ship CANAL DISCUSSED.
What Was Done at The Meeting in Gin.
Cinnati.
Secretary Cochran Talks of the Way
the Project Is Received and What
the Engineers Will Have to Do.

From Toledo Commercial19.l
Secretary Cochran got back from Cincin-
natl yesterday morning, where he represent
ed the Toledo chamber of commerce at
conference to consider the feasibility OF
making a ship canal of the old Miami d Erie
canal. The meeting was held at the govern
ment building, There we're present delegates
from Cincinnoti, Toledo, Dayton, Hamilton,
Piqua, Lockland, other small towns along
the course of the canal. They all were in
favor of widening and deepening the canal,
SOUNDS LIKE BUSINESS.
Colonel Stickney, senior member of the
government canal survey, was there to meet
the delegates, with General Poe, OF Detroit.
Besides these, Colonel Backdell, assistant
engineer of the Cincinnati board of public
works, and Civil Engineer Burke, an expert
on canal surveys, were there.
Speaking of the meeting, Secretary Coch-
ran said: ut was meeting to see what If
anything, the government engineers would
do to assist us in improving the canal. The
survey would cost in the neighborhood of
100000 and the appropriation for canal sur
veys is ouly $4,000, and this is limited to
canals of certain mention.
WHAT THE ENGINEERS WILL Do.
"We want ten engineers to report on the
expediency and proprietv of the proposed
improvement; to examine the existing lines
of the canal between Lake Erie and the Ohio
river aud other rivers and courses that may
be fit for ship canals.
''The engineers will only be able to make
a general report on account of being SO
limited in appropriation. They will ask
.conk.eoss to give them more tims to make
their port.
Secretary Cochran hopes to see a ship canal
made of the old Miami & Erie canal, because
1t would undoubtedly add greatly to the
commercial interests of the towns and cities
along lis course.

wheat-Raising and Farming.
From Harper's Weekly.

From Harper's Weekly,
Agriculture in the United States in
one of its chief branches has another
very important competitor in the field.
The Argentine Republic promises
soon to become the greatest wheat
producing country in the world. The
planters there have but recently be-
gun the expectation of wheat, but the
increase has been very rapid-rapld,
however, is so steady way that we
cannot speak of it as a mere tempo
rary or spasmodic contribution to the
worlds supply. These shipments from
Argentine were first noticed IN 1892,
when about 100000 bushels were
sent to Europe; in 1893 the shipments
amounted to As 100000; in the first
half of 1894 the shipments had been
about As, 600, 900, and the indications
in Buenos Ayes were that before the
end of the year the shipments would
aggregate $4,000, 900. Another crop
will be harvested there in December,
and this promise to amount to l25,-
100000. There are five million peo.
pie in Argentine, and if we allow FIVE
bushels per capita for home consump.
ton, it will easily be seen that in the
South American republic there will
be surplus of lOO,OGO,OOO bushels
and this, of course, will go to the
European markets and Brazilian mar.
kets once supplied by us. TheBrazilians
have abrogated the treaty of recipoci.
ty with us, and naturally our -four
and wheat, once exchanged for sugar
will have to find other purchasers.
The shipments of agricultural ma
chlnery from this country to Argen-
tine are at present greater than ever
before, and this shows that the wheat
planters there are preparing to enlarge
the acreage, as the machines most IN
demand are reapers, mowers, and
threshers. There are other consider
ations that make this Argentine com
petition formidable. The climate is
mild there, and the food plentiful and
cheap. The laborers do not need tc
be housed or clothed so we'll as those
who work in our harsher climate
Then, again, the Argentine wheat
growing regions are quite near tht
seaboard, and there is no need for (
} long and costly land haul to the placs
of expectation.
These considerations make it wist
for US to look at the future of wheat
culture in the United States with can
dor and frankness. 1t will do NJ
manner of good to underrate the i'm
portance of facts because we hold tn
Latins of South America in lov
esteem. 1t would be wiser Tor us t.
come in competition with them onl
when We can beat them, or at leas
hold oul own. We cannot beat ther
in any game that requires the Ameri.
, can farmers to live as the Italia
q laborers live who till the fertile So
: of the plains of South America. No
should our farmers abandon the tielc
to any competitors, however formid
: able. In other words, we should b
s no means consider the possibility
s no longer cultlvating wheat. But W
should cultivate it more wisely.

Some Incidents OF Lafayotto'a Toar
Through the United states In 1884.

under command Of General Daniel, met tho
distinguished guest near the Virginia line.
There was much hand shaking and speech
making. Lafayette spoke but little Eng

a few phrases, such as "Thnuksw My dear
friend" Great country Happy manW
"Ah, / remember And though he usual
ly uttered these In mn effective manner
they were sometimes ludicrously malapro-
pos.
At Halifax the cortege was met by Cen
eral Daniel, who had stationed "A company
Of soldiers by the roadside, fanked by the
ladies who had assembled 70 do honor 20
the guest Of the state. Il had been arrnng
ed that the ladies should wave their hand

come, Lafayette" the whole company was

Unluckily the ladies misunderstood the
programme and waited too long, only 20 be-
reminded Of their duty by a stentorian com

generals speech, repeated the sentence one

Then the next man would squeak, in a

Lafayette, turning to General Polk. who

Recognizing an old acquaintance, Lafay-

"Ah, my dear friend, 20 glad to see you
once more Hope you have prospered and
had good fortune these years"
Yes, general, yes; but | have had the
