To rnE PEopLE OF KEoKuK.-An appeal
the construction Of that North Railroad.
We hope that our people will take hold Of
this project determined TO put it through.
Let each u an do. not the least, but the ut
most in the way Of contribution. Henry
county is ready to put the road through that
county, and is already doing it. Washington
county is ready to put the road through that
county, and is already doing it. So j, john
son county. A large part Of the road norsh>
ward is already completed. Whenever We
have completed our end Of the road to Mt.
Pleasant, the whole line will be in readiness
TO pour into keokuk trade that, making its
terminal depo. in the richest part of Minne-
sofa, will gather its contributed trade

most .hickly populated part Of Iowa. This
ia the tide that, taken At the food, will bear
keokuk on to Fortune. For few years our
city, prostra,e by il-directed over-exertion
and over growth, rested psralyzed. Then
We said Oh for . canal! aud Obi for null
tipled railroads! and oh. for multiplying
manufactures. Now We have the commence
ment OF work upon the canal. That will do
no good unless We make it do US good. I'm
less We take the present as the opportune
moment to multiply our activities and inau-
gurA,e enterprises that will bring hither cap>
ital and produce and labor. Capital, labor,
manufactures, will come If We will furnish
that that will maintain and remunerste them
when they shall come You say if you are
already paying so high taxes, and your prop.
er.y cannot be sold at what you could once
gut for it, that you cannot afford more outlay
or increased taxation. Well, ,is either 90 up
or go entirely down. II your property is
ever to become valuable, if you are over to
get quid pre- qso for the taxes you have al
ready paid, and the money you have already
invested, it can only b. by the growth of Ke>
okuk. And that will not be until we turn to
with viii to make it grow.
And Ksokuk is bound to prosper. Its se-
ographical position and relation to trade
lines, and its rich material resources, insure
its prosperous future. 1t is for you to decide
whether yon or others shall be sharers In that
prosperity. You have been with il in adver
sity; determine to share its better fortune
And as means largely conducting to that
better future, let NJ pat that North road
through, And do it 1t once.
