SAID BY A RAILROAD NAN.

rust be of a superior quality, and the
demand for American manufacturers
began to increase and is increasing
with each day, until hundreds of cur
factories are now running night am
day, and business in the United States
was never in a more prosperous con-
dition than it is on the 21st day of
June, 1899.
1t has been said by a great Ameri-
can writer that trade follows the
flag" Our war with Spain has placed
our flag upon the Islands of the Pa
cific, directly in the natural track be-
tween the Pacific coast of the United
States and Japan and China, and as we
contemplate our growing commerce
with these old nations we are remind
ed of the prophetic statement made at
the completion of the first continuous
line of railroad between the Atlantic
and Pacific oceans, by the joining of
the Union and Central Pacific rail-
roads, more than thirty years ago, by
that prophet of his time, Thomas II.
Benton, who, standing on the summit
of the Rocky Mountains and pointing
toward the Pacific ocean, said: There
is the East; there is India" Mr..
President, since the meeting at Lake
George, four years ago, the fortunes
of war have placed the United States
in the front rank among the powers
of the world and we can no more shirk
the responsibility which these events
have brought on lis as a nation, than
we can shirk our responsibility as pri-
vate citizens.
There are some who seem to think
that we might get along without trade
with China, and that it is a new fan
gled notion that Chinese trade can es-
pecially benefit the United States.
Commerce with China is much older
than many suppose, for it began lis
years ago, the first vessel sailing from
New York on Washington's birthday,
in the year 1774. This vessel returned
to New York May II, 1775. The sue
cess of the venture was such as to war
rant its repetition, and from that day
to this, trade between the United
States and China has continued with
out material interruption, until it is
now greater in Importance and value
than that of any other nation trading
with China, with the single exception
of Great Britain. If We are to continue
as one of the great nations of the
world, we can hardly afford to ignore
country that comprises one-twelfth
of the land area and nearly one-fourth
of the population of the globe.

The admiration of foreign nations
for us is not by any means confined
to railways. One incident that startled
the entire world, and riveted the at
tention of thinking people everywhere
to American achievements in machin-
cry, was that of the United States bat
tleship Oregon" built at the Union
Iron Works in San Francisco, and
which steamed distance of more than
half round the globe, without loosening
bolt or starting a rivet, and arrived
at her post off the island of Cuba pre-
pared to perform any service required
of her; and then having given a most
satisfactory account of herself on that
memorable Sd of July, 1898, off Santi-
ago, she steamed back to the Pacific.
and without unnecessary delay crossed
that great ocean to join Admiral
Dewey's fleet at Manila. On her arriv-
al there the Secretary CT the Navy re-
ceived one of those condensed mes
sages, for which the admiral-who has
shed undying luster upon the name Of
the American navy-is so noted. which

In this connection it will be inter-
esting to note in passing that the sec
ond American locomotive was built at
the West Point Foundry, near Cold
Spring, on the Hudson river. and was
called the Best Friend" and from
that day to this the locomotive has
been one of the best friends of all our
people. But it is not alone our loco
motives that have attracted the atten-
ton of foreigners who have visited
our shores, our railway equipment gem
orally has commanded admiration and
is now receiving the highest compli-
ment, namely, imitation by many of
our sister nations. Prince Michel Hill
koff, Imperial Minister of Railways of
Russia, has, since his visit to the
United States a few years ago, con-
structed a train on much the same
lines as the New York Central's Lake
Shore Limited. Only a short time ago.
at the request of enc of ne
Imperial Commissions of Ger
many, the New York Central
sent to Berlin photographs of the
interior and exterior of our finest cars
and other data in relation to the opera
ton of American railways Several
other countries have asked for similar
information and there is a general
waking up of foreign nations on the
subject of transportation, brought
about mainly by the wonderful achiey-
ments of American railways.

George H. Daniels, general passenger
agent Of New York Central and Hud-
son River Railroad, recently delivered
an address before the New York Press
Association. Among other notable
things. he said:
-Four years ago l predicted that ac-
tive efforts toward the extension Of
American commerce by commercial
bodies, supported by a liberal and
broad-minded policy On the part OF
our government, would undoubtedly
secure to the United States the bless
ings that come from great and varied
commerce, and | said that the New
York Press Association, and similar
associations all over the country, could
stimulate public spirit that would in
sure the important results outlined.
At that time we had no idea that a
war between one of the old nations of
the earth and our young republic
would be fought; at that time we had
no idea that American manufacturers
would be furnishing locomotives to the
English railroads, as we'll as japanese,
and no one thought four years ago that
American bridge builders would go IN
to the open market and successfully
compete for the building of great
steel bridge in Egypt; nor that in so
brief a time American engineers would
be building railroads into the interior
of China from the most important sea-
ports and furnishing locomotives by
the score to nearly every country on
the globe. In letter from friend in
Toxic, Japan, written only short time
ago there was this significant sem
tence: you will be interested in
knowing that / have hanging on the
wall of my Office framed picture of
your Empire State Express and we
expect in the near future to be haul
ing Japanese Empire Express with
an American locomotive" They have
now in pan nearly 100 locomotives
that Wee built in the United States.
In Russia they have over 400 of our
locomotives, and nearly every railroad
in Great Britain has ordered locomo-
tives from this country since the be-
ginning of the war with Spain.

Sometime ago We contended IL
oposition to the sguexation of Lex
ington to R;chland county that
should it take place, Lexington
county would have to pay for the
bridges across the rivers either by 8
municipal tax Or by a bonded debt,
because Columbia had exceeded the
S per cent constitutional limit and
therefore could not bond herself
another cent. The State, in it,
issue of October 81 in an article
over the head of "To Unshakle Co
lumbia," vertically acknowledges the
correctness of our position. I
wants the Legislature to submit to
the people an amendment to Section
5 of Article X of the Constitution, 80
as to give municipal corporations to
issue bonds for certain purposes,
such as waterworke, sewage, etc.
