thoroughfare and as such fully establishes
its claim to the postoffice.
THE NEW OFFICE.
G. H. Deere some time ago purchased
the store owned by Eric Okerberg, and
now occupied by Jasper s. MacEnary as
saloon. Mr.. Deere also owns the build
ing adjoining and used at present by L.
Tengleblade as a hat and cap store. These
buildings Mr. Deere proposes to convert
into the postefflce He also is going TO
build an additional story upon the two
buildings making il three story block.
The improvements will doubtless com
mence at once.
HOW 1T WAS DONE.
Some time ago two postoffice inspectors
were in the city looking the ground over,
they were not satisfied with the present
site and consulted several of our citizens
in regard to change. Mr.. Deere made
them proposition as also did Mr.. Vince
lock, the former was received with more
favor than the latter. 1t is a we'll known
fact that the accommodations the present
office w ere inadequate and that more room
would have TO be had. Mr.. Deere, with
the public spirit which he has manifested
at all times, offered to give Moline mod
el Office and the government could no:
conscientiously overlook this proposition
if il felt inclined to- and that u new post
a fl no xx,ilI no hnilf IN tho naPnar Of Main
and Lynde streets is a foregone concln
sion The merchants of Main street are
jubilant and in fact the majority OF the
entire population of Moline will herald
the event with rejoicing. People can, as
soon as the new Office is ready, drive
their horses to the postoffice and hitch
them without fear of locomotive soaring
the daylights out of them. Women,
children and business men will not have
to wait from five to fifteen minutes for a
train of cars TO complete their switching
before they can cross the track There
are a thousand and one reasons why the
new location is the best and most advan-
tageous and to enumerate them would be
legion.
c. II. DEERE.
To Mr.. Deere the citizens of Moline
certainly owe a debt of gratitude. OF
course he is wealthy man and expects
to lose nothing by his venture, yet at the
same time the entire populace derives a
long wished and long looked for benefit
by Mr. Deeres enterprising and pnblic
spirit, He has at all times and under all
circumstances been ready in whatsoever
the occasion. to help the city of Moline
onward in her progressive march of pros
perity and industry, and should his ex-
ample be followed after by citizens equally
able to patfonize it, Moline would receive
boom that would increase the value of
real estate in this CITY ten fold

tariff for protection and not for rev.
enue-but as expressed by the origi-
nal founders of Democracy and In
cOrporated into the platforms of the
five States named.
Simplified, the doctrine is this !:
That in raising revenue by duties
on imported goods, Congress shall
have the power to adjust these du-
ties so as TO give encouragement to
home enterprise and home labor.
The proposition is certaily plain
enough the details are for the con-
sideration and action of Congress,
and, as long as men have different
interests, they will differ as to the
adjustment of such matters. The
only question now before the people
is: Shall we, in making tariff for
revenue, adjust it so as to prevent
foreign cheap capital and labor from
destroying our own industries and
driving American labor from our
shops aud factories?
Instead of meeting this simple
question, the advocates of tariff
for revenue only make great to-do
over the danger of having foreign
markets closed against uS. How or
when this is to be done no one has
yet explained. England opens her
markets to us. Her policy is to adj
NIT the raw material free, and as a
banter to the rest of the world, she
also admits manufactured goods
free. Knowing her cheap labor
would make her omnipotent in
America, she hoped to beguile us
into free trade likewise. No states
man of this country, looking at the
question as national one, has ven-
tured 10 give his adhesion to doc
'rine so anti-American in concep-
ton and fraught with such disas-
trous consequen ces should we follow
the advice of these Golden Club
wiseacres and adopt it as the policy
of our Government.

THE Chattanooga Democrat dis
poses of the Southern man. for Vice
President issue in the following
neat and terse fashion:
The Democrat is quite Southern
sh i'm its inclinations and would
delight to see one of the South's
statesmen placed upon the Presi-
Dental ticket if such thing would
not weaken il. But it is a matter
of so little importance to the Dem
ocratic party where the candidate
resides that il seems the mereSt fol-
Iy to insist upon putting a man in
the race from any section which is
liable to lose the ticket any of the
confidence and enthusiasm necessa-
nv to insure its success. The issues
OF the war have passed away, to be
sure, and feelings OF concord and
amity exist between the sections
now In such a degree that If let
alone awhile longer the memories
of the bitterness which succeeded
the strife will be forgotten. But to
nominate Southern man now, for
no other reason than he lives in the
South, would call up the ghost Of
rebellion and frighten the timid
souls Of many Northern brothers
into the ranks OF the enemy.

Aspect of the Tariff Discussion.
Nashville unnriaan

The success OF the Democracy IS
at this time a matter of the greatest
moment, and the reasons are appar-
ent to all who differ with the Re-
publican party in its policy and ten
dency. The conservative course of
the former on the tariff question in
four of the most important States,
is approved by all Democrats except
a few men who have fOOlishly wan
dered off in the advocacy of i'm
practicable free trade theories.
The situation is about as follows
The whole party, North and South,
with the exception of this small fac
ton, is satisfied with the declaration
made in Ohio, Virginia, Pennsyl-
vania and New Jersey, which is in
substance, that the tariff shall be so
laid as to collect no more revenue
than is sufficient TO support the Gov
eminent economically administered,
but, in levying the tariff, it must be
so done as to encourage American
labor and home industries. This is
but a repetition of the platform
adopted the year before in Indiana,
and is, in fact, the old established
Wings, in former days, may have
gone further, but this principle, as
enunciated i'm recent platforms, has
been upheld by every national Dem
Ocrat from Jefferson to Polk.
Upon this state of facts, what is
wise and prudent, pending a Presi-
Dental election of great moment :?
What should the Democrats do :?
Make war on incidental protection,
and those who advocate il, and di-
vide the party upon an issue which
it cannot possibly settle at present !?
Will any but frenzied free trader
pretend that is wise?
Suppose there was a respectable
minority differing with the policy
laid down by the Democrats in the
five States above mentioned, would
ii be either safe or sensible to divide
on that policy nova policy involv-
ing question which can have no
solution until the Democrats obtain
control of the Government
But this is yielding too much.

vided on the tariff question. AS

day in an interview published in

Democratic party is made of work.

afford to adopt policy which will

Sound Doctrine.

One of the professors of Princeton
college in his address to the students
called attention to the fact that there
was too much athletics in the colleges
and not enough brain work. He said
one is impressed with the fact that in
strolling about the colleges of the coun.
try nothing can be heard about educa-
tional matters and the subject of books
seldom enters the minds of the students,
but athletic sports occupy their whole
time and attention. This professor has
struck a key note, and called attention
to an evil that should be stopped. A
moderate dose eff athletic sports mixed
in with a thorough college education
will not injure the young men who are
graduating from the colleges of the
country, but when the students get the
idea, as they seem to have, that mus
cles like a prize-fighter and hand like
a baseball is all that is essential to q
college education, then it is time for
reform. There is no question but that
one-half of the young men in college
think vastly more of cultivating their
muscles than they do of cultivating
their brains, and it is time the colleges
of the country were transformed from q
gymnasium into school for cultivating
the intellect. Millions of dollars have
been spent in erecting colleges, and
thousands of dollars are yearly spent in
sending young men to these schools Of
learning and keeping them there, to
have them graduate, or leave in a few
years with nothing to show for their
time spent in college except knowl-
edge of how to row boat or play q
game of ball. 1t is seldom one hears
of the progress of the several classes in
the colleges except it be in the line of
boat-racing or winning game of base
ball, or hazing fellow member, and un-
less there is reform inaugurated, and
the colleges pay more attention to books
and less to athletic sports, the public
will soon think that the senaing of our
young men to college is useless piece
Of extravagance. AS it now is there
are more young men from the bottom
of the ladder of mercantile life, and
from the farm. filing the counting
rooms, and the college graduate is
forced to the farm or lumber-yard to
earn living. The Princeton professor
is sound and he should be supported in
his theories. Picks Sun.
