about one-sixth OF the region it crosses
is capable of cultivation and settlement,
while more than half the region crossed
by the Union and Central, and four-titths
Of the country traversed by the Texas
Pacific is, incapable of supporting an
agricultural population. The Northern
Pacific railroad would. therefore, be
sustained largely by its way traffic, which
would enable il to carry through freights
at less prices than the more southerly
routes which depend mainly on through
freights for their revenues. The COM
pletion Of the Northern Pacific would
open many millions of acres of fertile
lands to the surplus population of our
cities now clamoring in vain for en-
ployment; it would supplant with or
ganized and civilized communities the
marauding savage tribes which now
roam over that vast territory in defiance
of our little army, and save the govern
ment the large annual expenditures
which it now incurs in vain effort TO
secure the peace Of the frontier; il
would throw open TO the enterprise OF
the world the rich mineral resources OF
Montana, and finally it would relieve
the commerce between the oceans Of
the immense tax it now pays to the
cupidity Of the single gigantic monopoly
which now controls it.

National Need Of the Northern Pacific.

The people along the line of the Union
and Central Pacific railroads and on the
Pacific coast are complaining Of the
cXtouionatc rates charged by those com
panics. What else is to be expected Of
4 corporation which controls the single
line of railroad connecting the Pacific
coast with the Mississippi river and
which has thus complete monopoly of
all the trade and travel across the CONT
nent? There Is just one way to eman-
cipatc the commerce Of the country
from the oppressive eXactions of this
monster monopoly, and that is to push
forward the construction Of the North
ern Pacific railroad. The completion Of
this railway is far moro important 10
the general commercial interests of the
country than the Texas Pacific. 1t will
develop, indeed, far more desirable
country along lis route, but rs m inStru-
ment Of tranS-contincntal commerce it
