THE FIRST AMrRIUAN RAILROAD.

The construction of the Baltimore G.
Ohio Railroad with branch leading to
Washington was begun in the early part
of Gen. ,Jackson's administration; and
1T was ridiculed by some, while Others
were positive that it would never be of
any practical use. At first the cars were
drawn by horses, and for time a car
was propelled by sails, which, with a
fair wind, made fifteen miles an hour,
but finally locomotive was constructed
and driven by Peter Cooper 1t was
combination of belts and cogs, with
blower kept in motion by cord at
tached to one of the wheels. English
locomotive builders had asserted that no
engine could be built to turn curve of
less than 900 feet, but some of the curves
on the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad were
only 200 feet, yet Mr.. Cooper's engine
ran around them.

-Theorist Mills, in visionary free
trade interview on his return from Texas,
says: "If the tariff was reduced to a
revenue basis it would put in the pockets
of the people more than thousand mil
lions Of dollars" Not in the pockets of
the American people, whose toilers
would be thrown Of employment or
forced to work at starvation wages; but
in the pockets of British trade monopo-
lists, who would soon hold mortgages
that would make us their commercial
vassals. Mills, Crisp and Springer are
all on the tory side of the conflict be-
tween free trade and protection, in which.
according to Lord Salisbury, England
stands alone against the WORLDLY. z.
