does well than rival is started. The stockhold-
ers in the one are the projectors Of the other.
They calculate that they will make their profit
by the enhanced value of the land they own on
the line Of railway; and they are prepared to
lose all the money they give for stock. OF course
this is not the calculation Of the spectators and
jobbers of Wall street, who get up railway CON-
panies, and write railway reports and job railway
shares, and pretend that the track which they try
to foist on the public is valuable dividend
paying security and "national Interest,"" but
it is the habit of thought Of the landowners and
the millers and the merchants who are the real
owners of the roads, and who pay the hard dol
lars for building them.
Railways, as a speculation, are blunder.
They never pay interest on their cost, save
where they are protected by foolish legislation,
at the cost Of the country which they intersect.
Railways will be the making Of our Western
States; but twenty years hence, every road, ex-
cept those built on the plan of the Illinois Cen
trail must infallibly have been in bankruptcy.

himself, heretofore so eminenlly worthy of
