one as fixed in Ordinance No. 161, not

THE MOUTHS OF THE RIVER.

Between the point where bayou La
fonrche takes It's water from the main
river and Fcrt st. Philip. the Mississip-
pi averages 225O feet in width, with
an average depth of ia feet. In many
places it is very much deeper, one of
these being in front Of the French
market in New Orleans, where 2O8 #.
was shown by the sounding line.
Twenty miles below Fort st. Philip
the river becomes 1000 to 5000 feet
wide, with a maximum depth of 40 #.
with an area Of cross section of 25O.-
600 feet. 1t then separates into three
principal branches, known from the
directions they take as the Southwest
pass, the Northeast pass, and the South
pass. Northeast pass divides into two
principal branches known as South
west pass and Pass-a -l'Outre.
Southwest pass, which is the most
important of all, discharges 35 per
cent Of the rivers waters. Northeast
pass would be the chief outlet if it
were not broken up into two large and
several small branches but while it
discharges, collectively, SO per cent Of
the waters. it has always been inferior
to Southwest pass as a channel for nav
igatlon. South pass, at the time the
.jetties were put in its sea end. only
discharged 8 per cent of the rivers
water. South pass, Will, about 13 feet
on the bar. was used only by fishing
boats. Southwest pass had about II
feet Of water on the bar, which daily
dredging by the United States govern
ment raised to 18 aud sometimes to 19
feet. 1t was, before the construction
of the jetties, the principal gateway of
the liver.
The passes, as measured before the
opening of the jetties, had the follow
ing dimen sions:
South pass, II miles long, 1900 feet
mean width, 58 feet mean depth.
Northeast pass, 16 miles long, $4,000
feet mean width, 81 feet mean depth.
Pass "a -l'Outre, Is miles long, 1900
feet mean width, 36 feet mean depth.
South pass, IA miles long, 700 feet
mean width, "a feet mean depth. The
depth of the passes does not mean the
depth of the bars where they poured
their waters into the sea. The deep
est of tie passes on it's bar was the
Southwest, which had not more than
II feet, while the others had less.
In addition to the great passes.
there is, in the east bank of the river,
about two miles above the passes. an
outlet made by the river itself. in 1862.
1t is nearly, if not quite as wide as
any of the passes and discharges a
large body of water at all stages of
the river, but it is too shallow for
navigation, except by fishing craft.
On the west side of the river, about
10 miles below tie forts, is Cubltt's
gap. IA large outlet made by the river
Itself in 1889. 1t is 10 to II feet deep
ana probably 1000 feet wide.

went abroad as the direct result of
natural causes and not from the effects
of silver legislation, so, in turn, it is
now returning from natural causes.
During the week past ocean steamers
brought $40, 10000 in gold to New York.
During the same time one institution
in Chicago received 100000; another
$3.50, 900. All of this came from Eng
land and France and all was gold coin
for immediate use.
So that at present nearly all pay
ments made in the larger business
transactions in Chicago are made in
gold.
This importation came through
shipments of produce to those coun-
tries, and instead of accepting drafts
or other paper the shippers called for
their pay i'll gold and got it.
So III spite of the assertions of Cleve-
land and his Gold Bugs the Sherman
silver law which is still in active oper-
alton does not keep the yellow metal
out of the country. If we have any
thing that foreign nations need and
call for our pay il gold we get it.

THE SILVER QUESTION.

the money market Is caused largely
by these. But in addition to those
mentioned we haye
THE SILVER QUESTION.
This topic is now the all.absorbing
one for the reason that it involves the
character of our money and the fact
that it is now the subject of special
session of Congress.
Close newspaper readers will re-
member that President Cleveland has
always been an enemy to silver money.
He received this political training in
the great State of New York and it
was the vote of New York City that
made him first Governor of that State
and then President.
As soon Us his first term had expired
he opened his Office in the city of
millionaires, bulls, bears and brokers,
and thus came into close contact with
the "Gold Bugs. With this fact in
view it will not appear strange that
he should espouse their cause and
even before he was iuaugurated call
II meeting of his chiefs to try to get the
congress then sitting to commence
the attack on silver as he and his Wall
Street friends had planned it.
At that time there were no disturb
ances of values or of business enter
prises because of the use or coinage of
silver and the entire commercial in
terests of the nation were in most
prosperous condition.
But from the gathering of the clan
that the President had called together
for the purpose, IA cry went forth that
silver must be attacked or the stock
brokers would suffer. Wall Street
tool, up the cry and heralded it all
oyer the nation. The New York
Dailies were full of the hue and cry.
From this very point has animated
much of the untold amount of the
evil that has ensued because of dis
trust. And the attack has been kept
up until the apprehension and distrust
reached the hundreds of thousands of
people who had deposited their saw
ings in the various banks throughout
the nation. Many of these were work
ing men whose knowledge of our
financial system is limited and when
Cleveland and his supporters raised
the cry that our financial system had
driven the gold out of the country and
predicted all sorts of evils as Il con-
sequence, then they naturally became
alarmed and at once began TO draw
their deposits out of the banks.
There is no possible question that
the course that has thus been pursued
has withdrawn millions of. dollars
from circulation and this attack car
ried on in this manner, causing dis
trust and fear for the future, has been
another prolific cause of hard times.
