tons; in 1871, 100000 tons; In 1872, 1,100,y
600 tons, and there has been a fairly
steady increase ever since, up to the
amount in 1895. During all this time the
volume OF the worlds commerce has stead
lily increased. Not only has trade more
and more adjusted itself to the Suez route,
but also the aggregate amount Of trade
has become much larger. Some allowance
should be made for the advantages pos
sessed by the Suez canal as a now we'll
established route. Taking its business
eight years ago may be fair Offset for
this item. The amount for 1883 exceeded
100000 tons. The earlier Suez tolls were
$2.77 per ton, which have been gradual
ly reduced the past twenty years, and
traffic Is not prepared now to stand heavy
charges In any direction. a moderate
tariff will be in every way desirable. A
favorable, but approximate, estimate Of
the possible revenues In Nicaragua would
be as follows: With tolls at $1.50 per ton
at the outset, and a business Of at least
100000 tons after the canal is fairly in
operation, gross income OF $0,000,000
would be obtained. Administration, main
tenance aud operation for 1895 cost the
Suez canal about 81 100000. Taking into
account all the dam and cmbankment
work at Nicaragua, as well as the heavy
rainfall, an allowance OF 100000 as an
annual average for expenses may be fair,
leaving net income OF $0,000,00O. An
undertaking Of this character Is to be
gone into only as a long-term investment,
and the earnings for the first few years
after 1t is completed are not to be consid-
cred as sufficient for final judgment. The
greatest earnings will come later on.

the walters wear a suit of German

article imported from the United States

demand is there, but we have carelessly,
almost good-naturedy, made no effort to

"In building up foreign trade our nat
ural course will be to begin with the coun-
tries where we shall meet least competi-
ton. In order to be profitable, trade re-
quires to move along the lines Of least
resistance. Our geographical situation is
such that w are the natural producers
for all countries bordering on the Pacific
ocean. The relative distance of European
manufacturers, as compared with our
own, gives us a great advantage. The
idea of trying to sell much of our products
to China and Japan is new to our people
but those countries are entering on a ca
reer of great development, and why should
not the American people have share in
supplying their wants? The trade reports
tell the story Of their awakening. The
purchases Of their silver were:

TolstoI's Colonies.

Tolstol colonies are Increasing In

together, having constructed their own
houses and their own furniture; there
Is nothing new in this. the tale has been

the arrangement OF the mutual dining.

soup--ls shared among six persons,
each dipping into the same dish, but
having the right Of personal property
In the matter of wooden spoon and

diyiduaL Thus the six consumers get
fair start and then they are all of
together. But one would have thought
this a fatal arrangement Age, teeth
and digestion are sadly unequal. What
Is there to prevent the venerable grand
mother from being left hopelessly be-
hind by Ivan the Terrible, her youth
full grandson, who treats the whole
course as a point-to-polnt race, and so
shows forth the eternal inequality of
things? 1t is added that there Is n
beautiful simplicity and decency In
these repasts, and that there are three
napkins to each symposium. Thus we
have six consumers to one bowl and
three napkins to six consumers. But

S243, ,O00, 900 in 1894, we supplied only

ever, taking $25,000,000 Of her products.
Our diplomatic agents report that with
more alertness and enterprise we could
have furnished to Japan, and at a reason
able profit, 60 per cent of all her foreign
purchases in 1894. One reason why the
people Of our gulf States are 70 unani-
nous for a canal in Nicaragua, is that it
will open an additional market for their
cotton. The United States Is the chief
producer Of the worlds cotton, and prices
for this product have been deplorably low
Of late years, entailing great priyations in
many Southern homes. 1t is the old story.
We have been producing more cotton than
we could find markets for. The new buy
er Of cotton Is Japan. That country is
going strongly into the manufacture Of
cotton goods, such as are used by the peo-
pie of the warm countries, and now not
only exports these goods to China, but
undersells the English manufacturers In
their own dependency Of India"
Favors Government Ownership.
Mr.. Sheldon takes strong ground In IA
vor Of absolute ownership and control Of
Government. Congress could prescribe
the tolls to be paid by ships using the
canal, making the charges sufficient to
meet the expenses Of operation and suit
able interest on the capital invested in the
undertaking and also, II considered advis-
able, for an annual payment into sink
ing fund, to meet, at maturity, any Gov
ernment bonds which might have been
| issued.
"As commerce increased, the tolls could
be lowered, and any other reduction in
! favor Of American ships, found desirable
