The advantages of the proposed
Gulf Coast Inland Waterway to Pen
sacola are numerous.
In the first place, Pensacola is a
one-railroad point Barge transporta-
ton from Mississippi river points and
the Atlantic seaboard will give her the
desired competition on products for
her own consumption, and, by means
of the various rivers in her vicinity,
she will obtain a leverage of compe-
tition for the distribution of her whole
sale and manufactured articles.
Somewhere on the gull seaboard, the
United States government must have
coaling station Because Of the
Panama canal, the largest section OF
the navy will be kept in gulf waters,
in the closest striking distance, TO
both the Atlantic and Pacific sea
boards.
Pensacola, with her fine harbor, and
her water depth greater than any
other gulf port. should be the base OF
the Mexican gulf fleet, were it not for
the fact that coal and iron are acces-
sible to her only by rail transportation
Upon the construction of the gulf
coast inland waterway and the open
ing of the Warrior river to navigation,
this objection would be removed, and
coal and iron would be transported by
barges to Pensacola not only for use
in coaling and repairing the navy, bat
also for use in a great ship building
plant and general local purposes.
The waterway will be the means of
collecting and centTaliZing lumber.

for export.
The exchange of coast commerce
at Pensacola will be greatly increased.
The suburban residence and small
farm districts of Pensacola will be

west, and the inland waterway provide

The following is a copy of notice

Thus it is shown that the republi-

fund contributed by those some manu-
facturers.
Somewhat the same methods were
employed in 1909, but with less effect.
In both campaigns Bryan was held up
before the workingman as the enemy
OF the workingman's employer. The
employe was told that if Bryan were
elected al unprecedented panic would
follow, and the industrial world would
be parslyzed- The poor man would
become poorer because of lack of en-
ployment.
And the laboring classes believed.
and voted for what was denominated
the "full dinner pail" As a result the
factories continued running and the
workingman kept his job. But there
was fly in the ointment There was
plenty of work and fair wages, judged
by what had been considered as fair.
But-under this full dinner pail
regime; this era of prosperity; this
period of protection to infant indus
tries, the workingman discovered that
the wages for his work DID NOT BUY
AS MUCH AS FORMERLY.
His rent was increased.
His grocery bill was larger.

The gulf coast will become a verit-

intercepted navigabIe water lines, will
become the play ground of America s
millions
! have long dreamed of a railroad
which would follow the meanderings
Of the gulf coast and give the coast
towns direct connection with each
other. But because of the extremely
irregular contour of the coast and
the numerous streams entering the
gulf, such a road, doubtless, is not
feasible The solution of the prob
lem lies in the gulf coast inland water
way. which will furnish the direct
connection at a greatly reduce rate for
cost of transportation.
The Literary Digest says:
VIM r. Taylor, president of the
Reading Railroad company, IN a PAM

have stopped this expenditure, he
doubts if prosperity will return on the
