Lobby fund aims to kill canal and ship money to Columbus
A secret lobby fund reportedly plans to discontinue the Miami and Erie canal with $26,000 subscribed, likely to prompt a bill in Columbus. Railroads and other interests back the move, while canal supporters warn that the canal remains vital. A Toledo letter discusses merchants, farmers, and taxation, urging restraint and unity to preserve home trade and prevent bankruptcy amidst sharp competition. The Columbus Post notes President Harrison’s reaction to a cloture defeat, with some Republicans relieved by the setback.
