The Lesson Of Suez.

Those who worry lest the construc-
ton Of the Panama canal be a financial
failure for the United States govern
ment will find encouragement in the
latest figures of the profits Of the Suez
canal When this latter waterway was
constructed there was no lack of ex-
perts who said that it would never be
made to pay. Many protested, 40 years
ago. that it would not only never be
able to pay dividends. but would not
even pay its operating expenses. At
the present time its profits are SO enor-
nous that the company is once more
compelled to reduce tolls in order t.
keep the dividends within legal bounds.
Last years dividend was 2S.2 per cent.
and the dividend for the year before
was 26 per cent. on each share. A few
years ago tolls were reduced from
nine to eight and one half francs a ton,
but the profits have kept on increasing.
pushing the dividends PAST the Is per
cent limit allowed py law. SO that an
other reduction is nov necessary. Ii
Is predicted that before many years the
toll will be no more than five francs
per ton.
1t was only after many misgivings. 30
years ago. that the British government
was persuaded to buy the shares hell
by the Egyptian government. Leading
government officials were opposed to it,
but were finally won over through the
fact that most of the shares. apart
from those held by Egypt. were own I'd
In France, and as IS or 90 per cent OF
the traffic through the canal was Brit
i5h, the British government did not
fancy the payment Of tolls into French
pockets. So the shares were bought of
Egypt. and although only $4,000. 900
was paid for them at that time. 30
years ago, they are now worth $14O.-
900. 900.

be made to pay. These same things
were said Of Suez generation ago. but
for many years that canal has not paid
smaller profit than Is per cent annu-
ally. There are greater possibilities Of
profit at Panama than ever there were
at Suex. The many millions which are
being spent in the construction of the
long wanted waterway across the
isthmus will prove one of the best in
vestments which Uncle Sam ever
made, as we'll as one Of the best things
aver done to facilitate the commerce Of

In a recent address United States
Treasurer Roberts gives some figures
concerning the wealth of the country
which are good reading to all save
BRYAN and other lovers of calamity.
According to Treasurer Roberts 1.-The
grand sum OF money in circulation
has advanced within five years-next
before. December 81, 1sO4-from $1,000, =
'b25, 4s3 to $2.57S. 006. eS6. or by $517.431.-
223, the equivalent of S103, 100000 every
twelve months. carrying the ratio from
1858 to Bios. The increase in circula-
ton has been in every class of currency
fave Treasury notes. which have been
merged in silver certificates. The
stock Of gold has been increased
in the five years in the enor-
nous sum of $317.5O2.275. or at tire
rate Of $63.50O.OO0 in each year. In
1890 the stock of gold held by the
United States was 1863 per cent. Of the
total stock of the world. which was
S3,9O1, 100000. Ten years later the
stock Of the gold OF the United States
was II per cent. out of the worlds total
stock of 1884, 100000. At the close Of
1904 the United States held 23.2 per
cent of a total stock Of $685.. 700, 900.
and the stock Of the United States was
III, the vaults Of the nation and the
banks. and in the pockets Of the peo-
pie" The figures show that the United
States held. approximately. one sixth Of
the total gold stock Of the world In
1890. one. fifth In 1900. and a fraction
less than one fourth In 1904.

| is of interest because it reads like
truth. The incidents related are SO
| commonplace and SO matter-Of-fa
that it requires no imagination to be-
lieve them. The lesson Of the story Is
especially valuable to the young man
| because it shows how success can be
achieved by work ond struggle without
| the entrance at any point of the factor
| of luck or chance.
Harrington, the American who sue

| the plain signposts of success. He
| worked diligently. enthusiastically in
| every position that he held fron deliv-
| cry boy in a meat market to the top of
the packing-house ladder. In addition
| to this, he saved money out of every
salary that he received. Even at the

came into contact. But even with
these virtues, his success was not me-
teoric. He rose only by slow and Ia
horious degrees. Every additional
prize was wrested from the world with
effort: every step upward represented
toll. Harrington won because he ur-
1erstood his business and because he
never relaxed his efforts. He won the
fight because he fought intelligently
and valiantly.
The point in. this story that should
especially impress itself upon the
youth is the fact that from first, frOEl
the tine when he walked the streets Of
Chicago without a roof and withC ut the
price of a meal. Harrington never
doubted his ability to succeed, never
lost his determination to win wealth.
1t is this fixed purpose that tells for
success. Pretty nearly anything that
strong man determines to secure he
can get if his determination ana effort
never flag. 1t is the serious perscver-
ance of purpose that ia the chief char
acteristic of the japanese peop:e. 1t il
this that has stood for much of their
success in war and peace.
The youth who starts in determined
to succeed, confident that he can and
will succeed and who never rclaxes ef-
fort FOR an instant, will, like Harring-
ton in the story referred to, land at the
top.
