MERGE and Industry"
Consul General Mason, now in Paris,
but for some years at Frankfort, says:
German craftsmanship was among
the first to foresee that the time
would come when, railways having
reached their maximum extension and
efficiency, there would remain a vast
surplus of coarse, raw materials-coal,
ores, timber, stone, and crude metals
which could be economically carried
long distances only by water trans
portation, and that in a fully de-
,veloped national system the proper
role of railroads would be to carry
passengers and the higher classes of
merchandise manufactured from the
raw staples that the waterways had
brought to their doors"

establishment of the new port of Man
chester; but instead of being injured
by the canal, the business of Liverpool
has increased faster than before. Dur
ing the 10 years before the canal was
opened the increase in the harbor re-
ceipts at Liverpool was only 100000;
in the same length of time after it
was opened the increase was $780,
900. The 100000 tons of traffic at
Manchester have not been stolen from
Liverpool, they have been created by
the canal.
Frankfort, Germany, before the
River Main was improved, was not
dying city but was decidedly stagnant.
Mannheim and Mayence on the Rhine,
which had been improved, were grow
ing rapidly, while Frankfort was grow
ing very little. AS soon as the canal
ization of the river was finished, which
was in 1886, the city began to grow
and has kept on growing ever since.
The population, which was 1874, 900 in
1885, has increased to 229, 900 in 1895,
to $4,000 In 1905, and is probably
more than 100000 now. Evidently the
people of Frankfort expect their city
to keep on growing, too. They spent
over $1,500,000 on a harbor when the
river was first improved and are
hard at work right now building a
new and much larger harbor at cost
of SIT ,600,0 G0. Just as in the case Of
Manchester, the benefit was not con-
fined to the city of Frankfort; the In
dustrial and commercial life Of the
whole region was greatly stimulated.
Mines long closed were reopened, new
industries were started, and today
there is an almost continuous success
sion Of factories lining the banks of
the river from Frankfort to the
Rhine.
