for years taken from the public over twenty-two per cent net on its watered stock! In the investigation last winter, its nt sald they could riot sell gas at $1.25 and inake any money. Still, in order to prevent the of the biti reported by Senator r, the com. pany, during the recess, reduced the price to $1.25, and 1 notice that the stock, even with gas at $123, commands almost one hundred per cent. premium im the market, its face, value Being se, and the = Is price being $38.50, the asking price $39 or No citizen desires to injure the and no one objects to the company receiving @ fait in- terest on the capital actually invested, Anything over «nd above that is simply legalized robbery the eftizens and the government. The price at which gas has heretofore been sold here or elsewhere ts no crit for two reasons— fist, Decause it has paid unreasonable profits; and because recent improvements enables it to be produced very ‘much cheaper than Torin erly. For instance, ag shown by a paper read at the annual meeting of the Gas Light association at Cincinnatt, October 22d, 1885, and at the an- nual meeting of the Central N.¥. Gas Engineers’ association, at 3 ‘May 21st, 1885, 1t 1s shown that by actual operation Fick ot 11,301 feet of gan'per tates eda she ta Field 3 coal, the being 19 3°20 candle power.” This ts equivalent to 14,1065 feet Of 16 candle power, which is What we Mr. Melihenns, the president of the com: here, testified that they could get but. 10, Paz fon of coal, and that was 16 candle power. ‘See his testimony, page 58. Here, then, according to the statements of the gas men themselves: is\2 | giiin of almost fifty per cent by this one improve- ment, and that, too, in coal gas—not_ water gas, So it Will readfly be'seen that former figures a3 to the price of selling, or the cost of production, is no Present time. Of course, a small concern ‘Ike that of George- town, with but abont 800 consumers, cannot furnish gas as cheaply ascan the Wnshington companys, with its 15,000 consumers and the gov- ernment besides. AU the sume time, it 1s unrea- sonable and unjust to require peopl on one side of Rock ereek to pay 75 per cent more for gus than feet, those on the other side. ‘This, of course, grows out of the fact that separate is gas works wese estab. ied in the two places when they were entirely | we antl distinet corporations. ‘It. is. simpiy ~ of the results of the former condition of wr Which no one ts to de blamed.

The latter, in referring to one from Mr. Douglass ‘that the labor party of New York may receive due consideration, claims ‘that no authority has been given for the labor ty, to attend the convention. It is clalmed hat the basis of resentation cannot commend itself. “The organized labor of our great cities,’ At says, “Will be chary of entering a convention Wherein representatives of people's parties, sol- diers’ organizations and the like are \itted on a footing of equality with those of the farmers and workingmen of our country.” In referring to an insinuation that the monopolists will have their delegates St the convention in the shape of labor- ing men, the circular says: “If you will consider our of forming clubs of 100 mem Bak, “ceaeres "S gire iat "ke : yy men i chosing.
