LETTER FROM THE WEST.
NUMBER THREE.

Rock ISLAND, ILL. June 1878.
This place is an island in the Mis-
sissippi River, situated between the
city of Rock Island, Illinois, and the
city of Davenport Iowa. This island
contains 5000 acres Of splendid land -,
and is noted for several reasons. 1t
was the place where Col. Davenport
was murdered in 1912, by six roughs,
for his money, three of whom were
hung ; one turned States evidence and
two got away. Rebel prisoners were
kept here during the rebellion, and
near the center of the Island is the
burial grounds of rebel as we'll as I'M
ion soldiers. A portion of the rebel
dead have been removed South, but g
great many still remain on the island
The bridge across the two forks OF
the river and point Of the Island is
asplended structure, costing not less
than $3,000,000. The railway and
carriageway rest upon the same piers
the railroad track being built above
the main bridge. This part was built
by the Government and railroad com.
panies. Col. Davenport, at the time
Of his death, owned one eighth Of the
land; since that time the Govern
ment has bought his share of his heirs
and now owns the entire Island. The
Government has laid out two million
of dollars annually since the close OF
the rebellion in the Improvement OF
the channel Of the river, and building

Free Trade and Democracy,

The New York World, which is, per-
haps, the leading Democratic authori-
ty in the United States, has q lengthy
editorial article. in almost V Nv issue
on the subject of Free Trade. 1t is
difficult to determine the attitude of
parties three wears hence. or to fore
tell the issues that will be brought
forward most prominently. We
agree with the World, however, that
The hopes of the Democracy lie in the
direction of Free Trade. With the
South and the West united, as they
be readily on a Free Trade plat
form, there is no earthly reason why
they may not name the next Presi-
dent, and, in fact, shape the whole poll
icy of the Government but to ac-
com plish this there must be no more
trucking to Pennsylvania, New
York, or New England. The South
and West are abundantlv able t win
the fight if they make it unitedly.
The people Of the Pacific coast are
likewise unanimous for Free Tr ,de if
they but consult their own immediate
interests in the premises. We manu-
facture scarcely anything west of the
Rocky mountains, and it is obviously
10 our advantage to buy our wares in
that portion of the civilized world
where we can obtain them the cheap
est. The high protective tariff sys-
tenn works as great a hardship on the
people Of this coast as any other por-
ton of the Union. Let us see wheth-
err the political parties will meet the
issues squarely in the next Presiden-
tial campaign. Free Trade should
have been the stoutest plank in the
Observation-Disclosures platform last
