To-day's Louisville Courier Journal says: I'VE
understand that effort will be made soon to ask
Uncle Sam for free foliage of the canal here
The fact OF the business is, Louisville not only
wants a free canal but free wharf and the
sooner she has both the better it will be for her
business. Were it not for the business steam
boats do for chs city might MS well fence i'll the
town. and let railroads continue to run through
and around us to Cincinnati. Lord, lord! what u
city this would be # Cincinnati men and
muscle had possession of it As it is, it is pretty
good town for rich man to live in, but it's no
place for business Cincinnati sends out thou
sands to scare up" business and trade genera
", and Drive, it into her gates;
While Louisville keeps her gates shut, and
expects trade to jump the fence, while onr
business men sit Watching and waiting TO snatch
the first one who jumps "baldheaded. Wake up,
here, everybody! Don't wear out the town and
yourselves with it, waiting, only waiting" for
trade TO come.
