Iowa CENTRAL RAILKoAD.-Many
have supposed that the recent sale
of this end Of the Iowa Central line
to the Oskaloosa interest, was vir
tual abandonment of the road in
Black Hawk and lama Counties
This is not the case. The prospects
we look upon as more favorable, as
Judge Sewers has expressed his
willingness to sell our people this end
OF the road for what the claims cost
them. The time has now come, we
believe, for securing the road bed,
without the possibility Of any draw
backs from tho lower end Of the
line. We have been shown letter
from VIM Edwards, of Keokuk, to
one OF our citizens, in which he cx-
presses a desire to unite the interests
of tho Iowa Central at Toledo, with
their road, the Kcokuk and Minneso-
ia. The Iowa Northern Central
road is being built from Keokuk to
Salem IN Henry county, and from Sa-
lem TO Mt. Pleasant. The KeoKuk

The Philosophy of Protection.

The following item was printed in
many of our exchanges some time
ago:
The State of California offers bounty of
$500 for each 100 900 good merchandise silk
cocoons, and $3.50 for each plantation Of S.
0O0 trees, or more, two years old, set OUT at
proper distances for permanent silk culture.
a similar kind OF legislation as
that above was inaugurated in this
State by Chapter %, Acts Of the 10Th
General Assembly, to encourage the
planting and growing of Timber,
Fruit Trees, Shade Trees, and Hcdg.
cs." The above act provides that
there shall be shall be exempt of the
real anil personal property Of the tax
payer who shall, within the State OF
Iowa, plant and cultivate one acre of
forest Or fruit trees, and for every
mile of shade trees or hedging, a GER
tain amount of money. In the one
case direct bounty is offered: in the
other remission Of taxes is awarded.
The principle is the same in both
cases.
The people Of California consider
tho climate of that State suitable to
the growth of the mulberry tree and
the raising of cocoons. But, to de-
termine If those trees can be profita-
bly, grown and those cocoons profit.
ably raised can only be done alter
experiments which cost money and
require time. To make it an object
to men OF capital to mako these ex-
periments, this bounty is offered by
the State. II these can be grown and
raised advantageously and profitably
many people OF that State will enter
into the business Of growing mulber
ny trees, and feeding cocoons; others
will 60 into the manufacture OF silk
goods. With the success of these
enterprises new means Of subsistence
are opened to many people in the
State now laborlcss, and an influx Of
capital into the State will follow.
On this capital taxes will be levied
