CHAPTER LIII.
HIGHWAYS, RAILROADS, RIVER AND CANAL NAV- IGATION.
ONE of the most ancient roads that traversed Mer- cer County was the old road from New Brunswick to Trenton, or, as described before these names were as- signed to those places, from "Inians Ferry," on the Raritan, to the " Falls of the Delaware." This road was originally an Indian path. "In 1667, William Edmundson, a public Friend, traveling southward from New York, says he traveled all day with a Fin from the Falls of the Delaware (southward) without seeing a soul ; and from Middletown Point coming to Delaware River, although with an Indian, they could not find the way all day, and were obliged to go back so as to find the Raritan River at any point, and thence to follow its margin until they could find a small landing from New York ; and thence to follow a small path to Delaware Falls, and by this means only they found their way. He says 'we saw no tame animals in all the way !' " 1
In 1748, Professor Kalm, the Swedish traveler, passed over the same route from New Brunswick to Trenton, and said, "On the road from Trenton to New Brunswick I never saw any place in America, the towns excepted, so well peopled."
The same writer at that date, speaking of Trenton, says, "The inhabitants of the place carried on a small trade with the goods which they got from Philadel- phia, but their chief gain consists in the arrival of the numerous travelers between that city and New York ; for they are commonly brought by the Trenton yachts from Philadelphia to Trenton, or from thence to Philadelphia. But from Trenton further to New Brunswick the travelers go in wagons, which set out every day for that placc." . . "For between Phila- delphia and Trenton all goods go by water, but be- tween Trenton and New Brunswick they are all car- ried by land, and both these conveniences belong to the people of this town."
This road passed through Kingston, Princeton, and Lawrenceville to Trenton. It was the road over which the armies of Washington, and of Cornwallis pursu- ing him, passed in December, 1776. The Quaker
road from Crosswicks and Sandtown runs into it at Worth's Mills on Stony Brook.
At the beginning of this century travel and cartage had become so great on this route that greater facili- ties were demanded, and in 1804 a turnpike company was chartered. known as the " Straight Turnpike from
ville, Pennsneck, and the Sand Hills. For a quarter of a century there was extensive staging and carting on this road. It is not now a toll-road.
In 1807 the Princeton and Kingston Branch Turn- pike Company was incorporated. It went from Tren- ton straight to Princeton, and thence on the old road to Kingston, where it soon intersected the Straight Turnpike, and also had a branch across Rocky Hill to the Georgetown and New Brunswick turnpike, through Ten-Mile and Six-Mile Run. This became the most popular stage-route between Treuton and New Brunswick in the days of staging across the State. This Princeton and Kingston Branch pike has ceased to be a toll-road, though it has been bought by the joint companies and its franchises belong to them. The old road from Trenton to Pennington and to Hopewell, and those from these : towns to the Delaware River ferries, as well as the Old Scotch road through Ewing and the river road through Hopewell. which were traveled by the armies in the Revolution, still remain as the most ancient highways of Mercer County. So, also, the roads to Burlington, to Allentown, and to Cranberry through the lower townships, are still used as the principal highways of the county. Some of these roads have been taken by incorporated turnpike companies in later years, as that of the Trenton and Pennington pike and the Trenton and Allentown pike.
The common roads of the county are numerous and make pleasant drives in the summer and autumn, but are not worked and kept up with the advance of cis- ilization, and in winter and spring they often become almost impassable through want of proper grading and bad treatment.
The county of Mercer has become well furnished with railroad facilities. The Camden and Amboy Branch, now a part of the great trunk road of the Pennsylvania Company across the State of New Jer- sey, affords us direct and quick connection with New York and Philadelphia for all our freight and pas- sengers. The branch to Bordentowu connects with all the roads in the lower counties. The Belvidere Road, on the bank of the Delaware, intersects roads that traverse all the northern counties and connect with all the coal-mines and railroad routes of the North and West. The Delaware and Bound Brook Road,-run by the Reading,-starting from Trenton, penetrates the townships of Ewing and Hopewell, and forms a competing route for passengers and freight with the Pennsylvania Road to New York and Phila- delphia. Every township in the county has at least one railroad passing through it. Princeton is reached

by a branch road from the junction of the Pennsyl- vania track in West Windsor. These roads place our county and almost every village in it in railroad con- nection with the railroad world. The road from Cam- den to Amboy by Bordentown opens a way to the city markets from the townships of Hamilton, Wash- ington, and East Windsor. The whole county re- sounds all day and all night with the rumbling sound of the distant trains, broken only by the shrill whistle of an approaching locomotive.
The city of Trenton has two horse railroad compa- nies running cars through the city.
The Delaware River from Trenton southward is a tide-water navigable stream. Before the days of rail- roads it was more highly esteemed as a mode of trans- portation of freight and passengers between Trenton and Philadelphia. It was liable to be interrupted by ice in winter. Perhaps the depth of water in the channel was greater a hundred years ago than it is at the present time. But the channel should be kept open and vessels adapted to the capacity of the river should be employed continually upon it. A steam- boat, however small and light it may be, should be kept plying the river daily from Trenton. And while the river above the falls may not be considered navigable, it is a beautiful stream for aquatic amuse- ments, and at times for transportation in small crafts. Where is there so beautiful a river which is so little appreciated and enjoyed by those living on its banks as the Delaware from the Water Gap down to Tren- ton ? Let its pure water be kept unadulterated.
The Delaware and Raritan Canal, seventy-five feet wide, a noble public work, passes through Trenton and the centre of Mereer County, and carries an im- mense tonnage of freight during the eanal season. Huge steamers and mast ships may be seen passing through the fields of agriculture where no river flows, -a monument of human enterprise and capital.
This canal, whose termini are in the Raritan at New Brunswick, and in the Delaware at Bordentown, is supplied with water from the Delaware at Banl's Island by the feeder which comes down on the margin of the river to Trenton, where it feeds the canal. This feeder itself is a canal, and does a large amount of eanal transportation of coal and other merchandise all along its route.
With all these extraordinary facilities, Mercer County in all its townships enjoys a home market for all its produce and manufactures. Its commercial advantages are by no means insignificant.

CHAPTER LIV.
MANUFACTURES.
WHILE the land in Mercer County is devoted to agricultural productions, and yields its full propor- tion of produce with other counties, the city of i
Trenton is a prominent manufacturing centre, where over four millions of dollars of capital are invested in manufacturing enterprises, yielding a yearly product in value of over nine millions of dollars.
A reference to the local history of Trenton, herein- after given, will afford some idea of the extended in- dustries carried on in the city, but the analytical sta- tisties of the United States census of 1880, not yet published and distributed, will alone give a correct statement thereof.
We have been able to obtain from the United States Census Bureau, at Washington,' the following con- densed tabular statement in advance, though confined to Trenton, which will be read with much interest :

We append also an extract from the Thirteenth Annual Report of the Board of Trade of the City of Trenton, prepared by Mr. W. Stelle, their secretary, and published in the Trenton State Gazette, Feb. 4, 1881:
" We regret that we are unable to furnish accurate and complete statistics of the industrial interests of Trentou, and are only able to furnish approximate figures of three of the more prominent manufac- tures of Trenton, but hope for more complete returns at an early date. And first on the list we would mention the pottery interest.
" The year 1880 has been one of exceptional thrift among the potteries of Trenton ; not only have they been steadily employed the whole year producing an amount of ware in excess of any preceding twelve months, but most of the manufacturers have made large additions to their works, thus largely increasing their manufacturing capacity, and preparing to meet the increasing deuiand for their wares, which are every season be- coming better known and more extensively sought after and appreciated by a discriminating public.
" Foreign competition has not relaxed during the period, and contiuned low prices for imported warey has necessitated corresponding discounts by our home manufacturers. One special feature of the pottery indus- tries is the great advance that has been made in the quality and extent of the decorations. Almost every factory now has a large force of their own employed in this branch of the industry on their own premises, nor does this force employed materially interfere with the successful busi- ness of some six extra establishments devoted to decorating alone. Trenton can now boast of twenty-seven potteries of various kinds, be- side the decorating establishimeuts, as follows :
" China potteries, 7; White Granite C. C. and stone porcelain, 15; Yellow and Rockingham ware, 1 ; Terra Cotta and fire-brick, 2; Stilt factories, 2; making a total of 27.
"During the year 1880 three new factories have been built, viz .:
"Prospect Pottery, Dale & Davis; Enterprise Pottery, C. H. Skirmn & Co .; Trenton China Co., Clark & Tams. New kilns erected in 1880, 20. Estimated amount of ware produced, $2,700,000; estimated amount of wages paid, $1,500,000; hands employed, 3600; coal consumed, 40,000 tons; other materials, 40,000 tons; with a capital invested of about $3,000,000.
"These figures show a healthy and steady increase when compared with figures before us of the Centennial year, and they give every evi- dence of a prosperous and growing industry which is being successfully prosecuted in out midst.
"The ' Trenton Potteries' are becoming as familiar as household words, while the eyes of the nation are being turned towards us as they read of our manufactures as depicted and illustrated in the weekly papers and standard monthly magazines of the day. We refer more especially to an article in the February number of Harper's Magazine for the cur- rent year, from the pen of Miss Fryatt, in terms of high appreciation of this particular industry which is being successfully prosecuted in our midst.
" The next industry claiming our attention at this time is the iron- works.
" In this department of the manufactures of Trenton there is a large amount of capital invested giving employment to quite an army of hands, yet the statistics that we have been able to gather are far from being complete, and we can only approximate the amount in our esti- mates, which furnish the following results : capital invested, $3,500,000; wages paid per annum, 81,200,000; value of products, $4,800,000 ; average number of hands employed, 3000; coal consumed, 75,000 tons ; pig iron, old rails, etc., 30,000 tons; scrap iron, 35,000 tons.
" These figures show to some extent the large amount of business done in the iron trade of Trenton, furnishing employment to a large number of hands and tending largely to the business prosperity of our city.
" Another branch of the industries of Trenton is assuming an impor- tant place in the manufacturing pursuits of our people, and that is the Jabber business.
" This is an industry which at no distant day will be one of vast in-
portance, and even at the present time Is furnishing employment for considerable capital and keeping busy a large force of skilled laborers.
" From estimates furnished ns we are able to give the following sta- tistics :
"Amount of capital invested, $100,000; number of hands employed, 450: wages paid per annum, $200,000; cost of material used, such as rubber, cotton duck, muslin, etc., $1,100,000; whiting, 5000 barrels : barytes, 1500 barrels; ziuc, 2000 barrels; litharge soapstone, etc., about 1500 barreis ; dry lead, 250 tous.
"The works already established have a capacity of turning out 7,000,000 pounds of manufactured goods per annum. Among which are liose, car springs, packing, belting, and all goods for manufacturing purposes.
"The best grade of crnde rubber come from Para, Brazil, and along the valley of the Amazon River, in South America, and is worth at present from fifty-nine cents to eighty-six cents per pound. Other grades of crude rubber such as Central America strip and slab, Esmeralda and Panama strip, Nicaragua sheet, African flake, etc., come from the coun- tries represented by their names, and are worth in the market from forty-five cents to fifty-six cents per pound.
" The rubber factories of Trenton distribute their manufactures all over the country, and large quantities are sent to Canada, California, and Cuba, at the same time New York and Boston handle large amounts for export to other countries. The general out-look for the coming year is good, and unless some unforeseen calamity overtakes our manufactures, the business of the coming year will far exceed that of the year just closed.
"There are other very important industries carried on in our midst to which we are unable to refer at present, but hope at an early date to give a more complete list of the several industrial establishments of our city."
The State Gasette, in an editorial written within the present year, after describing the progress of the city within the last twenty years, and noting the handsome mercantile structures and public build- ings, as well as the beautiful private residences. which have supplanted the little old-fashioned build- ings in Greene, State, Broad, Warren, and other streets, ascribes its growth to the manufacturing in- terests, and closes in the following language :
"The city has, indeed, been fairly transformed in twenty years from a sleepy, old-fashioned town, that had reposed here on the banks of the Delaware in rather proud old fogyism for two hundred years, into a live, wide-awake, and growing city.
" This transformation, this rapid growth, is dne to a single cause,-the development of our manufacturing interests. The vigorous impulse to grow and go ahead came with the establishment of the pottery manu- facture here and the expansion of our iron and other industrial inter- ests. Take them away, and the city would immediately shrink to its foruier meagre proportions, and a fatal blight would fall upou the para- lyzed city. Our mercantile trade and many other branches of business have grown and flourished, but the mainspring of the vigorous move- ments of all has been the manufacturing interests.
"The direction which should be given the commercial and social en- ergies of the place is therefore plain. Trenton must be a great manu- facturing city or nothing. Here lies her road to greatness. Within the ensuing twenty years her growth in population and wealth may be double that of the past twenty years if our advantages and possibilities be fully availed of,-if we put our commercial energies and capabilities to their fullest and most intelligent use. All experts agree that our nat- ural situation is peculiarly advantageous for manufacturing. We have abundant water-power and water-ways for transportation. We are con- venient to the markets, to the coal-mines, and to the sources of crude materials. We are on the line of great competing railroads connecting with all parts of the country. Land is still abundant and comparatively cheap for manufacturing sites. Our taxes are light, living here is cheap, and our climate is salubrious and healthfot. If Trenton seriously and energetically address itself to that object, this city may become one of the largest and most prosperous manufacturing centres in the country."

BANKS, COUNTY FINANCES, AGRICULTURE, PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
CHAPTER LV.
STATISTICS -- BANKS, COUNTY FINANCES, AGRICULTURE, PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
THERE are within the county of Mercer five banks of discount and deposits, viz. :
Trenton Banking Company, capital of $500,000; Mechanics' National Bank, capital $500,000; First National Bank of Trenton, capital $500,000; Prince- ton National Bank, capital $100,000; First National Bank of Hightstown, capital $150,000.
The Trenton Banking Company is an old and reputable institution, which still retains its State charter, and has never organized under the national banking system.
The Central National Bank of Hightstown, in 1879, went into liquidation, and thereupon the First National Bank of that place increased its capital from $100,000 to $150,000.
These banks are all in good repute, and are so managed as to pay good dividends and hold large in- dividual deposits.
There are also the following savings-banks in the county, viz. : The Trenton Savings-Fund Society at Trenton, State Savings-Bank at Trenton, the Prince- ton Savings-Bank at Princeton.
These several institutions have at present the fol- lowing officers, viz. :
The Trenton Banking Company .- Philemon Dickin- son, president ; Joseph H. Bruere, cashier.
Mechanics' National Bank .- Timothy Abbot, presi- dent; James H. Clarke, cashier.
First National Bank of Trenton .- Edward Howe, president : S. Thompson Seger, cashier.
The First National Bank of Hightstown .- N. S. Rue, president ; Joseph H. Johnes, cashier.
Trenton Savings-Fund .- Caleb S. Green, president ; Lewis Parker, treasurer.
Princeton Savings- Bank .- L. H. Anderson, presi- dent; Crowell Marsh, treasurer.
