American people Annually Pay Out

In. fur tin' otin !' of Ih'IrM and pits
reURor, as they i y In I axon or tlio
support of government, national, stato
and local"
That transportation affects the prlco
of everything Hint everybody buys,
soils, mils, we.us or uses In any way
whatever nlr, water and sunshine ex
cepted? That cheap transportation benefits
both the producer nfid the consumer,
mnkliiK wheat and mi ton higher nnd
Hour untl cloth lower nt one and tho 4
same time?
That the cheapest known transpor
tation Is water tniusportniion, cotin;
on the average, from one sixth to one
tenth as much an transportation by
rail?
That the direct saving on the gools
actually carried by wateV in tho
Fnlted States is over ?-'o.ni)0,000 a
year?
That railways always make lower
rates when subject to the competition
of waterways than where such compo-
tltlou does not exlnl? i
That I he Indirect saving, thus
caused, Is probably as largo ua the di-
reel saving given above?
'Hint bol'. the direct and indliect '
savlig would he largely increased by
the furl her Improvement of our water- i
wnys" ,i
Thai waiorways always Increase tho.j
profit k of the r-Mways with wlilch thqy j
come lulu coni I'litlon? For the rea
son that waterway, by giving cheap 1
tranrportatlon lor raw materials, aetu-
ally creato both Industry and com- :
merce? As Is Indicated by the tact
That In 1900 there was only nv vyj
in the fulled Slates, with a population
of 150,000 or over, which was not lo
cated on a navigable waterway? And j
further J
How Frankfort Benefited.
That Frankfort, (icrufttny. grew
more In the twenty years alter tlio
River Main was canaii.eii man it uau
grown In the two hundred years bo
fore? And again
That Germany, which is nearly GO,
000 square miles smaller Hutu Texas,
but has one of the finest waterway
systems in the world, had in ItiOS a
foreign commerce greater than that of
the United Stntes by over $500,000,
000? That throughout the civilized world
the largest, cities, the densest popula
tion, the busiest and most prosperous
people are to be found along naviga
ble waterways?
That the surest 'tad speediest way
to develop the resources of tho nation
and evory state and section thereof,
to increase the growtli of every city
and community in the country, to pro
mote the prosperity of every Interest,
including the railroads, and of every
citizen, enst, west, north and south, Is
to improve all our waterways as fast
and as far as we can?
That money used for the Improve
ment of waterways, wisely, planned
and honestly constructed, Is not an
expenditure but nn investment, which
will pay a dividend of at least 100 per
cent a yeat
Provision for Funds.
That the benelits' which would ro
ault from the comprehensive Improve
ment of our waterways, and the losses
which would follow our failure to
make such Improvement, are so enor
mous, that funds should be provided
by the Issuance of bonds as has been
done by railways so that the work
may he begun at once and finished as
soon as possible?
That the national government claims
exclusive Jurisdiction ind exercises
supreme control over all navigable wa
terways? And therefore
That It depends entirely on tho con
gress of the United StateB whether
the work of creating a great national
system of waterways shall be done at
all ,snd how soon It shall bo finished?
That the vote of the member of con
gress from your district will help to
docide the policy of tho government
with regard to waterways?
That the action of congressmen Is
inlliiencpd-by the wishes of their con
Rtltuents. when they know what thoso
wNhos are?
'Hint mi have the right to ask tho
cnmlldalcH for congress In your dis
trict to state their position on I his
question now, tx'foro tlio election?
That you aro blind to your own In
terests If you do not ask your canill
i dates to pledge themsolves to work
1 and 'vote for waterways if elected, and
I then demand of the one who is elect
ed that he shall keep his pledge?
The facts and tlgures given In this
series of artlclos have been submitted
in the hope that those who read them
would see the importance of the policy
of waterway Improvement advocated
by the National Rivers and Harbors
congress, and would aid in seeurlnR
the adoption of that 'policy How well
thoy have served the purpose for
which they were written juimj be left
for their readers to decide
Kvery obstruction to tho free and
open navigation of our waterways Is
a brako on the whceU oi nntiijtry.
In previous articles It was shown

hail rhey fithcrwle would, and tin i

Several Instances were given to sup

writer, who has studied tlie subject lor

o: liKtii'tlt, and uoi a sIhkIc Instance
of harm, to railways from the lm
innei.ii'iit of wuierw ny.. It n now In
nrr to ; if wo can llnd a reason
I nir llils rather surprising result.
Watn'ways, an lias been said before,
j; induce hencllts in tlireo princ'jnl
i' by direct Mining in the cost o;
i Miinsportatlon of gootls carried by
.Miter, Indiiuct Having, by the lower-
lug of railway rales through the com
petition of water routes, anil by what
may be called a creative effect. It
is this last named effect wlilch wo
are now to consider.
Manchester, liiigland, before jHie con
struction of the ship canal, was a
dying town. Iluiidicds of stoics and
thousands of dwellings were empty,
factories were chs'd some moved
away and population was dee.rensiiig
Willi Hi" opening of the canal all this
was changed. Faotorless reopened,
now ones were built, the empty houses
were refilled and thousands of new
ones built to accommodate the popula
ion that came pouring in. And the
i nefiiH were not confined to Manches
ter alone, hut were distributed over
the whole great Industilul region, con
.lining over S.OOO.OUU people, of which
;itichostor Is the center. It w:i.s noi
".: uuuriil. bin 1h i':ili!e. thai the
, at .iutc.o.' la , ,. . Jun and pros
ii'i'ity in Muni-hcttcr nnd the surround
lug region should be l'eilccted In the
l)t!sli)c!s and the profits of the rail
wins therein.
Liverpool Also Aided.
l.herpool fought desperately to pre
lent i ho building of the canal and the
establishment of the now port of Man
chester; but instead ol being Injured
by the canal, the bu. Ini'ss oi Liverpool
has Increased lastor than before. Dur
ing the lo years bciore the canal was
opened tho increase in the harbor re
ceipts at Liverpool was only $1510,000;
in the same length of timo after it
was opened the Increase was $1,:J05,
000. The G.uou.OOO ions of traltlc at
.Manchester have not been stolen from
Liverpool, they have been created by
the canal.
Frankfort, Germany, before the
Hiver Main was Improved, wus not a
dying city but was decidedly stagnant.
Mannheim and Mayeuce on the Rhine,
which had been improved, were grow
ing rapidly, while Frankfort was grow
ing very little. As soon as the canal
ization of the river was finished, which
was in 188G, tho city began to grow
and has kept on growing ever since.
The population, which was 154,000 in
1SS5, has Increased to 1.9,01)0 in 1895,
to u',!5,000 in 1905, and Is probably
more than '100,000 now. Kvldently the
people of Frankfort expect their city
to keen on growing, too. They spent
over $17)00,000 on a harbor when the
river was tlrat Improved and are
hard at work light now building a
new nil'! much larger harbor at a cost
of $17,()00,00t). .lust as in the case of
Manchester, the bonetlt was not con
fined lo tho city of Frankfort; the In
dustrial and commercial life of the
whole region was greatly stimulated.
Mines long closed were reopened, new
Industries were started, and today
there is an almost continuous succes
bion of factories lining thu banks of
the river from FranktortN to the
Rhine.
Everybody Reaps Benefit.
Hunt the world around and always
and everywhere we find that the im
provement of waterways sets cities to
growing, factory wheels to humming,
and commerce to moving in a wider
and swifter streum. Railroads get
more business in big cities than in
small towns, in a densely populated
nianufactuiiiig region than in one that
is thinly settled. Waterways, there
fore, benefit railways and states mid
nations as wellby promoting an In
cieauo In population, in manulactuies
and in commerce. Hut tor one who
likes to get cleai down to tho bot
tom of things there Still remains the
question: "Wbj do wuterv.ii.. in
crease population and create com
mon u ami iiidustrj?'
Consul General Muson. now In i'uriB,
hut lor gome years at Krankfott, says:
"German statoHinaiuhlp was among
tho llrst to foresee thai the time
would come when, rallwuys having
reached their maximum extension and
oftlclency, there would remain a vast
surplus of coarse, raw materials coal,
dres, timber, stone, and crude metals
Which could be economically carried
long distances only by water trans
portation, and that in a fully de
veloped national system tho propor
rolo Vif railroadB would bo to carry
passengers nud tho higher classes of
merchandise manufactured from tlio
VaVr staples that tho waterways bad
brought to their doors."
