Importance Of the Nicaragua Canal 10 Amer.
ican Commerce.

In recent article in the Engineering
Magazine Hon. Warner Miller, president of
Nicaragua Canal Construction Company
gives the following as among a number of
important reasons Why this great waterway
should be built, its great advantage to the
commerce of the United States, in restoring
to it the competitive equality which was de-
stroyed by the opening of the Sucz canal.
and-even more than this--in giving to it
material advantages of distance. Until the
opening Of the Suez canal New York
WAS substantially rs near TO China and ia
pan rs was Liverpool. but the opening of
the Suex canal made Liverpool practically
400 miles nearer than New York. With
the opening of the Nicaragua canal, New
York will be once more as near by available
routes ~ Liverpool to China, nearer by
1000 miles TO Australia. 1000 miles nearer
to Japan and 21oo miles nearer TO the ports
OF the Pacific coast of South America,
which are now practically as
near TO Liverpool as they are to
New York. The advantage Of the Gulf
ports Of the United States over Liverpool
or any European Port will be greater by
700 miles than that of New York, inasmuch
a. they are that much nearer the eastern
port Of the canal.
THE opening of the Nicaragua Canal
will provide gateway and direct route
between the Atlantic and Pacific for the
commerce of the world. but especially for
the commerce of the United States. The
wheat fleets which now annually take their
long and stormy voyage around Cape Horn
from California. Oregon and Washington
to the markets of Europe will snd their route
shortened by one-half the distance and ex-
empt from more than one half its perils hard
ships and discomforts. The same advantages,
though in lesser proportion, will be realized
by European trade with the Pacific ports of
South America, with Australia, New Yea
land and with the islands of Australia ard
the Pacific ocean. The canal will make
saving in distances traversed between ports,
q regards Europe, of from ! 900 to 5000
miles; Is regards the eastern ports of the
United States, from 5000 to lo.7oO.
.'until the Nicaragua Canal is opened
America must continue almost all her in

crops of grain were seen, but there was
not much wheat in sight. This was en-
planned by Mr.. Robertson at Sun River,
who said that the farmers had made up
their minds not to plant wheat until the
mill was really built. AS this is now
done it is believed an immense acreage
of wheat will be put in the coming sea-
son. After dinner at the hotel the re-
turn trip was begun. All admitted that
they had never seen such splendid crops
of timothy as were being harvested along
several miles Of the road. Thriving and
beautifully kept farms are the rule, The
