10 is not easy TO predict what is to be
the future Of this great boating interest.
We lave over twenty thousand miles Of
steam navigation. We have original and
entcrprising boat builders. and an enor-
nous travelling public We have had
IN the past phenomenal fleet Of steam
boats, particularly on our western rivers,
and yet the business has been greatly de-
pressed. and there are fewer boats ahoat
today than twenty years ago. Moreover
and this is the most serious matter Of
all-our canals are being abandoned year
by year. While Europe spends millions
ON canals and waterways. while France
is trying 10 make every little stream
navigablo, and England is trying TO turn
her interior cities into seaports, we per
nit our canals TO fiji up or foolishly give
them away TO impecunious railroads for
roadbels is it wise? Are we safe in
trusting all our freight business to rail-
road corporations? Today we can, if the
need come, send gunboats inland from
the Delaware 10 New York bay. If We
permit the railroads to destroy the bust
ness of the canal between our ship yards
and our navy yards, we may be sure
that in every European war office the
fact OF our folly is carefully noted for
future reference. Once Great Britain
fought a great battle to destroy the
waierrome that connects the port Of New
York with the back door of New Eng
land Saratoga was fought to destroy
a vital water route. Fortunately, the
English generals who planned in London
thus to cut the country in two failed, and
yet today we are abandoning our canals
and see our great internal steam naviga-
ton system decay without a thought Of
the consequences.
On the other hand-for there is
brighter side 10 every picture there is a
disposition among the travelling public
TO demand larger, finer, and safer boats
everywhere We are being taught by
English tourists who visit us how TO see
our own country. We may complaccnt-
Is talk of our limited trains and all that.
Every foreigner who visits us asks first
of all for our steamboat routes, because
our lake, river, and sound boats are
known Of all the world.-Charles Der
nard in Century.
