DIG THE NICARAGUA CANAL.
Senator John H. Mitchell, of Ore
san, has placed himself on record as
being in favor of the Nicaragua ca
nal. He has ventured even to op
pose Mark Hanna upon this import
ant nationnl enterprise, Senator Han
11a being on the side of the transcon
tinental railroads in their secret opposition-
to the Nicaragua route, ap
parently favoring the Panama canal
in an effort to delay if not dofeat the
national project.
Senator Mitchell's attitude is en
couraging. He no longer goes indo
lently about the work, but takes the
leadership with vigoi along with Sen
ator Morgan, in trying to get the sen
ate to take favorable action upon the
Hepburn bill, which is being held up1
In the upper house through railroad
influence. It is this alone which!
stands in the way of the settlement'
of this great question upon the side
of the people.
Senator Mitchell makes ridiculous
the latest plea of the anti-canal peo
ple, thnt the Nicaragua route is
threatened by eruptions of volcanoes
and earthquakes and the canal, if
built, would be destroyed in the
twinkling of an eye. Since the Mar
Unique disaster the enemies of the
Nicaragua can.il have been busy try
ing to outspout Mount Pelee in an
oratorical deluge of hot mouthings
against a project which ihoy realize
would greatly benefit the people and,
to some extent, relieve them of bur
dens placed against them by special
interests.
The senate of the United States is
brazen in its inpudence to the people,
and it is gratifying to know that Or
egon's senior senator has taken the
stand and is crying out with such en
ergy and force as to admit of no
misinterpretation. Dig the Nicaragua
canal!
CHILD SLAVERY.
Thirty-seven or eight years ago
chattel slavery was abolished and the
people rejoiced, while the institu
tions of a free country were strength
ened and enlarged, but immediately
thereafter, the people not suspecting,
the tree of industrial slavery began
to take root and today Is flourishing
in many parts of this great land,
particularly in those parts whore the
pressure of population Is greatest
upon subsistence.
Recently the American and Jour
nal, Hearst's newspapers, began an
Investigation Into the system vof em
ploying child labor In the glass fac
tories of Now Jersoy and a new hor
ror was rovealed each day as It pro
ceeded. The dOpt hof degradation to
which tho system oi child slavery
haB reduced the vlcnms was found
to be amazing. Thero was unearthed
a eystem by which a constant supply
of children wa3 found to take the
place of tho emaciated exhausted
army of boys that il.op Into prema
ture graves by tho burdens placed
upon their young shoulders. In
short, boys under ten years of ago
wcro bound nit to tho glasc blowers
by padrones, rnil by the glass blow
ers they wore j.-asBod off at. tho fac
tories as their son's.
Tho work required of theso child
ren Is shown by tho following sched
ule of tho slavery of one of tho many
victims:
Hugo Mattlola, 7 years old, weight
40 pounds, reached the factory each
morning at C;30 o'clock.
Carried 10 oaken buckets filled with
water, each weighing 35 pounds,
across a space of 100 feet to fill the
tubs at the benches of the glass blowers.
Used a. long, flat shovel, twice as
long as himself to remove bottles
from the ovens, and carry them at
arm's length on the shovel to the
cooling oven.
Ten a. m., 15 minutes recess, used
in lugging in more water for the
glass blowers.
Worked unMl 12 m. carrying bottles
from the oven as before.
One hour for dinner, part of which
was used in lugging in more water,
until all the tubs were filled again.
The afternoon a duplicate of the
morning's toil.
Negro chattle slavery never pos
sessed more hideous, brutalizing and
horrible features than this form of
industrial slavery! Did it? The im
mediate and temporary cure for it is
to force by law every child out of
these slave pens, but a permanent
cure for it, so that every worker may
earn by honest labor food and rai
ment for those depending upon him
or her, is a long story for which we
have not space at this time, but the
granting of special privileges to indi
viduals and corporations has much to
do with It and a taxation system that
fines industry and enterprise to re re
ward privilege and monopoly is the
chief implement of the industrial
slave masters.
The slave is fast getting into a con
dition that It is next to useless to ex
hort him to think and act to free him
self, for it is impossible for him to do
it. Men who value freedom must
undertake the task, but there are so
few of them that the cause seems
hopeless.
DIG THE NICARAGUA CANAL.
When the house of representa
tives, with only two dissenting votes,
passed the Hepburn bill authorizing
the construction of the Nicaragua ca
nal, it spoke for the country.
For months the Hepburn bill has
been held up in the senate by the
advocates of tho Panama route, most
of whom reflect tho wishes of the
great railroad corporations, which
want no canal at all.
Opposition to the Nicaragua canal
is mostly dishonest. It is intended to
promote delay.
Tho Nicaragua project has been urn
der investigation for many years.
Every aspect of It has been thorough
ly discussed so thoroughly that fur
ther debate wearies both experts and
public
Interested Ingenuity can find ob
jections to tho Nicaragua route, as it
could to any route. In an enterprise
so vast thero Is plenty of room for
conjecture, and whore there is room
for conjecture tho prophet of ovlf is
at homo particularly if ho bo a re
tained attornoy of corporations which
have a business motive for predicting
disaster.
But here Is a fact of capital import
ance: The engineering feasibility of tho
Nicaragua canal Is not questioned by
anybody.
Here Is another fact of equal Im
portance: Tho engineering feasibility of tho
I Panama canal Is very sorlously ques-
tioned.
A dam at Bohlo is tho only possible
place for such a structure across tho
Chagres river. That is tho testimony
1 of engineers. And thero are nntural
conditions which render doubtful tho
security of a dam at riohio.
! If that dam should fall tho Panama
canal would bo a useless ditch.
! Tho Nicaragua routo is not depend
ent upon ono dam. There are nu
merous sultnblo sites for this pur
pose. If ono dam should fall, only
tho dam would bo lost, and not tho
cnnal, as at Panama.
I The Panama scheme Is clouded in
fraud and scandal. Were we to buy
out tho Fronch company wo should
in all likelihood purchase intermina
ble lawsuits.
, Wo should buy, also, divided 'gov
1 ornmont control of tho contiguous
country, Including tho city of Panama
Inhabited by 30,000 people as little
llko ourselves and as fond of us as
are the Filipinos.

A human life paid for every tie thatj
was laid on the Panama uaiiroau.
i
Nicaragua and Costa Rica, on the
other hand, are famed for their
healthful climate. Even the water of
the swamps is good enough to drink.
In the surveying and other prelimina
ry work done by the Maritime Com
pany and the government, men work
ed without Injury to their health,
some of them in the swamps up to
their waists, day after day.
There can be no dispute about the
deadllness of Panama and the salu
brity of Niraragua and Costa Rica.
Roth In the building of a canal and
in its permanent maintenance great
numbers of men will have to be em
ployed. Humanity, therefore, Is on the side
of the Nicaragua route a considera
tion tliat may he regarde' as negligi
ble by the "business lni crests" on
wheels that favor Pannnn, but which
is of large import to people who
enn think and feel.
A clear title can be obtained at
once from Nicaragua and Costa Rica.
There is no fear of lega. complica
tions. The Nicaragua route Is 600 miles
nearer to our coast line ttan Panama.
That Is of vast consequence to do
mestic commerce. By way of Pana
ma Europe would be brought closer
to the Pacific coast than to our own
gulf ports.
Senator Morgan has riddled the
loose estimates which represent that
the cost of the maintenance at inic
aragua would be much larger than
at Panama.
The danger from earthquakes is
quite as great, if not greater, at Pan-,
ama than at Nicaragua that Is tho ,
report of the Isthmian Canal Commls-'
sion. 1
I
The Martinique cataclysm has set
the Panama advocates to spouting i
fire, smoke and lava. They wish the 1
people to see another Pelee in every J
mountain of Nicaragua.
The oceans cannot bo united ex-,
cept through an earthquake country J
That danger must be accepted, even
as the navigator must accept the
peril of storms at sea as a condition
of his calling. ,
But there is a volcano of which tho ,
obstructing republican senate has J
good reason to be afraid.
There Is a Mount Pelee that will i
surely start into violent eruption if
this session shall end without canal
legislation the Mount Pelee of popu
lar wrath.
No legitimate excuse Is left for de
laying longer the passage of the
Hepburn bill and the building of the
Nicaragua Canal.
The railroads have been deferred
to long enough. If they are to be al
lowed to have their way we shall
never get a canal at Nicaragua, Pan
ama, Darlen or anywhere else.
The American people have not for
gotten the voyage of the Oregon,
gentlemen of the senate.
In the approaching congressional
campaign the people will not accept
explanations in lieu of action. Re
member that.

can and Journal.

The instinct of modesty natural to
every woman is often a great hindrance
to the cure of womanly diseases. Women
shrink from the personal questions of
the local phy-
sician which

abhorrent to
them, and so
they endure in
silence a condi
tion of disease
which surely
progresses from
bad to worse.
