nOnoreQ graves! Nnelner In6 prize OF
fered in the control of or fair competition
for the commerce of the Pacific is not suf
ficient to Justify one more attempt, in the
hope that the lessons of the past and the
purer patriotism of this day may not be
sufficient to enable our public men to re
sist the temptation to take advantage q
public necessity of personal gain is {
question worthy the most serious consider
alton of our, merchants, officers, statesmen
and people.
With the Northern Pacific completed
and first class line of American steamer;
on the Pacific the products OF Japan, OF
China and the East Indies can be laid
down at our doors in thirty days. It is not
too much to believe that few years will
witness through bills of lading between
st. Paul, Yokohama, Canton and Hong
Kong, and that fabrics manufactured by
our water powers on the Otter Tail, St.
Louis, st. Croix and Mississippi, now run
ming to waste, will find their readiest and
best market with the merchant princes of
the Orient, who henceforth will soon find
the west by travelling east, and that there
by the countless millions of wealth that
hitherto have been received by the cities
of western Asia and Europe will be re-
ceived and retained by the producing
classes and merchants of the northwest.
