ENGLA5F3 BOASTED SHIPPIKG Will Be Easily Surpassed lj the Achieve ments Upon the Great Fresh Water Seas of America. A BDXDLE OP FACTS AKD FIGURES. Erai the Btilniais Would Kot be Itjciiouly Affected in their i ICORKESfOMIEXCS OF THE DISFATCK.I Cleveland, November 27. Each year the coming of winter interrupts one ot the most interesting and important branches of inter-State commerce, for with -winter the season of narigation closes. Nowhere else in the world is there snch a freshwater com mcrce as flourishes on the Great Lakes. Tne two great English seaports of Liver pool and London with all their immense foreign and coastwise commerce have by 3,000.000 tons less freight enter and clear each year than passes through the Detroit river every summer, and the whole foreign commerce of the United States is less by 10,000,000 tons than the freight tonnage that passes through the tame beautiful strait annually. Situated as they are like a spreading palm, almost in the heart of the continent, they offer the cheapest and best route for the transportation of the products of the EIGHT GKEAT STATES, and one prosperous Canadian province, that touch upon them, to their natural markets. A territory unsurpassed in the wealth of its natural resources as well as in fertility, and in area four times as great as the British Isles, and greater than all of France and Germany taken together, is naturally tribu tary to the lakes. More than one-tourth of the whole population of the nation is in terested in the condition of lake commerce, and lake freight rates in a broad sense affect nearly the whole country, for the prices of iron and steel are directly influenced by them and by the conditions which make lake commerce active or dull. This great commercial marvel, for such in deed is lake commerce, has grown wonder fully in the pat ten years. Within the decade the carrving capacity of lake ship ping has more than trebled, and the char acter of the vessel! bnilt on the lakes vastly improved. TKEMENDOUS TONNAGE INCREASE, Ten years ago there were few steamers on the lakes that could carry 2,000 oet tons; now there are a score that can carry 3,000 tons or over. Then hardly a boat on the line of lakes could make 12 miies an hour; now there arc dozens that can do much bet ter than that, and some freight steamers Lave a record of 15 miles an hour. Ten years aco less than 1,000,000 tons of ore dine down the lakes during the season; this season the total will go above 8,000.000 tons. Then but little more than 1,000,000 tons of roal was carried up the lakes; this season there will be shipped nearly 4,000,000 tons from the Lake Erie ports. Tne increase in the grain, flour ana package freight bus iness has been hardly less notable, and the whole unites in a record of development sach as has rarely, if ever, been equaled in the history of commerce. WHERE THE TRADE COMES FEOSI. Study the census returns and you will see in part why this is so. The great wheat fields ot the Dakotas have been opened within the decade. Minnesota has increased her population by more than one-half and doubled her jiroducing capacity. "Wiscon sin has done nearly or quite as well. Chicago has added more than 500,000 people to her population. Michigan, Indiana, Ohio and Western Pennsylvania and West ern New York have all made fine gains, and their industrial development has much more than kept pace with the growth :uid in population. The iron and steel interests which were great there are still more extensive now, and the filling up of the Northwest has greatly widened the market lor the bituminous coals of Western Pennsylvania and Ohio. So it happens that the furnaces of Pittsburg and the Mahoning Valley must have the Bessemer ores oi the Lake Superior region, and far and cold Minnesota must have the coal of the lower lake region, and over the lakes is the cheapest route by which these great staples can reach their markets. PITTSBURG'S GREAT INTEREST. The developement of the lake shipping is accordingly a matter that directly afiects the people of Pittsburg and Western Penn sylvania, as weil as the lake cities. Every year the lower freight rales on the lakes save millions ot dollars to the iron inanutactnrers of Western Pennsylvania, over what they would have to pay if they had to depend solely on the railroads to furnish them with ore. How much this means can be seen when it is known that the lake rates are never more than one-fourth, and some years but little more than one-fifth, as much as railroad rates for like service. The saving on every ton of ore laid down at Cleveland, Eairport or Ashtabula is certainly 52, and oltener nearer $3, and as the iron works of Western Pennsylvania use several million tons of ore annually, the veriest schoolboy can reckon the grand total of saving. It is fair to so estimate that it is never less than 4,000,000, and is quite frequently above $5,000,000. This is truly a wonderful showing. A GREAT MERCHANT NAVY. I have already referred to the growth of lake shipping, nut just a word about lake shipbuilding. In the last three years there have been launched ships with a total car rying capacity, in round numbers, of 316,000 tons. During the same period the ships built on the whole Atlantic and Gulf coasts only had a tonnage of 332,000 tons. A much larger percentage of the lake than of ocean vessels was steam, however, and the creater rapidity with which ships are han dled here than on the ocean doubtless fully made up for the difference. These newer lake vessels, more than one-third of which are iron and steel, make up a fleet that in solid ity, speed, general beauty and excellence has few superiors among the merchant navies of the world. The prospects now are that the lake ship yards will have fully as prosperous a year in 4o;7j. its ucy nave eujuyeu in looe, xooa and 1893. This summer, lor the first time, a steel steamer, built at Congressman AVlieel tt's vard at Bay Citv. Mich., was sent down the St. Lawrence for service on the Atlantic. and, if she proves successful, others will follow. GREAT GOOD OP A CANAL. All these facts concerning the lakes are particularly interesting when taken in con nection with the project of bnilding a ship canal from Pittsburg to Lake Erie. The immense traffic that passes between Pitts burg and the Lake Eric ports makes such a canal entirely feasible as a commercial enterprise. It is not a greater undertaking than some of the other great canal projects that are under way, while there already ex ists a great and growing commerce ready to support it and be fostered by it. Last year nearly 1,300,000 tons of coal were brought out of Pittsburg for lake export and hun dreds of thousands of tons more are added from points that would be within easy reach o' the ship canal. The tounage th.s tear will le larger th.m last. Cleveland will scud over 1,000,000 tons of coal np the lakes this season. Pair port will add 150,000 or more, Ashtabula 00.000 more and Erie teveral hnndred thousand. All told, the lake shipments from these four ports will reach at least 1,750,000 tons this season. MILLIONS SAVED ANJftTALLT. The cost of transferring this coal from the cars to the lake vessels is 20 cents a ton, and freight rates are from 75 cents to $1 25 a ton. With a ship canal connecting Pitts burg with the lakes three-fourths ot this coal would be saved one handling and the cost of carriage by canal to the upper lako ports would be at least 50 cents a ton less than at present. So the saving on the coal now handled would be little, if any, short of $1,000,000 -annually. Ore could be brought back in the same vessels, with but one handling in most cases, and the total saving ou it would be even greater. This year AshWbula will receive, iu round figures, 2,000.000 tons of ore.Cleve land about 1,800,000, Fairport a round 1.200,000 and Erie probably 400,000 tons. Of this vast amount, by far the greater part is used in the region immediately tributary to the proposed Lake Erie canal. At a rea sonable estimate 3,000,000 tons will go to Pittsburg and points in Western Pennsyl vania and Eastern Ohio that would be easily reached from such a canal. The saving in freight and iu unloading from the lake vessels to the docks and again into the cars would average scarcely less than 50 cents a ton, or a total saving-on ore alone of 1,500, 000 every year. Assuming that the railroads would restrict the traffic to this amount, .the gross earnings would be more than 10 'per cent of the cost of constructing snch a ship canal. That alone would make the invest ment a paying one. PENNSYLVANIA COAL HANDICAITED. But there is another consideration that will appeal powerfully to the coal interests of Pennsylvania. When the pool, or com bination, of railroads carrying coal to Lake Erie ports was formed last spring, the HocCing "Valley and other roads carrying Ohio coal exclusively, demanded a differen tial of 25 cents a ton against Pennsylvania coal, and while there was no open agreement to that effect, it is certain some such discrim ination exists against the superior product of the Pennsylvania mines. This agree ment between the railroads deprives Penn sylvania coal of much of the natural advan tage its high quality would otherwise give it in the lake markets and tends to greatly restrict the output of Pennsylvania mines. It is in effect a handicap of 25 cents a ton ton on Pennsylvania coal, and was de manded and is maintained because the Ohio coals are inferior in quality, and competi tion on an equal basis would put the rail roads running into the Ohio coal fields and depending on Ohio coal for most of, their tonnage, at a decided disadvantage. There is every reason to suppose like tactics will be continued in a determined effort to pnt the poorer Ohio coals on an equality with the better Penusylvania product as long as the transportation of coal is entirely in the hands of the railroads. COMPETITION A FRIEND TO MERIT. Once let a ship canal be opened, bow ever, and the .Pennsylvania coal will come to the frout upon its proper basis. Compe--tition between the canal and railroads would make such a discrimination as is now main tained impossible. The result would be that the superiority of Pennsylvania coal and the lower figure at which it could be sold at the "Soo," Duluth, West Superior and other upper lake ports, would greatly widen the market for it and increase the amount consumed. Primarily tbis would benefit the miners and mine-owners of Western Pennsylvania, but the lower price at which the best coal could be laid down at all the upper lake ports would be a direct saving to all the people of the great North west. Another thing to consider is that great as is the lake traffic now, it is certain to stead ily increase. Everything points with the emphasis of manifest destiny to this. Al though lake ship building has been carried on to an unprecedented extent in the past four years, there are f till no signs of the lake marine being overbuilt or of the ship yards ceasing to turn out great steel ore and grain carriers. GREAT rUTUEE GROWTH IN SIGHT. The last ten years has seen a great growth in the territory tributary to the lakes; the next ten years will see nearly or quite as much more. The iron ore districts in the upper peninsula ot Michigan and in Minne sota have by no means reached theirmaximum producing capacity. Tliereare still hundreds of acres of good mineral lands undeveloped and likely to remain so for years, even if the remarkable growth of the past four years be continued for the next decade. This ore will nearlvall be reduced at either Chicago or the furnaces of Western Pennsylvania and Eastern Ohio. The amount which will go to each section will depend in very large part upon the cost of carrying the ore to the Ohio and Pennsylvania furnaces and the ex pense of shipping the finished iron or steel to the points where it is to be used. The ship canal would lessen both these and enable Pittsburg iron and steel manu facturers to lay their steel rails or other product down on the dock at Duluth for from $1 00 to $2 00 a ton less than can he done at the present time. Tbis is a margin not to be despised, and would mean the con tinued possession of many markets that might otherwise fall to other manufacturers. A GREAT STIMULUS. With the stimulus of such an improve ment as this proposed ship canal the iron and steel industry of the Central West would continne to go forward at even more rapid strides than in the past The great future, which is undoubtedly before tnese interests, would develop more rapidly, and the benefit resulting to the whole country would be more immediate and greater. I am aware, as must anyone be who has noted the tone of the press "of the lake cities and the hostile feeling of .many lake and local interests, that the ship canal project will meet with sharp opposition, but the opposi tion ought not to hi very widespread. The ore and coal interests of all the Lake Erie ports are naturally opposed to it. So arc the railroads that carry coal and ore to and ironi these ports, but these interests will be much more than overbalanced by the favor such a plan will win at the upper lake ports when fully understood. It would mean cheaper coal for Detroit, Port Huron, Bay City, Saginaw, Saulte Ste. Marie, Marquette, Ashland, West Su perior, Duluth and many minor points, as well as for nearly the whole of the great States ot Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michi gan, and cheaper fuel is a most important matter in those climates. Let this be clearly understood, as veil as the advantage to the whole country that will come from cheaper iron and steel, and the captious op position of the jealous lake ports and that part of the late shipping interests likely to be somewhat injured, would be greatly out weighed. Besides, it must be noted thati the stimulus which this improvement would give the ore and coal trade would, in the end, be a good thing for lake commerce and lake shipping, though for a short time it might somewhat derange business. EQUALIZATION CERTAIN. The same thing is true of the railroads which would be most affected by this com petition with such a ship canal. At first they would suffer, but the great growth of the traffic which is already in sight and which would come more quickly under the stimulus of low rates, would, in a compara tively short time, equalize things. Al ready it is evident that if anything like the increase in the lake ore and coal business during the past five years be maintained for the next five, the railroads running from Pittsburg and the Mahoning Valley to the various lake ports cannot handle the busi ness with their present trackage. Either new roads or more tracks for the old will have to be built. This, remember, is what is likely to be necessary by the "time the ship canal would be open for business, if the increase of the last few years is maintained as it seems likely to be. It is apparent, therefore, that the railroad interests would not greatly suffer, nor for a very great length of time. The natural development of the ore and coal traffic, and of the iron and steel inter ests of Western Peunsylvaniaand Eastern Ohro will make iarge'increase in the Licilitics fur eartving freight brtween the Likes and the upper" Ohi Valley impera tively necessary longtbefore another decade has passed. That the ship canal would provide in the best possible manner, and the result would be not merely a local but a national benefit of no small moment. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. ZFUlSTIE.

Gen. hup, t: NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. ii cue m coiT With his nipping airs, Biting frosts and howling blasts HAS COME Those who have the good fortune to reside in handsome mansions who can sit by the cozy fireside, while without the chilling tempests and blinding snow-storms rage who, when they venture out, are wrapped in costly furs and comfortable finery those, we admit, may read this announcement with indifference, but WHAT OF THE POOR? What of the countless thousands for whom cruel, cold winter bears in his train untold misery and privation, suffering and wretchedness? Oh, what of the poor ? Have they the necessary "wherewithal" to keep the wolf from the door ? Above all, they must have WARM CLOTHING, and here KAUFMANNS STEP Ii TO IMd A HELPING IIAXD. If purses can't meet the prices of good Overcoats, Underwear, Gloves, etc., then the prices must meet the purses. Right now, at the very outset of the cold season, we propose to give every man a chance to buy these goods at figures he can well afford to pay. With this object in view, we have just placed on sale and will offer TO-DAY AND TO-MORROW! 6,ooo Heavy, Well and Durably Made Overcoats, FROM $3 These Overcoats are not to be compared with the "cheap" goods'bften advertised by other houses. Ours are no trash, no shoddy, no riff-raff excuses for garments, but good, honest, sub stantial clothing some being lined with Flannel, others with Italian Cloth, etc. The materials are Chinchillas, Beavers, Meltons, Ker seys, Cassimeres, Cheviots, etc. Every coat is well worth and could easily be sold for 50 per cent more money, but THAT ISN'T THE THING. We want to sell these Overcoats not for what they will bring or what we intended to get for them, but at prices within the reach of the "Dollar-a-Day" laborer. This, we think, has been ac complished by offering these Overcoats at $3, $4, $$, $6 and up to $10 NOW, AS TO UNDERWEAR, We will offer at only 25c warm and heavy Undershirts and Drawers, and the celebrated Natural Wool Underwear, always sold at 75c, for only 39c, but this is iwt- Other grades of heavy underwear proportionately cheap. There is no use in mentioning more prices. Suffice it to say that everything poor workingmen need in the way of winter clothing can be bought here at especially reduced prices to-day and to-morrow.
