movements looking to the expectation of
fuel and ores; the increasing agricultural
products of the country, and the cheap
distribution demanded by home as well AS
foreign consumption and fully shows
that they present grave questions to the
American statesman as to the government
tai action, that will in the fullest manner
meet the future demands of the country

1t shows very conclusively that while
millions are being expended for the inn
provement OF the harbors of the sea-coast
and lakes, interior navigation is being neg
lected, thereby retarding the growth and
prosperity Of the largest portion of the
mineral and agricultural section of the
nation, and that when sea-coast and inland
navigation are placed in comparison, the
former dwindles down, mighty as it is, to
- matter OF secondary importance. There
are over hundred places on the Ohio riv-
er, doing an annual business OF 100000
