1t is a matter of considerable respon-
sibility which weighs upon the Cabinet
when it comes to considering the
claims of rivals in commercial business.
1t is evident that the law never meant
that there should be indiscrminate
leave for forming corporations. Under
certain circumstances the leave grant
ed, in one case, would be entirely
worthless if exactly similar leave be
granted to another.
Competition is a good thing, but UNI
der certain circumstances it Is a serious
injury to a state or territory. The re-
suits of competing monopoles is fire.
quently to throw the burden upon the
shoulders of the people Huntington
says that when he has to buy Compel
ing bit of railway, it is not he who
pays for it, it is the people who do for
once the railway is bought up the cost
has to be made up by his line, and that
comes out of the peoples pockets. The
Cabinet in granting charters should
carefully consider whether at any time
they may not bring just this kind of
thing about and whether their own
carelessness may not work an injury
upon the people. whose stewards they
are. There. is room for grave thought
in such matters, and not only room but
absolute necessity.
Moreover the Cabinet should particu-
larly consider it's own people in such
matters. AS the world grows older, the
more it sees the necessity of looking af-
ter it's own. AS long as our own people
can perform the work and carry out
the enterprises proposed, it is they that
should have the first show, and having
that, it is they that should be protected
and fostered in the conduct of their en-
terprise. Depend upon it your own peo-
pie will serve you far better than
strangers. This has not been a motto
much adhered to, but it is one which
it is well worth learning and taking
we'll to heart 1t is never too late to
mend, even if there have been previous
mistakes.

SHIP CANALS.

The canal which at one time was the
most important artery of commerce re-
ceived a severe blow upon the intro
duction of the locomotive, and some
people thought it had received it's
death blow. But even in it's old form
the canal still is a factor in inland COM
merce, while in the form of the ship
canal it has possibilities which are
world reaching.
The first of the ship canals is the
Suez. That has been perfectly Won
der working in it's means for giving
ready access by water from Europe to
the Orient, avoiding the long and weary
voyage around the Cape of Good Hope.
The proposed canals at either Pana-
ma or Nicaragua are still uncertain,
but one or other of them will one of
these days give quick access from the
Atlantic to the Pacific and make a
wonderful change in the tide of COM
merce. We think the Pacific has awak-
ened wonderfully in the last few years,
what will it be when the continent is
pierced. 1t is an old dream, that of
uniting the two oceans Saavedra, the
hardy Spanish voyager dreamt it over
three hundred years ago. But it is like
ly to be realized soon.
In Europe according to a recent arti-
ing Magazine there are four ship canals
which are more or less likely to be
completed, and one in the United
States. The following is the list:
l. The Bruges canal, now nearing
completion. 1t is to be 71a miles long,
port works at Heyst, on the sea coast,
and at Bruges, 100000.
2. The Brussels canal, to connect the
Scheldt with Brussels and to make ii
maritime port of that city. This canal
will be 16 miles long and 10 2-3 feet
deep, so that vessels of 1000 tons may
reach Brussels. Its estimated cost is
81, 600, 600.
3. The Berlin ship canal, to convert
Berlin into seaport, with depth of %
feet and average cost of $50, 600, 900.
4. The Baltic-Black sea canal, 1000
miles long, 2S feet deep; cost estimated
at 100000; very doubtful.
8. The Massachusetts maritime canal
Cape Cod, connecting the waters of
Long Island Sound and adjacent waters
with Massachusetts bay; length, IA
miles; estimated cost, $4,000, 900.
We are only of course interested in
the ship canals through the Western
continent, but the fact that ship canals
are being operated elsewhere with sue
cess, will add to the likelihood of our
getting what we want. The more ca
nails made, the more there will be made,
therefore the better for Nicaragua or
Panama. 1t is well therefore for us 10
be informed as to canal doings else
where.
