ed ¢ ROCK ISLAND ARSENAL. The Condition of Affairs There at the Present Time. ‘What Work Hs Boen Accomplishod During the Past Year, And What Is Proposed to Bo Dono in $1881, with Estimates of Cost. Bpectat Correspondence of The Chicago Tribune, DAVENrouT, In, Dee. 1.—It is now too Inte, if in truth there were over a proper time, for any sectional difference of opinion tw encourige adiseussion as to the wisdom of incating the great Nattonal Armory ond Arsenalof the Mississipp! Vailey on Rock Island,—the most beautiful of the many Islands that divide the Father of Waters, And, with the vast plan of constriction four-fifths Mvished, and the falirteation of siores actually cummenved ona large seale, St ts tdle to defer pushing the work to entire completion. It may be well to state some of tho reasons for building the Arsenal whieh will not suggest themsclves to the hurtled render, : " A NATIONAL DUFENSYy It must de adinitted, first, that we should haven National defense; and, this granted, fl is easy to show: First, the absolute neces- sity for constructing tha Arsenal; secoudly, ihe economy to the United States In doing: so. The Ordnanes Department supplies to the army every article used by the soldier for offensive and defensive purposes. ‘This ene braces small arms; equipments for Infantry, cavalry, and artillery; all ammunition of every kind for cannon, rifles, carbines, and pistols. and also fireworks (such as rockets) ete.; all cannon and gun-cnrringes for field, siege, garrison, and mountain or pratrio service; and all the eyuipments for the Inst, which = embrace harness, tools, implements, — battery-wngons, nnd forges. ‘OF what hag been named everything will be manufnetured at this Arsenal, ex- covt cannon and gunpowder,—and probably one or both of these eventually. It was Jearned during the Inte civil strife (by sad experience) that the material of war—every- thing that the soldier fights with—should be manufactured in Government shops; anil that the Government shops were inadequate for the work, (‘They had about one-fifth of the capacity required for the first three years of the War.) Some strong reasons why these materials shoukt be made under the contro} of the Government are herewith pre- sented, Ir not obtained In this way, they must beacaitred by purchase from foreign na- tions generally, or fram contractors. Vurlag the War of the Rebellion the Government pur- chased about 750,000 muskets, and the greater part of these werw purehased from forelgn nations. ‘Khese must have eost avout $15,- 000,000, ‘They were worth as a inerchantabte article from 75 cents to Si each, or say $1,- 500,000, Iure was a loss of over $13,000,000, {tean be shown by ealeulntion that, in the difference of cost of material alone, the Rock Ista) Arsenal would have paid for itselt about one and one-half thes during eavh year of tho late War, Bat, aside from the cost-consideration, It may be asked if it Ly wise or prudent for the Government, with its eyes thoroughly opened, to permit itself again to be bound and and foot when the Nation's sate ia at stake, and spade de- pendent for weapons for self-protection upon contractors or fu! nations, Another thing to be fs tho difference of value betwee vest article that the ht with and one that i a litte poorer, or one that fy almost worth- less. r DESIGN OF THI ARSENAL. It is proposed to make this Arsenal the Arsenal for the whole Mississippl Valley. 1f completed, ft would be sutticient, when crowded to. hte full eapuelty, in tine of war, to arm, equip, and supply an ariy of 750,C men. And it Is further designed to conven: teate all tho sinall Arsenals of the nto one great Arsenal, with greatly enlarged capnelty for work, and increased eMelency for doling econamienl work; and ey rntualy to enlarge the Paelfie-Coust Arsenal until {t shall by stflicient for the country west of the Rocky Mountains, About $2,000,000 more is. required ta complete the Rock Ishind Arsenal. Should this work nothe prosveuted, to the endl, Cand left for a thie evet in an Ineamplete state, pusitive loss would be the result, When completed its capnelty Js estininted to he two and one-half to three ae that of all the Arsenals the United Stoles hind during tho War, and fully equal toll the necessltic the Mississippi Valle to the Hocktes, CONDITION OF THE wont The plan for this Arsenal, In outline, 1s familar to most Trust: readers. It cone sists of tivo rows of shops, with five fn each row,—on row constituting the Arsenal, and the other the Armory, ‘The middle shop on the Arsenal side fs n foundry and forging shop: itis adapted to the Arsenal work onty, aud {s completed, “Phe corresponding shap in the Armory row fs a ralling-mill” and forge for the Northwest and fromthe Alleghenles ing-shop for the Armary, adapt- ed ta this work only.
