That the proposed Nicaraguan canal Is
vital to the interests ot the United States
wna emphatically demonstrated during
the recent war with spam when our bat
tleship Oregon was compelled to malt her
long voyage down around the Horn to
reach the scene ot naval operations. The
apprehension of the American people dur
ing the long detour was painfully and just
ly excited, while the Government was de
prived of several weeka service of its
finest man-of-war during the time it re
quired to sail down the west coast of
South America and up on the eastern side.
Then, again, the commercial benefits to be
derived by the completion of the proposed
ahort-cut waterway are Inestimable. A
most comprehensive article on the subject
of the Nicaraguan canal has been written
by Henry I. Sheldon, a Chlcagonn. Th"
is said by experts to be the most cotnpleu
atudy of the cautil question yet undertak
en. Mr. Sheldon visited Nicaragua three
years ago and traversed the entire route
of the projected waterway, examined the
work done, and secured reliable data as
to cost and methods of construction, Mr.
Sheldon went not as the agent of ani com
pany or of the Government, but merely
aa an individnnl having no interest, pe
cuniary or rriendiy, who the present com
pany constructing the canal, and was
careful to Incur no obligations which
would prevent his taking an unbiased
view.
"It may be well to say at the outset."
writes Mr. Sheldon, "that I reached the
conclusion that the canal In Nicaragua ia
practicable, and can be constructed at a
cost on which fair returns can be earned.
It also seems clear that, for many reasons,
It is not a suitable work for private cap
ital to undertake, and that It will be bet
ter that our Government should assist the
undertaking. There are strong equities
on the side of national aid, Inasmuch as
the chief benefits will never be the toll
collected from passing vessels. The canal
may so develop our trade with Eastern
Asia that a single rear of that trade will
exceed in volume the total coat of ;
construction. Its opening will douhle
value almost every acre of agricultural
land in California, Oregon and Washing

"In building tip a foreign trade our nat

quires to move along the lines of least
resistance. Our geographical situation is
such that we are the natural producers
for all countries bordering on the Pacific
ocean, the relative distance ot European
manufacturers, as compared with our
own, gives ns-a great advantage. The
idea of trying to sell much of our products
to China and Japan is new to oar people;
but those countries are entering on a ca
reer of great development, and why should
not the American people have a share in
supplying their wants? The trade reports
tell the story of their awakening. The

"We have not been alive to this demand.
Of Japan's purchases abroad of $113,000,

Estimate of Probable Revenue.
: Mr. Sheldon's estimates of the probable
revenue to be derived from the canal are
encouraging, "Ab the conditions are so
similar, it is necessary, in taking a broad
view of probable earnings, to consider th
business transacted by the Suez canal.
The results there shown are more helpful
than mere estimates; they are ascertains
facts. That company deals with th
world's commerce, just as will be done in
Nicaragua. In 1805 its business amount

Needed In the Time of War.
"Our country is so widely extended,
8,000 miles from east to west, that cheap
and speedy water transportation like this
la almort absolutely needed to bind and
bold It more closely together. At present,
la time of war. such parts of our growing
navy as might be on either the Atlantic
or the Pacific side would be for a consid
erable time of no use on the other ocean.
The canal, when built, will promote the
development of better markets for our
manufactures in foreign countries border
ing on the Pacific These are less exposed
than those on the Atlantic to European
competition. This nation cannot be con
sidered a first-class power when our peo
ple are only buyers from the rest of the
world. Exporting agricultural products
does not make a great nation. The French
and the Germans do not engage In such
exportation, finding other activities to be
more profitable. A glance at the principal
foed-exporling countries shows the truth.
They are such countries as Southern Bus
sis, India and, latterly, the Argentine
Republic, and they are poor, and they stay
poor. We need to keep our wheat, feed
our operatives with it, and send abroad
the products they manufacture. The
cnange cannot come suddenly, but we
should plan and work for it. Some neg
lected markets are near us. The Bio
Grande is quite a small stream. One can
ride a horse across It from Texas into
Mexico snd entering the first hotel, ne
finds an English cloth on the table in the
$243,000,000 In 1804, we supplied only
$10,000,000. We were good buyers, how
ever, taking $25,000,000 of her products.
Our diplomatic agents report that with
more alertness and enterprise we could
have furnished to Japan, and at a reason
able profit, 60 per cent of all her foreign
purchases in 1804. One reason why the
people of our gulf States are so unani
mous for a canal In Nicaragua, is that it
will open an additional market for their
cotton. The United States is the chief
producer of the world s cotton, and prices
for this product have been deplorably low
of late years, entailing great privations In
many Sontnern Homes. It Is the old story.
We have been producing more cotton than
we could find markets for. The new bur
er ot cotton is Japan. That country is
going strongly into the manufacture of
cotton goods, such as are used by the peo
ple of tne warm countries, and now not
only exports these goods to China, but
undersells the English manufacturers In
their own dependency of India." .
Favors Government Ownership,
Mr. Sheldon takes strong ground in fa
vor of absolute ownership and control of
the Nicaragua eahal by the United States
Government, : "Congress could prescribe
the tolls to be paid by ships nsing the
canal, making the charges sufficient to
meet the expenses of operation and a suit
able Interest on the capital invested in the
undertaking and also. If considered advis
able, for an annual payment into a sink
ing fund, to meet, at maturity, any Gov
ernment bonds which might hare been
Issued. -
"As commerce Increased, the tolls could
be lowered, and any other reduction in
favor of American ships, found desirable
tons; in 1871, 760,000 tons; In 1872, 1,100,-
ow tons, ana tnere Has been a fairly
steady increase ever since, np to the
amount In 1805. During all this time the
volume of the world's commerce has stead
ily increased. Not only has trade more
and more adjusted itself to the Suca route,
but also the aggreg-ate amount of trn,l
has become much larger. Some allowance
should be made for the advantages pos
sessed by the Sues canal as a now well
established route. Taking Its business
eight years ago may be a fair offset for
this Item. The amount for 1888 exceeded
6,000,000 tons. The earlier Sues tolls were
$2.77 per ton, which have been gradual
ly reduced the past twenty years, and
traffic is not prepared now to stand heavy
charges In any direction. A moderate
tariff will be in every way desirable. A
favorablo, but approximate, estimate of
the possible revenues In Nicaragua would
be as follows: With tolls at $1.50 per ton
at the ontset, and a business of at least
6,000,000 tons after the canal Is fairly in
operation, a gross income of $9,000,000
would be obtained. Administration, main
tenance and operation for 1805 cost the
Suei canal about $1,800,000. Taking Into
account all the dam and embankment
work at Nicaragua, as well as the heavy
rainfall, an allowance of $3,000,000 as an
annual average for expenses may be fair,
leaving a net income of $0,000,000. An
undertaking ot this character Is to be
gone Into only as a long-term Investment,
and the earnings for the first few years
after It Is completed are not to be consid
ered as sufficient for a final judgment. The
greatest earnings will come later on.

History of the Cntiol Frhrma,
In December, 1881, Senator Miller of
California Introduced a bill In Congress
to Incorporate ''The Marine Cuiml Com
pany of Nicaragua," with the purpose of
constructing the canal. (Jen. U. S. Grant,
Howard Potter. E. D. Morgan, II. J. Jew
ett and other prominent capitalists were
concerned In the proposed enterprise. The
bill met with bitter opposition In Congress,
and was utterly defeated hy the failure
of the Murine Hank of New York, In
which tho Grants were ruined financially,
Tho Nicaragua Canal Company was in
corporated In 1887, with former Senator
Warner Miller as president, and for a
time nuule good progress. Its success in
duced opposition, and In 1881) the Mari
time Canal Company of Nicaragua, which
received the sanction of President Cleve
land, was incorporated. Hiram Hitch
cock was the first president, hut he was
subsequent ly succeeded by Thomas 11.
Atkins. The work of digging the canal
was begun and continued until financial
misfortune overtook the enterprise, the
construction company falling Id the terri
ble panic ot 1803. The contract for the
construction was then awarded to Warner
Miller Nicaragua Company, which still
holds Its concession. Many attempts have
since been made to secure the aid of the
Government, but the bills have tailed to
pass both houses. Congress, however, au
thorized the appointment of a technical
commission of civil engineers to re-examine
the canal line, and It Is the report of
this commission which will be presented
to Congress In December.
The principal authorities on transporta
tion statistics have made estimates that
the Nicaragua route should divert from
2,000,000 to 3,000,000 tons of low-rate
freight, snch as flour, dry goods, machln-

Is nothing new In this, the tale has been
told before. What is remarkable 1
the arrangement of the mutual dining
table In the Tolstoi table d'hote. The
bowl of the community a bowl ol

dividual Thus the sit consumers get
fair start and then thoy are all off
together. But one would have thought
this a fatal arrangement,. Age, teeth
and digestion are sadly unequal. What
Is there to prevent the venorablo grand

course as a point-to-point race, and so
show forth the eternal Inequality of
things? It la added that there Is a
beautiful simplicity and decency In
these repasts, and that there are three
napkins to each symposium. Thus we
have six consumers to one bowl and
three napkins to six consumors. But
some will do well to avoid the table
