routes for the grain trade is light al
present as compared with what it will be
when large class vessels can navigate
the Welland Canal to advantage.
That canal has a mere direct bearing
on the business of this city and the State
of New York than all the railways to-
gether. 1t is designed expressly to di-
vert the immense western breadstufs
trade from the Erie Canal to the Cana
| dian channels and to transfer the vast
importing and exporting business Of
New York to Montreal, The engineers
in charge Of the improvement state bodi-
~ that their plans have been made with
these special objects in view, and there
is too much reason to tear that they will
be at least partially successful unless
prompt and efficient measures are de-
vised to cOunteract them.
That the Canadians are terribly in
earnest In their struggle for the control
Of the grain business, is demonstrated
by the substantial character OF the new
work and the large expenditures which
they are making on the canal. A good
idea of the magnitude of the improve
ment may be obtained from COMPARE
son Of the capacity of the locks with
the large class vessels now navigating
the lakes. The locks are to be 20 feet
long and As feet wide. The monster
propeller Colorado, of the Union Steam
boat Company's line, is 254 IL feet long
and 80 feet beam. The new locks, there
fore, will of ample capacity to receive
this ship, which is ore OF the very
largest on the lakes.
When the enlargement is completed
it is expected that these large craft will
go through to Kingston. and there trans
fer the grain into barges for Montreal.
The talk Of making the St. Lawrence
canals OF equal capacity with the new
Welland is simply to iater our friends
at the west, who are so intent on estab-
lishment Of direct trade with Europe.
The aim OF the Dominion Government
is to make Kingston the destination Of
the upper lake fleet. The lower canals
will be placed in good condition for
barge navigation, and nothing more.
Whether the valuable business which
has made this the Empire State Of the
Union, and our chief city the metropo-
lis of the Continent, shall 60 down the
St. Lawrence or not, depends on what is
done with the Erie Canal.
In order to secure Lake Erie as feeder
for the new channel, the Canadians will
cut their canal down twenty-five ieet be.
low the surface Of the ground. The dis
play of similar enterprise and liberality
would enable the Erie to be fed from the
same source, and then channel of any
size or depth could be constructed. The
Canadians charge six mills toll or
wheat the State of New York charges
two cents. These facts illustrate the
difference in the way in which com
merce is treated by the two competitors
