Daily Davenport Democrat. [volume] (Davenport, Iowa) 1864-1874, 1867-01-26

davs ago that a bill for char,erng
COMPANY for the construction of horse
railroad between Moline and Rock Island, is
before the Legislature Of Illineis. Inc No.
line Republican, decidedly opposes the pro-
ject, and is much surprised to learn that
the enterprise originated with the solid men
Of that place. 1t reproaches with . negl.
gence in not endeavoring to concentrate bu,
siness there, and thinks every dollar invest
81 in outlets for local trade, is bonus Of
fred against their own citizens, and in ia
vor Of Davenport and Rock Island. Moline
is destined by nature. and BY the enterprise
Of its own citizens, to be, at no distant day,
. great manufacturing point As com>
mercial point, however, it has very few al
vantages Its merchants never will
DO able to compete successfully
With those cf Davenport and Rock
Island, and tie sooner this point is admit
ted. the better it will he for all parties cons
sernsi. The main portion of the trade Of
the place now comes to this city AID Rock
Island, and always will, and any attempt TO
change its course will prove utterly fruit
less. On tie o.her hand. if the horse rails
road 10 built, Is it certainly will be, Moline
will eventually become u Part Of Rock
Island which is mucf0et'cr than being all
out, post. The wants Of the public demand
the proposed improvement, aud the inter
ests OF few merchants and traders viii lie
unable to offer any eiFeciual resistance. We
hops to see the Republican reconsider the
matter, and use its influence ior the good cf
the whole town.
