SATURDAY EVENING MARCH II, 1900

Mr.. HUNTINGTON, the great railroad
magnate, as most all other intelligent
Americans are, is opposed to the Mica
raguan canal scheme, and says 1T Will
be a failure, no matter how much money
may be wasted 10 its construction. -
With a much shorter and partially con
structed canal little farther down the
coast free to all nations, and to be dug
without the cost of cent to this gov
eminent and while an expensive COM
mission ia now engaged in examining IT,
WHY Mr.. Mckinley, before that COM
mission has made its report, should
waot to force the already tax-ridden
neople of this country to spend hun
dreds of millions of dollars on canal
through foreign country, at neither
end of which is there natural harbor,
and the construction and defense Of
which will almost necessarily involve
this government in international compii
cations, is one of the many questions
which Mr.. Mckinley can answer bet
ter than anybody else.
