And that business would take the northern route and stop at San Francisco. There are, however, two other classes of business which would go through that canal. The first is the business with the west coast of South America, a business which seems to have great possibilities of development, but in which the United States has hitherto had exceedingly small interests. That west coast is now served by sev- eral European lines of steamers, which, passing through the Straits of Magellan, come up on t...he west coast ; while some of them make connections at the isthmus, and transfer. But the opening of this canal will place the west coast of South America 3, 000 miles nearer our ports than to those of Europe. It will give us the oppor- tunity to do there what we are doing in Mexico and in the West Indies. It will give us an entirely new field for commerce, and one which may be of the very utmost importance. These classes of traffic are the ones which the canal will open. The canal will also form our best line to New Zealand and Australia.
