PERFECTLY NArURA,-We are not at all
surprised to hear that Majn Gould, of Cam
bridge,one of the directors of thesew Peoria
railroad company, is advising people Il Henry
county to discontinue the ARGUS. because he
ARGUS don't throw up its hat for every scheme
invented to get the people in this town to vote
tax upon their property to extend the re.
oria railroad, 1t is not surprising. 1t Is
perfectly in accordance with the spirit Of
radicalism everywhere. TIA newspaper ven.
lures to have an opinion of its own, 'Scut OF
its patronage, starve out its editor and moi
the printing oficeI That's the spirit o.
radicalism. That is the radical idea of free
speech and the freedom of the press, and
therefore we are not surprised that the small
brain of Major Gould cannot comprehend
anything beyond his own selfish or persona
ends. We can tell him and all like him
that their efforts to circumscribe our circula
ton, cut off our patronage or control TIKI
voice of our paper will do themselves NOR
harm than good.
