The European and North American Railway
sustains a relation to the railway system of
America corresponding to that of the Central
Pacific railroad. .-
The latter is the only railroad reaching to
California and the Pacific coast, and all the
railway traffic of the rest of the United States
with California, Japan China, etc., passes over
the Central Pacific. The European and North
American railway extends eastward toward to-
ward Europe, and, terminating at Halifax, will.
ON completion in July next, bring America and
Europe within six days sea-voyage of each 9TH
er. Heretofore eight days has been the minim-
UNI length of the voyage from New York
The saving of some thirty-six hours time from
that now required, and the avoidance of seven
hundred miles of ocean travel altogether will
make this route to and from Europe by for the
most popular. The travel between Europe and
America, and vice versa, amounts to over four
hundred thousand passengers annually. Ar
rangements have been made already with the
United States and Canadian governments for
taking the European mails over this road and
the increased speed of transit will ensure to
this railroad the carrying of all the mails of
China and Japan, and America, to and from
all the nations of Europe, after its completion
to Halifay next July Because of the saving of
time, and the entire avoidance of the worst part
OF the voyage across the Atlantic, (along the
coast from New York to Halifax specie and
valuable freight will also take this route The
enormous magnitude of our business relations
with Europe is to well known to need menton-
ing here.
Suffice it to say, that this e. and N A. rail-
way, affording such remarkably valuable facili-
ties for travel and traffic to and from Europe,
will surely, and beyond all question, enjoy re
markably large and lucrative business from
this source
Besides this the local business is large and
profitable Being the only railroad connecting
the Provinces, population -one million) with

Canada and the United States, its business il
large and constantly increasing, and the i'm
mense mills and tanneries along its line furnish
a business alone sufficient to make it having

The Central Pacific" is the western, while
the E. & N A. Railwcy is the eastern terminal
line of the railway system of America and as
the former receives the outpouring of travel
and freight from America towards California
Asia and return-so will the e. & N. A rail-
way receive that of America toward Eurone
and of Europe toward America-an endless
stream.
The 6 per cent. Gold Bonds of the Centro1
Pacific are quoted at about 1903, and are son0bt
for as in every respect desirable and thoroughly
safe.
The G per cent. Gold Bonds of the E. g. N
A. Railway Co., (of the portion of the road in
Maine, ia miles) are most amply secured and
no r. r. Bonds ever offered in Maine have met
with any quicker sales. They are not only Sc
cured by first mortgage on valuable trunl, line
| of railway and by sinking fund, but also by
| first mortgage on some 100000 acres of timber

Maine These amount to four hundred acres Ia
| each $1,000 bond. Nearly all of the entire

1t is disingenuous, TO say the least, for the
Ellsworth America, to declare that the
PRESS ''is opposed to railroads generally
because il is opposed to those abuses OF the
railroad system that have always and every
where resulted in the establishment of mo-
nopolies in the creating of corrupt lob
bies, and the lowering of the moral tone of
the communities that have suffered them to
gain a foothold. We are not opposed to rail-
roads in general, by any means; on the con-
trary, we regard them as one of the great
civllizing agencies of the century. But we
do protest most earnestly against voting i'm
mense subsidies to capitalists, thus facilitate
ing extravaganza in construction, and recl-
lessless in watering stock. The american
would express no doubt as to the tendency of
subsidies to stimulate the stock-watering pro-
pensities of capitalists, iii had carefully read
the railroad history of the country. Those
roads that have had the most generous gov
eminent subsidies are precisely those whose
securities are most inflated, thus entailing
upon the labor of the country the payment OF
a. heavy annual tax to capitalists as nominal
interest on investments that have never been
made. 1t is computed that the people Of
the country pay TO Commodore Vanderbilt
three millions annually in addition
to the sum he is equitably entitled tC
collect. How much they pay to sup

The estimates for the next fiscal year, that

much exceed those for the current year, save in
few special cases. The law which Mr.. Dawes
originated year ago, requiring all unexpended
balances at the close of the fiscal year to be
carried into the Treasury, and making it a
penal offence to exceed the amount of the ap-
preparation, has had most satisfactory results.
The deficiency appropriations next year will be
few in number and small in amount
