The Boston Advertiser. in commenting
on the Savannah Harbor Convention,
says that the force OF the point brought
out in the convention, that up to the year
1881, the Atlantic harbors from Maine to
Maryland had received from Congress
S24,410,5O0, while only 1868 600 had been
expended on the barbors from Virginia TO
Florida, will to certain extent be lost
when it is remembered that the four
cities of New York, B lston, Philadelphia
and Baltimore, which are north of the
Virginia line, handle over IS per cent. OF
the total exports and imports OF the whole
country.
1t is very true that the cities named
handle near three-fourths of the exports
and imports Of the country, and the South
does not object TO the appropriation Of all
the money they need for the Improvement
of their harbors. All the South asks is
that there shall be no unnecessary and
merely captious opposition to appropri-
ating money for the improvement Of South
ern harbOrs.
The commerce of Southern cities would
be greatly benefited by the completion of
Improvements already begun. All the
cities named are deeply interested in
having Southern harbors improved, be-
cause all of them have steamers and sail
ing vessels running to Southern ports.
The question which presents itself is
not whether the ports of the North At
lantic coast have great deal more COM
merce than have the South Atlantic
ports, but whether the South Atlantic
ports have been treated as fairly and
generously as the North Atlantic ports in
proportion to their needs. The North At
lantic ports, although they have had more
than three times as much money appro-
priated for their benefit as the South At
lantic por s, may not originally have con-
tanned so many distractions to commence
as did the South Atlantic ports, and
if they did not then the difference in tn
treatment of ports of the North Atlantic
coast and those of the South Atlantic
coast is even more marked than is shown
by the figures presented.
However, the only question that ought
to be considered is, whether the COM
MERGE Of the South Atlantic cities is such
as to demand liberal expenditures Of
money for the improvement of their har-
bors. If it is, then the estimates of the
engineers ought to be voted without any
hesitation
