Indiana has no direct foreign commerce, but it has a vast domestic and inter-state trade by means of its navigable waters and magnificent systems of railroads and canals. Its geographical posi- tion is such that the whole land commerce be- tween the manufacturing states of the east and the country west of the Mississippi must pass through its territory. Evansville is a United States port of delivery. In 1873 there were enrolled here 75 vessels with an aggregate ton- nage of 11,474. In 1845 there were 30 m. of railroad in Indiana; in 1855, 1,406; in 1865, 2,217; in 1870, 3,177; and in 1873, 3,544. Of the 92 counties of the state, all but five were in the last mentioned year traversed by rail- roads. The following table exhibits the rail- roads of the state in 1873, with their termini; also the assessed value, including main and side track and rolling stock, as reported by the state board of equalization : CORPORATIONS.
