Total ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. .E3l9 000, QUO
The surplus of imports of 1877 Is estimated
at probably E75,0oO,0OO, making the total un-
favorable balance considerably in excess OF
the total amount collected from France. The
logic of this seems to be that the excessive
enterprise and extravaganza partly occasioned
by the intoxication OF conquest and the ac-
QUESTION Of French treasure, and partly due
to the general speculative tendencies Of the
Christian world up to 1874, caused the Ger
mans to waste much more treasure in foreign
countries than they gained from France. The
worst feature Of the matter, however. is that
the subsequent fall In the prices of labor and
merchandise has not reduced the balances
against her, which, on the other hand, con-
tinue to increase. This would argue real ele-
mentary poverty in industrial resources, pre-
venting her from competing successfully with
other nations either wit h the produce of the
farm or workshop.
The New York Commercial Bulletin thinks
the people who live on the Mississippi river
ought to improve the navigation of it them
selves, and not call on the general govern
ment to do it. In commenting on the de-
mands made by the st. Paul convention, it
says:
"They want "a good stage of water, but
u.
Barges, too, they must have, but the dredg-
ing necessary to get water enough to float
them down the Mississippi must be met by
drafts on Washington, million upon million.
Is this fair? Here in New York we want the
Erie canal deepened and widened, too, in
order to compete with the railroads and keep
our share of the grain trade. The job will
cost some millions, but nobody here that we
know of Is thinking of asking the Federal
government to step in and foot the bill, albeit
the Western farmers are almost as directly
concerned in it as we are. We propose to set
sippi Valley friends would adopt a sound
economic policy, as we'll as position of
manly State independence, they will con-
slider whether, on the whole, they can do bet
ter than follow in the same path"
Commenting on the above, the st. Louis
Republican says:
1t Is amusing to see the great river Of the
country, which, with its tributaries, washes
the shores ofseventeen States, compared to an
The Erie canal was intended to draw traffic
tolthe city of New York; it lies within the
limits OF one State; it possesses not single
national characteristic; it is not free water
way; all traffic passing through it must pay
toll to the State of New York, whose property
it Is. But the Mississippi does not belong to
any one State, nor to any dozen States. 1t
courses through the national domain from
north to south. No State dares to vex it with
tolls or taxgatherers; and no State can af-
ford to improve it. If it is ever to be i'm
proved at ali-and there is urgent need for
this-the work must be done by the general
government which has always regarded it as
a national stream. Ii the Federal authority
and resources ought not to be directed to re-
moving Instructions in this great river, it
would be difficult to name an object on which
they ought to be directed.
