HEIFNER, Chairman. vSBMI-WBEKLY ABERDEEN, WASHINGTON, MONDAY, MARCH 28, 1904. THE PANAMA CANAL EDITOR WATTERSON GIVES SOME HISTORICAL POINTS. Tracing Canal Legislation Down, the Brainy Editor Shows Some Startling Facts. —He Pays His Respects to the Panama Gang In Great Style. Henry WiiUerson, editor of the Louis ville Courier Journal, makes some start ling statements concerning the Panama canal (Veal. Tracing the history of the canal movement in congress, he says: "The Nicaragua canal bill—known as the Hepburn-Morgan bill—was about to pass the senate by wh.it was estimated as a two-thirds vote, having passed the house by an almost unanimous vote. No corporation was behind it. Nobody wms to make a penny out of it. It was purely a public affair. Thu rival Pana ma loute, backed by an American clique, brought into relations with a syndicate of Parisian stock gamblers calling them selves the Panama Canal Company, by William Nelson Cromwell, and for pur poses of obstruction favored by the transcontinental railway lobby, had been not only rejected but discredited. From the first it wore all the (tecnliar aspects of a 'skin game.' Mr. Crom well's 'blind pool' of Parisian stock gamblers had got fraudulent possession of the debris of the old De Lesseps company. They claim to have paid .ft)o,- 000,000 of francs, or $12,000,000, for the De I.esseps trademark and concessions —including some actual pots and pans, and a few inud holes on the isthmus — and to have given Columbia 5,000,000 more of francs, or f1,000,000, to renew ttie ex piling contracts. On this basis, like any other trust of the steelwater class, they issued stocks and bonds, their only valuable asset being specula tive ho|>e of selling to State?. 'To this end Cromwell flitted mys teriously between New Yo'k and Paris. Then Hutin, the president, came over and talked about one hundred and fifty millions. People stated at him, He dropped to one hundred and nine mil lions. They laughed at him. It was too obviously a mock auction even for the gray wolves of the senate, who knew their business. At last Hutin went away. He went away with a bug in his ear. It looked as though the dog was dead. "The men interested took a tun over to Paris, and discovered that about forty millions was about the sum that would turn the trick. Then came the amend ment setting aside the Morgan-llepbuin bill in favor of Nicaragua for a bill sub stituting I'anama. You could see their legs sticking out from ncder their silk hats. You could smell the odor of the offal. Down w.-nt Nicaragua, up went l'anaina. Tne trick was turned." After referring Jto the rejection of the the original treaty at Bogota, and the revolution at Panama—again mentioning names —Editor Watterson says: "Eureka! The twenty millions are safe to thieves in Paris. Better and better: the ten millions for the thieves in Bogota go to the thieves in Panama. Every cent of the money remains in the family. The skunks of the lobby, who do their own spiriting and keep no books, are happy. The bucket shops of Paris are not less happy because they are in accessible. Who cares for the lookß of it? Who is afraid of plowed ground? The plow, at least, will tell no tales, while addition, division and silence will do the rest." In conclusion he says: "Ah, well-a-day, a day will surely come—is coming sooner than some of you believe—when the very earth will open beneath your feet and let your secrets out; when rapacity, emboldened by successful pillage, will repeat in En glish the dire tragedy imported from Paris and translated out of the original French; when disease and death, sup plementing any orgy of occupation, will make putrid in America as in France the name of Panama; when the people of the United States, aghast by the reve lations -of God and nature, will know all and need no further proof than the evidence of tlyjir plundered treasury brought home to their startled senses by hundreds of millions of wasted'taxee. " 'Mr. Morgan,' said a passing friend to the grand old Alabama senator the day after the job went through its final trial trip, 'your troubles are now over.' 'Yes/ answered the man whose name will jet be graven upon marble and bronze as he who at least tried to save us from the jabberwock, 'yes, and theirs are just begun.'

'ALL FOR CAPITAL StC'Y TAFT IS INTERESTING WAtL STREET IN PHILIPPINES. It Is Becoming More Evident Every Day That Our Possessions in the Far East Are to Be Exploited.—And We Have Developed the Men Competent to Do It. * Secretary of War Taft has made a trip to Wall Street to interest capitalists in the Philippines. Starting out with the theory that American capital must be induced to goto the Philippines it will not take the administration long to reach 1 the second proposition : namely, that it must make the terms liberal, as liberal as is demanded, and as it will be giving) away property belonging to the Filipinos and giving it to influential Americans, the inducements are likely to be sufficient. Then having, by gener ous promises, induced American capital to go to the Philippines, the administra tion will insist that a large army and navy are nec-essay to protect American interests there, and the more liberal the concessions to capital the more soldiers will be needed to hold in sub jection the despoiled and disinherited natives. Nothing shows better the commercial ization of the American conscience than the willingness of so many republicans to turi) the Filipinos over to tire tender mercies of the syndicates organized in Wall street for their development. Buti how can we expect the plunder ing of'distant islands to arouse public indignation when trusts are allowed to oppress our own people, when railroads are permitted to collect dividends upon watered stock, and when American financiers are invited to convert the federal treasury into a business asset? If it seems that everything done in the Philippines is done for capital, it does not improve the situation to know that our domestic legislation is also very largely in lire interest of capital—noi in the interest of that capital which represents the slow accumulations of honest effort and is. widely diffused, but that capital which represents the pilfer ings of predatory wealth. For a quarter of a century the corporations have been increasing in size and in boldness, and now that the resources of this country are about monopolized, the administra tion solicits capitalists to enter the virgin fields of the Orient. How .long will it be before the public conscience will be awakened, and an effective pro test made ? A BUSINESS PROPOSITION. If you are going East, a car«ful selec tion of your.route is essential to the en joyment of your trip. If it is a business trip, time is the main consideration; if pleasure, scenery and the convenience and comforts of a modern railroad.
