Why We Should Subscribe to
the Stock IF the G., McA. d
g, Railroad,

connecting link in one OF the
great through routes, and q,
the same time it runs througIi
a country which will furnish
more freight than any other
road Of equal length in the
State, and it must as a conse'
quences if properly managed
yield a reasonable per cent. tc
subscribers on their invest
ment.
Second, we must build the
road, develop our buried
wealth, and encourage manu-
features or we are a dead COM
munity. Persons who have
their eyes open have been
preaching this fo1 the past ten
years, but they were met by
the old fogies who were either
blind or would not sec, unit
now we have the census, which
the veriest old fogy in Christen
dom dare not attempt to con-
trovert. And the census re-
port shows that there has been
an actual decrease oil popula.
ton in the agricultural dis
tricts of the State, and at points
remote from railroads; and the
farther away from the railroad
and manufacturing region the
greater the decrease. We can
thus see that we must encour-
age these two promoters of
prosperity, or we must so back
ward.
The Pittsburg Commercial,
in an article reviewing the
census reports says upon this
point: "The census which is now
nearly completed, will show
that railroads and manufac.
lures are the two principal
agencies in promoting popula'
ton and development. They
go together, and away from
them growth will have been
inconsiderable. Natural ad.
vantages for manufacturing
will not suffice; and the city or
place that, relying on these,
failsto build railroads, will he
before long confronted by com.
petitors possessing superior en'
terprise."
And il is the same in Ohio
as in Pennsylvania. Take our
neighboring county of Law
renee. 1t is peculiarly a man
ufacturing county and enjoys
the advantage Of being situated
on the river, and having a 10
cal railroad extending nearly
or quite through the county.
In the last ten years Lawrence
has increased 36 per cent. and
its principal city--Ironton--has
nearly doubled its population,
while the aggregate increase
OF the State is bait 10 per cent.
We have no doubt The next ten
years will show a still greater
per cent. in favor of Lawrence
and other manufacturing coun-
ties.
Again, if progress in popula.
ton and wealth has no charms
for us, every man, woman and
child who remains here is in
terested in getting our produce
to market by as cheap Il route
as possible, and in getting in
such things as we consume at
the lowest possible freight.
Every cent we pay to get our
to market is just that
much taken from our profits;
every cent Of freight paid by
our merchants in getting on
goods which we consume is just
that much added to the price
are compelled to pay for
them. Cheap transit to and
from the place where our mer-
chants do their trading then is
something that appeals TO our
interest every time we sell a
dozen of eggs, a pound OF but
ter, q bushel Of potatoes, or
other product, or every time
we buy a pound of sugar or
