GREAT RAILROAD DEALS.
[Baltlmlore American, 1

The railroad situations in this country
Is reaching a peculiar climax which
promises to list 1t as one OF the most
Important experimenting periods in the
history OF American enterprise. A very
short while ago we were reading
much about the value OF THE commune
idea, with its conse-
quent harmony of action. Railroad men
seemed to be facilitating themselves on
the outlook for unity OF action, stability
of rates and absence of injurious rival
ship. The adjusting process was pre-
sumed to have so euuitably balanced
the division of trade terri,ory that each
individual railroad system would re-
main content with the development Of
Its possessions.
All at once, however, there has
sprung into existence an aggranGizing
passion which exposes to view the SCI
cret purposes of the railroad magnate.
1t looks now as IL the "community-o
interests, idea had become the coil in
which is terminating a more gigantic
| type of rivalry. The gradual acquire
ment of neighboring systems by such
companies as the Pennsylvania. the
Great Northern and the like has excited
a more extended ambition. the object of
which is now of so much interest to the
public generally. The reality of this
ambition and the fact that 1t has been
stealthily planning for the achievement
of its ends, became an obvious revela-
| tion to even an amateur observer when
the Great Northern Northern Pacific
Burlington dealwas consumated. That
project demonstrated that the so-oa1led
ing worked with the view of organizing
big transcontinental systems.
The Burlington deal precipitated the
fight for supremacy little earlier than
was expected, because its acomplish-
mend completely upset the railroad
equilibrium in that locality. Instantly
the quiet, half concealed efforts on the
part OF other eastern companies to
bring about this selHsame long cher
ished plan broke into an active, agrees
sive coup. Systems which hitherto
have reached half way across the coun-
try are now aspiring to reach the Pa
cific as their only satisfying western
terminus. 1t is that aspiration which
promises to produce some radical
changes in the. country's railroad situa-
ton Rivalry is already in existence
and it will not be allayed until the pres
ent broken cross-country systems are
linked into several large. continuous,
but non-entering transcontinental sys-
TENS. When that sequel Is established
and a renewed ''community-of- Inter
sests prevents price cutting or severe
lcompetition. then will railroading in
America be on vast empire-like scale.
indeed.
This anxiety TO weld different lines
into oss-continental systems arises
Isfronu the growing prospect of an i'm
mense Pacific trade With the Orient.
Such trade means the transportation
of millions of dollars worth of goods
from the cast to the far west for pur-
poses of export. IT is likely TO prove
a paying traffic, hence the wild desire
| of railroad men to controlit.
