System is decidedly the least likely to throw
loss on the public.o
We fully concur in the above remarks,
which We extract from an article in Ihomp-
sons Reporter. Our subscribers have not
forgotten our predictions in regard to the
workings or the Free Banking Systems in
Illinois and Wisconsin. We have uniformly
advised holders of the notes Of the suspend
ed banks of those States not 10 sell at any
serious discount, knowing as we did that
their Banking Laws, in the matter Of s2curl-
ty TO bill holders, are almost perfect.
The result may he found in the statement
above. The notes of all the banks that sua
pended in Wisconsin and Illinois arc now re-
deemed Try the Auditor Of the State at par.
Since the panic of last fall the Auditor of
Illinois has required an additional deposit
of five per cent; so that now for every
800, 900 of notes, there is in the hands of
the State Government 100000 of q per
cent. bonds.

MEXICO. ~ The Northern States of Mexico
will now avail themselves, it is thought, of
tho downfall of the Central government TO
form a separate federal republic, upon the
model of the United States, and to adopt our
liberal commercial system, which is so nee
essary for the development of their resources.
They may be aided in that object by youn-
tecrs from the United States who may enter
tain the design of bringing those States, Ill
timately, undsr the folds of the American
flag. 1t would not be a bad movement for
the Mexican States, though for us it would
be poor bargain, both politically and finan-
cially. we can no longer, without much sec
tional agitation, annex foreign territories TO
the union, or even organize governments for
the territory already possessed by us.
Every one must, however, hope for Mexi-
e., that out Of her present confusion, she
my emerge, a well constituted republic
That may be possible at present-but Ger
tainly, it is not difficult for her, whether I'M
der one or many governments, to promote
the development of hcr great resources, by
removing restrictions and cxactions. from her
commerce and all her industrial pursuits"

steam Boat Canal around the Rap
ids.


ids.
slB. EDITOR II do no, neyc that the poo
pie of the .'Gate City" take as much inter-
est in the building of the Canal around the
Rapids as the interests and future growth OF
their city demand.
The great advantage which the Canal will
give to this city will consist in furnishing the
means for manufacturing basis. With that
Canal finished hundred manufacturing es-
adjustments will immediately spring into cz-
istcnce, and what Lowell is to New England,
or Birmingham to Old England, the Gate
City will be to Iowa CITY and the West.
Was that Canal built, this city would have
fine times or more population than at pres
ent, though its commercial character should
be mcasurably wiped out.
As an illustration of the preference which
in building up community, | will mention
the fact that though a wholesale mercantile
house, doing business to the amount of ono
hundred thousand dollars year, would not
probably give home employment to over ten
or twelve persons at the farthest, yet man
ufacturing establishment, making an equal
amount of sales, would give employment to
from 400 to 500 persons.
IL this Canal is ever to succeed it is impcr-
ativcly necessary that this city should take
the initiative. This is necessary to give con
6dencc in the project abroad.
Let keokuk then in her corporate capacity
subscribe 800, 900, and the landholders Of
The city $4,000 in their private capacity
These subscriptions when made will, it is be-
lieved, be followed by subscription of $780,
600 from the county,,
St. Louis and New Orleans arc both i'm
menscly interested in this improvement, since
unless the Rapids are improved, and that
soon, they will be pretty much cut off from
all commercial intercourse with the immense
and wealthy region of the Upper Mississippi
Valley. think, therefore, if the sums above
named are secured at home, a subscription of
100000 wo lid be readily obtained from
each Of these latter named cities.
The aggregate of these sums will be sufli-
cient, according to the report of Col. Curtis,
the Engineer, to pay for one-half the whole
cost of construction of the Canal.
The balance Of the amount to be raise d
must come from foreign capitalists, and tie
bonds and credit of the Company.
But it 10 probable that Congress might al
so in this Improvement, as they did with the
Canal around the Falls of the Ohio River.
take considerable amount of stock in this
Company.
Nor is it improbable that the people of the
Upper Mississippi Valley may be induced to
come forward and subscribe literally to this
project. They doubtless would prefer the
improvement Of the natural channel of the
River, but when they see one Presidential
Veto after another cutting short any hope
Of such improvement, Canal would certain
ly be a great dcsideratum to them. 1t would
expedite the receipt Of their goods and gro
ccrics frsm the South, and the export of their
products to the South greatly.
And again, it would diminish their cost of
freight over the Rapids at lcast two-thirds.
ga word to the wise is sufficient t
