The Mississippi as a seaboard.

Herbert Quick IN March Putnams
and The Reader: Is there any natural
and dominating artery in the drainage
OF the continent. the magnitude and
extent of which marks il as the inevit-
able center Of any system which we
may adopt? The answer Of every man
with 4 map of the continent In his
mind is that there is such waterway,
and that ii is the Mississippi river. This
Is the nations great asset In inland
navigation. 1t must be the keystone
OF the arch of our waterways system.
the backbone which must uphold our
perfected transportation plan. the aOrta
OF our !deal tratiiC-CirCulatiOn.
The highest estimate ever advanced
for a 3O-fOOt channel from the gulf to
the lakes is S34j 600. 900, and this must
be fully 80 per cent over the mark.
VIII il pay? This. with the many, is
the sole question What shall We get
for our money If We spend $500 900 900
to bring the ocean to the farm? Five
billion dollars must be spent within
few years on transportation account,
in any case; for our cOngested railway
conditions must be remedied. SliCinS
the continent through from Quebec to
New Orleans with new SeabOard
would cut through the COngested freight
yards like a surgeons knife through a
tumor, and extend its direct influence
TO every city from which traffic might
be billed up or down the new naviga-
ton. Southern cotton, lumber and coal
under the new rates would find their
market enlarged many fold, and North
ern corn, hay and wheat would reach
cheaply hundred Southern cities now
suffering for them. our great lake
ships would pass out into the gulf. re-
store to the salt seas our merchant ma
rine and earn profits during winters
now spent in idleness. The seaboard,
instead of being at New York o. Gal
weston, would be at Chicago. ST. Louis
