HIS VIEWS ON THE NICARAGUA
CANAL
A Comprehensive stare h'eAs ~
One who has Thoroughly studied
the subject.

striking: After stating the necessity
for shortening the route between the
Atlantic and Pacific ports, and refer
ring to the former efforts TO get canal
both on the part of this country and
Central America and European coun-
tries. Until the breaking out of the
civil war in this country, this project
presented an important topic for con-
sideration, and overshadowed all
questions relating solely to the indus
trial development and international
commerce, and ended in results which
have given new and vast interest and
Importance to every enterprise which
can add power to the republic and ad-
vance prosperity to us as people.
Stepping at once into the front rank
among the powerful nations of the
earth, the United States has entered,
as it were, spontaneously upon ca
reer of development almost unparal-
lelled in the history of the world. BY the
growth of the states along the Pacific
coast, by the erection of trans-continen-
tial lines of railway, by the occupation
of new lands, by the opening of new
mines, by the increasing of mechanical
and manufacturing enterprises, by the
introduction of her products on an
amazing scale into all countries of the
world, by her devotion to system of
finance which requires incessant in
dustry among all classes of people, and
the cheapest possible means of inter
course and transportation, the
United states has given new and deep
er Importance to every method by
which industry can be advanced, and
commerce can be promoted. III should
not be forgotten that the states of
North and South America lying along
the Pacific have furnished IN large
abundance those commodities winch
are constantly supplied with markets
In almost every country IN Europe.
