THE FLORIDA SHIP CANAL.


The Importance OF the Enterprise Pro-
posed In the observation-disclosures Saw
ing in the Distance and Insurance--An
Anti-NionopoIy Line OF Transportation.
Nashville AmTicdn.
WASHINGTON May 3O-Tho organization
in this city some weeks ago of the Florida
Ship Canal and Transit company is an event
of very great importance and has created a
now interest in southern progress.
This canal will supplement and practically
prolong TO the Atlantic ocean the Mississippi
river, which, with its forty-two navigable
tributaries intersects nineteen states and ter.
rltories and comprises q system of internal
waterways now navigable to the extent of
1910 miles.
The saving in distance between New Or
leans and New York will be 571 statute miles
each way, or LAG miles on the round trip
The saving of distance between New Orleans
and Liverpool will bo 473 statute miles each
way, or GAG miles on the round trip.
The saving In insurance will be still greater
than distance on account of the dangers of
the present routo around the straits of Florida.
The Importance of this saving In distance
and insurance may be seen at glance by es-
timatng tho grain products Of the Misss-
sippi valley, and for this purpose lot us take
not the twenty-five states and territories in
torsectcd by tho Mississippi river and its
tributaries, but simply the fourteen valley
states proper. Their products during tho
year 1870 contrasted with tho total products
of the whole United States were as follows

Year 1870.
United States.
states. ,2ess sis7OO 2s9. .7os $50 2aoas, 100

Per cent. OF national product grown in the four
teen valley states-Corn, ST. wheat 81; oats CO.
This table is from q valuable pamphlet on
the Tehuantepec canal, by Mr.. A. ID. Ander-
son, of this city.
But the necessity of this commercial outlet
from the gulf to the Atlantic becomes still
more apparent when we combine tlre leading
products of the valley with those Of the re-
naming three gulf states; in other words, the
products Of the above menttshed fourteen
river states, with those Of Texas, Alabama,
and Florida.
Their combined products for the year 1879,
contrasted with those of the whole United
States for the same year, show that they
yielded in quantity
Eighty-fve per cent. of the corn.
Sixty-five per cent. of the wheat.
Sixty-two per cent. Of tho oats.
This latter table is from q work on tho
Mississippi river by Mr.. A. ID. Anderson.
The building of the Florida ship canal gives
a great anti-monopoly line of transportation.
The Eric canal, it is we'll known, regulates
the railway freights between the lakes and
the Atlantic coast, and so will the Florida
canal to a greater extent regulate all the rail-
ways north of it between tho Mississippi val
ley and the Atlantic seaboard. 1t is pecu-
liarly a southern enterprise, and of far
greater commercial Importance than any
heretofore inaugurated.
selection of its officers. Its president, Gov.
John c. Brown, is one of the most popular
and progressive of southern men, who has
shown the greatest energy and executive
ability in another important southern on
terprise, and who has the confidence of men
of capital Hon. George @. Gorham, its Sec
retary, is a man like Gov. Brown, of great
popularity, rare Judgment, and fine execu-
tive and administrative ability.
Recent dispatches from Europe announce
that active steps are being taken to construct
a second and parallel Suez canal to meet the
growing demands of commerce. Surely If the
trade of the European Mediterranean requires
| two outlets to accommodate its trade the i'm
mense and rapidly growing commerce of the
