THINKS BAY BRIDGE
PLAN CHIMERlCAL
Baltimore Buye'; Must Pay Better
Prices Before Trade Can Il" Vt
tracted 10 City.

Cambridge. Nd. Dec. 10, l9I6.
Editor of The Banner
The old dream Of budglns the
Chesapeake Bay has been Dreamed on
er again. The original dreamer
seems 10 have been General ASnuS,
of the Baltimore American. and nov
our esteemed and progressive Cover
nor has dreamed that such bridge
is a great public necessity, and the
dream is just now being given VIDE
publication.
In last SUNDAYS American we find
a very interesting article on this sub
ject, from the pen of Mr.. Bratton.
widely known rs a member OF the
American editorial staff, and man
of marked ability in the field OF jour
naIism, who. among other things,
says:
BY the construction of the bridge
a large part OF the Eastern Shore
trade. which logically. if not geo&ra-
phically, belongs 10 Baltimore. Will
be diverted to this city from Phlla-
delphia. The geographical barrier
will be removed by the bridge. Inc
State has spent millions upon MILL
ons of dollars IN building good roads
on the Eastern Shore. on hospitals,
on colleges, and academies, and 1t Is
:, sorrowful sight for Baltimore mer-
chants to witness the greater trade
enjoyed by Philadelphia merchants
than by themselves. Not only would
Baltimore enjoy greater share OF
this trade, but the city would become
the great distributing point for sur
plus Eastern Shore products.
The writer cannot agree with MI.
Bratton's views on the trade sltua-
ton or the benefits that Will come TO
Baltimore's business interests from
the construction of the bridge for
the farmers and truckers Of the
Eastern Shore viii continue, as here
tofore, to seek the highest market
for their products.
When fruits. vegetables, etc, are
ready to be marketed, we find at all
important shipping points On the Pc
ninsula, buyers from Boston, New
York and Philadelphia, who pay
down the cash at the station and
who pay higher prices than Baltl-
more produce dealers can or VIII
pay. The same conditions will exist
should the proposed bridge ever be
constructed; therefore, unless Balti-
more can offer equally as good IN
ducements as other markets growers
will continue to ship where they get
the most money.
For example, ask the Hirst broth
ers why they ship their early peas,
potatoes, asparagus, beans. etc, to
New York.
Ask Mr.. Corkran and other canta-
loupe growers why they ship to New
York.
Ask our poultry raisers why they
ship their dressed poultry to North
ern markets.
The answers will be the same
they receive higher prices than they
can obtain in Baltimore.

opinion
So much for the first time when it
is said that We whipped England
My school books taught me that
we whipped England again in the
War of 1872. No one has been able
TO define very specifically the cause
of that conflict We made some just
claims that our commerce had been
interfered with. War was declared
by Majority of one, and without re-
ed to have been lighting. except the
recognition of fundamental rights
which England claimed never to have
violated. ii was ended unanimously.
In the war EnGland had 1000 men
in Canada. and they drove the Unit
ed States army ont of the Dominion.
England attacked the city OF Wash
ington. 1t was defended until eight
men had been killed and twelve
wounded. and then We let them burn
it,
We did have some very marked
naval victories. England was very
glad to end the conflict for she had
job nearer home we'll worth her
consideration Napoleon had broken
loose. and was threatening all crea-
| ton. Both parties being anxious to
quit, there was not much difficulty in
arranging the terms. Two years la
ter, England whipped Napoleon.
During the recent war, it was re-
yealed that when We went to war
with Spain, a secret meeting of the
| leading diplomatic of Europe was
called and the question was consid-
| cred whether they would join with
Spain and teach the United States a
lesson. In that meeting, England,
alone. opposed the measure and OPP
emily declared that in conflict of
that kind, she would be found on
the side of the United States.
After Dewey had sunk the fleet in
Manila Bay, Won Diedrich, then in
command of a German warship in
the harbor, attempted to run the
blocade. Admiral Dewey ordered
him to desist and when lie showed
disposition not to obey, Dewey
cleared his decks for action. There
upon, British warship moved up
and anchored by the side of Dewey.
and Won Diedrich moved off.
