The daily Gate City. [volume] (Keokuk, Iowa) 1855-1916, 1856-04-21
For the Gate City.


MkssRs. EDITORS In your editorial COM
ments yesterday upon paragraph taken
from the Burlington Gazette" entitled
1.-The Race of Cities,'' YOU omitted to notice
one Of the most important features in the
'Srace, )" which, at once, places keokuk at
the head OF the list of competitors in popu-
lation. rs well as in commercial statistics
and importance, viz The comparative areas
of the corporate limits of the three cities
mentioned, Burlington, Dubuque and keo-
kak.
Burlington is made up of a number of ad-
ditions, ali included In her corporate limits
and constituting q territory of several square
miles Dubuque is similarly constituted,
having been repeatedly enlarged IN her cor
porate limits, whilst keokuk retains her
original corporate boundaries, embracing
less than one square mile, although sur
rounded with unincorporated additions, con-
tanning large population, which never APP
pears in any estimate or tabular exhibit OF
our charter elections. We can safely affirm
that, on the single square mile embraced
within the city limits of keokuk there is q
larger population than can be found on any
other single square mile in the State of Iowa
NERITAS.
The daily Gate City. [volume] (Keokuk, Iowa) 1855-1916, 1856-04-21

they have extended their sales into ali por-
tions Of the West (though vet as it were they
are in their infaney.) To bring about such
a desirable result, there must have been o
united and cordial co operation between our
merchants and manufacturers. think that
Keokuk in her youth may well feel proud of
her position, ms q point of decided business
concentration. A merchant doing business
in the interior of the State finds it much
more to his interest to purchase his goods in
keokuk, and to transact such business as he
may have with st. Louis, Cincinnati and
New York through a business house here,
than to 20 on directly to either Of those
cities, with what he has to dispose Of and
make his purchases. The great bulk Of the
Western products have to be prepared for
market before they are in q condition for ex-
portation, and rendered saleable. Take the
great staple of the State, Pork. Ii Is found
to be better economy to bring the live hogs
TO ke0kuk 30 be slaughtered and packed for
market, than for the farmer to attempt to do
the business himself. Here every part of the
hog, no matter what, has regular market
value, and the increased sum realized incl
dental to this course Of operation, is much
greater than the cost of transportation
This illustration will serve to give correct
idea Of the economical disposition of the
great bulk Of our Western products. Ii is
rarely that they are forwarded directly from
their places of growth to the Eastern Or
Southern markets, but are first collected at
commanding points of trade, which thus be-
come points in trdnsita to their final mar
kets
The same extent Of country that forward
to these points in transit for instance, its
products, carry away from them all that may
be required by the farmer for his consump-
ton that his farm will not produce. The
farmer brings his produce to keokuk because
it commands better price here than he can
obtain elsewhere, and he makes his purchases
here for d similar reason. la this manner
the leading cities of the West, and 1t will be
through them that the trade with the great
metropolis of America will be carried on
These cities willstrengthen their hold upon
this trade in proportion to the rapidltg and
-asperity Of the own growth. And theii
success will in u great degree depend upoa
the advantages that they shall be able to of
fer for the transaction Of business, and the
Al. -.
transactions while competing for the trade
and products Of their adjacent country.

Con DIsPosEs.- The New York Event ng
Post remarks: There is one circumstance
connected with Napoleon's family, which his
torians have not yet observed, but which is
well worth mention. Napoleon the Great
set aside his best friend and counsellor,
Josephine, to obtain en- heir to the throne OF
France. He married a princess Of Austria
and by her he had son. That birth was
the eliminating point of his power and his
dignity. From thence he did nothing but
descend. He died an exile-his son also.
Who succeeded to his name, his fame, his
power? The child of Hortense, who was the
child of Josephine la the person of the
Emperor Of the French, we End not the Off
spring Of Napoleon the Great, but the off
spring of his discarded wife. What an IL
lustratlon OF the truth Of the adage, ssThat
u Is man who proposes, but God who dis
poses"
