Download or read book Improvement of the Mississippi River written by Mississippi River Improvement Committee and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-19 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Improvement of the Mississippi River: May 3, 1878 This river system, considered as a whole, extends from north to south, from one climate to another. Nature has provided that different cli mates shall furnish different products, and it is but in accordance with those designs and sound principles of political economy that the chief commercial exchanges Of the United States should be in the same direc tion. In America, at least, those principles of trade have been disre garded, and the exchanges have been too much on parallels Of latitude. But, regardless of what has been the practice, it is a fact which cannot be gainsaid, that the most important trade for the United States to secure is that of the nations lying south of us, and within easy reach of the Mississippi Valley. Of the valley itself it may be said that the northern and southern portions are, in climate, resources, and products, the supplement of each other. Of the valley, and the spanish-american nations, it may he said that one is, in climate, products, resources, supply, and demand, the complement of the other. The Mississippi River furnishes facilities for exchanges on that principle, and is, there fore, economically correct. True public economy requires that such laws of nature and trade be not disregarded. Again, this highway is in accordance with the rule of political economy as well as common sense, which is that channels of commerce be located in regions which are sufficiently fertile and settled to furnish products for transportation. The most productive portions of the United States are the rich valleys extending up and down the Missis sippi and its many tributaries. The highway was located where most needed, and where it can perform the greatest service in the shape of transportation. Again, it is in accordance with the strictest principles of political economy in that it was constructed without expense. The single State of New York had, up to the close of 1866, expended in the construction, improvement, and enlargement of her miles of canals. It will be Observed that the mileage of these canals which cost such an enormous sum is not quite one-tenth the mileage of the Mississippi River system which cost nothing.

Download or read book The Mississippi River written by and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-27 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Mississippi River: Its Hydraulics, Value, and Control Dear Sir: The improvement of the mouth of the Mississippi, proposed by me, consists in an artificial extension of the natural banks of one of the passes, from the point where they commence to widen and disappear in the Gulf to the crest of the bar, about five miles distant. This method is indicated as the only proper one by the following facts: The Mississippi is simply a transporter of solid matter to the sea. This consists chiefly of sand and alluvion, which is held in suspension by the mechanical effect of the current. A small portion, consisting of larger aggregations, such as gravel, boulders, small lumps of clay, and drift wood, is rolled forward along the bottom. By far the greatest portion is, however, transported in suspension. The amount of this matter, and the size and weight of the particles which the stream is enabled to hold up and carry forward, depend wholly upon the rapidity of the stream, modified, however, by its depth. The banks and bottom being chiefly sand and alluvion, are easily disintegrated by the movement of the water, hence the amount of load lost by any slacking of the current at one place will be quickly recovered in the first place below where the current is again increased.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Floods and Levees of the Mississippi River I have undertaken to collate such data, and set out in orderly sequence such related incidents as are thought necessary to a proper understanding of the problem to be solved. The platforms of all three of the great political parties in 1912, distinctly, specifi cally and emphatically declared that the control of the floods of the Mississippi River was a national problem, and the Democratic party went so far as to declare that this problem imposes an obli gation which alone can be discharged by the General Government. In accepting the nomination of the Baltimore Convention, Mr. Wil son said: In the case of the Mississippi River, that great central artery of our trade, it is plain that the Federal Government must build and maintain the levees and keep the great waters in harness fur the general use.
