is DENISON SATISFIED?
The Evidence Is CONFERENCE.-The
Testimony Open to investigation.

Before a statement can be accepted
here, it must be supported by local
testmony-by the evidence of some
one residing in Denison. Statements
from unknown people in remote places
may be true, but We cannot prove
them true. Here is a statement by a
Denison resident:

Others of my family have procured
Doan's Kidney Pills from the Lamborn
Drug company and whenever this rem

Mr.. Reihman is only one of many
Denison people who have gratefully
endorsed Doan's Kidney Pills. If your

A drinking mans home is always an

The excessive drinker is not toler-

becomes known that business man
is drinking regularly investigation
starts, and the confidence of business
associates, acquaintance and the gen

Of this factor can he traced in the case

The Far East has a silver. Europe

will increase. while the net profits Of
both interests may not he materially

for lumber and other low grade freight,

charges caused by the development of

carry and the steamship companies cut
rates among themselves so as materi-
ally to lower water rates. causing a
general readjustment OF all freight
rates, then shippers will he really bene-
fitted to the distinct loss OF both the
railroad and steamship interests.
Thus I say that the question Is. For
whom has the canal been built? The
railroads. in order to avoid the readjust-
ment of general rates. are willing to
give the steamship interests the benefit
Of the canal. but in such case the people
OF the United States, who have paid for
this canal. will receive little or no
benefit. II the people Of the United
States are to receive benefit from this
canal through a real reduction OF rates.
which the promoters of the canal
promised. then the sooner the stocks Of
certain transContinental railroads can
be sold the better. In talking the mat
ter over yesterday with n former rail-
road man who is now engaged in an
executive position on the Isthmus he
said:
"Babson. I personally think that all
hands will be disappointed. Certainly
the people will not get the benefit which
they have expected; next there will
always be some one black sheep among
the shipping interests to prevent them
from getting the rates which they would
like. and my guess is that the stocks Of
certain Unconstitutional railroads will
never again sell as high as they would
have again sold II the Panama Canal
was not about to he opened" Certainly
this latter statement is reasonable
unless the clause permitting free tolls
for United States Coastwise shipping be
repealed.
In order that readers may not again
fool themselves as did the holders of
express company stocks who blndly re-
fused to study any figures when they
were presented year or more ago
herewith give the following table of
distances:

expected The West Indian islands will
enter upon a new period Of prosperity,
especially when the internal combustion
engine takes the place of steam and oil
replaces Goa. English business and fis-
cal methods will have a great effect on
making the West Indies important to
shipping, and thus assist the develop
ment of local industries. especially the
export of raw material. The compare
lively unprogressive States Of Central
and South America will undergo re-
markable developments owing To in
creased immigration OF Europeans and
increased trade. These local benefits will
be the chief. and ample justification for
the construction OF the canal"
OF the effect on world trade he said:
America realizes the Importance OF the
coal trade to the United Kingdom there
will be n strenuous attempt to displace
British coal throughout the world in
order to give American shipping the
advantage at present enjoyed by Brit
ish. II successful this will deal a NOR
tai blow at our mercantile marine. Thus
the British coal industry must realize
the situation. and both the capital and
labor interested resolve to hold the mar
ket at all costs until the fuel question
coal or Oils finally settled.
"The published scheme OF tolls which
frees American coasting ships raises an
International question. IT the canal be
worked on business principles, higher
tolls will he eXactcd from other ship
ping: this will either cause a grievance
ar decrease the tonnage using the canal.
The question might he made domestic
instead Of International IL America
charged equal tolls to all. and gave
bountes to such shipping as it wishes
to favor"
AS to the effect ~ distance. he thought
that on Australasian and Far Eastern
markets it would he considerable as the
mileage run by a steamer was seri-
Gus factor in cost of service. In this
shipping offered IA contrast to railways,
for when trucks were loaded. length OF
haul had but little effect on cost of SER
vice. He said:
Taking London and New York as the
typical European and American ports
the markets of the world fall into three
classes:
Cd Countries in close proximity to
the canal: here the effect will be great
est and in many cases the use OF the
canal a necessity.
2. Australasia and the Far East At
present there Is "a choice If routes Ia
these markets. Panama viii offer an
other alternative.
Panama hence is receiving much at
tention from those estimating the effect
on world trade. There Is a parallel
| eauidistant from London via Suez. and
from New York via Panama. ON the
south coast Of Australia this is Port
Lincoln. Adelaide being the nearest

great port. All Asiatic ports west Of
Japan will continue tn be nearer 30 Lon
don: for example. Manila will he 1000
miles nearer. But all japanese and
New Zealand ports and all Australian
ports east OF Adelaide will lie nearer
New York.
3. Ports not directly affected.
Panama differs from Suez here. Suez
had no immediate monopoly; with
Panama there is i'm many instances a
choice Of routes. and high tolls will de-
fleet tonnage. To benefit American ship
ping freight must he available both
out and home. To benefit American
manufacturers freights must he low. At
present Europe supplies Australasia
with manufactured goods and the ship
ping goes via SucZ. This route gives
a maximum Of trading possibilities and
great facilities for coaling. The Cape
route, too. offers to fully loaded steam
ships the advantage Of cheap bunker
coal. For the homeward voyage from
Australasia a partly loaded steamship
goes via the Horn to pick up cargo at
ports like Montevideo. The canal would
not attract these ships.
When Panama is open will all around
the world services be organized? Great
Britain is In better position to do
this than any other country. The ru-
mors current recently that an existing
shipping combine was trying to arrange
an amalgamation with one Of the oldest
Far Eastern shipping companies were
probably due to the hope OF being able
to commence such a service, having
some of the chief trades of the world
as tributaries. from the moment that
Panama is available.
America hopes to open up new mar
kets for certain raw materials such as
wool. This now concentrates at Lon
don. but there Is a tendency toward de-
Capitalization, and II America develops
the woollen industry she will get a
wool market without necessarily con-
| structing a Panama Canal.
Fuel stations will be one ~ the de-
cisive factors and lead to the keenest
commercial rivalry. The American
Government is planning to supply good
coal at either end of the canal at $50
"A ton. The English coal on the Suez
route is at present much dearer: to
maintain the Suez route in its integrity
the supply Of cheaper coal is a neces-
| sity. When oil replaces coal the Brit
| sh Empire resources will be ample to
| maintain British commercial position,
hut this must not in the meantime be
placed in jeopardy or disaster will en-
sue.
Insurance rates will probably be the
