There was very perceptible point in that
part of senator Whites speech on the Morgan
canal bill, in which he attacked the claim OF
Senator Turpie that that water transportation
deprived commerce between states of the benz
eft OF the article of the constitution which con-
fers upon congress the right to regulate do
nestle commerce. Senator Turpie's ideas of
domestic commerce were apparently derived
from trade among inland states. If the Pacific
coast states find water communication with
Atlantic states che per than transportation
across the continent. the people of these states
should certainly be allowed to use water routes
without FORGETTING their right to such protec-
ton as congress has power to extend over 40
nestle commerce carried on overland
routes 1t would be good thing, perhaps,
for overland railroads if commerce between
the Atlantic and Pacific coasts carried over
water routes could be established as fore gn
commerce, in contradistinction to domestic
commerce. Mr. Whites reference to Alaska
was an apt illustration. Until the United
States acquires British Columbia, which the
people OF British Columbia think Will not be
for some years yet, commerce between Alaska
and the rest of the union will be over water
route or through foreign territory. Mr.. White
was little late in coming TO the front as an
advocate of the Nicaragua canal, but he seems
to have given the subject good deal of study.
