the Atlantic - the Pacific. Here The
grasses are the source Of perennial
fertility, and they viii lay the founda-
ton through a.. ages for uutailing sup
plies of fruit and grain, and whatever
is required for human food. On our
whole continent, between the Arctic
and Antarctic Seas, no other region is
so favorable for the sustaining of hui
( man existence. 1t is also in the gold
and silver belt of Colorado, Dakota,
Nevada, and California. Neither
France, Spain, Italy, Germany nor
Russia has such natural wealth; and
in all Europe, only England has SINH
lar meadows, orchards and mines to
show. Outside of this belt, we still
have a country richer and more extern
sive than Europe, which modern agri-
cultural skill, combined with patriot
ism that will disregard human COM
plexion and parallels of latitude, will
develop, by building lines of traffic
from the Gulf of California and the
City Of Mexico to Norfolk. Then,
and then only will lines of deeply laden
ships sail to Havre and Marseilles. In
these passing days, mighty struggle
is going on to secure, if it may be, a
monopoly of the rich try growing
out of the grassbelt, oF44of s.he .d'ncs
of the mountains, and out Of the tea
gardens and mulberry plantations of
China and Japan. On one hand, we
see the Harlem, the Hudson River, the
Erie, the Central, the Canadian Grand
Trunk, and the Lake Shore Railroads
striving that they may become consol-
idated into one corporation, so as to
secure unbroken transit of passengers
and freight to Chicago, and thence
across the Mississippi, the Missouri,
and the Platte. On the other hand,
are the great Pennsylvania Central
and its extension, the New-Jersey Cen
trail, with an uninterrupted track from
Chicago to the deep Bay of New York,
grasping for the same prize, and in so
doing they relax their hitherto rigid
grasp on the route to Cincinnati, st.
Louis, and Kansas CITY or, what is
the same, on the South Pacific, so su-
perior are the attractions OF Omaha
Not less than $2,00,000,000 are rep
resented in this contest even this side
of Iowa. Two points, on these two
rival lines are prominent-Pittsburg
with its industries in iron, glass and
staple N!brics, and Rochester, with a.
enduring moeuvws, orchards, wheat
fields, and intelligent women and men.
One may be more successful than the
other, but it will be national calami.
ty if they harmonic and form one
monopoly. There is enough for both;
in 20 years there will be more than
both can do.
Our Continental trade, thus throw
ing its shadows before, will demand
millions of men in all the industries
and arts and, in connection, farming
and fru it-grpwing will require prac-
teal an d scientific development only
possible in times Of peace and in land
of liberty. a '.aet .N.
One who takes these things in view,
naturally will prophesy that the new
systems of education and thought nee
essary in carrying on our vast trade
will react on Europeon Constitutions,
and make the coming generations smile
that their fathers were the slaves Of
aristocrats and kings.-New York
Tribune.
