VALUE OF RAILROADS TO
THE NATION

The Anglo-SaXon is not nomadic. He
has eyer been migratory, but never for
the mere love OF movement. Gain, the
betterment of conditions have always
been the impelling motive. He Is not
essentially traveller. He is a home
man. We see this and its results i'm the
old countries where generation sue
ceeds generation upon the same spots
of ground. The result is the ditferen-
tiation of men by the development of
local peculiarltieS. Languages take on
idioms; habits adapt themselves to local
conditions. Men as nation divide
into tribes: tribal fferences breed
social differences; the nation becomes
heterogeneous.
Communication prevents this crust
from forming, or breaks it if formed.
Much travel among nations makes men
cosmopolitan; travel within the nation
develops nationality: destroys provin-
cialism. Habits take on general form;
dialects and idiOms melt into common
phraseology; the neighborliness of the
locality expands to the limits of the
country.
Had the railroads Of this country run
north and south. there would have
been no civil war. Neither section
knew the other; each misconceived the
other, and misconceptions grew into
hatred. Had no railroads come to make
constant and easy the intercourse of the
people OIL either side of the Rockies.
the slope would, in time, have dropped
off into separate nation, inevitably.
1t Is the multiplication of railways run
ming on longitudinal lines that have
done more than all else to remove the
effects of the civil war, and make Mason
and Dixon's line no longer the line of
demarcation; the Northerner and the
Southerner are merged in the American
by the intermingling which the roads
have made possible.
1t is this that justifies the govern
mental Investment in transcontinental
lines, even should every dollar Of it be
lost. 1t is this which gives warrant to
the expenditure of hundred millions
by the young nation on our northern
border, without which it would be a
line of disconnected provinces, becom-
ing yearly more provincial, less ma
tional. The railways of nation are
the structural steel of the fabric, giving
to it unity, community, solidity and
strength.

TRADE CONDITIONS.

The foregoing is the caption to the
remarks of d. FL. Moon. one of st.
Paul's best.known wholesale men. He
asserts that the completion of the Great
Northern railway has already added
greatly to the volume of business of our
wholesale houses. Another writer sub
Stimulates his claim by the statement
that his house has recently opened a
great many new accounts with retailers
on the line of the Great Northern all
the way to the Pacific coast.
Mr.. Moon makes a summary of the
resources of the country traversed
by the Great Northern. speaking of the
fertile agricultural lands, the great lum-
Der regions of Minnesota, the great live
stock ranges Of North Dakota and Mon
tana. the great mining interests of Mon
tana and Idaho. which produce enor-
nous quantities of gold. the wonderful
agricultural and fruit-growing realities
and prospects of Oregon and Washing
ton. He says: 1--WE need their fruits;

ais OF the Northwest, and the grain
and live STOCK which we can offer.

THE STATES CAPIToLs.

The growth of state has many meas
ures. 1t develops on many lines, no one
Of which has the monopoly of being dis
tinctively representative of its growth.
Among the several epochal features
which mark the progress of state from
pulling Infancy to virile manhood, the
eapitols Of any state are as striking and
interesting as any. The mere make
shifts Of first settlement soon give way
to structures built to suit the present
more than the future needs. PlainneSs,
simplicity and utility bespeak poverty
which has nothing to spare for orna-
mental show.
With the prosperity which comes
from the energies devoted to the ma
teri9l development of the resources of
the young state, there comes that period
of ambitious pride which impels men to
leave the humber structures with which
they were content during the years of
struggling, and bulld for themselves
and their families statelier mansions,
COMFORTING with their hard-earned pros
perity. The doubtful period has passed,
duu Ollc 10 ltdClcu WUtU Ill6 present
means can be consulted and supplied,
and the state, sure of its present and
confident of its future, designs and
builds its capitol in keeping with its
wealth, and to meet its future needs.
This is fitting time, as the state Is
preparing to leave the building which
indicates one stage Of its development
and entering upon the construction of
grander one, to pause and review the
history of these buildings during the
short but marvellous career of the state.
In another place the readers of the
GLOBE will find an interesting and en-
Pertaining account of the early struggles
for the location of the capitol, the SUBJ
sequent efforts made for Its removal to
rival places, and the buildings in which
the sovereignty of the state has been
sheltered. The article is written by
one who was participant in all these
struggles. and who writes with facile
pen from a well-stored and retentiye
memory. Like all of the features of
this paper which celebrates this festive
occasion, this article is valuable con-
tribution to the history of the state, and
is well worth preserving as such.

THE RELATION OF RAILWAYS
TO CITIES.

The germ of the city is the cross
roads; the point whence avenues radi-
ate, to which men and traffic come. Inc
store, the blacksmith. the WheelWrlght
locate their shops there for that reason.
The little hamlet grows to the village
because the roads lead farther into the
settlements, and more people come to
the center to trade. In the Eastern
states the most of the villages are Cen
ters," with distinguishing prefixes or
suffixes. preserving in their names the
cause of their existence. The village
may develop into the city if it extends
its avenues of trade far enough. But
the law of growth of the hamlet, the
village and the city is certain and mex
orable. The population Of either will
depend on the number of people who
trade with it; whose wants it supplies.
In purely agricultural community
from eight to ten persons can live in a
village by making what a hundred
want.
In this law we find the relations and
the value of railroads to cities. Said
promoter of one of the early lines to
the people of town of whom he was
asking aid: 1.-The value of railroad to
any town, paradoxical as it may seem,
is in the facilities it affords for getting
away from the town." His paradox con-
tanned great truth. 1t is not so much
the people who come that make the city
and give it growth as it is the getting
away from the town what its people
produce. AS the railroad reaches farther
into new territory Its steel rails become
arms exacting tribute, the tribute
legitimate trade yields willingly. from
the producers along Its line for the
other producers in the city at its ter
minal. 1t enables the makers in the
cities of things men need to supply
more men at greater distances with
what they want; requiring in the cities
more men to make the things wanted.
Thus cities grow; this is the law of
their growth, fixing its limitations, and
this is the value to cities Of the rail-
roads which center in 1t.
1t is fit, therefore, for the people and
the producers of st. Paul to observe

the completion of another railroad
which. starting here, reaches out into a
new territory thousands of miles i'll ex-
tent, tapping new sources and opening
vast possibilities for the future. 1t an
nexes to st. Paul, by bonds firmer than
those forged by ancient conquest, all
other empire, and makes it reciprocailY
tributary to us. The towns and villages
and farms along its line will send us the
products of their labor. and to them we
will send ours, vastly increasing the
number of people who can find here oc-
cupation III filling the new demands for
what they can produce.
There is, then, something more than a
mere industrial display in this recogni-
ton of the completion of the Great
Northern to the Pacific. 1t signals to
the people along the line our capacity to
provide them with all their wants, and
invites them to the interchange of prod
ucts. 1t says to them ''Send us your
cereals and your cattle, your lumber and
your minerals. and we will send to you
your clothing, your imp elements, your
food supplies"
