Our jebbefs tell Us Il will build up the

port at - Low figure - they can b lsodsd
in Chicago. By the way Of Peoria the dis
lance from the Eastern market over the
Pennsylvania Road to this city Is only about
l4O miles further than BY way Of Chicago.
For this short distance there will not be any
increase Of freight in the face Of the conn
peting line BY way Of Chicago.
We Therefore save the freight on Ill goods
from Chicago to this Place BY having this
new line.
We fad The ssesipss Of merchandise for
The four weeks ending May 18th, 1867 to
b. 1850 tons. The freight on this from
Chicago plaeed at the low figure Of 2b cents
PEE husdrsd gives % &7.75o. Now allow
ing u per ton 70 pav the freight on the lao
miles, provided that distance sheald make
difference and We have over six thousand
dollars saved 70 the business Of this city in
four weeks and that too whom the receipts
wers camparativsly small. In one year this
would give Us over @7S,OOO. Take this
amount and the t25. 900 saved toths city in
the matter of coal - ws sndeavored TO show
yesterday, and then add to this the amount
that wopld BE- saved IN the shipping Of eat
tie. hoss end grain Of alllkinds, end the sds
vantsess to the travelling public. and Il
vsuld seem perfectly reasonable to expect
subscription Of 81 least 100000,
. little over half tho saving Of
ocs year, to the capital stock Of this road
II cur me'chants will takst freight bills
and make an allowance pro rata for the sx-
IRA distance between Chicago and the East.
and this place and the HasS and then take
the amount saved In one year and subscribe
to this enterprise, We venture the assertion
is will more than hll the bill. II will give
Us the road. One half the rise on property
in this city and county will alone give us oil
that the corporatoss ask Of US. five con,
suit our interests as city seeking tho trade
Of our own::State. We must urge this enter.
prise--we must have this road. As the
matter nov stands. Chicago takes the trade
that belongs to Davenport.
