THE NICARAGUAN CANAL

Ore almost certain outcome Of the war
will be the speedy construction of the
Nicaraguan canal. Submitted to a pop
ular vote, the preponderating sentiment
of the people would undoubtedly be in
favor of it's construction and absolute
control by the government. Already con-
gress is being urged, by the press and
commercial bodies, to hasten action upon
the matter, and only yesterday Senator
Morgan secured, without any opposition
whatever, the adoption Of a resolution
instructing the select committee on the
canal to inquire into the claims of the
Nicaraguan republic relating to the stock
or securities of the Maritime Canal COM
pany, under the concessions to it, and
as to any demands of said republic con-
nected with said claims. Some months
ago the president of the republic, in an
interview that bore some evidences of
authenticity, intimated that the Maritime
Canal company had forfeited it's fran
ohises, or at least that the government
Of that country so held, and further that
no serious obstacles would be imposed
to the undertaking Of the work by the
United States. The Morgan resolution

BYRON AND SPAIN

Here all were noble save nobility,
None Rugged a conqueror's chain save
fallen chivalry.
Such be the sons of Spain, and strange the
fate
They fight for freedom who were never
free!
Her vassals combat when their chieftains
True to the veriest slave of treachery,
Fond of the land which gave them naught
but life,
Pride points the path that leads to liberty
Back to the struggle, baffled in the strife
War, war, is still the cry-war even to the
knife!
Ye who would more of Spain and spaniards
know,
Go read whereer is writ of bloodiest
strife,
Whateer keen vengeance urged on foreign
foe
Can act is acting there against mans life
From flashing scmiter to secret knife.
War mouldeth there each weapon to his
need,
So he may guard the sister and the wife.
SO may he make each curst oppressor
bleed,
So may such foes deserve the most re.
morseless deed!
Flows there tear of pity for the dead?
Look Ger the ravage of the reekng plain.

slain
Then to the vulture let each corpse re.

arce to himself and the country.
A victory over the gold standard would
assuredly bring numerous other reforms,

gold alone is lawful money If any Demo-

stamps is that they are counted au-

of postmasters. These officials are re-

A Platform

To the Editor of the Los Angeles Herald.
There seems to be some difficulty in finding
a platform on which Democrats, Populists
and free coinage Republicans can all stand
This difficulty, l think, can be overcome
Discard all distracting issues, let the main
plank of the platform be a resolve to put
down the gold standard and make the fight
on that
The reason will give The one great ain,
Of the common enemy, the Republican par
ty is to protect and render more secure the
gold standard. In opposition to this every
Industrious citizen is vitality interested. An
issue upon the gold standard could not be
evaded by the money changers, as can al
most any other issue, and as were the main
issues in the last presidential campaign.
The Republican party will go to any
lengths to avoid a direct issue upon this
question, and they will most certainly dodge
Nit If the people are foolish enough to permit
them to do so.
The magnitude of this issue has never

is doubtless intended to get at the real
facts and the true status Of affairs, in
anticipation of the demand for govern
mental action, once the war is ended
that congress may proceed with intelii-
gence.
The latest survey of the field, made
by the people who have constructed the
Chicago drainage canal, gives encourage
ment that the canal can be built for
little more than half the estimates OF
former surveys, a circumstance that has
contributed largely to the prospects OF
the works being undertaken by the gov
eminent, or under governmental supervi-
sion and control.

LESSONS OF THE LOAN

Despite the doleful prophecies of ultra
conservative financiers of the Sherman
Gage school, the attempt to place the
new war loan among the people promises
to be eminently successful. Indeed, there
Is every indication that the entire issue
will be absorbed by individual subscrib-
ers in amounts limited to $500, thus ex
tending the benefits to nearly half mil
lion Of PEOPLE and insuring the distribu-
ton annually of six millions of dollars
interest amongst the great producing
classes. Treasury Officials appear to be
endeavoring to carry out in good faith
the spirit of the law, to the end that the
first effort to popularize national loan
may have fair trial.
Our dispatches indicate that a few
eastern banks have lent their machinery
to schemers to circumvent the law, but
it is said that all lists of subscribers dis
closing a faint of fraud or deception are
promptly turned dowr, or handed over
to special agents of the department for
investigation. 1t is scarcely conceivable
that any reputable banking institution
would compromise itself in this way, al
though the charge is officially made
The placing of 5000, 900, 900 of bonds with
the people will cost the government, in
all probability, round million of dollars,
| plus the expense attending the allotment
and distribution. for it is more than likely
that the entire amount Of the issue could
have been placed at a small premium
with two or three syndicates, without en-
failing any expense whatever.
But it is worth something to know
that the great masses of the thrifty peo-
pie Of the country men and women of
limited incomes and meager accumula-
lions, have the fullest confidence in the
financial integrity of their government,
and are willing to hazard their all upon
its promises to return the advances made
More valuable still is the lesson which
the success of this experiment teaches
that the dependence of the treasury upon
the brotherhood of bankers is not so real
or essential as it has been made to APP
pear. 1t will have been demonstrated
that all probabl needs of the govern
ment, even in war times, can be secured
without the assistance of Wall street, for
If $2Q00G0,C00 be oversubscribed in fort
night, in sums of $500, it is fair to as
sumo that many times that amount can
be placed in smaller sums when the
masses come to fully understand the
ease AMI simplicity with which they
may loan their small savings to the gov
ernment, albeit this element of the pop
ulation will never lack confidence in the
ultimate redemption of whatever form of
paper the government may utter.
Another important fact has been dem
onstrated, despite the declarations of al
legged financiers: promise to redeem in
gold is not essential to the success of
large loan at a low rate of interest. The
fact that controllers of large amounts of
money are willing to pay premium for
the per cent bonds would seem to offer
some assurance that 21s per cent loan
might be placed in this country without
much difficulty.
