One of the most interested and anxious
men in Washington this week has been
the Hon. Hinton Rowan Helper, ex-Con-
sui to Buenos Ayres and author of the
celebrated ante betlum work, "The In
pending Crisis,'' and more recently Origi-
nator of the project for uniting by rail-
road Northern, Central and Southern
America. ssThe Three Americas Railway
he calls it. 1t is, in brief, plan fer a
railway line reaching from the southern
portion of South America to connect with
the railway system of the United States.
For seventeen years this man, whose
work, "The Impending Crisis" probably
did more to bring on the war which
liberated the slaves than any other work
except that of Mrs. Stowe, has been re-
volving this project in his mind, putting
it in shape and impressing itupon the pub
lie. Like all men with great ideas, he has
been all his life ahead of the times.
For seventeen years, ever since his re-
turn from his position as Consul at
BuenOs Ayres, which he resigned, after
asking in vain to be relieved, he has given
his thought and time and money to the
colossal project of the ''Three Americas
Railway "My original PLAN" he said,
talking to your correspondent, twas a
single railway line reaching from Hud-
sons Bay to Patagonia. | have been con-
tent to modify it materially, however, be-
cause American enterprise has already
accomplished nearly half the work. Not
only is this country gridironed with rail-
ways, but now, thanks to American en-
terprise and energy, they extend to the
City of Mexico, and are being pushed into
Central America. A railway system in
South America has been begun since my
plan for this line came to me seven
teen years ago, in fit OF sea-
sickness en- route home from
South America. / have spent thousands
of dollars and many years in trying to
get this intelligently before the public
and get some action looking toward an
accomplishment OF the work. At last my
efforts have been recognized to some eX-
tent at least by an addition to the con-
sular and diplomatic bill providing for
the appointment of three commissioners
to visit the governments OF Central and
South America to gather facts and figures
and expression of views which may open
the way for nearer commercial relations
between the United States and those gov
ernments. This, if adopted, | consider
the opening wedge which shall bring
about nearer commercial relations and
add millions to our commerce with those
countries, and finally, perhaps in my
time, if not in that of the generation
which shall follow, in the contraction of
the Three Americas Railway"
