The Freight Question. ? The record shows that freights for the Hawaiian Islands average $2 per ton from New York and that one-third of thir amount goes to this 190 mlle railroad. Thc president of the Hu- v waitan steamship company gave this testimony before a congressional com mittee. The opening of the 1 canal - with free tolls to American ships would undoubtedly wipe out Lord Cowdray's railroad, but it would also lower sugar $4 per ton to .the Ameri can people. Alfred Henry Lewis puts it tn a nutshell, when he says, "The fight. ls. between $Cr.,000,000 of ' Lord Oov/dtay's' English' Tehuantepec raU road money and $400.000,000 canal money. That IF the precise issue pr? i ented by a contest over freeing the cunai to American coastwise ships." if it ls not a subsidy to charge American ship?. $4 per ton so that this English railroad may retain Its freight i ate, what lr it?
