THE HrDNON AND THE RHINE

THE M DNON AND THE RHINE
The interesting proposal is before Con-
gress. and i apparently receiving much
favorable attention. that the Hudson
River shall be improved 80 aS 10 assure
a. all times a navigable channel twelve
feet deep and two hundred feet wide as
far a. Waterford. This action is intended
primarily TO prepare the river 10 provide
suitable connection with and outlet for
the barge canal which is being CON
Structed across the state. or the desira-
bility of some such Improvement Of the
river for that purpose and also for other
reasons there can be no doubt.
The Hudson is often called the Ameri-
can Rhine and 80 far as scenic attrac-
tiOnS are concerned it is well worthy Of
the title. Commercially. however. there
is contrast rather than comparison be-
tween the streams. Il fact which NAV be
illustrated 10y the citation of a single
circumstance. Cologne. on the Rhine. Is
about l.o miles inland. or about the
same distance from the mouth of the
Rhine that Albany is from the mouth
of the Hudson. But. unlike ALBANY. the
German city il an important seaport

ocean steamers of several different lines
which ply between il and ports on the
Baltic and North seas
There are probably several reasons
why the Hudson has not been made

Of them ought To prevail II will doubt-
less he argued that il is better to carry
all goods 10y rail 10 and from New York

great port of this part of the country.
Well, Hamburg is comparable with New
York in the magnitude of its commerce
but Germany has not thought il wise
To centre all commerce there to the
neglect of inland ports on the Rhine and
other rivers.
Germany Il of all nations making the
most progress in industry and com.

her marvellous "-owth is found I'm her
