An official weekly paper should be edited at once by the 

 new Company, after its formation, and sold at the moderate 



price of 1 \ d. or \ shillings yearly. 



This paper dedicated exclusively to the business of the 

 new Company will keep the Shareholders well informed of 

 all what is being done in Paris and in Panama, and will be 

 the indispensable tie between the Shareholders and the Com- 

 pany, replacing profitably the ordinary annual meetings of 

 Shareholders. A meeting of these last should be called only 

 in case of absolute necessity. 



If the Boards of Directors should agree that for the promo- 

 ting of the Company, it is necessary to apply to Bankers, it will 



be stipulated with the said Bankers that a commission of-^ 



per cent shall be, paid to them on all sums received for the 

 account of the Company. € 50.000 will be required to pay 

 the said commission on twenty millions pounds sterling. 



As will be seen by what precedes, the author has had only 

 in view to prove that it is possible, and easy, to get the neces- 

 sary sums for the completion of the Canal. He has not sail 

 one word about the technical part of it, which belongs by right 

 to the Engineers, firstly because he understands nothing about 

 it, and secondly because he thinks that it has been done tho- 

 roughly well by the various Commissions of Engineers sent 

 in the Isthmus for that purpose, and especially so, by the 

 last one, sent by the Liquidation, and whose Reports have 

 been published and are well known by all. 



Now I give a list (1) of the competent persons, well known 

 for their patriotism, and who would probably accept the for- 

 mation of the new Company for the completion of the Canal, 

 and whose personalities would probably be acceptable to all 

 the Panama Bond and Shareholders, knowing well that if 

 their concourse can be secured, the success is certain.
