America during the past six years has demonstrated, beyond reason able doubt, the feasibility of the gauge of three feet, proving as it has the following facts:
 1. That good road may be con structed at q cost and equipped on this gauge not in excess of two thirds Gall things being equal) of the sum necessary to construct the standard gauge. ?. That when constructed it can be operated for q sum less than two-thirds of the sum necessary to operate the stand ard gauge doing the game amount of business. 3. That its capacity is ample to meet all requirement.. 4. That it is equally as safe as the standard gauge, ,. That the cap ital invested therein has proved more remuneraiivc than like invest ments made in standard gauge roads nnder similar conditions. G. That when built they have given slt- iseaction to their patrons equal to that of the standard gauge.
 Resolved, That the rell advanta- ges of the narrow-gauge roads can not be fully compared with the standard guage roads until they can be able to reach. by extensions or connections, general distributing de- pots, until which time their advan- tages cannot be fully realized by the public.
 Resolved, That the narrow gauge road should no longer be looked upon as an auxiliary road merely because it is constructed on the three feet gauge.
 Resolved, That a narrow gauge road may be built at the present prices of labor and material, from the Mississippi or Missouri rivers to the seaboard, capitalizing upon the blsis of actual cost, and profit ably compete with the water routes for the transportation of freight. Resolved, That inasmuch az very few of the narrow gauge railways in America have an Indebtedness exceeding one halt their actual cost, and that many are projected when the companies have already secured available stock subscriptions equal to such proportion of the estimated cost, we invite the attention of cap italists to the bonds of these roads as a matter of investment, and to carefully consider the security off cred, the liability of the companies, and their ability as an earning pow CT, and that they carefully contrast the same with the standard gauge roads now in operation.
 Resolved, That inasmuch as Sc AlOuS llllS SbthtS IltlNG iCItlOloIC DCGll made in the location of line posess- ing moment, great care should be exercised in the selection of new lines, and only those should be con structed as may be actually needed, and capable of securing business commensurate with their cost, and that one of the best evidences whether certain line is needed or not in the cooperation of the pco- pie along such line, aud unless such cooperation equals at least onc-half the estimated cost thereof, this con- vention would advise great modera- ton in the deliberations of any company before entering upon such construction.
 Resolved, That the narrow gauge railroad is the road for the people that its cost comes within theil reach. and it offers to them trans. portation facility superior to thai offered by any other means.
