Railroads “Down East.” (New York New England manufacturers merchants fear that they will their trade connections through removal of differential rates to west ern points. These differentials have always been a bhone of contention, hut Boston merchants have claimed that cannot live without them. Be- fore the federal government com- mandeercd a large part of the co. shipping New England shippers could lay down merchandise at all Atlantic cdast and Gulf ports in com- petition with manufacturing cities of If they could "get plenty of ships now, or if they were able to build ships for this special service they could compete with their ern rivals for the trade of a large part of the country. By waw Orleans and Galveston they could reach the Rocky Mountain states as far north and west as Den- ver and Salt Lake city. and their trade route to the Pacific coast by way of the Panama Canal much cheaper than all rail Chicago or St. Louis. Without ships and deprived of the to build or buy ships to be controlled and operated by New Eng- lan@ interests for ‘their own speclal benefit, these merchants and manu- facturers will be hit between wind and water by the abolition of the dif- ferential rates they have hitherto en- joved. Until the war requirements of the federal government are met it is useless to attempt to build or huy ships, so they will probably be de- prived of their natural method of Commercial). and loss) the from | competing or forcing concessions for the duration of the war. Meanwhile New York city will receive the full bencfit of the State Barge Canal and the Great Lakes, while Boston's only relief will be such rate cutting as Canadian railways may indulge in for the purpose of maintaining their long hay] business to and from the ports of Boston and Portland, Maine. It is fairly arzuable that differential rates have done New FEngland more harm than good The railroads these differential rates in favor of Boston and against New York in return for the abandonment by independent New England inter- ests of all serious attempts to main- tain steamship lines in competi- tion with the railroads along the At- lantic seaboard and into the Gulf of Mexico. By granting these differential rates the railroads got in return free- dom from real competition by water. One of New York's greatest mer- chants said years ago that this city's chief asset is the Atlantic ocean. He was referring solely to domestic trade with the rest of the country as it might be affected by the opening of the Panama Canal. What he said of New York is still truer of Boston, Providence and other Necw FEngland points. From his point of view it would have paid New England hetter to have built ships and to have oper- ated them independently of the rail- roads.
