This looks like q tremendous length
of line to build, aud yet about an equal
amount Ut railway mileage witt prob
ably have been built in the year 1883
in tue United States alone, and in one
year almost double that mileage was
constructed. There is no physical i'm
possibility in the. completion of our
Anglo-Asiatic railway within very
few years, nor is the successful opera
ton ii such a line Impossible.
1t will doubtless eventually pay the
Russian government to have railway
stretching to the utmost boundary Of
lis domtniOn. and 80 Russia will per-
haps furnish the money to build the
Asiatic portion. II the people or the
governments of Canada and the Uni..

decide that the American portion OF
the line would eventually be profitable
politically and financially, they could
furnish the means to complete the gil
