secure our share of this commerce:
"The Suez canal was opened in 1870.
Before that New York was almost as
near the Orient as Liverpool was. but
after that Liverpool had the advantage
by from three to four thousand miles.
From 1870 to 1855 Eugland's commerce
with the East increased 40 per cent,
with the rest of the world only II.
Shortened routes and lessened freight
charges had their legitimate results.
our government should construct the
Nicaragua canal or some other 18TH
man water route at the earliest possi-
BILE time, making it neutral to the world
except to any nation at war with us.
This would bring us one days sail
nearer Shanghai than Liverpool will
be; on the average a thousand miles
nearer all the northern ports of China,
where we now look for an export trade.
and shall hereafter; 1,S00 miles nearer
Yokohama, 1000 miles nearer Corea,
1000 miles nearer Melbourne. 1,S00 miles
nearer Sydney, $500 miles nearer New
Zealand; from 5000 to 5000 miles near
er New Zealand; from 5000 to 5000
miles nearer to the western coast of
South America; would bring us 1000 to
5000 miles nearer peoples whose i'm
ports last year amounted to $1.12O,OO0,-
900. I am silent ~ to the magnificent
advantage such route promises to our
domestic trade. bringing this city 10000
miles nearer by water to San Francis
co, the Columbia river and Puget
sound, shortening the time by steam
from forty to twenty days, by sail from
120 to So, and reducing freight rates at
least one-third."
THE more l see of this world" Sena-
tor Frye remarked In the course of this
speech, "thc more l am delighted with
this republic" 1t certainly has before
it a magnificent prospect which can be
fully realized if its citizens are true and
its statesmen wise.
