Many Senators and Congressmen Favor Building It. Baltimore, Nov. 14.—The Jfanufieturers’ Record of this week will publish special letters from a number of United States senators and congressmen, giving their ! views upon the question of whether tho government should give financial aid to .secure the esrly construction of the Nlc- [nraguan can*!. The letters are probably ! about equally divided between the Demo, crate and the Republicans, and with only a fen exceptions, take strong grounds In favor of tha Importance of the canal and Its control by the United States govern- ment, either by the government building It outright or lending sueh financial aid to Its construction as will Insure lte con trol by the government. Senator Sherman of Ohio writes that he la thoroughly committed to the con struction of tho Nicaraguan canal and ; emphasises the report made to the senate In favor of government aid. Senator Walsh of Georgia eays that the Nicaraguan canal Is the greatest enter prise now before the business world. He believes that |t should be built and con trolled by the l’n’ -d Statee government; 1 that It would open new markets for our ' products, the field, the mine and the fac tory, end would enable America to com. pete succesefully with European nations for the trace of Spanish-America and tho countries of the Orient. Tho people of the United States, Irrespective ot party or section, should, In his opinion, favor the speedy building of the Nlctrarguan canal, and he adds that, there is no other gtpat enterprise that would accomplish so much In the way of restoring public confidence and would so soon afford new and profit able fields tor America's commerce.
