1t Cincinnati for partial advances on con-
Nor win The farmers be under the
necessity Of running around to hunt up some
body Who will pay cash, and At last, IN de-
spsir, sell on the faith that Chicago or st.
Louis buyers will pay Burlington and Kso-
k0k dealers in ninety days, q which tine
they have the prosliss Of their pay. Undsr
such arrangements our farmers win rsnen-
Der that there have been few dealers in the
market, and a. q general rule, prices have
been decidedly lower in Iowa conpassd
With ST. Lnnis and Cincinnati prices than
they should have been. The market for al
kinds Of producs has suffered in the same
way and for like reasons with the pork mar
kss, and viii be equally benefited with that
under the new Constitution.
With Banks established in our midst, men
who desire to engage in the pork Or produce
businsss, will always be accommodated with
the necessary means to buy at reasonable
rates, and till such times ~ they can receive
returns from thsir sales. This facility Of
doing business will increase the number Of
buyers and keep up such healthy compsti.
ton ~ will secure our farmers good money
and the best prices that can be afforded for
oil that they raise or prodsos. In eonnec-
ton with this, there 10 snetAer important
reason why tho De- Moinss Valley should 70
unanimously in favor Of the new Constitu
ton. The Capital Of the State win be con-
s.itationally and permanently 6xed at .
commanding point in the Valley. And the
fact that the Capital is thus permanently To-
Gated, will have vast influence in aiding
the construction Of thoroughfares through
the Valley, and increasing the immigration
Of population and capital. Let the Capital
be permanently settled at Dss Moines, and
who will doubt that railroad from Keokuk,
the commercial emporium Of the Valley, 70
the Capital, in the heart Of the State, would
payl Whs would hesitate to invest IN such
road? We have not the slightest doubt
that the adoption Of the new Consultation
would be worth more than million Of dol
lars, in county bonds, to tho stock Of that
road. And We urge every man who 10 in
favor Of the road to rally to the support Of the
Constitution, ~ one Of the most efiectual
means towards securing its speedy construo-
ton.
With the community Of interest which
would grow up all along the line, from the
chief commercial city to the Capital Of the
State, and with the influence Of these united
interests and the money power concentrated
at Keokuk, and diaused At proper points
through the Valley, all its interests Of agri-
culture, commerce, man ufactures and inter.
nal improvements, would receive an impetus
and secure fostering influence which would
soon render the Dcs Moines Valley one Of
the most productive, prosperous and popu-
lous, a. il 10 already one Of the most bsAsti-
full in the country.
c. The free Banks of Indiana held . con-
vention At Indianapolis, . few days since, for
the purpose OF establishing common bank
at tho Capital for the redemption Of their
bills, the regulation Of exchange, &C., and
also to perfect such arrangements ~ shall
