THE WEALTH OF THE WEST.


The amount of tolls collected on the New
York canals for the season of 1917, has reach
ed the extraordinary sum of S3650, 600. We
may say that this is the income of an Empire,
rather than a State. The productive energies
of the West seem to have defied all calculation.
In lS4O the tolls amounted to only 81 1885,
392 IA In seven wears thereafter they have
more than doubled Ii is remarkable that this
enormous business has been done without an
enlargement of the Erie Canal. improvements
have been made in the canal, by doubling the
locks and enarging the canal at certain places;
but as there is vet no uniform enlargement, the
full benefit will not be obtained until it is COM
pleted Throughout: the whole line. Fortunately,
the large surplus of tolls ensures that consum-
nation al least by 1880, and perhaps sooner,
as the most difficult portion OF the work is now
under contract.
The tolls during the last two seasons have
been largely increased by the high price of
brea lstuffs If these should sink TO the level of
1910 and 40, OF course the tolls would at once
fall off, for no law is now more thoroughly es-
tablished by experience, than that it requires
fair prices 10 call out the full energy of agri
cultural production. Still there are so many
new avenues which are being constantly open
ed 10 the lakes, that the larger extent of coun-
try which is brought within the focus of the
Erie Canal, may more than counterbalance anv
reduction OF supply from low prices. In Nav
next, the Illinois and Michigan Canal will be O.
pened, which will divert from New Orleans the
bacon, the flour. the corn and the hides of
Northern Missouri and Iowa TO New York by
wav OF the lakes. The Wabash Canal will be
extended still farther into the heart of Indiana
which will bring out the immense supplies of
corn with which that State abounds far beyond
any other western State. AMI which in former
years has mostly been carried to New Orleans.

who was a very wonderful woman, called one

LAFAYETTE was very modestly dressed, while
the American ladies present were IN very gay
ott;re While at the table, one of those who
sat near Mrs. Adams whispered to her saying,
Good Heavens! how awfully she is dressed 7
Mrs. Adams rebuked the observation by say
mo that the ladys rank placed her above the
little formalites of dress We wish IT was the
case now that all who occupy honorable places
xvould feel above such matters, and, indeed,
that every one would feel that a brilliant and
