The great Mechanical Bakery continues lie opera
tons gradually enlargng the sphere OF ts useilI'
ness without unnecessary parade. On opening 'ne
flee door you discover evidences OF large ousi-
ness and are greeted with the wholesome perfume
81 newly baked bread, which may be seen plied up
a long counter, s0f and unctuOus, D'ahd az
muffin, and grateful 10 snperannuated gums, whie
other loaves Drowned and crisp, so al To capt'
| 'dlr Inc pdlhUr OI Npsc t'tu w Az
| condition If rocky hardness. Everything about the
establishment is scrupulousy clean and placards
| are put up throughout the premises forblddIng the
| smoking of pipes and cigars chewing of tobacco,
| or splitting the floors. Hard as 1t may
BE- to overcome this national vice of chewing and
splitting il has certainly been checked 70 some ex-
tent on these premises, but faint indications OF
either could be- noticed. The Bakery now consists
| of but one completed oven, capable of baking 400
| barrels of -four every "a hours second oven OF
equal capacity il Deng finished, not with the expec-
| tation Of selling immediately the bread from $40
| barrels daily, but for the purpose ot having IL III
reserve in ease of accident to the first. For the
| same reason the Company have not yet undertaken
TO serve families in wagons direct from the Bakery
| At present the public are supplied from thirteen
repositories in different parts of the city, where the
freshly. baked bread is deposited twice daily, and
| sold for account of the Company. The quantity
sold at the office is some 600 lOayes daily, and the
whole sae from the Office aud the thirteen deposi'
tories is large enough to consume about 6O bar
| rels of -four in the same period. From TINS
data il is very moderate presumption that
| the Company will be able to sell some hum
dreds of barrels daily before the year has EXPIRED
So far the bread gives entire satisfaction to the con-
sumers and much of the opposition from the bakers
| about town has died out. The names OF s0mo JOO
families are now entered on the Company books as
| voluntary customers ready to consume the bread a.
|
| from the oven. They have made no systematic Ell
| fort TO obtain large number OF customers put
have been content to introduce the bread gradually
before the public through the agency of local depo-
| STORIES, to ascertain how the pub would relish
| the new article. Having satisfied consumers, both
| in regard TO quality and price they are enlargng
their operations, and will speedily manufacture
| greatly increased supply They now give y ounces
| of bread for five cents, which is some ~ per cent
more bread for the same money than Is given by the
| private bakers. ThSCompany who put this great
enterprise in operation Is composed OF some ten OF
| our most worthy citizens, with an abundant cash
capital able TO take advantage OF any change IN the
| -four market Up TO this time all has been outlay,
trial. and experiment; and indeed, the whole OF the
| first wears business may BE- considered expert
mental. But every thing thus far has been highly
| encOuroging-the oven succeeds, the bread 10 OF
| admirable quality, and the public demand for it ls
constantly increasing. If the enter prise was in any
| sense hazardous one, the vast Lumber OF mouths
4 in this city which require feeding two aud three
times daily, iustftd the risk. Our numerous hotels,
boarding houses public institutions, &c., must IN
the end be- all supplied from this bakery. The guam
tity they consume is 50 enormous that their patron
| age alone without addition from the general public,
weuId absorb all that the establishment could pro-
duce.
The proposition now before our Legislature, TO
sell all the numerous canals belonging 80 the State,
| has been the means Of bringing ont an array OF
melancholy facts connected with the subject. They
| ore worth studying by the people OF every other
| State which, Ike ours, has been so unfortunate rs
| to invest millions in the creation OF great public
works. Pennsylvania has sold all her railroads. and
now has four canals, having total length of three
| hundred and forty-four miles. These works have
been the graves of millions of dOllafs-that s, in
| conjunction with the cayernOus depth Of pocket
peculiar to the political swarm of collectors and
| contractors who have governed and robbed them
| from the very commencement The North Branch
| Canal WAS abandoned in the crash Of lc4l, after
So $50 600 had been sunk upon it. But in lS49 the
| work upon it was resumed-$2 10, 600 more ex-
pended on is. Yet il is nos nayigable and SO 600
will be required this year for repairs alone. Only
one OF these four canals pays, or hiss ever paid,
profit and that is the canal running along the Della
ware from Easton 10 Bristol, sixty miles in length
But, taking all together though the tolls last year
amounted TO 1920, 600. il is calculated the lOss
this year will be $500 600. Ii is, therefore high
time for the State 10 get nd of them. The fact is
| that State management of canals don't pay, and
this fact is apparent eyeryw here. The Chesapeake
and Ohio Canal last year received So, 80 less for
tolls than in lc56 while its expenses were Sl3Q1c-
| more The New.lork csnals have done, and are
| likely TO do no better. The tolls them have re-
| ceded from S3,204.1lc il 1853 10 S203l, 967 in
| 1885, while the tolls on the competing railroads
have gone up from 81 SO 0A in 1853 70 s., S73 e23
in l-J6 Last yesr for the first time since 1876 the
New-iork canals isiled to pay the interest on the
funded debt, and let; deficit OF $50 900 10 D. other
| wise provided for. The falling of IN articles
carried on these canals il enormous. In 1901 they
carried $50 Az barrels Of hOrr. but in 1857 only
$4,000 The plain fact is that railroads, gen.
.rsl thing have superseded canals, and under State
management they sre growing worse and worse.
| The Pennsylvania canals are poor affairs al best;
