The people of Little Rock prob
ably know where their interest is
without being told by st. Louis,
and are supposed to be able to take
care Of themselves. The st. Louis
Daily Journal, however, undertakes
to prove that Little Rock is to be a
great trade center, and will be if she
only cuts off from Memphis and
Louisville. The Gazette gulps this
down at a single swallow and calls
it a "well-timed article" The
people, we venture to say-the
capitalists and tax-payers-cannot
be hattered from a source which
has only injured the city. Every
body knows that the Iron Mountain
road was built and is run entirely
in the interest of st. Louis, and to-
day charges as much for bringing
a bale Of cotton from Texarkana to
Little Rock as for carrying it all
the way to st. Louis. The road
treats Little Rock as a way station,
the same as Malvern Junction or
any little place by the wayside.
Nearly all the cotton and
grain trade north Of Little Rock
is forced to st. Louis by discrimi-
mating rates. The road has ignored
Little Rock interests and carried
off the trade that naturally belongs
there, and has done more in the last
few years to iniure the business oil
that place than all other causes com.
