Indications Point to an EARLY Conn
pletion of the Waterway.
The publication Of the new Hay.
Pauncefote treaty is quickly followed
by the protocol for new treaty With
Nicaragua, and it goes without saying
that both are eminently satisfactory
to the great masses Of the American
people. In the Hay-Pauncefote treaty
Great Britain comedies practically ev-
cry point that was demanded by the
senate when the old treaty fell
through, and it marks the final passing
Of Clayton's colossal blunder.
The protocol for the new treaty with
Nicaragua gives to the United States
government even broader rights than
the Nicaraguan government had ever
conceded to private companies before.
Indeed. the lapsing of the old conces.
sions proves to be a most fortunate
thing for the government, since 1t
saves 1t the tremendous sums asked by
the Maritime Canal company for it's
rights" The new treaty covers the
route marked out by the canal commits
sion. whose report was submitted to
congress few days ago.
The senate will doubtless be ready
to take up and dispose of the Nicara
guam treaty as soon as the final draft
is completed. If all goes we'll. we
should be ready to begin work on the
canal before another year passes, and
it happens that the United States
treasury is overburdened with surplus
funds that may be used to most excel
lent purpose in prosecuting the work
to an early completion.

Of treaties requiring the ratification or
the senate. what Mr.. Carnegie says
Of making enemies Of the nations with
which no treaties are negotiated while
negotiating them with others Is true.
but is Of less consequence than he
seems to attribute to such hostile feel
ings. II we were anxious to make
Europe and all the rest OF the world
regard us with kindly feeling we might
adopt the tariff policy Of Great Britain.
That policy, however, has not made
all the nations its friends. as it must
be admitted that Great Britain Is very
generally disliked by European ma
tons. One rule that should obtain in
such treaties is that reciprocal treaty
Is illogical when made SO as to give
foreign competitor advantage in our
markets when we are able to supply
the home demand.
Care should be taken in what is done
In a reciprocal way not to interfere
with the prosperity Of well establish
ed industry capable of supplying the
home market abundantly. The pros
porous condition of the country today
Is due chiefly to the fact that all de-
scriptions Of labor are fully employed
ut the highest wages ever known. 1t
IL this condition and the prosperity Of
the farmer that give the American
people money with which to purchase
the products of our own factories and
farms. Cripple any Of these leading
industries so that factories shall be
closed or wages reduced, and blow
will be struck at the prosperity which
exists in this land and not elsewhere
in the world. The home market Is the
market for nine-tenths Of our products.
and it must not be sacrificed In the
hope of selling more goods In the
worlds markets. True reciprocity
does not involve such sacrifice. 1t Is
not reciprocity to admit French and
German wooden and worsted hosiery
or foreign glass when our own labor
and capital can supply the home de-
mand.-Indianapoli Journal.
