Too much stress cannot be laid on the
great importance TO the commercial intei-
esis and prosperity of the country of the
Nicaragua canal scheme II is not only
an undertaking essentially American,
and, as such, should commend itself ~
the American people, but it promises 10
work out incalcuable benefit as pro

as valuable means Of defense in case
the Republic should ever be involved in

debt incurred by the Panama company

figures the Engineering Neecs of the l4th

seem more than ample, but others seem
rather small, while the harbor work at

bic enterprise, even If the Panama canal
should be completed, for at equal tolls
the sailing vessels would take it because
OF the more favorable winds, and large
part of the steam vessels because Of the
shorter distance, fewer locks, and easier
navigation"
Besides the above facts. 1t is well
known that the Nicaragua route possesses
vastly superior typographical advantages
than Its competitor. and there is every
reason why the United States Govern
ment should do all within its power to
wards advancing so valuable an interna-
tional work. A Washington contempor-
airy attributes the psssiveness OF the
House OF Representatives on the subject
TO the pressure Brought TO bear by the
tariff and appropriation bills. These
will soon now be settled, however and
then one of the best acts which Congress
could do would be TO stamp this scheme
with its approval by promptly granting
q charter to the Maritime Canal Company
OF Nicaragua.
