the
CAPITALISTS OF GREAT BRITAIN.
There was no "aid" voted by tOwinp
cities, counties, or State. No munieals,
corporation subscribed a cent. In that
respect they all followed the judicious
example Of Chicagol The people of
Great Britain have been no longer en-
gagged in building their railways than
have the people of the United States.
Their roads are all paid for and owned at
home, while with railroads in the Uni
ted States, costing, in actual hard cash,
but little more than half as much as the
British roads, and, in hard labor much
less than half, very large part Of the
money for their construction was loaned
by the British and German capitalists.
Fully a quarter of the actual expendi-
ture was advanced by the British in ex-
change for bonds and stocks Of one kind
or other Within twenty years they
have constructed over 5000 miles Of rail-
ways in the Indies at a cost Of $780,
100000. They have provided the money
also for the construction Of all the rail-
roads of Canada and the other British
Colonies, and more than half the money
for the construction Of the railways in
Russia, The money for those In Spain
and Italy, in chief part, came from Eng
land; and, in every other country, where
railroads have been built, except in
France and Germany, Belgium and Hol-
land, British capital has been freely used,
and, where money has not been sub
scribed, iron rails have been exchanged
for mortgage bonds, or "debentures," as
they are here called, r.
Ihave dwelt thus long on railways to.
