How They Love the Foreigners

The following sentence appears in
the Springfield 0llD Republican, a
black republican organ, Of May 18th :
ave cannot drive an ignorant Irish
man or Dutchman to do what an in
telligent American knows to be his
duty"
1t appears that these black republi-
cans have been attempting to drive
the Germans and Irish into the sup
port OF niggcrism. and failed-for they
acknowledge it can't be did. That's
so. Before election, these black re-
publicans were wonderful friendly with
the adopted citizens but after election
is oyer, they dcnounce them as ''igno-
rant lrishmen and Dutchmcn." He
would be an Ignorant" Irish or Ger
man, sure enough, who couldn't see
the transparent hypocricy of these
black republicans who profess to be
his friends. To their credit be 1t said
that bnt few Germans, and no homes
lrishman is ignorant enough to al
low the black republicans to lead him
about by the nose. That is so, too

8. But, in one respect railroads
have tended TO enhance prices. This
is by the great number Of men they
have taken from other employments.-
These are a clear addition to the num-
Der Of consumers. Hence they, like
towns, SO far tend to diminish the num-
Der Of producers. This is the only in
duence railroads can possibly have in
enhancing prices.
6. But, on the other hand, they do
,xert powerful influence IN increas
ing production. 1t is in this way =
Take the case we put of million OF
bushels of wheat, with nothing but
wagon road. Now, the moment the
railroad is made, and the freight cars
running, this wheat is worth 80 cents
bushd more 10 The farmer that 1t was
before. Now, in country like this,
where there is abundance OF unoccu-
pied land, this is premium for the
production of wheat. The city price,
il not reduced, but the farmers price
is largely raised. This 80 cents a bus
hel, therefore, is a premium for the
production cf wheat. II is three hand
red ond ftty dollars on a Thousand
bushels. 1t follows inevitably that a
great deal more wheat will he raised +,
and the tendency OF that is to reduce
the city prices.
In reviewing what We have said,
the conclusion 10 that the railroad, Ms a
mere machine TO transport products,
has no influence on prices; that, as an
Employer Of large numbers Of men, it,
tendency is to enhance prices; but, as
increasing the farmers profits, its ten
'ency is to increase production, and
then diminish prices.
Taking the Influences all together,
it is probable that railroads have had
very little influence either way on the
market prices. They have given great
facilities to merchants and profits to
farmers, but the causes which influence
prices are beyond them. High as all
prices OF food are, we can see no chance
Of reduction, except 10y increasing pro
ductioa. How shall this be done -
This is one Of the great problems OF
the day.-Hou Rood Journoi.

In another column our readers will
find . communication from one Of our
most influential citizens upon the sub
ject Of the proposed Railroad Loan.
Although we publish the letter by re-
quest, that our readers may see the
views Of those opposed to the loan, We
cannot endorse its sentiments or sug
gcstions. We know that there are
considerable number Of wealthy and
influential citizens Of Davenport who
seriously question the proprety OF
sugmenting the debt Of the City, by
what TO them seems questionable policy,
in aiding mere branch railroad, for
the purpose of securing the little trade
which the Cedar Valley would have
with us, and for the reason that the
Clinton Railroad will tap the same
section with an eastern outlet, and
nearer route than that ria Daven port
and the c. q r. |. X. K. Others
assume that trade and travel seeks
eastern and western channels and not
Northern and Southern, and that the
Mississippi n Missouri Railroad should
first be built, before building any
branches. We confess that it is of vital
importance that the NJ. & NJ. X. X.
should be extended Immediately to
Council Bluffs, AS it will become the
greatest highway Of travel in the State
when completed, but for some cause,
that Company is building the Musca
tine and Oskaloosa brancl, and ncglec-
ting this NJ. Il NJ. X. r., extension
west altogether. There is some cause.
We cannot tell what it is, but of this
we are certain, that if the Directors OF
that Company fail to build their road,
or rather delay the building of it for a
few years, it becomes quite necessary
for our city to open new channels OF
trade, in other directions. 1t is true
that the taxation consequent upon the
adoption Of the loan will be somewhat
onerous, but that we must submit to
fora short time, if we would preserve
our ascendancy in the State. Nom Is
The critical period Of or cify's pros
per,ty. II We fail to make the proper
exertions now, to pcrpctuatc the name
We have already acquired, OF Emporium
OF the State, we must be content To
remain stationary. In view of the
confilctlng sentiments upon this subject
We heartily desire that public meet
ing be at once called that the matter
may be fully discussed, and voters ma,
comprehend what they do and the
necessities calling for the loan. We
speak onl y for ourselves in saying tina,
we hope the loan viii be carried and
the Railroad constructed.

THE DAY OF HIGH PRICES--IN
FLUENCE OF RAILROADS.

In the valley Of the Ohio no such
period Of high prices, both relatively
and absolutely, was ever known. The
prices which obtained in 1886 were
high in comparison with those OF any
previous period, but were but little
over half the prices of May, 1897. The
comparative prices are as follows:
