The evening Argus. [volume] (Rock Island, Ill.) 1861-1871, 1867-01-02

Our democratic exchanges generally are CON-
planning that their patronage is not as good as it
ought to be, either in subscription or job work.
Why this should be we cannot conceive; IN
less the democracy are determined to starve
their party papers ont as the surest method OF
breaking up their own party organization One
of the principal wrongs which democrats visit
upon their own papers is in insisting upon hav-
ing the paper on credit, and then forgetting to
pay for it; this IS so in a majority of cases.
This sort of business. with printing material and
labor at enormous figures is ruinous,-no hon
orable publisher stand it lie is bound to
succumb. Some publishers may worry along for
season by mourning debt upon PLAUSIBLE yarns
and false statements Of the magnitude Of their
business; but their calamity is inevitable, and
it will be all the worse when it does come, be
cause it will involve their crcdelous friends with
them.
We believe, from all we can learn, that demo-
Gratis are not supporting their county organs as
they ought to. This indifference will show itself
in the future effectiveness of the patty organiZa-
ton, To infuse newspaper with life and ZEAL
give it a hearty and remunerative support,so that
its publishers thoughts may not forever be upon
the rack how to get money to pay his debts and
run his office We trust our democratic friends
will think of this, and determine to commence
the new year by giving to their party organs a
better support than they have ever given them
before Carthage Republicans.

Amain travelled road from Rock Island

through thickly-ssttled farming
several hou,ishing villages, but
sre Is no legally established mail route
pm Rock Island to Centre Ridge. Four
bars ago contract Yves let, by the post-mas-
general, over this route, but when it ex-
red no proposals were asked for its renew
and the. people on that line were left des-
ute of any mail facilities until they raised
oney by private subscription and hired a
an to carry the mail. They then got an or
" from the post Office department for the
all, and it Is now carried over that route
aree times week, each way, at the private
Spense of the citizens, while the post Office
apartment receives the; revenue from the
oss Offices on the route.
This route should be established by law,
nd we suggest to the people on the route to
ct up petitions, immediately, setting forth
lis state q acts, and asking that the route
establiS & by law. Send the petitions to
lon. A. Harding, our member of congress,
wri to him soliciting his aid in getting

New York has transported b,500,00 tons of
merchandise per annum; and if censl could be
made of the length and size of the Erie canal
which would accommodate an equal amount of
traffic, when all those improvements under consid
Grafton shall be made, they will bring into an
amount of $4,000 miles of internal navigation
The coasts of the Mississippi and of the lakes
are more in extent thu the coasts Of the Atlantic
and Pacific. The government is spending money
all the time upon the coast of the Atlantic ana
upon the coasts of the lakes. Should it not
spend something on the coasts of the Mississippi?
When the state of New York asked for congress-
ional aid towards the completion of the Erie can
al, they signed petitions to have the work done
by congress; but it was 81 in vain. New York
had to con- plete the crnal OF their own expense
An amount equal to SAC, 10000 or $50, geo,
600. The state of Illinois has now more land
under cultivation than New York. When man
is asked to make statistical prediction in re-
gard to tue products of the western states, he
can hardly ever estimate it. At Fond du Lac,
in Wisconsin, 200, 100000 feet of lumber are
sold in yea; in Oshkosh an equal amount is
sold, and when canal is constructed along the
Rock river, all that lumber trade would come
down this way. At present the iron of Lake
Superior is sent to Pennsylvania because coal ia
found there; but if a canal were constructed
from Green Bay to the mouth of Rock river, the
iron from that district would meet the coal from
Illinois and large cities like Birmingham, in
England, would spring up somewhere along the
route of the can Along the route of the Rock
river Improvement, there IS no place where good
building store cannot be obtained within three
mics of where it is needed. The proposed canal
commences at Fond du Lac, and proceeds by
direct Eue to Lake Horizon, both for navigation
and for reservoir. 1t then leaves it and passet
from Lake h.ricon "a miles TO Watertown. Is
then pursues Rex river to this place. The
whole length of the canal will be two hundre and
eighty-seven and a half miles. The channel is
constantly interrupted by sleck-water, and
there are about seventy miles Of slack
