Congressional Record reference to the
Ice trust when the legislation for trusts
was under discussion In Washington
last June. 1t is characteristic that. as
tne New York attorney general Da-
Vles) says, the prosecution of the ice
trust has met with "stays and appeals.
and In short, every legal technicality
mas been invoked on the part of the
combination that the ingenuity of
counsel for the defense could devise"
Effect of Trusts on Wages.
Mr. Bryan, in his recent speech at
st. Louis and in his letter of accent.
ance, dropped his paramount" i'm.
perialistic issue altogether and put the
trusts issue in its place. According to
him. the trusts are guilty of almost as
many crimes against society as he
charged against the gold standard in
1896, before four years of prosperity
under it had silenced him. Let us an
ply the simple test of few figures
In this connection. Let us see what eff.
tect the enterprises indiscriminately
called trusts by Mr.. Bryan have had
on wages and on the course of prices.
The following official table, prepared
by the labor organizations themselves.
shows the increase of wages in various
employments since 1896:

Mr.. H. Myers of New Orleans in a
letter to Republican headquarters
makes the following suggestion:
Reading of Mr.. Bryan's contention
in his canvass that there should be no
government without the consent of the
governed, it is obvious that the south
ern states when they seeded in 1861
should have been granted their indie
pendence, according to Mr.. Bryan's ar
gument.
1T occurs to me that If Mr.. Bryan is
elected president and any of the states
desire their independence from the
United States government he will be
obliged, according to his argument, tC
grant such independence and thereby
threaten to destroy the integrity of oui
nation and probably cause another
civil war"

Most, if not all. of these employ

tions called trusts, good. bad and in
different, and it is certainly evident
wages, to say the least. Now, let us

upon the farmers, which Mr.. Bryan Is

Commission Has Discovered a Tide
water Level Line,
STARTLING INFORMATION.
IL VIII Probably Have Serious Eis
feet on the Nicaragua Prop
ositiOn.

New York, June 23.-ln a letter to a
personal friend, at BeIlefonte, Pa. Or.
G.. Il. Wlcke5 formerly physician at
Bellyue hospital, New York, and at
present surgeon Of the Nicaragua canal
commission, conveys an idea OF the re-
suits which may be expected Of the
work Of the commission. Or. Wickes
gives the interesting and startling IN
formation that the commission has dis
covered a tide water level route for a
canal across the lsthmus The letter
also shows some Of the hardships and
dangers which the commission encount-
cred. il was written from Lasardi.
Caledonia bay. and In part says.
Here we have found what we all
have vainly sought for weeks and
weeks, practical route Tor a tide level
canal. We have found low enough
gaps in the dividing ridge. from time
To time, with a steep approach on the
Atlantic slope, making a cut a prac-
Teal possibility, but disappointment
has always awaited us on the other
side. But, IN the last week, we have
found gap 800 feet high, a little too
high. perhaps but not beyond the
science of modern engineering. and
when / tell you this. every fact against
the route has been enumerated. From
the summit OF this gap IN the divide
both the Atlantic and Pacific slopes go
down precipiiately, especially the lat
ter which has heretofore been our
stumbling block great wide valley
stretches out straight toward the Pas
cilc ocean. which can be seen in the
distance. The Atlantic Is near and in
plain sight. Here a tidewater canal,
the dream OF an 'canallsts can be
built with a perfect harbor on each
would protect IFS mouth. and on the
other side San Miguel bay Is a perfect
site, The officers OF the Scorpion say
that the Lasardi harbor alone makes
this route worth $50 600 900 more than
any otherThe damming OF rivers which
would otherwise flood the canal Is a
problem OF every route. The only thing
10 be said against this route is the high
cut Of 500 feet.
"Of course Congress may not accept
the report of the commission but IL re-
mains an ndispumble fact that this is
par excellence the future route for a
trans-continental canal route. II really
seems possible that We have rebound
selfrdges Californian route, discovered
during the three years work here in
the early seventies"
The route suggested from Caledonia
bay TO the Gulf of San Miguel lies
about 1870 niles east Of the old Panama
Colon route, The proposed line would
connect the Gulf Of Darien and the
Bay Of Panama. AT that place the
Isthmus Of Darien is about thlrty-fye
