MANCHESTER. England.
October IA. 1908
About twenty-five years ago the people
In Manchester and vicinity discovered
that their industrial and commercial su-
premacy was seriously threatened: that
the prosperity of the greatest of Il manu-
featuring districts was not only arrested,
but was on the decline. An investigator
OF the subject demonstrated that these
conditions were due to the inability OF tho
manufacturers to compete with their
rivals because of the expense of trans
portation between Manchester and the
seaooard-oQ raw material coming in and
HIlshed products going out. 1t was sug-
Sested that this difficulty might be re-
moved by the construction of canal to
handle foreign trade direct between that
city and the River Mersey. which was
done at an expense of more than s9OOOO,-

Good Results Of Opening the Canal.
The canal was opened for traffic Janu-
airy !, 1894. and the result is perfectly sat
isfactory. The influence of the new water
way upon the district was felt for some
time before it was actually opened for
frame a large proportion of the cost was
PAID In wages to local labor. and before
the opening of the canal the railway COM
panleS had made such reductions in ire gnt
rates as materially increased the prouts
or industries which had previously found
1t difficult to make money because OF the
expense of transportation. The construc-
tion Of the canal las Increased the popu-
lation Of the Manchester district very
largely. 1t has advanced the value of
property as we'll as the volume of bust
ness. 1t has reduced the cost of raw ma
terial. and, consequently, the expense OF
production. and everybody is the better
for it.
For example, before the canal was built
all the cotton consumed In the Manches-
ter district, which. have said before
is the largest manufacturing district in
the world. had to be unloaded from the
ocean steamers at Liverpool. hauled
through that city on carts to a railway
station. carried to Manchester by rail
| unloaded from the cars into warehouses
and then hauled to the factories by
wagons. at a total expense of las Sd per

This order does more than benefit

Organization, since the incipiency

In these organizations which have

non-esSentials, and striving for the
converse have placed leadership in
the HANDS of those most worthy and

that II the white vote had been as

Colonel Harris would be governor OF

VIII Not Support Bryan.

with these things in view, We can
hardly believe that any number Of our
people will support the national Dem
ocrauc ticket And should we do so.
it will be one Of the strongest arEu-
ments that can be produced against
us-that we do not rise to the dignity
Of American citizenship; that We do
not attach the proper importance to
the ballot, which is the only weapon
OF warfare that the poor man has to
protect his political and civil rights,
that we do not appreciate the unuring
efforts and sacrifices OF some of the
best men the world has ever produc-
ed; that we are not worthy OF the
many advantages secured to our peo-.
pie in the last forty.two years by the
Republican party. In fact. it is uu.
reasonable to leave the true and the
tried and to force ourselves upon
those who are giving out statements
from time to time that they favor our
iistranchisement and who have not
expressed a desire to have our sup
port and cooperation.
