the morals of Wall street, rest on the vice
of favoritism and exclusive privileges in
the management of corporations created
by legislation.
The Astor fortune is the exception; and
yet if it is examined closely its origin may
be found IN a similar abuse. Its present
magnitude represents largely the growth
of the value of real estate purchased early
in the century, But it is the fact that the
fortune which enabled the original Astor
to make those investments was gained by
inside information from political sources
concerning the raising of embargoes and
the cessation of blockades, which enabled
him to send enormously profitable cargoes
to markets otherwise unsupplied. In an
other form this was the same vice OF an
exclusive advantage in commerce where
in perfect equity all competitors were on
the same basis.
Nearly it not quite all the great for
tunes amassed in q single lifetime In this
country can be traced either to favoritism
or exclusive privileges. Both are contrary
to the spirit of the laws; and to the exact
extent to which wealth is concentrated by
such means it is property which by
natural justice should have been dlfused
among the people.

ERIE AND THE CANAL
The Proposed Waterway Warmly Seconded
Praise for Mr.. DaIxen.

Inc PROPOSED "ateT"Ay warmly oeCouuCu
Praise for Mr.. DaIzen.
Erie Dispatch.1
Congressman DalzelI, OF Pittsburg, de-
serves great credit for his earnest and effec-
tive work in furthering the interests OF the
Ohio River and Lake Erie Ship Canal prof.
ect He has secured favorable action by the
Rivers and Harbors Committee upon the
proposition to appropriate $4,000 for a sur
vey of routes for the proposed canal. Now
let this provision be kept in the bill as it
passes, and the first important step will
have been taken toward attracting national
attention and action in favor of the project.
While it is true that Pittsburg and its
neighboring section have more to gain than
this city has in the construction of the pro-
posed ship canal, yet our citizens take
lively interest in the matter. The canal
would greatly benefit Erie. and an impor-
tant proportion of its traffic would be fur
nishcd by this city. Water transportation
to the South would be O great advantage to
many of our manufacturing industries and q
constant incentive to the development and
extension of new ones. 1t would give US
lower freights on coal and merchant iron,
and perhaps lead to the building of furnaces
and rolling mills here. These and other
prospective additions to our manufacturing
and commercial industries would in turn in
crease the value of Erie real estate and add
to the city's mercantile interests. 1t Is thus
apparent that the canal projects warm In
dorsement among Erie business men is
based on substantial grounds, and It is ear
nestly hoped that the committees action
will be Carried into effect In the bill and the
survey ordered
