About this last point, however, there Can be
no question. Competition Is the soul Of bust
ness in transoceanic telegraph lines as IN every
thing else. We arc in favor OF having as many
cables laid as possible, so that If one breaks or
is obstructed another may be available, and so
that no monopoly may dictate exorbitant terms
for the transmission Of messages. In his pam
phlet Signor do Msrcoartu gives brief, impair
tial and intelligent account Of the various sub
marine telcgraphs now in actual operation, and
from their success no dsduccs the conclusion
that the lines in contemplation will be success
ful also. OF this. es we h.ays said before, we
have not the slightest doubt. The Signof
claims for the route which he has selected the
important advantages that IL crosses the ocean
where the distance between Europe and
America 10 least, and that II passes "by many
important islands and BY various capes sud
banks favorabiy situated for the subdivision Of
The length OF he line into short sections
shorter, indeed thar many Of the lines already
estsblished between other points.'' We desire
