To get this surplus of wheat to market costs
the producer sixty i've cents per bushei, or
$50, 25o,O
Startling as are these figures they cannot
be controyerted. If to these estimates we
could add the cost of transportation of the
other.surplus productions ofthe country figures
still more astounding would have TO be made.
Now assert, that one half OF the sum above
named. or Sl4. 4.625 900, would be saved to
the producer. ON wheat alone. if we could
have good water navigation to New Orleans.
Nearly all the wheat now moved on the Mis-
sisslppi is moved in bulk and in barges, built
for the purpose. on board of which il is re
ceived from elevators and discharged into
elevators at the different Railroad ter mini. A
model barge drawing four feet of water win
carry 20,0o0 bushels, and an ordinary tow
boat, such as is usually employed in towing
coal barges on the Ohio and Lower Mississippi,
will readily tow four barges. taking $1,000
bushels at one trip TO New Orleans. At ten
cents per bushe, the freight for the trip would
amount to 5000. To make the trip down
would take about fifteen days, and the ex-
penses at 500 day, would amour, to So 900,
leaving clear profit OF $1,000 for the trip
down. The return freight, would. no doubt,
much more than pay expenses. 1t will thas
be seen that with good navigation wheat can
De sent Io new OTledus lUt teu CENTS per
bushel But add FIVE cents for insurance and
storing in elevators at New Orleans, and you
have fifteen cents for transportation and sto-
rage in New Orleans. Ten cents a bushel
more will lay it down in New York or Liver
pool, so that, for about the same that it costs
the farmer to place his wheat in Chicago. he
will lay it down in the markets of New York
and Liverpool.
! The section most Immediately to be benefit
ted by this improvement, hss furnished 200,-
600 men to carry on the war, and nine tenths
of those who have returned are now engaged
as producers, and have . great interest IN
cheap transportation. As they have contrib
uted so largely to open the Mississippi, 90 that
it runs "unvexed to the sea, are they asking
too much Of Government when they ask that
an amount less than the expense of carrying
on the war for single day, should be de-
voted to this great National work? Railroad
monopolists, and all in their interests, will
I oppose it, but the masses of New England
and New York, and all who desire cheap
bread, are little less interested than we are.
In 1887, when the amount OF commerce of the
! Upper Mississippi did not exceed one hun
dredth part of what 1t now is, 1t. Lee, IN
closing his estimates of the cost of the work,
declared that .whatever may be the true
: amaunt of cost, there can be no doubt tfni
the benefits THAT win result, would more than
authorize ten lines the sun, and that fthe
J community at large will be repaid an hundred

The above figures are all of the most liberal
character, and il is confidently believed that
the work can be done for considerable less
than the above figures. m
It's proper TO say here that BY this mode
of improvement an unrivalied water power
will be created at the city Of Keokuk, and
which will insure for that city the rank of the
first manufacturing city in the valley of the
Mississippi, and the value of the power thus
created will materially aid in paying the cost
ofthe improvement.
will now proceed to show by facts and
figures that the annual saving in the cost OF
transportation, to the region Of country i'm
medately to be effected by this improvement
will exceed FIVE fold Of the cost of improve

season of navigation upon the Lakes, sixty

of the river, rendering it entirely practicable
to build parallel with the llain shore, and dis;
tant from two to three hundred feet from It,
an embankmaat or wall Of rock to form one
side of canal of capacity sufficient to pass
I'll the boats that may ever desire 10 navigate
the Mississippi. This canal would require to
have three lift locks, each Of ten feet lift, aud
at the head of the canal, it is probable that
guard lock would be required as protection
against ice, and the floods Of the rive-. 80
The average hight of the wall or embank-
ment of the canal, to place it shove the floods
Of the river, would be about twelve feet, but
by putting in an additional lock, the hight
and s;ze Of the wall would be materially less
ened. Such wall or embaaknent g have
described would contain about zoe, 600 cubic
yards This wall built of wooden cribwork,
and filled with loose rock will not cost't ex.

locks, three in number, built OF cnt stone,
three hundred feet in length and sixty feet
wide would not cost to exceed $lOO, 900 each,

what were the real designs Of Columbus. No scientific
