But economic laws | seem capable of finally overcoming all things, even superstition. There is much commerce and travel by canal between Shang- | hai, Soochau and Hangchau. This trade has been carried in steam nches 2nd three companies catered for it, the Tai Sun Chong, the Taito and the China Merchants line. They were actual com- | petitors and the business increased very rapidly. But in 1903 they combined, went into 2 transportation trust, in fact, and put up. prices. Then the trade began to be diverted to the slow going junks and there is so much discontent with the situation that the traders and natives are demanding a railroad to relieve them of the ex- actions of water tramsportation. So pronounced is this demand that the natives offer to waive the right of their ancestors and let a right of way be had, provided it does not run through any family tomb. In 1902, before the launch trust was formed, 250,709 natives traveled from Hangchau to Shanghai, which shows extraordinary mobility for Chinese. The freight in silk and tea carried was very large, and after the combine, tea freight was put up to $1 8 per ton and silk to $1 70 and coal to $1 50. As the distance is only 150 miles these rates seem high for water carriage. They have quite seriously affected trade and the merchants and even the peasants and operatives seem to have a regular American fever for a railroad. The situation is worth inspection by our American railroad builders. The franchise, if granted, will go to Chinese, but they will need the services ‘of builders from this country. If this road be built by the withdrawal of the opposition of superstition, it may well mean an industrial awakening in other parts of China by the construction of railway lines that will favorably affect the trade of the worid with that empire.
