made for other articles of trade besides COAL
Thus, with general trade of one million OF tons,
the whole cost of transporting barrel OF flour by
the water line, including tolls and freight, would
be about 35 cents. By railroad OF the same
length, at cents per ton per mile, it would be
about 81 As. The relative charges on canals
and railroads were stated by Mr.. Cabell, in his
lastreport, to be in Incorporation one TO three
and we have never seen that position successfully
refuted. 1t is this great and radical considera-
ton which causes us to adhere steadfastly to the
water line and we cannot believe that the
stockholders in the James River and kanawha
Company will forsake it.
