INTERESTING IDEAS OF COL. ROBERTS
Among the valuable papers read at the
fifth International Congress on Inland Nav
igation recently held at Paris was one from
Colonel T. P. Boberts, of this city. It was
devoted to a discussion o'f the respective
positions occupied by the waterways and
the railways in general transportation in
the United States. Among the ideas de
Teloped were the following:
Canals were Introduced Into this country
on the English models, and several thou
sands or miles of them were Dutlt cotemrjo
raneously with their development abroad,
chiefly in the period between 1825 and 1850.
Some were constructed with a capacity of
about 40 tons, although the majority of thorn
, were Intended for 65-ton boats, and they
were often oarr.ei through hlllv reiio'is
with frequent locks of very small lift (four
to six feet) ana generally illy supplied with
water. In the case of many of these canals
it would have been impos-ible eier to have
enlarged them to the capacity now required
to enable, them to compete with the modern
railway, and exces of lockage or difficulty
in obtaining a sufficient supply of water
must forever preclude the hope that many
canals will be built in this country.
In addition to the nitural obstacles al
luded to, the great flrst cost of cinals such
as would serve this purpose restricts them
to routes where a heavy business is oertain
y to be relied upon. Canal boats cannot,
like railway cars, be taken into the ware
houses, eta, and being n many cases not so
convenient, their use for short carriage pre
sents no advantages, hence they will seldom
under any circumstances be built separate
from main lines connecting important
trade centers or lines connecting airgregiited
systems of navigation, suoh as our Interior
likes and the Mississippi river system.
No "Victory for Llnd Carriage.
It Is to be acknowledged, however, that
many of the canals sold by the States or
corporations which constructed them could
have been made valuable in the future as
branches of the main lines now 'contem
plated. The competition between canals
and rallwaj s in this countiy, never, in any
fair sense, resulted in a victory of land cai
riage over water carriaze the vlctorv was
that of the steam engine over horse flesh
and very poor horse flesh at that,.
Wnen the properly constructed steam en
gine is mounted npon the properly con
structed vesssl and not until then will we
see the corflict deciaed upon its real merits,
and we need have no tears that anythlnjr
but good big engines will ever be mounted
upon our future canal boats: andjthat means
deep water and a carrying capacity greater
by far than is possiDle to put in single
trains of cars.
Up to the present time the Government
has held itselt aloof troui undertaking any
Important canal work, ir wo except the St.
Mary's canal, connecting Lakes Supeiior
and Huron, so that even with many j ears'
continuance of the present policy of ex
penditures in the desultory manner which
has heretofore been pursued, no marked ad
vantage if indeed, any at all to the
"through freight" business or the country
will be observable. The most that can be
hoped for is that the large annual appropri
ations will bring about a more intelligent
consideration of the whole subject, and
lead eventir.ll to the construction of deep
water-ways, where actually needed.
In the 'Way of Go d Work.
In some resDects,tbe General Government
really stands in the way of good work which
mijht be done by private enterprise, lor, in
cffect.it has given notice that it claims juris
diction over the waterways of the country,'
and as it has reached this attitnde by com
mon consent, crivate capital Is not encour
a.ed to invest in river works, though the
l ight of State to charter private companies
for such purposes is ell settled. 1 he gov
ernment's jurisdiction, reierred to, is Ql
lectedto the rights of navigators, protec
tion of channel, etc, it being held, also,
that all rivers should be tree, and the Gen
eral Government has obtained by gift, or
purchase, the fieedom ot several magnifl
cent river improvements, and Is moving in
the mattei oi the purchase ot the more im
portant ones.
It is manifest, however, that either the
Government should contruct some of the
great improvements demanded by the
times, or encourage private capital to invest
In them.
As has been alreadv stated, the region of
the country where commerce is most active
Is embraced in the area lying between the
lakes and the Omo river, east of the Missis
sippi to the seaboard. In this district are
located the chief commercial and manu
facturing cities: it includes all of the devel
oped coal and lion ore fields, excepting that
ot the recentlv developed districts in Tenn
esSLe and Alabama, before spoken of; It is
also the region or the greatest production
ot the leading agricultural staples, such as
wheat and corn, as well as the seat of the
lumbering interests.
An Empire Within Itself.
It would burden this piper unnecessarily
to enter into the statistics of the internal
commerce of this large, fertile, highly de
veloped, wealthy and populous region. It is
an empire within itself, nowhere else on
the globe equaled in respect to the magni
tude and value of its productions and in the
extent of its internal commerce.
Of the total CSj.541,617 tons of freight car
ried by rail for the fiscal j ear ending June
SO, 1S9U, it it impossible to state hou much is
to be credited to each gronp These figures
can, however, be approximately given from
other sources. In addition to thu 636,000,000
tons or railwav traffic, the cenus report
(Bulletin No. 179 April, 1892,) reports that
during 1889. 172,110,123 tons or merchandise
were transported by water, exclusive ot
canals, (or which the census report gives no
statistics). The marine business is dis
tributed as follows:
Tons.
Atlantic Coast 77,597.626
Gull oi Mexico 2,804,950
l'aciflc Coast 8818.J63
Great Lakes 53,421,2
Mississippi Valley 29,405,06
Total 172,110,423
With an internal commerce, without in
cluding the coastwise trade of more than
700 003,000 tons annually, the foreign trade or
the United States binks into insignificance.
Is it a wonder, then, that schemes for the
betterment of the conditions environing
this mighty deluae or commerce should be
engaging the minds or some of America's
most far-seeing statesmen? Is it not,
rather, more a wonder that, with the in
centive to action, so little has been done!
V here Tankee Enterprise Is Lacking.
On this point it is to be confessed that the
Tankee nation, held abroad to be so resort
lul and quick-witted, bigs woefully behind
the nations of Europe, and it is to France,
Germany and Italy, as well as to England
and her colony Canada, that our people
must turn their gaze to witness the le viral
of methods so long nexlected
South or the latitude of New York the
Allegheny Mountains present an effectual
barrier to the construction or modern canals,
which might otherwise be projected to con
nect the Mississippi Valley with tho At
rtntc The great valley can only be con
served with the Atlantic seaboard via the
lakes, and thence through tho proposed
New York canal, and, -very fortunately,
such lake and river connection is practica
ble at several points.
Whilst, therefore, the demand for en
larged facilities of transportation between
the East and the West is now urged mostly
by shippers engaged in business in tbe ex
treme West and their axeuts in NewTork,
tbe intermediate cities have most at stake,
because their trade with the terminals and
with each other (which, in fact, is the local
trade, as here considered) is vastly greater
than the through trade. But, as it may be
argued that as the possible saving per ton
will be for much of this local traffic small, as
compared with that which meets a mileage
reduction on the through distance, there
fore their interests are not so great in pro
posed waterways.
Fraught With Great Consequences.
It has, however, dawned upon the minds
of many that the.saving in cost of even a
few cents per ton upon some commodities is
fraught with great consequences. Within
the past year rooro than 80 Iron smelting
furnaces in Eastern Ohio and Western Penh
sylvanla remained closed for a number or
months, on account ot the inability of tho
railroads engaged in supplying thetn wjth
coke fuel to meet their demand for a reduc
tion of 25 cents per ton in freight rates.
It has been oroposed to connect the Ohio
river and Lake Erie by an enlargement of
the Miami Canal, extending from Cincinnati
to Toledo. The report of the United Stales
Engineers, who examined Into the project
in 1830, state that a canal the same size as
the Erie, of New York! viz., double looks 110
xisreet. with 7 teet depth, overcome in 258
mlle, 882 eet of lockage (370 'feet up from
lake to summit, 513 reet from summit down
to the Ohio river.) A canal or thissize, viz.,
300-ton boats, is probaly as large as could bi
supplied with water on tlii3 route. Its esti
mated cost was $28,557,000.
In, 1589 the State of Pennsylvania ap
pointed a Ship Canal Commission to report
upon the feasibility or a ship canal to con
nect the Upper Ohio river with the lakes.
The business of Pittsburg and adjoining
districts along the rodte or the proposed
canal with tbe lakes now amounts to more
than 5,000,000 ton of Iron ore and about 2,
onocoo tons of coal annually, besides avast
grneral commerce.
There Is no coul whatever along the lake,
and it is convex ed to certain lake harbors in
Pennsylvania and Ohio by rail, and there
transferred to vessel for distribution; and
the mines of West Virginia and Kentucky,
as well as those of tbe States beiore named,
are taxed to supply the demand, whlon is
growing witii wonderful rapidity. Pitts
burg ships about 1 000,000 tons of coal annu
ally to the Southwest by river, and with the
proDosed lake outlet could VHStly increase
its trade with the Northwest Nearly one
third of the pig metal production of the
United States ponies from ft lew counties
surrounuing Pittsburg in Pennsylvania and
Ohio, hence the action or the Pennsylvania
Legislature In directing its atten.ion 16 the
roiibilitiesof ashio canal connection be
t een the Ohio and Lake Erie is one worthy
of attention, and a Mills now pending in Con
gress for the further examination of the
project;
A Feasible Koute Found.
The engineers of the State Commission
reported a feasible route fiom near the
State line of Pennsylvania on the Ohio to
Lake Erie, via the Beaver river, etc The
canal, suggested is 152 feet wide at tbe sur
face, 100 feet at tbe bottom, with 15 feet of
water. Locks were proposed having an
available length of 300 reet by 5
feet wide, with 14 feet on their miter
sills. Distance from lbo mouth ot the
Bi-aver to summit level (which is 20 miles
long throngn a msrshy country). 71.1 miles;
lilt, 316 7 feet In 25 lock. Distance (Including
summit level) to Lake JJrte at uonneaut
harbor, 12 miles; descent, 443.1 feet, also in 25
locks.
By means of reservoirs on streams tribu
tary to the summit level, 15.000,000 cubic feet
r water for daily supply at tuat point can
be provided, The wntcr supply mav be
incieased so that its total will be 45,000,000
cubic reet per diem, by drawing npou largo
streams and reservoirs located east or the
summit.
I ii estimated cost or this project is $27,
000,000,000. Most or the route is in natural
waier courses, and no cuts more than 20 reet
deep above water level appear on the profile.
Pittsburg and the great manufacturing dis
tricts along the Beaver river, through which
the canal is projected, with more than L-C00,-000
of population directly interested iu
cheapening the commodities which give
them employment) look at the lakes with
the same longing eye that. Manchester
looked at the ocean. Bringing as it does the
great bulk of the commerce) of Lake Su
perior to its doors, and making up lor sev
eral lake ports tbe remarkable figures of
"arrivals" and departures" and their glow
ing figures of imports and exportB, it has
thus come that an interior community is
not only urging a connection with, the lakes,
but improvement or the lako navigation,
and extension or it by means or a new mod
ern canal eastward to tide water..

CONSUMPTION
CAN BE CURED.
If Dr. Schenck's treatment and care of
n.msumntloh -were somethme new and un
tried, people might doubt; bat what hai
proved itaelf through a trial as old as our
grandfathers, means Just what it is
A Specific .for Consumption
nndforall diseases of the Looks. No treat
ment In the world can place as many per
manent enres of Consumption to Us credit as
Dr. Schenck's. Nothing in Nature acts so di
rectly and effectively on the lung membranes
and tlssaes.and so quickly disposes of tuber
cles, consestlon, inflammation. colds,congbs
and all the seeds of Consumption as
Dr. Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup
When all else fails It comes to tbe resoue. Not
until it falls, and only aer faithful trial,
should any one despond. It has brought tne
hopeless to Hie and health. It has turned the
despair of ten thousand homes In to Joy. It is
doing it no w.It will continue to do it through
