her.
St. Louis should be, and still will be, a town of great wealth. To no city can have been given more means of riches. I have spoken of the enormous New Zealand Jerseys mileage of water communication of which she is the center. The country around her produces Indian-corn, wheat, grasses, hemp, and tobacco.
