A NOTABLE ANNIVERSARY

Tuesday OF last week was the for
tieth anniversary Of the completion of
the Missouri, Iowa and Nebraska rail-
road to Kahoka, and the celebration
Of the Fourth that day in 1871 was a
great affair for the town and the
. county. Clark county was in gala
spirits because Of the presence of a
railroad with fiery locomotives and
cars that went rolling across the val
ley the sand ridge and away out on
the upland plains. Jasper Blines
writes interestingly of the occasion in
letter, In the Alexandria Sun. He
recalls that the train that took the
the excursion from Alexandria, Coop
er's station (now Wayland) and Clark
City, was crude and a primitive en-
terDrise, being composed chiefly Of
fat cars provided with immense wood

boards for safeguards. Locomotive

first excursion train in the county,

brilliant affair. Further incidents are

If we feel we have no obligation to

OF Punishment is all right. But If it is
right and proper for us to Danish,

The foregoing is clearly a mistake
as far as it relates to right OF way
for an interurban railroad. The right
OF way in question is being secured
for the transmission lines of the
Mississippi River Power Company to
transmit electric current from Keo-
kuk to st. Louis. According to the
terms of contract entered into

Drifting Of Public Sentiment
Is the Protective Tariff Policy Passing Away,

Hon. Bernard Murphy in the vim
ton Eagle: The following paragraph
from an editorial in the Waterloo
Ilmes-Tribune, free trade Demo.
cratic newspaper. entitled, rs Protec.
ton Passing?' is printed to show our
readers what is in the minds of the
free trade Democrats and their con
clusion that protection SO far as the
United States is concerned is passing
away. The Times-Tribune says:
One of the striking editorials of
the times is that OF the protectionist
Boston Monitor. in recent issue. Al
ter taking general view OF the situa-
ton. as regards the protective system,
with Its inequalities. it makes the
rather remarkable prediction that the
days OF protective tariff for the
sake OF protection are about over.
And why should they not end? Per-
maps there was time when a protec-
tive measure, with temporarily i'm
posed duty was good thing rendered
Tor the general good of the public;
put 1t remained for the days of the
generations just passing, for the braz-
en- dishonesty of protection for the
sake of protection. Nothing could be
more dishonest"
The daily Gate City. [volume] (Keokuk, Iowa) 1855-1916, 1911-07-10

1t was the farmers who were calling
for tariff reform. Since that time an
other element has come to the sur.
face. Farm produce rose to the
heights in price and there came a de.
mand from the mill worker and con
sumner generally for cheaper natural
products. President Taft, to satisfy
that demand. brought about what is
known as Canadian reciprocity treaty.
It brought cheers from the ultimate
consumer" but groans from the farm
ers. 1t was not what they wanted. 1t
was not the price OF their products
they were complaining OF. Neither
was the mill hand complaining Of the
price OF his products. Both elements
are now at war. encouraged by a
Democratic press by the charge that
neither element is benefited: that
the favored" classes are receiving
all the benefits. One knows how
easy 1t is to plant poison in willing
ears and that is the situation In this
country today.

Free Trade In SInh4

] There 1t Is in nut she'll Free
trade Is in sight. No Republican would
have thought ten years ago when
Senator Cummins, then prominent
railroad attorney of Iowa, commenced
his crusade against protection that he
would ever have reached the plane he
now occupies and remain in the Re.
publican party. He adroitly then and
Tor years afterwards took the oath OF
allegiance to protection; now he does
not bother with it. He declares for
what he wants. No one then thought
ne would be able to proselyte the pro-
economists of Iowa, but 1t must be
admitted that he has a strong sentf.
ment back of him. Emboldened by the
attitude assumed by Senator Cum
minis the Democrat press of Iowa is
more outspoken for free trade now
than 1t has been for years. Not only
IS the Democratic press emboldened
TO speak out but there is a large ele.
ment IN the Republican press Of the
state calling for tariff reform. It is
plain now that no matter what rednc.
ton the Payne-Aldrich tariff law
might have made there would have
been no diminution in the demand for
further tariff reform.
