miles to st. Louis, is rapidly progressing. in time
for the movement of the coming gI ain crops, which,
it is estimated, will double the present income OF
the road. +.
The established character of this road running as
it does through the heart of the tbicky settled
and richest portion of the great State of Iowa, to-
gether with its present advanced condition and large
earnings warrant us in unhesitatingy recommending
these BOMBS to investors. as in every respect,

completed, which will be this Fall, an immediate
advance over subscrition price may be looked for.
These bonds have % years to run, convertible
at the option OF the holder into the stock OF the
pany at par, and the payment of the principal is
provided for by sinking fund. The convertibility

The hypocrisy of the protectionists
in congress who profess to feel pro-
foundry sorrowful over the enormous
taxation imposed on the people, is be-
coming more apparent every day. They
now propose to greatly reduce, or entire
" abolish, the duties on tea. coffee, and
sugar, and are pathetic and eloquent in
speaking of the burdens those duties
impose On poor men. On this point
let commissioner Wells speak:
"The present tariff on tea, sugar and
coffee taxes the consumer Of the United
States approximately as follows: COT
fee, one and half cents per week, per
capita tea, one cent per week, per
capita sugar, one and 4 half cents per
week, per capita or an aggregate of
four cents per week and from these
taxes the government derives almost the
entire benefit, 4 revenue Of over fifty
millions per annum. Can anyone name
three other taxes on the whole list of
imports and excuses which produce so
great reform with so little of discom-
tort, and SO little an enhancement of
the cost of general production"
The commissioner estimates that the
Tariff cn WOODEN blankets costs the poo
ole nearly nine millions of dollars d
year. On these articles the govern
laent derives Int an insignificant
revenue.
On abort dozen articl,s which
might be named, tho government de-
rives revenue from custom duties of
ten millions of dollars year, and the
tariff on them costs the people sixty
millions Of dollars year If the tariff
is to be cut down, let it be on articles
on which monopolies arc not now grant
ed to home manufacturers. BY this
policy both the treasury and the people
will be protected
