Poor's Manual gives the railroad capital
ization of the United States in 1870 as
1884, $50. 431, and $9.4lS, 1861 in 1900, which
is an increase of 81. 464. 41O, 24O in thirty
years. This remarkable expansion in the
capitalization Of steam railroads has no
comparison to that of electric railways
given by Anthony n. Brady in the current
issue OF the North American Review. In
1870 there was no electric line. but in 1900
the capitalization of the electric roads is
put at $9,7 5O.OOO,O 1000. In the capitalization
of both steam and electric roads there is
considerable water. but when that is taken
into consideration a vast amount of real
capital is invested in these two industries.

and what would be the result if it were?
