LIBRARY."
EDITED BY PABIPIIILIUS.

SIXPENNY VOLUMES.

Each volume complete in itself, uniform in size, and neatly

bound, with Ornaniental Wrapper.

" MY LIBRARY" will be devoted to Practical and Progres-
sive Knowledge—will be a Mirror of Literature, Science, and
Art —a multum in paryo—the condensation of the primary
aspirations of the great, the good, and the practtoal.
" MY LIBRARY" will be a Magazine of Reference, an Ix-
DICATOR to the youthful mind in the choice of books—for the
choise of books, like the choice of companions, either tends to
elevate or degrade, as books give the same turn to our
thoughts and reasonings that good company does to our
conversation.

Railways in America•

._~_~

The special correspondent of a contemporary,
writing from New York, under date of October
sth, gives the following account of a visit of Sir
Morton Peto and his party, and of the railway
interests of the United States :----
" The party of English capitalists, comprising Sir Mor-
ton Peto, M.P., Mr James and others interested
in American railway enterprise, have now to a great ex-
tent completed their original programme. They have
travel sed between three and four• thousand miles of rail-
road, they have passed through some of the richest and
most extensive States in the Union, and they have had
opportunities, of which they have freely availed themselves,
of studying their resources, of seeing with their own eyes
the remarkable prosperity of the people, the extent of their
intercourse with each other, and the impediments which
yet obstruct the growth of intercommunication. Five
States have been traversed, each one larger than a Euro-
pean kingdom, and each abounding with all sorts of
natural wealth, waiting for the hand of industry for its
proper development. In those states an active, intelligent,
and enterprising population has been found, the highest
spirit of independence, justly proud of the wonderful
resources of their country, and universally animated by a
desire to diffuse, through the instrumentality of trade,
their productions throughout their own and other lands.
It was with a general view to promote and encourage this
object that this English visit was made to the United States.
It was with this view that a progress was made through
the wide and fertile regions of the West. It may safely be
asserted that the visit has in every sense proved most
successful, and that, like bread cast upon the waters, it
will in due time yield most important results—not the least
of which will be the mutually increasing feelings of respect
and admiration between the peoples of the United States
and Great Britain * * * * * If this visit has demon-
strated one thing more clearly than another it is this—
that, however imperfect in their adjuncts the railroads of
America are in relation to the duties thrown upon them,
the railroads themselves are insufficient for the wants of the
country. Their number and capacity are far below the
natural expansion of trade. The industrial productions of
the country are increasing In a far greater, ratio than the
means for their conveyance into the interior and to the
sea-board. The towns of St. Louis, Chicago, Toledo,
Cleveland, and Buffalo, to say nothing of the great cities
to the south and to the north-east, aro increasing their
productions to an incredible extent, and it is a common
complaint that the railway outlets of the West towards
the European markets are insufficient. The West, indeed,
everywhere presents a wonderful picture of activity, in
combination with natural resources. Not only is there a
marvellous trade in grain, not only is there an extraordi-
nary commerce in cattle and lumber, but great industries
are springing up in all directions, in connection with the
metals, and manufactories are numerous in connection with
labour-saving inventions. At Cleveland and Buffalo there
are ironworks which rival any in England, while the At-
lantic and Great Western, the Erie, and various other
railroad companies, possess vast workshops for the manu-
facture and repair of engines and carriages, employing
thousands of men who every year are attaining greater
perfection. Whilst producing the finest grain in such pro-
fusion that no country-in the world need fear a scarcity,
the West is beginning to turn its attention to the culture
of the grape, with the view to a great trade in wine. The
finest qualities of champagne can be produced, and are
now being produced, and hereafter they will compete with
those of France. With an immense production of grain,
and an enormous trade in pork and beef, with rapidly
extending manufactories of all sorts, and with a capacity
for indefinitely extending each and all of these fields as
the population increases, it is not surprising that the West
should look into the future, and demand an expansion of
railroad accommodation in something like proportion to
the constancy of its growth. It is therefore intended by
the Atlantic and Great Western Railroad Company to
'meet this demand by carrying the broad gauge up to Chi-
cago, with a double track, to run four trains daily between
that city and New York ; and on the eastern side Buffalo
is to be further accommodated by a direct line in connec-
tion with the International Bridge, which will furnish
another bond of harmony between Canada and the United
'States. It is also in contemplation immediately to double
track the company's line between Meadville and Salamanca.,
by which the wonderful trade of the Pennsylvanian oil
regions will be partially relieved from the inconvenience
of delays in the transmission of their products to the foreign
as well as the home markets. These contemplated measures
will involve improvements in the means of access to New
York. The directors of the Erie line are alive to the
necessity of them, and they will be made as they are
wanted, but it seems probable that before very long the
commerce of the West will require even more than the
additional accommodation that appears to be now designed
for it. It will be readily inferred from what has been said
that the railroad interests of America will need additional
capital, and that soon. Considerable demands may there-
fore be expected to be made upon the British and Conti-
nental markets on this behalf. Among others the Atlantic
and Great Western will present a claim of more than
ordinary promise. That line, along with its connections,
supplies an unbroken gauge for more than 1,200 miles from
New York to St Louis. It will shortly give the advantage
of the same unbroken gauge to Chicago on one side of the
Great Lake system, and to Buffalo on the other ; while
from each of those points there is already a constant stream
of goods and passenger traffic to an amount that must be
incredible to those who have not had the advantage of
seeing it. By and bye the entire system of this great
undertaking will be fully developed, and when it is, it is no
exaggeration to say that it will be the finest on the Ameri-
can continent. And not only will it be the finest, but it
must of necessity be one of the most permanently remu-
nerative, becanse it will be the trunk line not only from
the lakes to the sea, but from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
At no part of the system when completed will there be a
change of gauge. All merchants will appreciate the
economy of a route by which their goods will be conveyed
to their destination without a change of trucks; and the
travelling public generally are not less alive to the conve-
nience of beginning and ending their journeys in the same
carriage. In asking the European public for additional
capital, the promoters of American railroad enterprise are
only doing that which might have been expected from
them, and that also which the interests of general trade
absolutely require. The war, now happily over, has
rendered the people of the United States more commercial
and more pacific than ever. Not a trace of its effects, either
in temper or in resources, are to be seen in any, of the great
cities. Temper is not embittered, nor are its resources
impaired ; and there is a universal desire to 'cultivate the
remunerative occupations of peace. If it be asked why
the people on the spot do not more largely invest in their
awn railroads, the answer is that they have largely invested
in them, but that the necessity for railroads in so vast
a country is growing more rapidly than its surplus capital.
Agricultural and commercial pursuits pay so well that
there is naturally a disposition to employ capital in them
in preference to using it in occupations such as railroads,
where it would be fixed. In other words, the circum-
stances of the United States are such that surplus capital
prefers to seek its return from investments that may be
called floating, whereas in England it seeks a return from
fixed investments. In both countries wealth is constantly
increasing, but the mode of obtaining a return from it
differs according to the circumstances of each. The Eng-
lish railroad system is, practically, completed; that of the
United States is in its infancy. Bnt as the investment of
rsiutrpies,luswmheicahn,s iwnhEnnegalasndsahfeasasionpgubbleieen
sitnocrakNilrpoaayd
better
r-
than public stocks, so it is perfectly natural, now that the
English system is substantially filled up, that surplus
capital should incline towards American railroad securities,
which are quite as safe as our own, and generally fully as
remunerative. For English capital not to avail itself of
openings in the United States would be simply to let
favourable opportunities pass unprofitably by."
