Supply and Demand.
We take from the Memphis Appeal the
following argument in favor of another
Pacifie railroad:
If anrtMne were wantimr to nrove the necessity
for the Thu Pacific Railroad, from Marshall to
Han Diego, without touching or connecting with
Huntington's so-called Southern lino, the discrim
inating rates o( freight by the Central and Union
Pacific roads would be an melon t,"
the road
ana employes.
3. That provision be made for stautory
arbitrations between employers and em
ployes to adjust controversies, reconcile in
terests, and establish justice and equity
between them.
oar national and state authorities in their
efforts to enforce the supremacy of the law.
yet we do most heartily sympathize with
the condition ot trie honest and industrious
laborers, who are willing to work but re
main unemployed, or are employed at
wages inadequate to comfort and indepen
deDce. and as an earnest of our desire to
find a remedy for their condition we
recommend
1. That congress establish a national
bureau ot industry.
2. lhat congress exert its authority
over all national highways of trade by pre
scribing and enforcing such reasonable
regulations as will tend to promote the
safety of travel, secure fair returns for the
capital invested, and fair wages to the em
nlrtVAQ ftVAVDlthnif mr i a tret b v. a nnm Art f iftft.
If there is auch a necessity, the road proper discriroinati onf.and the aggrandize-
will te built. Whatever materia.1 thing ment of officials at the expense of shippers
there is a real and adequate need for, will
in due time bo produced. The law of
supply and demand is sure and irresistible.
As soon as the necessity is felt, the new
railroad will be created, and then the mo
nopoly rates of freight will come down
liut our Memphis contemporary weans
that the Federal government ought to
interfere and build this railroad by sub
sidies. This is the sort of necessity which
it supposes to exist in the case: but it is
m necessity at all. The Federal govern
ment has no business to build railroad?.
It was not organized for such a purpose,
The constitution gives it no authority to
do such a thing. Tho existing Pacific
Railroad was only built as a war measure,
as something necessary in order to defend
and maintain the unity of the country in
time of civil war. But this is a time of
peace, and there is no reason whatever
for building a new railroad by subsidies
from the national treasury.
The real sense of the argument adduced
iq tavor of subsidies for the southern
Pacific Railroad is not that commerce and
the public interests feel a necessity for
such a road, but that it will be profitable
to certain private capitalists and specula
tors. It is to make them rich that the
money of the people is to be taken out of
tho treasury. That is the only necessity
there is in the case.

FLUID
IMAM ESIA
Superior to any English or American
MA was awarded to this
Drinking Beer.
In the last number of the Contemporary
Jltvicw of London, Dr. Charles Graham
discusses at length the subject of beer and
its bearings on the temperance question
The quantity of beer produced in England
annually is prddigious. In 1S73 nearly
sixty million bushels of malt were con
sumed in its manuiacture, and nearly a
hundred and fifty thousand people were
engaged in retailing the beverage, while
enormous quantities were exported. Be
sides beer, the English people made in the
same year more than thirty million gallons
of spirits, or about one gallon for every
man, woman and child in the United King
dom. The great trouble in England, as
here, is that poor men, having few facili
ties for social intercourse at home, go cut
to the gin places to meet their friends, and
they there yield to the temptation to drink
more than is good for them. Dr. Graham
therefore urges the opening of cafes by
local bodies, where only mild beverages
shall l e sold, the sort of gardens which
are so frequent in Germany, and where it
is rare to see a drunked man. He. would
have tho brewers manufacture what be
calls a conversation beer, which shall con
tain very little alcohol; and be would seek
to make the cafe the resort of the whole
family, as it is in Germany. Dr. Graham's
snggcptions may be wisely studied by our
own teetotal reformers.
Ohio Republican Platform.
The following is the full text of the plat
form adopted by tho Republican state con
vention of Ohio, at Cleveland. Tho pre
amble starts off with as big a lie as satan
ever fathered, and then of course, it is in
i r m
oraer to endorse iiaycs. laken as a
whole it is a wesk affair, and will disap
point tho whole country for the reason,
previously given out, that it would outline
the national policy of Hayes. More than
ever docs this stamp Hayes as a fraud.
Here is his national policy:
The Republicans of Ohio, in convention
assembled, congratulate the people that
during the long term of their control of
the affairs of the state no stain has bee
found upon their ieoord as a party; that
their management of local affairs has been
true to the moral and industrial interests
of the people, and, therefore, they confi
dent point to the past as the best evi
dunce of their intentions for the future.
On uuti mat questions the Republicans ot
Uluo claim the same fidelity to right prin
ciples and practices that they have ex
hibited in local and state affairs. Appeal
ing to the determination of the people to
maintain republican principles and prac
tices, thev offer for the candid considera
tion of the voters of Ohio the following
platform of principles:
Resolved, That we reaffirm and adopt
tho platform and i resolutions ot the ua
tionalconvention of the Republican party
adopted in thojeonvention at Cincinnati in
June, 187C.
HwAvrd, That the Republicans of Ohio
reaffirm their unfaltering couGdeuce in
Rutherford B. Hayes as a statesman,
patriot, and a Republican, and cordially
approve and support his efforts for the
pauitietttion of tho country, and the estab
lishment of its civil service upon a basis of
purity and efficiency.
J!eohed, That we reaffirm it as the
unalterable purpose of the Republican
party to maintain and enforce the provi
sions of the recent amendments to the
Federal constitution, guaranteeing the
equal rights of all citizens before the law,
irrespective oi race or color, ana to insist
on the lull and effectual performances by
the Federal government in the execution
ot all its powers and of its constitutional
obligations in that behalf.
Resolved, That we are in favor of both
silver and gold as money that both bduII
he a legal tender for tho payment of all
debts, except where otherwise specially
provided by law with coinage and valuation
so regulated that our people shall not
be placed at a disadvantage in our trade
with foreign nations, and that both metals
shall be kept in circulation as the money
of the nation, as contemplated by the con
stitution, and we demand the remonetiza-
tion ot silver.
JieMolved, lhat we are opposed to any
luruier grants oi puoiio lands or money
subsidies, or the extension of the public
credit of the general government to aid in
the construction of railroads.
Jiesolecd, lhat we are opposed to the
renewal of patents by act of Con Drnan
which are burthensome and onnreiv t
the masses of the people, and especially to
tne UDoring classes.
Resolved. That we view with alarm the
present disturbed condition of the country
as evidenced by tho extensive strikes of th
workingmen, and followed by the destruc
tion of life and property in different parts
ui mo oouuiry; ana while we deprecate
each and every resort to violence and dis
order, and cordially appro? the action of
What Secretary Sherman Thinks.
Secretary Sherman is reported to have
said In Washington, tho other day, that if
congress will only give him power he can
resume specie payments very quickly. Me
has a good deal of gold in hand, and he re
ports that owing to the dullness ot the
times sixty millions of greenbacks are now
on deposit in the treasury for. safe keeping,
all owned by private persons and bearing
no interest. He thinks this idle money
would be readily exchanged ' for bonds if
he had authority to cancel below the three
hundred millions limit.
Meantime there are people who, in spite
of the fact that we have thus an immense
surplus of currency, and that the resump
tion act authorizes unlimited free banking,
still cry out that the country is ruined by
contraction. I here is, in tact, no demand
for all the greenbacks and bank notes now
in existence. Lnterpnseis dead; every
body who has money is waiting for re
sumption before embarking in new ven
tures. The country remains poor and
workingmen stand idle, not because there
is not money enough, but because it has
no fixed value. If congress,when it meets
in October, will promptly adopt measures
to hasten resumption, tXat will induce the
owners of money to plan new enterprises
at once. If to day, we had reached re
sumption we should see hundreds ot new
enterprises begun, and before six months
there would be a general demand tor
laboring men and a rise in wagns. It is
useless to expect this turn upward to De
gin while resumption is delayed. No pru
dent man will make permanent invest
ments in new undertakings while the car
rency question is open, and no speculator
can borrow money. If the workingmen
want to see hotter times they ought to pe
tition congress to hasten resumption by
every possible means. A. 1. Herald.
A question here, would it not do just
as well if the workingmen were to petition
congress to delay resumption by repealing
the resumption act, the act demonetizing
silver, and agreeing to let the finances oi
tho country severely alone.

A Perfect Toilet Soap.
First amonsr the requisites of the toilet is a good
article of Soap, but to procure it is not always an
aaxv matter. Manv of the most expensive Soaps in
the market are made from coarse and deleterions
materials, and their delicate coloring and fragrant
perfume too often conceal the most repulfive im
purities. The disclosures recently made public
regarding this sutijcct are positively startling, ana
deserve serious consideration. Sci'iitert Soaps are
now known to be extremely objectionable, especial
lv if applied to the head : injuring the hair, irrita
ting the scalp, and lmlncing severe headaches. The
character of the iuirredients may bo inferred Irom
tha statement of a ircntlemen who makes the scent
ing of Soaps his business; he recently declared that
pertons engaged in this employment were short
lived; from seven to ten years being the lonpi-st
period during which the occupation could be lol
lowed.
The difficulty of procuring a perfectly pure arti
cle of toilet sottp Is at last obviated, however,
thanks to the enterprise and chemical skill of Mr.
B. T. Babbitt, of New York, the world-renowned
Soap Manufacturer, whoce immense establishment
is by iar the greatest of the kind In the United
States. The renown of Mr. Babbitt's various pro.
ductions has for many years been widely dissem
inated, hut this latest success is the appropriate
crown to the numerous victories nircauy achieved
After vears of patient labor and scientific expert
ment, Mr. Babbitt has succeeded in perfecting the
composition of the flreat toilet soap ever Intro'
duced. The principal ingredients are the purest
vegetable oils; the manufacturing processes are
entirely new and original, and the result is simply
unpara.lrled in this department of industry.
"B. T. Babbitt's Toilet Soap" is tho trade mar

Jefferson Avenue and Benton St 6T. LOUIS.
Sold by all Rock Island Druggists.
Established 1843.
Made at ttie oldest Anvil manufactory in this
country. All English Anvils, after a time, become
hollowing on the face riy continued hammering in
use, on account of the fibrous nature of the wrought
iiuu caupniE n vo suiue, uuuer me steel.
But the body of the Kagle Anvil being of cryS'
talfizcd iron, such settling cannot occur; aud the
steel face therefore remains perfectly true. Also,
it nas tne great anvantsge, that being cl a more
solid material, and, consequently, with lees re
bound, the piece forged receives the PULL effect
of the hammer, instead of a part of It being wasted
by the rebound, as with a wronght iron Anvil.
More work can therefore be doue on this Anvil
with a hammer one-flfth lighter than required for
wrought Iron Anvil which is more elastic.
The working surface is in one piece of Jessop'
BsT Tool Cast Stkkl, accurately gronnd, hard
enea and given the proper temper for the neav
work, me horn is ot tongh untempered stee!.
The cast steel surface is warranted to be
oughly welded and not to come otf.
