Nicaragua Canal.

Joseph Nimmo, Jr., formerly Chief of
the Bureau of Statistics, publishes a
pamphlet on the subject of the Mica
ragua Canal, which ought to gain some
attention in Congress. He says, first,
that there has never been any investi-
cation made by a committee of Con-
gress, nor by the executive branch of
the Government, in pursuance of any
order of Congress, for the purpose of
ascertaining the amount of tonnage
which would annually pass through the
proposed Nicaragua Canal"
Mr.. Nimmo estimates the whole
amount of shipping passing through
the isthmus at not more than 500, 600
tons annually. In the year 1890 he says
that the Nicaragua Canal Company
asked the New York Chamber of Com
merce to fndorse their project on the
basis of a statement that their traffic
would be 100000 to 100000 tons an
nually. In making up their prospec-
tus,'' he says, 1.-The Nicaragua Canal
Company appears to have divided the
cost of their project by two and to have
multiplied the tonnage likely to pass
through by twenty
Other objections cited by Mr.. Nimmo
are that all fast freight and nearly all
passenger traffic between the Atlantic
and the Pacific coasts of America must
continue to go by rail; that none of the
commerce of Europe with Asia will
seek the Nicaragua route, since the dis
tance is greater than via Suez and
finally, that "a fair investigation of
the supposed political and military as
poets of the Nicaragua Canal scheme
will prove that it is of very small i'm
portance from these points of view
Accordingly Mr.. Nimmo proposes that
before the Government is committed in
any way to extend pecuniary aid by
lending its money or its credit to the
Nicaragua Canal ii shall order an inves-
tigation embracing the whole question
of traffic and cost, set forth in detail,
so that the figures can be tested by sta
tisticians and engineers.
This is surely a reasonable request,
but Congress is laboring under emo
tional insanity to such a degree that
nothing which looks like deliberation,
if it relates to foreign affairs, has much
chance of success.-New York Evening
Post
