fully appreciate the significance of the
warning which mr.. Secretary M'CulIoch
gave them a few years ago ut is a well
established fact that the people who build
ships navigate them and that a nation
which ceases to build ships ceases Of cou8e-
quence to be a commercial and maritime
nation. Unless, therefore, this state Of
things is altered, the people Of the United
States must be subject to humiliation and
loss. If other branches of industry are to
prosper, if agriculture is to be profitable,
and manufactures are to be extended, the
commerce of the country must be sustain
ed and increased.-The West Indian.

gDHIS Society, which confines its bust
AZ ness exclusively to assuring the live
of persons resident in the West Indies,
presents advantages such as no other AS
surauco Company, ~labouring in the same
field, can OFF,. Its scale Of Premiums,
although considerably lower than that of
any other Company, has nevertheless been
found quite adequate to provide for the
risk of life in the West Indies, and sufi-
cient to create large SURPRISES, out of
which Reversionary Bonuses, averaging
q per cent per annum upon the amount
assured have been distributed among the
Members of the Society.
It's career, during 4 period of 30 years
has clearly demonstrated the fact that the
lives Of persons residing in this part of the
world, are, when carefully selected, almost
as valuable as those inhabiting Europe,
and that they do not demand such exces
sive Premiums as are charged by every
toher Company.

is dry, nearly level plateau, some twenty
feet or more above the waters of the lake,
with bay frontage Of eight miles, the st.
Louis river skirting one side and the Ne
madii river the other, and rearward, ex-
tending almost indefinitely toward the body
of the State of Wisconsin and of Minnesota
as well. Duluth, on the contrary, occupies
the strip of land along the lake and bay on
the Minnesota shore, with towering hills
Immediately behind, with but little chance
for expansion, unless at great expense, and
possessing no commercial facilities In ad-
vance Of those Of its Wisconsin rival. SUI
perior can establish railroad connections
with almost every point Of the compass, ex-
cept directly north, which is cut Oft by the
lake. Duluth is confined 10 lines along
shore northeast and southwest. The Nor
thern Pacific road can have extensive depot
grounds on the bay at the mouth OF the
Nemadji-in fact these have been set apart
for this purpose-but where such can be es-
tablished in Duluth, unless at immense ex-
penditure, it is hard to imagine. The orig
inal location of controlling marts of trade
have been very arbitrary, and it may be,
that it is the intention to develope Duluth
at all hazards: but, we have always enter
tanned the notion, that the managers of the
Northern Pacific road, in their own good
time, intended to occupy the ground at Su-
perior, and that here, would be found
eventually, one of the largest cities of the
interior of our magnificent and widespread
country. Let this be as it may, the COM
monwealth of Wisconsin does aoisely IN see
ing to 1T that none Of the natural ddudnta-
ges possessed by Superior are smtringed, and
that its chances for expansion and improve
ment are maintained inviolate.
With the aid Of the greatest lake of the
continent, and at the extreme point of nat
ural navigation westward; with a reach of
nearly three hundred miles farther toward
our interior than Chicago, and with unln-
terrupted water communication far as
Buffalo; with mines of iron and copper and
interminable forests at hand; with rail
road to Puget's Sound and the shortest
route to China and Japan by several hun
dreds of miles; we believe the head Of Lake
Superior is to have one Of the largest cities
of our country-ard, that child, possibly,
may be born, which will see it eclipse New
York, to say nothing Of Chicago and St.
Louis. Whether the particular spot will
be Superior, or Duluth, or Bayfield,, we can
not with certainty tell; but our opinion is
now and always has been, that Superior
will bear off the palm and the others will
pale in its presence.
