Cruisers VS.. Foreign Capital.

Apropos of the speech by Mr.. Kasson in the
house on the senate amendments to tho naval
appropriation bill, in which no deplored the
fact that the Panama canal project was being
put through by foreign capital, and that tho
time would como when tho United States gov
ernment would have to assert itself in that
region, it may be said that another
project of similar character and
also backed by foreign capital, promises
soon to become menace. A good many
people may say that if we do not want our
interests threatened in that way by foreigners,
one way to avoid it is to 60 into the enter
prise with our own money and energy and
hold the fort as against all comers. But we
don't do that. We let tho. other fellows
pluck and daring, and then all we can do is
to talk about building navy to drive them
out.
The Panama canal will be completed with
out any doubt. We not only let foreign
company start that enterprise, but we sold it
the Panama railway by way of increasing its
facilities for work. Now another American,
who conceived tho daring enterprise of build
ing ship railway aross the isthmus of Te-
huantepec, departing of securing capital here
to prosecute the work, took it to London
and has nearly succeeded In raising the
necessary means. Capt Eads is tho ener-
getic protector, and he has just returned from
the hands Of wealthy syndicate, which is
furnishing funds for the preliminary work
in Mexico. Tho survey is completed and
the roadbed being constructed. 1t will be
100 miles long and cost S50O00,000 to $751;
100000, according to the size of vessels we
carry, l have no doubt of raising the money
and having tho railway running inside of
five years. A working model was exhibited
in London tho day before l left, and gave
universal satisfaction to such inspectors as
Mr.. Barnaby, chief constructor of the British
navy; Sir Edward Reed, NJ. p, late chief
constructor Chief Engineer Lister, of the
Liverpool docks, and other eminent en-
gineers. / shall rely on English capital to
complete the work."
Capt. Eads is one of the best known en-
gineers in America. His St. Louis bridge
and Mississippi jotties have made his fame
worldwide. His ship railway project may
and may not be feasible, but his models and
plans, were certainly complete as to detail,
and his faith great. He besieged congress
for aid to carry it out. He implored the
support of American capital Not word OF
encouragement could he get from tho ono,
or a dollar from the other. But English
capital steps in, sees tho advantages to be
gained, and will probably complete the en-
terprise. The next thing we shall hear from
congress will be that American supremacy
on the western hemisphere is again threat
ened and that We need q great navy to main
tain our dignity aud rights. We must 20 on
taxing the people to build cruisers and iron
Clads to watch tho encroachments OF foreign
capital which is enterprising enough to seoS
| investment in our hemisphere We had much
| better take our surplus revenue and mako
| these Investments ourselves.
