APPENDIX.
tain the opinion, that by the year of our Lord two thousand, Cincinnati is to become the greatest city in the world. Ac- cording to the foregoing estimate, that our valley will, one hundred years from this time, number two hundred millions of people, the average per square mile, over its whole extent, would be about one hundred and forty. With all its agricul- tural capabilities fully developed, it will sustain nearly four times that number, which would raise our numbers up to nearly eight hundred millions. By lowering the ratio of in- crease for every ten years after 1940, from thirty-three and a third per cent. to twenty per cent. and calculating the increase upon that ratio up to the year two thousand, the numbers of the whole country will amount to eight hundred and ninety- four millions. During this period of sixty years, it is likely that the ratio of increase will rapidly diminish, but, as it com- mences with a density of only one hundred and forty to the square mile, twenty per cent. is too low for the first half, and probably as much too high for the last half of the period. I have therefore adopted it as a fair medium.
England, whose surface exhibits a considerable portion un- fit for tillage, with a population of two hundred and forty to the square mile, doubles it once in forty-two years, notwith- standing the great emigration thence to other countries. If then, it be allowed, that we are to have seven or eight hundred millions inhabiting this valley, by the year two thousand, and that too mainly of the descendants of Anglo-Americans, is there much room for doubt, that such a population must have for its center of business the greatest city then existing ? Is there on the earth, another region of as great extent, so fer- tile, so furnished with facilities for intercommunication, situa- ted in so good a climate, and in so rapid progress of settlement and improvement by so vigorous and intelligent a population ?
Let us now see what facilities for internal commerce nature has bestowed on the west; and we need not, we trust, prove, at the outset, that the bank of a navigable river is at least as favorable for the lading and unlading of produce and merchan- dize as the shore of the Atlantic, and that the country in its rear can have as ready and as easy access to it for purposes of trade. It will be allowed then, that, for internal trade, the country bordering the Ohio, Mississipi, and other rivers ad- mitting steam navigation, are, at least, as well situated, as if laved by the waters of an ocean. Cincinnati being in our opinion, as before expressed, the leading city of the great western valley, we choose to connect that particularly with
285
APPENDIX.
our argument, not doubting, however, that other and very many great towns will grow up on the western waters.
From Pittsburg to Cincinnati, both shores of the Ohio amount to more than nine hundred miles. From Cincinnati to New Orleans, there is a river coast of the Ohio and Mis- sissipi of more than three thousand miles. The Upper Mis- sissipi, from the mouth of the Ohio to the falls of St. Antho- ny, has one thousand six hundred miles of fertile shore. The shores of that part of the Missouri which has been navigated by steam, amount to four thousand miles. One of the nume- rous tributaries of the Missouri, the Yellow-stone, is repre- sented to be as large, and to afford as extensive navigation as the Ohio. The Arkansas and Red rivers, together, have not less extent of steamboatable waters than the Missouri. The shores of the Illinois, Wabash, Tennessee, Cumberland, St. Francis, White, Wachitta, and Des Moines rivers, as far only as those streams can be navigable by large steamboats, amount to about four thousand miles. Although the above enumera- tion leaves out a great many streams on which large steam vessels will, at some future day, ply for thousands of miles, it is believed that enough has been brought into this estimate for my purpose. Here, then, are fertile shores falling little short of twenty thousand miles, which can easily be visited by large steam vessels the greater part of the year. Accord- ing to Mr. Flint, the boatable waters of the Ohio and its tribu- taries alone, amount to five thousand miles, and those of the Mississipi, including all its tributaries and bayous, are esti- mated by the same author at forty thousand miles. Taking all these streams together, they probably afford facilities for trade nearly equal in value to the same number of miles of common canals.
What reasonable man, then, having informed himself on the subject, can doubt that, in the midst of these wonderful facilities for trade, with such a soil, and peopled and peopling by the most active and enterprising, and, in some respects, intelligent population on the globe, prodigious cities must here grow up, and with a rapidity having no example on the Atlan- tic coast. You will look, in vain, on that border for towns exhibiting such rapid advances in wealth and population as Cincinnati, Pittsburg, and Louisville have experienced since 1825. And who can doubt that they will continue to advance in a rapidly increasing ratio, unless Providence, by some un- foreseen event, should stop the tide of immigration, and dry

up the prolific sources of increase at home, which, in their wonderful fecundity, seem to insure us, at no distant day, a multitudinous population, independent of foreign supply.
But our interior cities do not depend for their development altogether on the domestic trade ; they can partake, with their Atlantic sisters, of the foreign, also; and if, as some suppose, the profits of commerce increase with the distance at which it is carried on, and the difficulties which nature has thrown in its way, the western marts will have the same advantage over their eastern rivals in foreign commerce, which some claim for the latter over the former in our domestic trade. Cincinnati may use the outports of New Orleans and New York, as Paris and Vienna use those of Havre and Trieste ; and it may come to pass, that steamships from Europe will enter our great lakes, and be seen booming up the Mississipi.
To add strength and conclusiveness to the above facts and comments, do our readers ask for examples ? They are at hand. The first city mentioned in the Bible is Nineveh, situ- ated on the Tigris, at least seven hundred miles from its mouth. Babylon, built not long after, was also situated far in the interior on the river Euphrates; in the fertile valley of which and of the Tigris, existed the densest population, and of course the greatest cities of that period. Indeed, most of the great cities of antiquity, some of which were of immense extent, were situated in the interior, and mostly in the valleys of large rivers, meandering through rich, alluvial territories ; for example, Thebes, Memphis, and Ptolemais, the ancient and once populous capital of Egypt. Other great cities of antiquity were located in the interior, without reference to facilities to commerce by water transportation, as Ecbatana, Palmyra, Balbec, and Jerusalem. Of the cities now known as centers of commerce, a large majority will be found, on examination, to have been built and sustained, almost exclu- sively by domestic commerce. What country has so many great cities as China? a country which, until lately, had no foreign commerce with enlightened nations.
For the purpose of bringing the comparison home to the eyes and understandings of all, the outports and interior towns of the world, having a population of fifty thousand and up- wards each, are placed side by side. It should, however, be borne in mind, that many of the great seaports have been built, and are now sustained, almost exclusively, by the trade of the nations respectively in which they are situated. Even

If it be said, that the discoveries of the polarity of the mag- netic needle, the continent of America, and a water passage to India round the Cape of Good Hope, have changed the cha- racter of foreign commerce, and placed the towns engaged in

it, in a much more favorable condition, than those of the same class previous to those events, it may be replied, that the in- troduction of steam in coast and river navigation, and of canals and railroads, to connect and bring into easy communication the most distant portions of the most extended continents, to- gether with a wonderfully improved system of road-making, are still more potent causes for the advancement of internal trade.
The introduction of steamboats on rivers, and the construc- tion of canals, railways, and McAdamized roads, being of re- cent date, have not yet had time to produce the great results which they are inevitably destined to effect. The last ten years have been devoted to the construction of those labor- saving instruments of commerce, during which period, more has been done to facilitate internal trade, than had been ef- fected for the thousands of years since the creation of man. These great machines are but just beginning to be used ; but who will cast his vision so far into the future, and embrace with it a horizon so wide, as to comprehend their effects with- in the North American Valley, when their energies shall have been brought to bear over all its surface? In comparing the external with the internal commerce of other parts of the world, it should also be borne in mind, that, while many countries have territories bordering the ocean greatly superior to our Atlantic slope, no one government has an interior at all worthy a comparison with ours.
It will be observed, that, in speaking of the natural facilities for trade in " the North American Valley," I have left out of view the four or five thousand miles of rich and accessible coasts of our great lakes, and their connecting straits. The trade of these inland seas, and its connection with the Missis- sipi Valley, are deemed to be subjects too important to be treated only incidentally in an article of so general a nature as this. At some other time, (if they are not previously discuss- ed by an abler hand,) I shall probably communicate some facts and observations thereupon.
The subject of our internal trade cannot but be viewed as of vast importance; and the writer is as well aware as the most fastidious reader can be, that the foregoing remarks upon it have fallen far short of its merits; but his object will have been accomplished, if his views, as herein expressed, serve to awaken the attention of reflecting men, and to urge them to a more thorough examination of its bearing on the prosperity and happiness of our glorious republic.
