BOOKS.

James o. Fallon, agent for the publish
ing house of P. F. Collier, Chicago, is in
the city for the purpose of securing orders
for new and popular edition of the works
Of such standard authors as Shakespeare,
Byron, Moore, Burns, Dickens, ETC.
The plan adopted by this house has
proved generally agreeable to the reading
public, and enables persons with limited
means to supply themselves with the
works of the best authors The books are
uniform, and are bound in French moroc-
co or English cloth, and are delivered for
$1.00. The payments are made in weekly
installments of 25 cents each, which gives
mechanics and the laboring classes gener-
ally, the opportunity of securing a small
library and Of paying for tue works pur
chased in an economical manner.
The Dickens edition is in six volumes,
and cost but SO. The payment on these
works is 81 per month or so cents per
week
Shakespearss Tragedies are in one book
bound in Morocco and sold for So. on pay
ments of % cents per week.
Moore's poetical works are in one book,
bound like Shakespeare. and like it sold for
So, on the same payments.
The Waverly novels come in three vol
umes for IS, and are sold like the other
works.
Mr. O'Fallon has a fine collection of
albums that he is selling on the same pop
ular plan.
All these works are elegantly bound and

THE CANAL.

The construction of the Hennepin and
Rock Island canal receives the following
good send off from the United States Econ
onatst:
THE desirability of such a canal is APP
parent at a glance, as it would open a
short and rapid connection between the
Northern Mississippi and the lakes, and
would thus immensely develop the water
ways of the country. Cheap
transportation is natural necessity.
Without it we cannot hope to transport
the great mountain of food that will be
raised in the Mississippi Valley and the
Northwest when these lands are made still
more productive. Our present system of
internal Improvements does not and can
not meet our wants. What the country
needs is more commodious outlets to the
sea, and freer intercourse fer the
exchange of various products among
ourselves. Canals are needed that
will open the fiood-gates of trade
from the Northwest to the Atlantic.
railroads alone cannot meet our wants
as the experience of the past has proved
beyond doubt. The rapidly increasing
products of the West, and the correspond
ing increase of its demand for the manu-
featuring, mechanical, and other products
OF the East, demand continuous water
communication between the East and West
as public highways, at low cost of trans
portation. Then corn would no longer
sell from one to two dollars per bushel in
one part of the country, while in another
part it is burned as fuel We should no
longer import iron while her hills are rich
with ore. Now it costs too much to get
the food to the miners and the iron away
from the mines after it is man ufactured
The late Commodore NJ. r. hurry gave
the difference between the various modes
OF transportation as follows: Railroad
transportation 500 per cent. cheaper than
by road wagon; transportation by free
canal 600 per cent. cheaper than by rail,
and by river $50 per cent. cheaper making
an extreme difference of $50 per cent in
favor of the cheapest inland transportation
by water.
