r.ople giving information as to the
feasibility of the Nicaragua canal and
us commercial and other advantages

sommittee is composed of John s.

Hawkins, the railroad president of

The address is supplementary to the
resolutions adopted by the ST. Louis
convention, which pointed out the ad-
vantages of the canal and urged its
construction, ownership and control
BY the American people rather than
The English, French, or any other ma
ton. II takes the position that "A

It is not a question OF high tariff or low
tariff before the people at this election.
II Is n question of protection alone.
We can have either high tariff or a
low tariff without protection. We can
have high .ariff or low tariff with
protection. Whether the tariff shall
be high or low is necessarily a ques-
ton OF revenue-not necessarily of pro-
lection.
Protection Is robbery" - and rob-
berry is theft. Protection requires a
duty, in order that a trust to control
prices may be formed in this country;
but the duty may be low or high-the
possible protection or robbery under
tie trust may be much or little.
Whether the robbery is small or great,
every cent taken is larceny under the
statute.
With the duty and without the trust
TO control prices there can be no "pro-
lection" except in the rare instances
where the foreign article must be
largely imported to supply the demand,

greater immediate advantage than the
canal in relieving the depression, and
making market for American cotton
in Japan, China and Corea, where al
ready the people are beginning to
manufacture cotton goods by machin-

WILL INCREASE AMERICAN TONNAGE.
At present the coal trade of South
America and the Pacific coast is monop-
olzed by the English. The committee
thinks that if the Nicaragua canal were
opened the Alabama and West Virginia
coal would have a decided advantage
over English competitors, not to men.
ton the enormous amounts OF coal the
canal company itself would use. At
the entrance of the Suez canal last
wear | 500. 900 tons of coal were sold.
In competition with England for
Pacific ocean trade the Nicaragua canal
would give American commerce an adj
vantage of 2,TOO miles, while, besides
the specific benefits, the committee
thinks great general benefits would ac-
cede TO the entire Mississippi valley,
the lake ports and the Atlantic coast,
Shipbuilding and the shipping interests
in New England will receive new i'm
pe:us. A new coasting trade will
spring up and American tonnage on
the high seas will largely increase.
The committee says that great trans
atlantic powers are looking with COW
etous eyes toward the Nicaragua prof.
ect and that foreign governments would
very cheerfully and eagerly embrace an
opportunity TO take advantage OF the
enterprise with unlimited capital and
prompt energy, but it conceives it to be
the patriotic and political privilege OF
the United States To complete the ca
nal. The commercial and naval SUI
premacy of the nation which might Sc
cure control of the canal demands i'm
peratively that its control should not
pass away from the people of the United
States 1t is made plain that two neets
would be required TO block an Amer

IN 1871 was over 1900, 900 tons. and 40
per cent. of the wheat was exported NV
sailing vessels and large proportion
OF IT passed around the Horn. The
nicaragua canal by shortening the
route to Atlantic ports would not only
save the producer cost of freight. hut
the revenue of the canal at 81 per ton
toll would be nearly So, 600, 900 on
wheat alone. II is shown that there
are 5OO,OO0,00) thousand feet of mer-
chantable timber in Washington and
oregon, TO the value of which over 81
per thousand feet would be added by
cheap water transportion via the Mic
aragua canal. The gross addition to
the value would amount TO the enor-
nous sum of 81, 900, 900, 900, even at this
low estimate of 81 additional. The
fruit industry Of California would
quadruple in two years from the OPEN
ing of the canal for business.
and fast refrigerator steamers would
deliver fruit from California to
New York in ten DAYS, to
Liverpool in fourteen days, and

mountains of the Pacific coast are rich
in lead, copper. silver, and gold, while
the plateaus and valleys afford cereal
belt with soil more durable, and
more favorable seasons for seeding and
harvesting than any part of the world,
and the committee thinks the compile
ton of the Nicaragua canal is only
needed to develop that country to pro-
duction of gigantic proportions and
double the population of the Pacific
coast in few years. The cotton-grow-
ing sections of the gulf states have I'M

pass through after its opening, is over

this would be $4,000, 900 in tolls. The
cost of operation and maintenance is
placed at less than 81, 900, 900, and q, OO0,
900 tons would show a net income of
ST., 900, 900 per annum. The committee
is confident that within five years the
income will be over $40, 100000
WHO SHALL BUILD AND CONTROL?
The committee says it is no longer a
question whether the canal will be
built or not. The only question is as
to who shall build it, and who shall
control it when built? 1t says it has
been informed that European syndi-
Gates have already made overtures to
the canal company, but the committee
believes the United States cannot af-
ford by carelessness, hesitation or
neglect TO permit an enterprise OF such
magnitude and of such far-reaching adj
vantage TO pass under the control Of
any, foreign company. ut therefore
behooves u.s." the address concludes,

WELD and of the greater influence we
may exert upon the destinies of this
continent, to perform the duties with
out delay which we deny other nations
the privilege of assuming, and TO adopt
now the best means of securing the
early completion of this work, whose
advantages we are willing TO share
with the world, but whose control
should never be allowed to pass out OF
our hands"
