Built from facts, figures, and primary source quotes, the author thoroughly examines aspects of the proposed project to demonstrate its cost would far outweigh its utility. The author begins by establishing the commercial shipping industry's natural flow and argues that the canal would do little to improve shipping times. Next, the author dismisses any âmilitary necessityâ argument, providing evidence that war with Canada is unlikely, and that even in the remote event of war, the canal would be a hindrance to defense. In the third section, the author thoroughly examines the complaints of the millers and merchants of Oswego, New York, who argue that they are victims of extortion by the railroads and that the canal is necessary to introduce competition, leading to lower shipping costs. The author concludes that the millers and merchants of Oswego have overstated their case, and that the savings to Western farmers would be offset by the negative impact on state coffers. The author concludes that a Niagara ship canal would provide little benefit to Western farmers and would impose large costs on both the State of New York and the U.S. government, diverting funds from more pressing needs. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
