Nav Extend to Mineral Point.

Under this heading Is found the
following In the Dubuque Times of
last Thursday, July 9th:
The extension Of the Iowa, Illinois
& Wisconsin electric road from
Platteville apd other towns en- route
to Mineral Point, thus putting Du-
buque in connection with u much
larger territory than at first expect
ed, is the latest move to be an
nounced, The movement has been
started aud will undoubtedly be car
ried out to successful completion.
On Tuesday Mr.. j, Il. Howard, III
Linden, Wis, cashier Of the bank at
that place, aud Matt KietIer, Of Min
nral Point, n prominent real estate
man, were In Dubuque and had n
long conference with Peter Kiene,
president of the company. In the
course Of the conversation the gen.
tlemen announced that II the com
pany will extend the road to Miner
nj Point the people along the line
will take large quantity Of stock.
They declared that it would be n
comparatively easy matter to raise
about 100000 for this purpose.
Mr.. Kiene told the gentlemen to
bring tho matter moro fully before
the people of that vicinity aud then
lot him know. Tho mon who called
on Mr.. Kiono said tho people up
there are very DESTROYS of having
the extension made MS soon as pos
sible,
The plan IL to extend the main
line to Mineral Point and to run n
branch line to Linden. This would
tap country Dubuque Is almost
isolated from ut present, and the
benefits of such n connection can
readily be seen. 1t would mean that
n largo amount Of money Will be
necessary to make the extensions,
While nothing definite has been
done in the matter, all Interested ~
press confidence IN tho project and
believe that before another yenr nu
buquo will be IN connection with
most Of the towns in Grant and Iowa
counties.
President Kicnc says no contracts
nave been let as yet for building tho
road from Dubuque to PlattoviIle, al
though ho expects work will be
started soon. The officers are now
Mt work IN making contracts, Moth
irg has been determined upon rs TO
how tho road will enter the city, al
though tho promoters have several
entrances to select from.
Tho surveyors are making good
progress IN fixing the routes for tho
two roads which Will be run west
from Dubuque.

INFANT INDUSTRIES.
How Our Babes Are Starved to En-
rich the MIX Sugar MononoIY

rich the MIX Sugar Monopoly,
Milk sugar forms the basis OF baby
foods 1t is, therefore, most neces.
saPy product in thousands of house
holds, and 1t should be as cheap as
possible, for, unfortunately, most ba-
bies are born In poor homes, where the
parent must struggle hard to get suffi-
cient food even of the poorest quality.
II there Is any industry that should be
fostered and protected It is this indus
try in our homes. 1t would certainly
seem cruel, almost inhuman, to legis-
late to make the price of baby food
nearly double what 1t should be and
thus to put 1t out of the reach Of mil
lions OF little unfortunates. But this
is just what our congress did when 1t,
in 1897, put n duty Of 5 cents per
pound on sugar of milk.
The Casein Company of America not
only controls the National Milk Sugar
company, the principal manufacturer
of milk sugar In this country, but it
controls the milk sugar industry OF the
world. 1t Is now selling milk sugar in
this country ut Az cents and in Eu-
rope at or cents per pound. 1t man
ufactures 1t here, principally in New
York and Illinois, aud exports 1t to
other parts of the world. The differ
ence In its foreign and domestic prices
is exactly the amount of our tariff
duty. The milk sugar infant gets It's
ot In nf ~
infant We are sacrificing human In
fants on the altar of protection. We
are putting the dollar above the man.
And yet our president Is discussing
trace suicide" without suggesting low
or duties on food and clothing, all of
which greatly increase the cost Of liv-
Ing ana thus starve and freeze our lit
tie ones and increase the death rate.
Moody's Manual of Corporation Sc
curities for 1903 tells us that the
CAPITAL stock of the Casein Company
Of America consists of 81 100000 of 9
per cent cumulative preferred and So
100000 Of common, and the net earn
ings in 1902-O3 were about $l,1O0,OO0.
The total value of our milk-sugar
product probably does not exceed 3d.
100000. Thus this protected industry
makes net profit of more than % per
cent on its highly watercd capital OF
perhaps 100 per cent on the sales of
its products.
President Roosevelt should stop
scoldlng the fathers and mothers OF
this country until he has Il private
scance with the directors of the Casein
company and until he has asked con-
gress to take tariff duties off all prod
ucts made by trusts which do not nee
protection and which use 1t only to
unduly increase the cost of raising
children. Remove the tariff obStruc-
tons, Mr.. President, and the race will
take care of itself,

Poor Picking For New Trusts,

ley walled lis In and invited the trusts
TO help themselves that we can furnish
only very poor picking for late corners.
We now give warming to all prospective
trusts that there is nothing doing for
them. In fact, we are tired, awfully
tired, of trust prosperity and high
prices and are longing for vacation,
hard times. no trusts and low prices.
Give us IL rest.
