The San Francisco call., 1896-01-03
THE NEED INCREASING.

peculiar fate seems to be urging Mr..
Huntington forward in his course of piling
up the reasons why the Nicaragua canal
should be built. Not satisfied with secur-
ing, by means of his deal with the Panama
Railway, complete monopoly of the traf-
fic of California so far as the isthmus and
his overland railroads are concerned, he is
said now to be shaping his plans for secur-
ing control of the Oregon Railway and
Navigation Company, which is one of the
main outlets of San Francisco to the
northern systems of transcontinental rail
roads.
The Union Pacific runs steamers from
its northern terminus to San Francisco,
but Mr.. Huntington has nothing to fear
from them. Indeed, the recently reported
scheme for the reorganization of that COM
pany is directly in the line of his fight
with the Government, as the provisions
devised therein for the adjustment of the
Government debt are similar in character
to Mr.. Huntington S plans for avoiding pay
ment of his debt to the Government. The
Oregon Railway and Navigation Company
is in a very different position. 1t is in the
hands of receivers who have no interests
in common with Mr.. Huntington's and
who have been worrying him greatly of
late.
The Navigation Company boldly cut rates
to the north and forced the Southern Pa
ciic to meet the cut between San Fran
cisco and Portland. The latter company
kept up the fight for a time and then was
compelled to raise its rates, being unable
to drive the Navigation Company out of
the field. Immediately following the
railroad raise the Navigation Company
steamers were crowded and as the COM
pany declares that it can maintain these
rates and conduct its business at a profit it
is evident that the Southern Pacific has a
hard enemy to fight.
The Navigation Company has been max
ing efforts recently to reorganize. II has
delayed, and the explanation is that Mr.
Huntington Is working in the matter and
shaping his course to secure control of the
company and remove it as a competitor
II this is accomplished CALIFORNIA; outlet
to the north will be as completely monop-
olized as is the isthmus. In view of his
success with so refractory a company as
the Panama Railway, it cannot be doubted
that Mr.. Huntington will succeed with
the Navigation Company, i: that is really
his plan.
Thus, by constantly strengthening his
monopoly of transportation between the
Atlantic and Pacific he is adding to the
list of reasons why the Nicaragua canal
should be assisted and controlled by the
Government. 1t is not question of ad-
varcing the private interests concerned in
the canal, but of making commerce be-
tween the Atlantic and Pacific possible
1t is monstrous and incredible that the
people of this country should hesitate for
a moment to break this enormous and
dangerous power held by one company.
The Nicaragua canal would correct all the
evils which that monopoly represents.
