The Inman Line.

The intimate relations between this country
and Europe in exports, imports and emigra-
ton, are best illustrated in the remark
able Development of the lnman Line,
which, in 1851, the date OF its in
augueration, numbered but two ships,
yet now, in its eighteeth year, has a
fleet of sixteen first-class steamers and anoth-
er building. Every ship of the line is built in
water-tight compartments and completely
equipped with all the latest and most approx
ed appliances for the comfort and safety OF
passengers. Without government aid or any
subsidy whatever, this line, under the judi
cius management of its officers, has achieved
a magnificent success. And although by it,
superior facilities and quick time it has COM
manded the carrying of the Q. S. Mails for
the ocean postage, it has looked mainly to
legitimate business for its remunerative
re ards. The thousands of tourists
who have enjoyed the elegant hospitall-
ties, the polite attentions and Jealous care of
officers and crew on board any of the splen-
did steamers of this line, need not be told the
simple secret of its popularity with the trav-
cling public. Nor is the general excellence of
this line confined to the cabin. Within eight
cen years no less than 500, 900 emigrants have
been landed ON our shores in her staunch,
roomy and well appointed ships. David A.
Wells, Special Commissioner of the Revenue,
estimates the value of each emigrant brought
into the United States at 81 900. Here then
actual wealth and industry of the country.
The name of the Innan Line is house
hold word throughout the Northwest, and
thousands upon thousands of our foreign born
citizens have pleasant memories OF tn kind
treatment and superior accommodations OF
the Storage. The most scrupulous attention
is paid to cleanliness and ventilation. Good,
wholesome food is furnished in abundance,
and under the humane and efficient regula-
tions of the steerage the bills of mortality on
the Inman line have been reduced to one in a
thousand, including infants. This is less than
on Shore and this fact, as shown by figures and
reliable statistics, speaks volumes for the In
