the undersigned feels justified in the state
ment that the presentation of agricultural
and stock products will be in every respect
superior to any previous exhibition; also
that in inventions the progress of the United
States VIII be indicated In most remark
able manner, There is also every reason TO
anticipate exhibits in large numbers from
every other nation on the globe, it being es-
tImated by practical experts that the total
number of exhibits will be not less than
50,000, divided equally between the United
states .nd all foreign nations.
1t Is proposed TO make this exhibition
specially interesting in all that relates to
manufactures by the representation of the
most important processes i'll active operation.
In comparison with these will be presented
the methods used in other countries 400
years since. Already there are indications
that nearly every State and Territory in the
Union Will be fully represented, and that
large appropriations will be made at the
approaching sessions of the different State
Legislatures. Circulars and blank applica-
tons for space will be forwarded in due
season to all intending exhibitors. The
undersigned would call upon the press of
the United States to assist in the great
international undertaking, which, if success
full, will establish the United States of Amer
lea as the first nation of the globe

an address to the Presidents, in which Wal
ker p resents his views as to the proper So
luton of existing railway problems. He de-
clares the roads should discard independent
action in initiating competitive rates; they
should relieve traffic departments from the
responsibility of making rates and should
put the whole subject of their establish
ment in the hands of a central agency, re-
sponsible directly to the President and Di-
rectors of the associated lines. In addition,
seriously consider the question of placing
the entire joint traffic to and from their
Eastern connections in charge of common
agency, either single individual or joint
stock corporation. The purpose of this
agreement would be to provide means OF
equaliZing traffic between competing lines.
Incidentally enormous expenses, he be-
lieyes, could be put to an end.
