STATISTICS OF WESTERN COMMERCE
Win greal respect. | am. &c.


A late number Of the ST. Louis Era gives the
following abstract Of the report prepared by the
Delegation Of that city for the information Of the
Convention:
1--WE have before US the report, prepared by the
authority of the Delegates TO the Chicago Con.
vcnIIon, which we perceive, estimates the number
Of steamboats, on the waters Of the Mississippi
valley at l,l90, costing upwprds Of 10000 600.
employing over 10000 men, and running at an
'expense annually Of S32.7O0,00O. To this the
committee add 1000 flat and keel boats, employ
ing 10000 men, and costing 10 build and run them
81 900. The items Of interest on first cost,
insurance, wear and tear, &C., make an additional
sum enough TO swell the whole cost Of transporfa.
ton on the western rivers 10 over Sal 900 900
annually.
These boats, the committee say, are capable Of
carrying annually upwards of 100000 tons of
freight; and they suppose the value Of the annu.
al commerce to be over S422, 100000, or nearly
twice as much as that Of the whole foreign com.
merce Of the country.
The length of navigation is between ten and
fifteen thousand miles.
The loss by destruction Of boats from remova.
bic distractions in the rivers is estimated ut So.
100000 annually. Of this amount, government
loses its full share as it has at risk on these wa
ters. not less than $5.OOO,0OO annually.
From 1894 to 1896 81, ,528. 800 had been ex.
pended iorimproyements on western rivers, while
during the same time, for lighthouses, beacons,
piers and harbors on the sea-coast. nearly Sl3,-
600, 900 have been appropriated.
ST. Louis owns %, 800 of steamboat tonnage,
worth 81 ,547 900, and during 1916, there arri-
we'd here ACT 1874 tons-excluslve Of flat-boats.
8Ol in number. The whole value Of its exports
and imports is set down at S7500OOOO.
The government owns in the neighborhood Of
ST. Louis--atthe Arsenal and Barracks--$l ,75O,.
600 worth Of properly, the use Of which 10 the
government IS Of immense value and importance.
The following items are collected from the
Report:
The cost of running a steamboat on the wes-
tern rivers is Sir times greater than the cost in
Cured upon the lakes. For proofs of this: The
capital invested in the vessels Of the Upper lakes
is estimated at S6,000000, and the cost of run
ming them exclusive Of insurance and interest
on the capital. is stated TO be about 81 ,75O OOO
or about one-thrd of their value. The capital
invested in the steamboats, of the valley of the
Mississippi is SIC, ,188, SOL, and the cost of run
ming them exclusive of insurance and interest)
is estimated at S32, 1852 900 or more than double
their value.

THE MHIG GROUND.

The Lebanon Star, in an article upon the VIII.
mot Proviso and the Missouri Compromise.
makes the following pertinent remarks:
But if the Senate ratifes treaty dismember.
ing Mexico, foreign war, we awiuIly fear, will
give place to dismemberment and civil war
The free and slave States cannot coalesce on the
subject of slavery, and when Congress is called
on 10 make states out Of the conquered territory,
and determine their character, can it be done
without disunion and civil commotonl The
north will not consent 10 adopt the principles of
the Missouri Compromise, nor will the south
consent 10 the Wilmct Proyiso. In this stale of
things, what is the present duty of patriots of all
parties; and especially, what is the duty of the
Wing party! The union of the latter, north and
south, can alone save the Republic from the fur
ther extension Of slavery, and the appalling ca
amity of disunon and cvilwar Let them take
the position. then and firmly adhere to it that the
war shall close and peace be concluded without
the acquisition of single inch Of Mexican ter
ritory. Conclude a treaty on the basis, and you
not on y secure the pcrpcIuity of the Union as il
is. but you rid our public councils and the country
from the discussion Of Il most dangerous and dis
tracing question. Moreover, the integrity of the
Wing party, and the ultimate predominance of
Whig principles are secured. 1t should always
be remembered, that Mexico cannot be dismem-
bered without the aid of Wing votes in Congress.
Let us keep our ranks then unbroken, and let our
voice he heard in trumpet tones in favor of the
"Union now and forever" as it is--against the
annexation of any foreign territory-in favor of
the immediate withdrawal of ourarmy from Mex.
md n Cpap1v Tho Of
these principles, and THEN maintenance by the
Wings, in and out of Congress, will result in the
salvation Of the country.
The great question TO be propounded by the
Wings, to those who are candidates for public Of
flee, is not are you in favor of the WiImot Provi-
so or the Missouri Compromise! but are you op-
posed TO the dlsmemberment of Mexicol If the
Wings, north and south, take affirmative ground
in regard to the latter question, all contention in
regard to slavery will cease.
