It has been known in railroad cir.
cles for some time past, that the road
bed Of the old Iowa Central in Black
Hawk and Tama counties, was not to
remain much longer unoccupied. TO
speak OF q road from Grinnell to
Winona, is but referring to . project
that has been carefully thought out.
While we have known Of the efforts
that were being advanced by the
several interests, we have carefully
avoided saying anything until the
project had developed into some
thing tangible. The time has now
arrived, which will warrant US an.
nouncing to our people, that the
road through Cedar Fails, will be-
built at an early day. At meeting
held at Grinnell last week, . company
was organized, AMI articles Of incor-
poration signed. It is to be called
the GrinneIl, Cedar Falls and
Winona Railroad. TO enter in to =
detail OF the proceedings, are not
deemed necessary.
1t will be referred from what We
have thus stated, that President Gil.
man Of the Central Iowa is at the
helm Of this important project. This
of itself is evid. nee sufficient to as.
sure the early completion Of the road.
A construction company will be or
ganlzed at once and work will be
commenced as early as the weather
will permit. along the line between
Grinncll and Cedar Falls. What
our people will be required to do has
not yet been determined, but will
probably be the preparing OF the
road bed through Hack Hawk coun-
ty;a portion Ut which il already
built. II is confidently expected by
Mr.. Gilman that the road will be
completed rs tar as this point this
year. As 10 the feasibility OF the
route, We refer our readers 10 an ar
tlclc, and proceedings Of a meeting
held in Winona recently, which We
take from the Daily Republican oi

first and second pages .. to days pa.
per. Wino"a. the proposed terminus,
is fourishing place Of some 10000
inhabitants. and her people are fully
awake to the Importance Of the road.
The route will be nearly North and
South. With this road, we will have
easy access to the coal beds OF Ma
haska county, the best in the State ;
aud al;o to the lumber market Of
Winona. Lumber is selling five dol.
lars per thousand cheaper in Winona
than any other market TO which We
now have access, with our present
railroad facilities. The building ot
this road ix OF vital interest to the
people Of Cedar Falls. 1t establishes
this point as a railroad center and
places our city beyond a pcr-a,lvcn.

Free Trade 70. Protection.

Our readers will rccollect that two
weeks ago we headed an article "ls
it RightI" in which we went on to
speak Of goods from bankrupt con.
Germs OF other localities being brought
here to be closed out to the in.
jury OF legitimate trade, and we stat.
ed that THE case is plain and the
rule OF pro, cction has general up.
plica,ion." The bringing in Of stocks
oi goods TO be sold 1t less than cost
opens the question OF tree trade or
protection, bringing it right home
to our comprehension snd under
standing. We, the older citizens Of
this city, have built up and created
what market we have. These I'M
provements are ours, built with our
money aud our taxes. We have Gro
Gerry stores, Dry Goods stores, &c.
Now the Free Trade theory says, let
all the broken down concerns OF
neighboring towns send their Gro
ceres, Dry Goods, Hardware, &C.,
here to be sold tor what they will
bring. What is the effect T! Every
one of these branches OF business
built up here are ruined, and broken
down. Protection says, Our bust
ness interests should and must be
protected. Why !? That they may
continue to prosper aud thrive aud
thereby build up the towns aud cOun.
Try hence We impose license which
should amount TO the difference be-
tween the absolute cost OF the article
less the right price At which it is sold.
This would place the goods on the
market ct their real cost, and this we
call . tariff. We understand all our
merchants are in favor OF heavy II.
ceuse on Auctioueer establishments,
hence must be oil Tariff men. We
want the Tariff TO protect our Manu-.
facturers from the cheap goods made
by pauper labor in the DID World,
20 that tue laborer may receive fair
price for his labor, aud home market
ior the products created. This ques.
ton OF Protection 10 American in
dus;ry is one that il will pay to study.
1t Protection be necessary TO create
manufacturing enterprises who will
question the policy! Suppo:e the
Wooden Mill now stsnding idle was
at work manufacturing cloth out Vt
wool would il not be wealth, money
in tact created. II 3l5O,0OO worth
Of cloth was made out OF 95O, 900
worth OF wool, would not the $780,.
900 be SO much gain to the locality,
and be in tact 50 much more money
in circulation. Who questions that
it would be more money in our peck
ct 10 create o voluntary tariff on
wooden goods by resolving TO buy
those manufactured here! Such u
step would start the Mill, develop
wealth in city and county, and de-
mand for skilled labor created and
maintained. Who does not favor
Tariff, and who would not ii they
could make local application OF the
pr,nciple?-[ Marshall Times.
