Synopsis
Excerpt from Legislative Restriction on the Carrying Trade of the Railways of the State of New York: Viewed in Connection With Outside Competition; Addressed to the Citizens of the City and State of New York
From the memorable struggle which, through the exertions of the indomitable Clinton, resulted in the construction of the Erie Canal, the people of the State of New York have in no instance been called upon to decide a graver question than that presented in the proposition to place legislative restrictions upon the carrying trade of our railways. Those who favor this policy argue that 1ailway competition works a two -fold injury to the State: that it promotes the farming, manufacturing and industrial interests of other States to the detliment of our own, and that it materially lessens the revenues of our canals. To remedy these evils they propose that the Legislature shall enact the pro rata freight bill of 1858, and reimpose tolls on the railroads. On the other hand it is contended that the pro posed measures would operate disastrously on the railroads, would increase the burthens of our agricultural and manufac turing interests by a still further increase of the cost of trans portation within our own State, would drive a large portion of the through traffic upon rival thoroughfares outside of the State, and hence would fail to benefit the canals. To under stand properly the comprehensiveness and momentousness of the Issue, let us, at the outset, survey our present commercial position as a State.

This book, written in the 19th century, explores the fierce competition faced by New York's railways from emerging competitors such as the Pennsylvania Central Railroad and the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. The author examines how these competitors, with their shorter distances, lower fuel costs, and strategic alliances with western lines, were actively diverting trade away from New York's railroads. The book also discusses the role of steam navigation, rival thoroughfares in the north and south, and the impact of legislative restrictions on the carrying trade. This book provides a valuable insight into the challenges and complexities of the railway industry during a time of rapid expansion and innovation.
