dollar, the bull on value of which when
first coined was 90 cents, is today "a 3-5

silver and can no longer help to sus-
tain it, and the decline there
is steadily bringing down

THE PANAMA CANAL TANGLE.

THE PANAMA CANAL TANShE.
The pecuniary condition OF the
Panama canal project is becoming a
dangerous one to France, and the
question is now asked there why
France should supply half rs much
money IS it paid in indemnity to Ger
many to construct canal that will be
used principally by the United States
and EDgland2 M. Beaulieu, an
eminent French economist, suggests
in EEconomiste Frdncaise, that under
the circu instances the United Safes,
England, Germany, Italy, Russia, Hol-
land and Spain should be cslled upon
to give the work their sanction and
countsnance, aud guarantee OF the
interest on any future loan. This
would secure loans at a much lower
rate than is possible to obtain at pres
ent. Whsn the canal is opened
esch OF these powers to contribute
a proportional tonnage. If aly
advances OF money were made, which
ia not reckoned upon by the writer,
however, they would soon be repaid.
In all thip, Monsieur Beaulieu regards
the United States as the power prin-
cipaly int rested. So 1t IL, interested
in way the French writer does not
take into account. The United States
is aveTse to Completing its interests
with those OF the countries on the
Other eide OF the globe. The United
States has also treaty interests con-
nected with the canal, that give her
peculiar claims che is not disposed
to part with. The canal gives access,
not before existing, to the sea that
bounds 6u9shores, and our mercan-
tilsa9d peace and war positions are
str6r gly connected with the changes
th8 canal will bring about. Are
these Interests TO be sunk, or
10 be combined with the ma
lional Interests OF the European
powers? There is apparently ma.
tional trouble ahead connected
with this canal. II, as seems not I'M
probable, the affairs Of the canal
should become desperate, France in
its trouble msy resort to expsd ents
iuimical 10 our claims and national
welfare. II other powers should COM
bine with France, taking share in It's
canal properly, then Circums ances
would arise the United st ties could
not sCquiesce in. Should the canal be
completed without these embarrsss-
ments, then there is England and the
Bulwer treaty to be settled with. In
any event our Monroe docirn will be
hardly st ned, end who can tell that
IL will be successfully sustained? AL
together, tbe Panama canal promises
to give cur people what the French
call une mduUdjSe quart d'hetpe.
