Railway Enterprises.

IN connection with a published esti-
mate showing that about 10000 miles of
new railroads will probably be con-
structed in this country during the ensu-
ing year, the Baltimore Sun recalls "The
Great Railway Mania Day ia England :
NOV. 80, lS45-''a day on which madness
Tor speculation arriN ed at its height, fol-
lowed by collapse terrible to many
thousands Of families" and says: "There
are many conservative Americans day
anXiously asking the question, will "The
Great Railway Mania Day in England re-
peat itself in this country p"
We think not. The conditions are dis
similar. England was then an old coun-
try; it was not attracting emigrants 10y
hundreds of thousands yearly it had no
new and fertile lands which settlers could
procure for song; nor had it the Ameri-
can spirit Of enterprise which is ready to
grasp and utilize increased railroad facil-
tiles. 50 long as this country continues to
attract emigration as now; so long as it
has unOccupied lands suited to agricul-
turc, and mineral resources undeveloped
50 long will there be demand for new
railroads. That a sudden monetary
stringency may bring disaster upon en-
terprises predicated on the present pie
thora Of money is probable.
When Jay Cooke failed in 1873, the
Northern Pacific railroad, of which he was
the chief promoter, was denounced as a
visionary scheme that could never be car
ried into execution, and the sale Of its
bonds was pronounced an outrageous
swindle. Yet, despite many drawbacks,
the road has been pushed forward, has
opened up Il rich and heretofore inacces-
sible country, and built up as it prog
ressed Il profitable business for itself.
This country has not done growing, and
until it has, although an easy money
market may cause its wants to be fore
stalled i'll some degree, there will be need
for new railroads.

\ Canadian View of the Message.

The Ottawa Daily Free Press, publish
ed at the seat OF government Of Canada,
compliments the Presidents message gen
orally but thinks that had the policy adj
vocated toward Mexico been applied in
the message towards Canada it would be
much more in accordance with broad
craftsmanship The financial exhibit it
regards as a little short Of astonishing.
The possibility of wiping out our public
debt in ten years, coupled with the re
commentators Of the President for abOl-
iShlng internal revenue taxes, leads the
Free Press to contrast the condition of
the Dominion with that of this country
1t says "ln Canada we see our public
debt increasing at an enormous rate, and
our internal revenue as large as the peO-
pie can possibly bear AS this country
is even now attracting thousands from
Canada. the Free Press asks what Will be
the result, when to present Inducements
are added freedom from internal taxa
