WANT TO OWN THE SHIP CANAL.
Proposition of San Bias Promoters Is
Heard.

Washington Jan. 1.-THE sub-com-
miitee appointed to hear the represen-
tations in behalf Of the several canal
PROJECTS met during the afternoon for
the purpose Of interrOgating reports of
the american Isthmian Ship Canal
company. Those who spoke for this
company were General Edward w
Se-rel, consulting engineer; II. IT. Ad-
ans, a stakeholder, and Theodore
Schroeder, counsel. They control the
Darien route, also designated as the
San Bias route.
They claim to be able to secure u
canal at sea level which viii be only
thirty miles in length from ocean to
ocean. Their route extends from Mon
dagO harbOr 10 Pearl island. and IS
based on surveyHs made first by Profess
sor Hopkins in 1870 and afterward by
Messsrs- McDoUgal, Sweet, Forman and
Rude
Their plan is TO run a tunnel for five
miles, this tunnol to be POP feet in the
clear and with water thirty-five feet
deep. The shiDs would be drawn
through the canal by an electric trolley
lile- Il was STATED by the witnesses
that they had secured estimates which
convinced them that the tunnel work
could be done at a cost not exceeding
81 cents per cubic yard, and they esti-
matvd that the entire canal could be
constructed at an aggregate cost of
from S35, 000,0 GOO to 500 100000.
They said that the granite in that
section is perfectly sound, and added
that in case there would be places
where it would be found not to be so
the wall could be lined.
The witnesses estimated that the
tunnel could be completed in three
ye ars' time.
When asked to make a proposition to
the government they declined to do so,
but said that within three years they
would be able to state the terms under
which they would allow the canal to
be constructed by this route. These
terms they thought would be that they
should retain the ownership of the
canal and that the government of the
United States should agree to pay 80
per cent of the cost of construction,
payments to begin when $4,000, 900 of
of work shall have been completed, and
other payments to be MADE each time
that $4,000. 900 worth of work is done.

This, say the Cubans, leaves from
l536.954 to 1.6S6,954 tons as a margin
between home production and consump-
ton. and consumption which must be
supplied from foreign sources. Thas
amount Of foreign sugar must enter
the United States over the tariff. That
margin, if foreign Importation, consti-
tutes the actual protection to the
American sugar industry. Until that
margin of foreign importation is ex-
hausted the American industry is ful-
ly protected. The sugar crop of Cuba
has never exceeded 100000 tons in its
best years.

Forty Beet Sugar Factories.

There are forty beet sugar factories
in operation in different states of the
Union today about half of which have
been built during the last few years.
Thirteen of these factories were built
IN one state-Michigan- the last
three years. Thereby il ,can be seen
how fast the industry would grow If
the tariff on sugar be left undisturbed.
The growing Of beets is TO a great ex-
tent question Of hand labor and Will
always be. This hand labor cannot be
procured in unlimited Numbers. where
fore it is impossible to carry on beet
culture on a large scale by single indi-
vi1uals or corporations and mOnopolize
the business Of manufacturing beet
sugar thereby. For this reason the
beet sugar factories of the United
States viii always be dependent for
their supply of raw material upon the
farmers OF the surrounding country.
The beet sugar industry is therefore
decidedly an agricultural industry. and
the direct and indirect benefits derived
therefrOm and accrUing to the country
at large are so many. that if once de-
veloped to the extent of supplying our
home market, the benefits TO our com
merce and industry from our colonial
acquisitions viii appear small in COM
parison with il. But for the present
it is a question of beets with the al
ready established factories. and those
yet 10 be established, and not a ques-
ton of how cheaply beet sugar may be
manufactured.
in discussing this question with the
representative Of The Herald, prom
inent beet sugar manufacturer said:
We are under no obligations 10 Gu
ba, but. on the contrary. incurred a
heavy war debt in her behalf Would
it not be asking q little too much that
we should sacrifice a promising home
industry simply to benefit a few plant
ers and stockholders in the sugar trust
who are already rich enough, but seem
to be willing TO grow still richer and If
beet sugar manufacturing is TO be en-
eourag ed, it is the duty of congress to
maintain at least for few years the
present Dingley rates on all sugar,
both raw and refined, entering the
United States"
