ER4STTS WIHAN'S SCHEME.
a PLAN TO REVIVE PACKAGE FREIGHT TRAFFIC
BY MEANS OF THE ERIE CANAL.

\ PLAN TO REVIVE PACKAGE FREIGHT TRAFFIC
BY MEANS OF THE ERIE CANAL.
NEWCOMERS will probably feel an especial in
terest in the plan which Erastus Wman has
set on foot. familiar as they with the char
acteristlc energy which Mr. Wiman has always
thrown into the numerous enterprises with which
he has been connected. The plan referred 10 l.
the revival Of package freight traffic by means
OF the Erie Canal The forms OF merchandise that
would be for the most part handled would be flour
provisions and other package freight moving east
ward and many kinds Of freight moving west ward
Mr. Wiman thinks that the plan will be IN such
a condition OF advancement admit OF the
initiation of the movement by the opening Of the
next canal season. MAY next. The enlargement OF
the canal would he thinks give the plan large
proportions.
One OF the things relied upon to make the plan
a success is the fact that TO the retaining Of the
commercial supremacy by New-Nork nothing u
more important than the reduction OF the rate
OF freight from the points of production TO the
point OF expectation and distribution. The pro-
motors of the scheme contend that in no way can
the rate OF freight be reduced as by the all
water route through the great lakes and the Erie
Canal
Another argument that is made by the promo
tiers - his scheme is that only by its means can
the Western millers and farmers conduct tner
business o. paying basis. In connection win
this pon they quote the dissemination mao ~
