RIVER and rail
It I frequently asserted, and with ex
cellent foundation, that the Prussian
system of Inland waterway Improvement
a work in which no section of the
country la so vitally interested at the
great Northwest is the best and the
most comprehensive in all Europe, but
tlie Inland waterways system of France
ib, none the less, a most admirable object
lesson.' That France should enter on
the expenditure of more than one billion
of dollar on Inland waterways it not
surprising. The French are the
most economical, and the richest of all
people of Europe. They saw in the Im
proved waterways a means of communi
cation between producer and consumer
at once, cheap, safe and continuous, and
they appreciated the fact that the hos
tility between river and rail wat a hos- '
tillly without substantial basis,
Imbued with the soundness of that
view the committee of the French
Senate, having tne question before it.
thus reported to the Kenate In 1003 "It
is futile to deny that transpotatlon I less
costly by water than by rail and where
transportation by water and by rail are
Kith available they complement and
complete each other, the o ,e transport
ing heavy ma'eriala, the low i-o-t of
which Is an indispeiisible condition to
the Vitality of ill lunries which augment,
in their turn, the traffic of tti rail y."
The report, concurred in by lanh
branches of the lexl-ilatme b ly .1 th
French Republic, resulted in h- per
fecting of the system of improvement of
tlie artitlcial and natural inland water
ways of France and every branch of
trade and commerce is feeling the in
estimable benefit of the wisdom of the
French legislative bidy in the comple
tion of a system wbich is now a part of
the lined policy of the government of
the country. Of the traffic on the
French waterway tlie latest available
figures show that whild It reached 32,-
4:W,701 tons In 1905, it increase to 33,
077,310 tons in 1900. Coal was carried
by water from Cetteto Touloue at (0.77
per ton, while the railway cuares be
tween the same points was, 184. The
rate for wheat on the Rlun e ietn
Lyons and Marcelles, in l'.KXJ wu 1 03
per ton, while by rail between the same
points, appioximately the same distance
it was $2.03 per ton.
Ureal though the difference in rates
lietween the to modes of transportation
in France unquestionably is, the differ-
Pence in the United Slates is still greater
with the ditllculty, in this c-tuntry.
that the difference applies only to th

fixed policy on definite lines, with an

work and with the work continuously

There is no reaon why every section
