rAR-REACHING PHILADELPHIA.

When the contest for interior trade was
limited to the area within water haul OF the
seaboard, New York commanded this exclu
sive commerce. Blu. when New York
built the road to the Pacific above the
snow line Of the Rocky mountains, it oc-
cured to Philadelphia that according
to the American maxim enounced by Sam
Patch. 'Some things could be done as
well as others" and Philadelphia obtained
the control of the Southern Pacific rail-
road, and SO proposes to flank New York
out Of the trade of Asia and of all the
American continent lying south and be-
tween the Southern Pacific railroad and
Panama.
The following extracts from the PLila-
delphia Press show the commercial am
bition of the Quaker City. Note what is
said of market for the manufactures of
Philadelphia and New England" Those
manufactures will. We apprehend. be put
up in the Western factories OF Cincinnati.
Chicago and St. Louis.
America ought to command the trade of
the Pacific ami Eastern Asa. We need not
anticipate that our Western coast line will
never be extended, but if It should not
there is the greater reason now why we
must secure the trade before another ma
ton plants ports in Lower California and
the coast of Mexico. It would, however.
be cause for no small regret if. in case that
coast line becomes ours, we should see the
Pacific trade in the hands. as it promises to
be if we do not stir ourselves, OF the Aus
tyalians OF some other foreign nation. Ports
upon our Western coast must ultimately
depend very largely upon the lands of the
Pacific. These lands are large enough and
| rich enough to constitute ere long an intiu-
entail federal republic. We know of no
| part of the world, not even excepting the
| northern shores of the Mediterranean, where
| there there is more lovely climate or
more fruitful soil. While almost everywhere
the scenery anu vegetation combine with
| other advantages to add to the perfection
| Of a.; the principal Islands.
| There is a large NJ arket in these Eastern
| lands for the flour OF our Western States.
| and for the Ufac;iues Of Pennsylvania
| aid Ee,p E,gla:d. while in return the
islands even now, with nothing but native
enterprise to develop them, offer US gold
| and precious stones. diamonds, pearls
| rub:es, etc: lead, tin, copper. iron. COAL
| sandal wood, teak. various dye woods, in
djgo. pepper, camphor, coffee, sugar, hemp,
Japan wood. sage. rice. arrow root. flax.
! tobacco. cotton. maize. whale Oil and bone;
coral, sweet potatoes. bananas, plantans:
bread fruit, cloves, cinnamon, nutmegs. and

SHORT CUT CANALS.
An exchange saws:

The projec. Of cutting a cana! through
Care Cod is revived. The cape is but Six
miles across at its elbow. while the voyage
around is some sixty miles and often ex.
tremely perilous. Nearly two thousand
vessels have been wrecked in attempting to
double it during the last thirty years.
The tendency OF commerce is to save
every mile Of transportation and every
hour Of time practicable. While the ad-
vocates of this worl, advocate its impor-
lance, they viii please remember tina. a
cana. Of just the same length will so i'm
prove the Mississippi outlet as to deliver
to New England Western grain and other
provisions a. about half what it now costs
t. sent: them across Gy rail. Let tie
New England consumers instruct their
representatives u Congress to support the
application os New Orleans for an appro-
priatior to construct the Fort st. Philip
canal. This, b-a cut Q: only seven miles,
viii carry a thirty fest channel fcom the
river into the Gulf of Mexico.
