BUILDING RAILROADS WITH Bosps The
fact seems to be getting generally admitted
that building railroads on bonds has pretty
nearly had its day. The Pittsburg Gazette
says:
The signs Of the time pretty clearly indl-
cate that the time for building railroads by
means Of county and city bonds, and even
mortgage bonds 10 a limited extent, is near
~ mast. Lines already commenced, and
which have disposed Of portion Of their
bonds. will get through with heavy sacriti
ces, New roads oil doubtful exPedency,
and which have but little foundation in iona
tide individual subscriptions, may as well give
up the struggle. They cannot succeed now,
whatever thew NAV do hereafter. The coun-
try has built enough of railroads on borrow
ed capital the last five years, to make 1t a
healthy operation to stop and take long
breath and all accurate observation before
rushing into new experiments we are
not sorry, therefore, to know that city ana
county bonds, unless of the most unexcep-
tionable character, cannot be sold IN YORK
and that they cannot be showed off in Eu-
rope at any price. They have enough OF
our bonds at the present. They wish 70
wait awhile, and see il all our fair promises
are 10 be realized before they send us any
more OF their gold for our promises to pay
