ALL SECTIONS UNITED.
In the discussion of imlpr,,ve.
meniit of the inland waterways of
the United States, the fact that
the old time policy of spiradic
appropriations for special ,llj. ctQ.
not regarding the charact. r io,r

proved, is especially in,tice, al l'
The reasoni, holugh ol,,vii s al

when improved, devchpl,lmenlt can
proceed oin unhampere(d liues with
freight congesti.ºis avidled and

and a market always open.
Moreover, all sections of the'
United States are united on thie
axiomatic proposition that all ii
land waterways worthy of in
provement and with tonage t)ear
ing capacity when improved, are
component parts of one nmagnif
