Increased as the population OF the country had gone
10 hundreds OF millions instead Of 81 5000
This statement strikngy illustrates our increased
means, ana Is fully confirmed by the " the inter
MAJ commerce. or the country, which s almost entirely
the result Of the application Of steam TO locomoton, and
which has been almost wholly created since 1915. The
tonnage carried by the railroads OF tho State Of Massa
chusetls for 1859 was TONS WORTH at the very
low valuation OF 500 per 1911 672 900 The
OF the Erie Canal and the Erie and New York Central rail-
roads TOR 1880 WAS 687 38 tons worth al least $078
73 60O-akng internal commerce. for the two States
alone, exceeding 81 900 900 900 in value, nearly the
whole of which has been created since the opening Of the
Erie Canal In 1924 Other portions Of the country show
still greater relative progress their public works
have not only been constructed but their population
pied within the last forty years. There In the
United States 81 800 miles OF railroad, that have cost
81 50 600 000 and 49, miles OF canal that have cost
S2000O000 The loyal States have %, 900 miles or rail-
road costing $3.50 000 and miles OF canal costing
500 000 II the value Of the trade Of the pub
lie works of New York and Massachusetts, with mileage
OF 100 miles, equal to 81 600 900 O0O that of the re
mn , e. the loyal States with railroad and canal
mileage Of 20, 500 miles, must surely amount to sum
twice AS large, or 81 900 900, 600. W

The Toledo Blade says of the freight business of
the railroads centring nj that point
We Lcevc that never IN tho history of Toledo has the
freight business of the railroads ccntrng here been
