This, the aminbio public must percelve, would secure large divi- dends even the aecond year!

Tho sfege on trith was a2 perfect ns the siege of ceannon which euclreled tho town In 1870, Inthe hope of counteructing the polson /n atlempt was made 1o obtain the jusertion of the following propusiuops: First, that the Amerl- I were the Brst to exsming tho Papnma route, wnd only ubandoned ft beoause thelr engincers found that,- o sccouut of the utnunl ralnfall of twelve feet, it would cost 80 mitch 1o cunstruct and mulutain, that it would puy ho dividends fora quarieeof o ceatus ry or more: second, that all iotelligent Atnerleans, with i view 10 avold tho diplomatic comptieations that would certainly arise, ‘vore hostifa to i cana! bullt under n forelan charter; third, that the neutrality of the United Btutes and tho sympathy of ihe peopio had not been scenred for the project. But the pustication of these propositions in auy influentlul paper or In any authoritutive Wiy would huve stopped the loan, and of course they werd refised, and so the upward Amerlean swell continued. Tho papers _wero liter- ally louded down with =~ pulls of the canal and o news'" from the the klorl Unlted States, Woerever you went uothing else was talked of. It pencirnted tho ranks of tho very luwest clikses,—the syndicate are not igho- runt of the fuct,—and these unfortunate clusses buye subseribed uumerously to the foan, When ut last the moment arrived for the 1ssue of the loan the pulls grew louder, the blg drum was beaten more furiously, and the precaudons agalnst outsido Interferonce grew more rigld, The toat was lixed for the 25th of November, 8o as to get through tho operation before the meots T o Congeresy and tho 183u0 of the Presidont's message.
