not opposed 10 the canal as such, be
was opposed to the scheme Of the Mar

nouneed that company as the most
veuomous and effective opponent Of q

lieVe Il possible for that company, with
its bad odor, to construct the canal,
and he held that the Maritime company
should get out OF the way Of the gen.
uine canal enterprise. He developed
this line Of attack at length, denounc-
ing il as a scheme Of coni,scation, the
object OF the Maritime company being,
he declared, not to cut . canal, bot to

proposed. The as was not parallel
to the Pacific nilrsad companies, as in
those cases the bonds were made
directly payable to the companies. As
to the possibility Of foreign Jealousy
operating to prevent the construction
of the canal BY this government, Mr..
Turpie declared that there was no civ
Illzed nation that would not be pleased
to see the canal constructed. The
Maritime company has been guilty Of
