CHANGING TRADE.

Mr., Charles NJ. Harvey predicts in
1.-The Worlds Works" that the con
struction OF the Panama canal will
shift the trade center of the United
States from the east to the Mississip-
pi Valley, and the reasons upon
which he bases his predictions seem
possible, if not very probable There
Is little doubt that ia the near future
a ship canal from Chicago to the
Mississippi river, using Chicago's
drainage canal, will be constructed.
Indeed, a bill is nov pending il Con
gress,witn this end in iew.s.Con-
struction OF the Panama canal will
doubtless stimulate this enterprise
to contamination. When this il ac'
complished a vast deal of the i'm
mense trade which now reaches the
Atlantic by way Of the great lakes
the Erie canal and the Hudson river
will be diverted to the Gulf OF Mexico
by way OF the new canal and the
Mississippi, aud st. Louis and New
Orleans will prosper at the expense
of New York, Baltimore and Other
Atlantic coast cities.
Ofcourse it is not possible to fore
see the extent OF the change this con
dition of affairs would bring about
but much smaller events than the
construction of a great inter-oceaniC
canal. connecting the two greatest
bodies OF water on earth, have
changed the history OF the world, and
10 view OF these precedents it is not
too much 70 predict that the center
Of commercial activity will shift &c

There will be no Labor Day parade
this year. Instead a monster demon

estimated at $150,000. President w.
G.. Schardt of the federation has been
