The North American Review cites contractor George W Crichfield arguing a canal could be finished in four years if given to a competent firm. He contrasts this with 12 to 20 year estimates for lock or sea level designs and questions the feasibility of a true sea level route due to tides.

Prominent engineers including Hun ter and eeley after reviewing Panama surveys favored a lock system over de Lesseps sea level design.

Meanwhile Edgar Gardner Murphy condemns the Evening Post for caricaturing his North American Review argument on the fourteenth amendment.
