Helper, we'll known as the author OF
the "Impending Crisis" has been
identified for some jears with a plan
for a railroad to connect all three
Americas North, Central and South |
-iu one commercial confederacy. |
Through excursion trains could be
run from New York to summer resorts
in the Andes, and Rio Janeiro could
get its genuine Paris bonnets and
authentic French champagnes direct
from the makers in Division street and
the Bowery. A bill on the subject
has heen introduced in the house OF
representatives by Mr.. Bedford, whose
disposition is as sanguine as the color
of his hair. But it does not seem
that he has been too hopeful in this
matter. The task probably presents
no greater difficulties of engineering
than the construction of the Pacific
railroads. and SO good al authority as
Mr.. Evarts suggests in letter to MIR.
HELPER that the only defect in his
plan is that is that it is not compre-
j. hensiVe enough MIR. Evarts says:
