1t is surprising that so little is said about
removing the distractions to the nav igation Of the
Upper Mississippi river. We presume it is be-
cause so little heed has been taken to the much
that has already been said. One million a year
would hardly compensate for the additional tax the
people of Iowa and Illinois have to pay, on account
Of these distractions. Shame on Congress, for
such Injustice.

The Philadelphia North American is of opinion
that the radical of the silver scarcity in the
United States is TO be traced to our unnatural rev.
enne system, by which we are rendered the tribu-
tarles of all Europe. 1t makes our trade losing
one. We must pay our balances in the precious
metals; and our customers choose to be paid in
silver instead OF gold, because circumstances give
them, in the former an advantage, in the shape of
an additional profit, which it appears, they esti-
mate at three per cent.
