mmnp ron im dispatch.!
A flood of light has been thrown upon
the inbject of governmental control in the
construction, management, and the levying
of tolls on waterways, in the papers sub
mitted to the recent Paris International
Congress on inland navigation. Among
these papers that of M. If. De Sytenko,
President of the Imperial Russian Commit
tee appointed in 1891 by the Polytechnic
Society to study questions relating to the
welfare of the waterways of Russia, is
worthy of careful study. The committee
includes in its membership the Ministers
of the Lines of Communication, Finances,
Interior, State Domains, as well as repre
sentatives of the navigation companies and
various commercial organizations. The
paper of M. De Sytenko is mostly taken
up with a discussion of the basis, or policy,
to be recommended to the government in
the levying of tolls upon the canals, eta,
undertaken by the State.
As a rule, heretofore, tolls on these canals
have not been more than one-half per cent
of the value of the merchandise,
irrespective of distance traversed,
which, while a very low rate, has
led to some curious anomalies for want of a
proper classification. In reading the re
port one cannot help being impressed with
the idea that the Russian Government has
not only been liberal in the past, but is de
sirous of removing all the restrictions possi
ble to freedom of intercourse throughout
the Empire. Unfortunately, the Imperial
Government is hampered considerably by
restrictions imposed by certain ports and
communes which impose taxes on com
merce. But it is likely these annoyances
will shortly be removed, judging from the
vigor of the movement now being directed
against them.
To Sleet the Cost or the Works.
"While the Russian Government recog
nizes the desirability of ultimately declar
ing all her waterways absolutely free, as
some are even now, it seems to be quite gen
erally conceded that a toll system is de
sirable to meet the cost of the works. It is
felt that the Government will enter upon
more of these works when an equitable
system for its reimbursement is to be ac
cepted as the general policy, and in conse
quence of this conviction not manv foolish
or experimental projects are likely to be
proposed. In Russia, as is partly the case
In Germany and Prance as well, the Gov
ernment owns and controls the railroads,
and thus we have the interesting and im
portant fact demonstrated that ownership
of railroads does not blind their owners to
the conclusion that for certain species of
freights it is better to forego a revenue upon
them, and to seek a reimbursement through
the higher development of products made
possible by the cheap transportation of
crude materials.
It would aud greatly to the length of this
communication to quote the interesting con
clusions of the Russian committee relating
to the adjustment of tolls on canals and
improved rivers, but the closing sentence,
intended to reiterate the general argument,
is m these words: "Navigation must never
have to pay but the remuneration for ser
ices rendered to it, and the sums paid by
it must only be spent for its benefit." This
for works undertaken and paid for by the
national Government.
Speaking of canals and river improve
ments paying lor themselves the report
says:
"Examples are also not wanting with ns
of the beneficial influence caused by
specially employing the product of the tolls
to the amortization of the expenses incurred
for the improvement of waterways. Thus
on the Emperor Alexander IL Canal a toll
or one-halt percent of the value of mer
chandise transported sufficed lrom 1859 to
1886, that is to say in 2G years, to recover
the cost of the creation of this canal esti
mated at 20,000,000 francs. Ihe example of
the Dniester is still more striking. Naviga
tion on this river was very difficult and the
transport of cereals forwarded to Odessa
took place by water, partly by rail, the cost
being 97.7 francs per ton.
Some Successful Experiments.
"In 1884 the State decided to grant an ad
vance of 1,600,000 francs for improvement
works on this river, which was to be reim
bursed by means of the collection of atoll
of 1 per cent of the value of" merchandise
transported. Although the improvement
works are not completed, the traffic has in
creased in the space of four years from 80-,
000 to 160,000 tons, the rate of carriage
of cereals tailing at the same time to 24
francs per ton. The improvement works,
which, we repeat, are not yet finished, have
therefore procured an annual saving of
nearly four millions on the cost of trans
port to the region, that is to say, more than
24 times the sum devoted to the work.
One can understand that under these cir
cumstances the collection of the toll is an
easy matter, and that it is supported with
out impatience by those interested."
In the Paris Congress M. Sympner dis
cussinctolls and dues on the navigable ways
of Germany, a country in which all tolls
ha e been nearly abolished, has neverthe
less this to say in his final conclusions of
the whole subject.
"When the finances of the State, al
though in a condition to support the ex
pense once made of buildinir, are unable to
lurrish an annual subsidy, the tolls shall
be fixed in a manner to cover the cost of
maintenance, and finally when the State
cannot undertake the construction of an ar
tificial navigable way unless able to collect
tolls sufficiently high to cover not only the
cost of maintenance, butalso the interest on
the capital of first establishment, the col
lection of these tolls should be considered
as admissible and under certain circum
stances as advisable."
As to the fact whether railroads and
canals cannot thrive together in the same
district, we take this extract from a paper of
L I Convreur, member of the Paris
Chamber of Commerce, at the Paris Con
gress: Conditions That Insure Prosperity.
"We have only to cite the Northern Rail
road Company, of France, whose system of
lines is established in that part of the conn
try which is the best furnished with naviga
ble ways, and whose business is so prosper
ous that, alone, it has been able to do with
out the guaranteed interest provided by the
Government. What makes the prosperity
of a railroad enterprise is the industrial
activity resulting from circumstances fa
vorable to cheap production. For the
larger kind of industry, these circum
itanoes are realized when fuel and raw
material are found on the same
point. .This juxtaposition exists in certain
countries; we have not cot it iu France. Gen
erally the raw material must go to the coal
or the coal journey toward other elements
of production. Navigation here intervenes,
its function here being to lessen the disad
vantage. The railroad next takes hold of
the foods which have been manufacture!
in the best possible condition and spreads
them over the surface of the territory or
carries them abroad."
Pittsburg is more specifically in the situ
ation of France with relerence to its sup
plies and its products than is any com
munity in the "United States.
Iu the general flurry created by the In
vention of the railroad France at one time
came nearly sacrificins all her canals to
make roadways for the iron horse. Some
of the canals were indeed so converted to
'- J
the use of railroads, but inch s folly was
not long persisted in, and France is to-day
the chief exponent of the wisdom of main
taining and even enlarging her waterways,
and is spending more money for this pur
pose than any of the European countries.
In all Europe there is not such a field so
pregnant with the possibilities of a gigantic
commerce as that which Mould follow the
construction of the Lake Erie and Ohio
River Ship Canal, nor is there to-day, ex
cluding England, a single city in Europe
doing a business in every direction equal
ing in magnitude that now being done by
the American city of Pittsburg iu the
single direction of the Great Lakes.
An Immense Traffic
Three years ago the exact quantity of
iron ore transhipped from Lake Erie ports
to the furnaces near to and on the line of
the projected canal, including Pittsbunr,
was 4,627,090 tons. This amount is now
fully, if indeed not more than 6,000,000 tons
annually. It pays to railroads about 55,
500,000 annuallv. So our coal business
with the lakes, which in 1889 was about
1,200,000 tons, is more than 2,000.000 tons
now, and regarding the coal trade on the
lakes, and particularly to Duluth, on Lake
Superior, which is doubling itself everv
thrtse years, tne Pittsburg coal should
surely be able within a lew-years followine
the completion of a large canal, which
wonld enable barges loaded at the mines to
go direct to any lake ports, grow to more
than the dimensions of our river trade,
which is now 4.000,000 tons annually.
Are wo not ready to say to the national
Government, build us this canal and we
will pay for it? If, indeed, the interests
of the great Northwest in cheap fuel, and
an extension of its grain, ore and lumber
markets, united with the interest of the
commerce of the Ohio river and the great
est iron producing region of the United
States, are to be considered a local and not
a national affair, then let us promise the
Government to pay, not only the first cost,
but interest ana 'maintenance charges as
welL All we want is a thorough investiga
tion of these claims and assertions.
"TOe think it is possible to show within a
reasonable time after the completion of the
canal that it can be guaranteed to do a busi
ness somewhat as follows, upon which
tariffs might be levied as stated:
Third class. Takim Bevesue
6.000,000 tons iron ore.,15 cents. $600,000
2,000,000 tons coal 10 cents. 200,000
1,000,000 tons limestone,
brick, ceinent,etc.l0 cents. , 100,000
Seoosd Class.
2,000,000 tons praln.flour
lumber, rails, pie
metal, etc 25 cents. $500,000
First class.
1,000,000 tons manuf'a
products, glass, etc.35 cents. $ 350,000
Total revenue $1,750,000
Estimated cost of canal,
$27,000,000.
Interest at 3 per cent. $ 810,000
Sinking fund (Myeors) 640.000
Annual maintenance 200,000
$1,550,000
A Bedaction of One-Half.
I Rail rates on ore to Pittsburg from lake
pur.s average uuuu. -. p uu. -Mn.c ..
are about one-third per mile the rail rate.
On the canal the ore rate would somewhat
exceed the mileage lake rate, but still need
"not be more than ons-half the rail rate or
50 cents. Add then 5 cents for conveying
ore by modern appliances from vessels to
ore piles within a quarter of a mile and the
tolls would make, say 65 cents instead of 51,
or a saving on 6,000,000 tons of ore per an
num amounting to 52,100,000. If the railroads
desire to compete with the canal, of course
their rates on low priced commodities
would be no greater than canal rates. It
would make no difference then whether the
goods were shipped by rail or water. Canals
can regulate freight rates while at the same
time doing only a small business them
selves. The foregoing estimate of the ship
canal's probable business may be deemed
very extravagant by some. If a commis
sion appointed by the Government to make
inquiry into the facts should not find it ap
proximately true of the business to be cer
tainly relied upon within three years after
the canal was opened, then no harm will be
done. Western Pennsylvania is not likely
to stand still during three years, and at all
events it certainly can be shown that even
with tolls there will be business enough to
make it practically free. T. P. R.

matter from the price. You know
the price to start with, but you only
find out the cost when you come to
wear the garment. If its wearing
qualities are not good, or its style is
unsatisfactory, the cost is too much,
whatever the price may be. Our
prices are LOW, and, what's better,
there is no after cost. Every gar
