Opening the Mouth of the Missouri River Jetty Plan
Captain Eads of St Louis proposes opening the mouth of the Mississippi to allow heavy laden vessels to reach seaboard by water. He offers to fund the work at his own expense with potential government payment of four million dollars if successful. Opponents cite Florida canal rival and eastern money power aiming to retain control of transport rates. The plan could lower western and southern shipping costs, challenge rail monopolies, and shift trade toward southern and western markets. The piece argues Western and Southern lawmakers should support the measure against eastern interests.
