The Opinion of a Representative Amer ican. The Present Effort to Build an Isthmus Canal. Sax Fhaxcisco, July 31, 1881. To the Editor of the ClironirJe SiR: Having been interested some years ago in the canalization of the American isthmus, and, indeed, per sonally engaged in a survey for that purpose, I naturally felt anxious to visit the isthmus of Panama, -where, as is well known, a canal has been commenced under the auspices of M. De Lesseps and a French company. I spent two weeks upon that part of the isthmus, gathering all the in formation I could outside of purely official sources for it will be readily understood that information fur nished to the world by parties direct ly interested in the success of this stupendous undertaking is more or less tinged with paitiality. The reports of Lieut llodgers and Rear-Admiral Cooper of the United States;navy, while the most reliable yet published in the United States, have apparently been compiled from facts and figures furnished by the officials of the canal company, while their conclusions are mildly drawn as perhaps they ought to be in an official report. But the inleroceanic canal question is one of vital importance to the United States, the people of which have a right, as far as they may feel an interest, to know the present con dition of the work and its prospects in the future. In expressing my own opinion I do so frankly, but without any desire to reflect upon the character or ability of those engaged in the undertaking. As I understand it, M. De Lesseps, after a very hurried and imperfect study of the isthmus, formed a com pany with a capital of $120,000,000, to dig a through-cut canal across the isthmus of Panama, and promised his stockholders that it should be con structed for that amount of money and furnished by Januuary 1, 18SS. He calculated the cost of excavation at 50 cents per cubic meter aud of labor at 80 cents per diem, and esti mated the amount of excavation at 122,000,000 cubic meters; how much of it was earth and how much, rock, he apparently did not know then, nor does he absolutely know now. The work was commenced on the 1st day of February, 1831, and thus, at the present moment, three years and five months of the promised time have elapsed. In this period contracts have been made for the excavation of 25,000,000 cubic meters, out of the 122,000,000 cubic meters estimated, but only 5, 000,000 ,pubic meters have actually been done. Thus it appears that on ly one .fit th of one fifth of the work has actually been performed, while nearly one half of the time has been consumed. And a more thorough study of the work has developed the fact that, as it progresses, it not on ly becomes more difficult, but the amount of excavation increases by each succeeding estimate, until it is now conceded that instead of 122, 000,000 cubic meters it will reach tho startling figure of 200,000,000 cubic meters, while the contract price at many points reaches as high as $1.90 per cubic meter and labor has gone from 80 cents per diem to $1.50 and $175. MISTAKEN' ESTIMATES. It is stated that $60,000,000 has al ready been expended, or one-half of the capital stock, and $10,000,000 is asked for the expenditure of the pres ent year. Under these circumstanc es and without taking into considera tion the many difficult problems which 'present themselves from day to day in the progress of the work, not the least of which is the control of that jmcontrollable river, the Cha gres, it is very evident that neither the estimated time nor the estimated money will be adequate for the un dertaking, and, Judging for the future by the testimony of the past, five tunes the amount of money and at least twenty years' time will be ex pended before we shall see even the beginning of the end. If it is true, as stated, that M. De Lesseps has Tfut recently reiterated his promise to complete the canal by 1888, or if it is expected to complete it with the amount of money already subscribed, then 1 consider there is an imposition being practiced upon the credulity of mankind, eqnaled only4)y the Southsea bubble. Tti "work already done is seen more particularly at Aspinwall, where the Fox river has been dredged out, widened and" protected by a terre-plenej-aniil it exhibits a capacity, with more dredging, of becoming an excellent harbor at the entrance of the csnaL The work performed by the Amer ican Dredging Company of which much has been said, has been the digging through the morass of a space 100 feetwide, eleven feet deap and one and three quarters miles long. This may be said to be the com mencement, of the work itself but when it is remembered that the ca nal is to-be 200 feet wide and thirty feet deep, we can readily see how in significant tne worK accompiisnea is in comparison with that remaining to be done by these dredges, their con tract being for seven miles of the ca nal at its full width and depth, , At the exit of the canal at Panama nOtnmg ai " -"" ucc.u uuuc, uuu at the divide at Culebro, where it will be .necessary to cut down through earth and rock.more than 500 feet, no work of any consequence has been accomplished. Tt is said that $20,000,000 has been expended upon the material and plant now upon the Isthmus, and that this must be regarded as part of the assets of the company, but how much of it may be utilized and how much destroyed by the action of the climate is impossible to say. At pres ent much of it may be seen upon the line of the canal entirely exposed to the weather ana rapiaiy deteriorating. COKOIiUSIOIfS DBAWK. There may be some slight mistakes in these estimates, but the main facts can be fully sustained. From these and from other reasons I draw the following conclusions, satisfactory to my mind: First That the canal can not possibly be built in the time specified, nor for the amount estimat ed. Second That the confidence of capitalists will be exhausted before the work can be finished, and in this connection I btate again what I have written before, that in my opinion no canal can be made across any part of the American isthmus without na tional guaranties. Third That even granting the possibility of controlling the Chagres now and diverting its channel, it is financially impossible to dig a through-cut canal, not only down to the sea level, but thirty feet below it, across the isthmus of Pana ma; while I believe a lock canal can be so constructed as to accommodate the commerce of the world, and ob viate the necessity of a canal at any other point My impression is that the present company will exhaust itself in a very few years, and that the time will then be opportune for any country to pur chfise the franchise, with the advan tage of all the labor already expend ed. Whether tho United States, in the maintenance of its undoubted right to exercise a controlling influ ence upon this continent, will then assert its prerogative remains, of course, a question for the future. THE MONROE DOCTRINE. 3ut there are other questions in connection with tho isthmus of Pan ama of interest to the people of the United States. Our government, by virtue of a treaty with that of Colom bia, has guaranteed the isthmus transit The Panama Railroad com pany has virtually sold its franchise to a company in Paris, identical in point of fact with the canal company. 13' this transaction tho Panama rail road comes under the control of the Panama Canal company; indeed the director general of the canal com- pany has on more than one oocasion I asserted his authority over the rail- J road; aud, although at the present moment it may be considered impolitic to interfere with the transit of freight and passengers across the isthmus, j yet when the power is claimed,and the emergency may arise, it can easily bo , seeu that the railroad will be subor dinated to the canal. Should this occur, the question arises as to the ; duties of the United States govern- J ment of Columbia m reference to the treaty before mentioned. Shall we quietly permit the treaty to be ig nored and consent to !tlie ascendenoy of an European company over that pare or tue comment wuicii Ave nave heretofore considered to be under! our immediate protection? Increas ing lawlessness upon the Isthmus, originating in various causes - as tho antagonism of races; the natural tendencies ot tne laborers to the ex-1 cessive use of strong liquors iu that . trying climate; the absence of any ! adequate police force to control so j large a body of men will render necessary, sooner or later, the inter- vention of some foreign government, j "Will it be considered tho duty of the United States to accept this position when in point of faot its citizens will ' have little or no interests to be pro tected? If not, will the people of the United States acquiesce in tho pos session of this important point on the Amerioan continent by an European pow,er? This question must be an swered at no distant day. Tho com ing congressional and presidential election may indicate the popular will on this point Latterly we have been prone to think tho mere busi ness interests of the country para mount to the other, imd, as I think, greater problems of the day. IS TOE OAXAIi NEEDED If the Panama railroad will lay a double track and extend tho road to islands in the bay of Panama, then the completion of the canal may be remanded to the distant future and M. De Lesseps may eithor live to the age of Methusaleh to see its comple tion, or bo born again into a world which will accept faith without works. In the meanwhile the demands of commerce will be measurably filled. As with individuals." so with na tions. It is not all of life merely to live, and I shall regret to see the time when our country shall become so absorbed in the pursuit of gain as to forget her responsibility to the world at large and particularly to her sister republics upon this continent No nation can bo truly great which fails to recognize the broad fact that she belongs to the family of nations and that she has duties to perform and rights to protect beyond her own borders. If congress in its wisdom had thought fit to complete the five dou-ble-turreted monitors which for years have been struggling, for completion over all the abuse which couH be heaped upon them, I should have' no fears of European intervention in any affair which pertains to the American continent The Isthmus of Panama has not yet passed out of American politics, Pu F.
