HEED OF THE CANAL.
NICARAGUA OlTCH WOULD SAVE
TIME AND MONEY.
Aa a Bsveineea Venture Alone tne
Proposed Artery, It la Claimed,
Would Bs a Big Bonansa la the Way
of Toll and Lock Charge.
That the proposed Nicaraguan canal is
Vital to the interests of the United States
was emphatically demonstrated during
the recent war with Spain when our bat
tleship Oregon was compelled to make her
long voyage down around the Horn to
reach the scene of 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 weeks' service of Its
finest man-of-war during the time it re
quired to sail down the west coast of
South America and np on the eastern side.
Then, again, the commercial benefits to be
derived by the completion of the proposed
short-cut waterway are inestimable. A
most comprehensive article on the subject
of the Nicaragnan canal has been written
by Henry 1. Sheldon, a Chicagoan. Tbi '
Is said by experts to be the most compleu
study of the canal 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 any com
pany or of the Government, but merely
as an individual having no interest, pe
cuniary or friendly, with 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 is
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 tne side of national aid, Inasmuch as
the chief bene&ts will never be the tolls
collected from passing vessels. The canal
may so develop our trade with Eastern
Asia that a single year of that trade, will
exceed in volume the total cost of
construction. Its opening will double
vaine almost every acre of agricultural
land In California, Oregon and Washing
ton, and the population of those States
will be more than doubled. For many
years I have occasionally visited the Pa
cific coast, for either business or pleasure,
and aVa;a. ?ie most striking aspect of
Lit condition has Veen the absence of sat
fisfactory markets tor Its products. Not a
bushel of its large wiieat crop eoms t
the Atlantic coast by rail, as wheat can-
not bear the cost of so long carriage.
Aeitber can Its lumber or ores come by
rail. In many places, after the farmer or
the fruit grower baa paid the charges of
transportation companies, the
there is little
or nothing left for him. The population
continues small because the markets are
so Inadequate. Twenty-five years trial
has demonstrated that if railroads are to
be the sole means of communication the
development of the Pacific States will be
very slow. The only promise of relief Is

Needed In the Time of War.
"Our country, is so widely extended,
2,000 miles from east to west, that cheap
and speedy water transportation like this
Is almost alsojutely needed to bind and
hold it more closely together. At present,
la lime of war. such parts of our growing
navy as might be on either the Atlantic
r the Pacific side would be for a consid
erable time of no nse 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.
sldercd a first-class power when our peo
ple are only buyera from the rest of the
world. Exporting agricultural products
does not make a great nation. The French
and the Germans do not engage In snob
exportation, finding other activities to be
mere profitable, - A glance at the principal
food-exporting countries shows the truth.
They are such countries as Southern Rus
sia, India and, latterly, the Argentine
Republic, and they are poor, and tbey stay
poor. We need to keep our wheat, feed
our operatives with it, and send abroad
the products they manufacture. The
change cannot come suddenly, but we
should plan and work for it. Some neg

dining room. The cupa and plates are
English, the cutlery from Germany and
the waiters wear a suit of German
clothes. There probably will not lie an
article imported from the United States
in the house except a sewing machine. The
demand is there, bat we have carelessly,
almost good-naturedly, made no effort to
sell.
"In building up a foreign trade our nat
ural course will be to begin with the coun
tries where we shall meet least competi
tion. In order to be profitable, trade re
quires to move along the liuea of least
-resistance. Oar geographical situation Is
such'that- Ww are "the natural producers
for all countries bordering on'tue Pacific
ocean. The relative distance of European
manufacturers, as compared with our
own, gives na a great advantage. The
idea of trying to sell much of our products
to China and Japan is new to our 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
purchases of their silver were:
Ia 1885 $28,000,000
In 1894 113,000,000
China bonght from foreign countries:
In 1S85. . ? iyiOOO.000
In 1S94... 2,000,000
"We have not been alive to this demand.
Of Japan's purchases abroad of $113,000,
000 in 1S01, we sold her only $11,000,000.
We excelled in paying money to her, how
ever, for in that year we bought of her
goods amounting to $113,000,000. Of
China's purchases from other nations of
ROUTE OF THE PROPOSED NICARAGUA!! CANAL.
$24.3,000,000 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 to unani
mous for a canal in Nicaragua, ia that it
will open an additional market for their
cotton. The United State I 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 Southern homes. It ia the old story.
We have been producing more cotton than
we could find markets for. The new buy
er of cotton I Japan.- That country is
going strongly Into the manufacture of
cotton goods, such as are used by the peo
ple of the 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 canal by the United States
Government. "Congress could prescribe
the tolls to be paid by ships using 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 sink
ing fund, to meet, at maturity, aDy Gov
ernment bonds which might have been
issued.
"As commerce Increased, the tolls could
be lowered, and any other reduction in
favor of American ships, found desirable

ity. If any European complications as
to the use of the cannl arose, our Govern
meat wonld not be hampered by the exist
ence of a canal company, nor by being
obliged to obtain the current action of
Nicaragua and Costa Itica, but would be
in a position to decide for itself what
course to take. The possible claims of
England to joint control of the camil un
der the Clayton-Bulwer treaty should be
Ignored. Those claims could never be al
lowed, and we probably would hear little
of them after we had constructed the
canal with our own money nnd were Is
Ufull powsaion.. The Su? c&uhl has been
neutralised by an agreement between the
great powers, but that waterway is close
ly connected with the Eastern question,
the balance of power, and other large sub
jects Involving the nations of Europe.
There is no analogy as to neutralization
between the situation at Suez and that at
Nicaragua.".
Katlmatca of Probable Revenue.
Mr. Sheldon's estimates of the probable
revenue to be derived from the canal are
encouraging.. "As the conditions are so
similar, it is necessary, in taking a broad
view of probable earninjrs, to consider the
business transacted by the Sues canal.
The results there, shown are more helpful
than mere estimates; they are ascertainei'
facts. That company deals with tin'
world's commerce, just as will he done lu
Nicaragua. In 18U5 its business amount
ed to 8,440,000 tons. It had then been in
operation twenty-4ive years. The first
year, 1870, its business was only 430.000
tons; in 1871, 730,000 tons; In 1872, J.lOhy
000 tons, and there has been a fairly
steady - increase ever aince, np to the
amount in 18D5. During all this time the
volume of the world's commerce has stead,
iiy increased. Not only has trade more
and more adjusted itself to the Sues route,
but also the aggregate amount of trade
has become much larger. Some allowance
should be made for the advantages pos
sessed by the Suez 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
fl,000,00() tons. The earlier Suez tolls were
$2.77 per ton, which have been gradual
ly reduced the post 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
favorabia, but approximate, estimate of
the possible revenues in Nicaragua would
be as follows: With tolls at $1.50 per ton
at the outset, and a business of at least
6,000,000 tons after tho canal is fairly in
operation, a gross Income of $9,000,000
would be obtained. Administration, main
tenance and operation for 1895 cost the
Suez cannl 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 of this character is to : be
gone into only as a long-terra Investment,
and the earnings for the' first few years
after it Is completed are not to be. consid
ered as sulficlent for a final judgment. The
greatest earnings will come later on.
"The canal route, as at present project-
I ed, is to be 174 miles long from Brito on

History of the Canal Prlisma.
In December, 1881, Senator Miller of
California Introduced a bill iu Congress
to incorporate "The Murine Canal Com.
puny of Nicaragua," with the purpose of
constructing the canal. Gen. U. 8. Grant,
Howard Potter, K. U. Morgan. H. J. Jew-
ott and other prominent capitalists wero
concerned In the proposed enterprise. The
bill met with bitter opposition In Congress,
and was utterly defeated by the failure
of the Marine. Rauk of New York, In
which the Grants were ruined flnunelnlly.
The Nicaragua ('anal Company was In
corporated in 1S87, with former Senator
Warner Miller us president, ami for a
time made good progress. Its success In
duced opposition, and iu 1S81) tbe Mari
time Cuiml Company of Nicaragua, which
received the sanction of President Cleve
land, was Incorporated. Hiram Hitch
cock was the first president, but he was
subsequently succeeded by Thomas U.
Atkins. The work of digging the canal
was begun and continued until financial
misfortune overtook the enterprise, the
construction company falling In the terrt
ble paulc of 1SD3. 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 failed to
pass both houses. Congress, however, au
thoriied the appointment of a technical
commission of civil engineers to re-exanv
I ne the canal line, aud it is the report of
this commission which will be presented
to Congress in Decern tier.
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, such as flour, dry goods, machliv
cry, coal, etc., from the overland traffic
Suppose 2,500,000 tons were diverted to
steamship lines from the Atlantic and gulf
usual ocean tonnage from New York to
the Pacific, and other vessels which would
go through the canal, a conservative cat
dilation places the annual freight at
7.000,1X10 tons. At the lowest Suei cannl
rate this would give an annual revenue of
$12,810,000. Tha route In favor runs from
Greytown on the Atlantic coast, via the
San Jnnn river and Lake Nicaragua to
Brlto, on the Pacific. The total distance
Is 174 miles, divided as follows:

Canal to Greytown 10.48
The Nicaragua cannl route waa sur
veyed first by Col. O. M. Cbilda In 1852
for the then existing Transit company
which bad established transisthmian com
munication with California by steamer
from Greytown by way of the San Juan
river to Virgin bay on the west shore of
Lake Nicaragua, and thence by stage to
San Junn del Sur, about eight miles south
east of Itrito. The route selected by Col,
Child, who was an eminent engineer,
has not been improved oxin very greatly
by subaequent surveys. The last survey
made by Mr. Menocn! for the Govern
ment, lays the line along the I.ajaa and
Rio Grande rivers on the west. Between
the headwaters of these rivers and the
divide is lower and the route more practi
cal than anywhere else. From there the
route leads across the lake, thence by way
of the San Juan river and canal cut to
Greytown. '
