A union of l.ako Michigan with tho gulf would ho n mighty step in this direction, and if followed by proper improvement of all the other rivers in this imperial valley would give us tho necessary standard for tho richest and most populous part of the republic. The Mississippi is now being joined to I ho Kin Grande hy an intcrcoastal canal, on which work iu in progress; tho people of Florida, Alabama mid Mississippi nro strongly urging n coastal canal from the Atlantic to New Orleans; and the Atlantic const from Massachusetts to Florida is thoroughly alive to the necessity of an inland waterway from Boston to Jacksonville; hence wo'mny reasoiw nlily expect to see iu tho near future a standard system of canals and riv ers that will permit freight to move by water without breaking hulk from nearly every point in tho Union east of the liockics to every other point; just as is dono now hy rail."
