for the American people after all that
has been said in the platforms of politi-
cal parties to consider calmly, and well
weigh whether the general welfare is
the more retarded or promoted by the
concentrs tion of capital and the consol-
dated organization of great industries
which are coincident with these enor-
nous national accomplishments. The
comprehensive perspicuous minds which
have planned multitudes of industrial
combinations of the greatest magnitude
have apparently little leisure to speak or
write ON these topics, but some OF them
undoubtedly possess astonishing capacity
for clear and convincing statement. One
of these is James j. Hill who began life
as poor Canadian lad is now president

OF the North America Review he mas

l repeat for the American people to in
quire more carefully and reflect more
profoundly with regard to the effect of
these mighty consultations. Are we not
too easily driven to conclusions by parti-
san articles at times hastily written or
by the speeches of politicians made for
a purpose. Indeed are we not prejudiced
often irrevocably by a humorous souib
which a bright paragraphdst has placed
before a million minds at the SAINT mo-
ment of time. Even now how rnerciless is
the war of squib and paragraph and car
toon directed agaGst that financier
OF world reputation. Mr.. Pier
pont Morgan. We at least
should not forget the incalculable
benefits accomplished for the South by
the sighted. just. yet daring conclu-
siops of that remarkable man. The pros
perity of an agricultural community may
be generally determined by the excellence
of its roads, and the prosperity of a mod
ern state by the excellence of it's rail-
roads. Who that recalls the chaos and
ruin brought to thousands by the voting
trust of the Richmond Terminal, who
that will now contemplate the marvellous
advance of every Southern state to the
eastward of the mississippi impossible
but for the magnificent rehabilitation of
the Southern Railway, and the Central of
Georgia, will fail to accord the need of
public benefactor to this great American
financier. and to those sagacious men who
have acted with him. In economies of op-
Grafton. in constant if gradual reduction
of rates, in increased facilities and more
expensive accommodations, in firm but
respectful defensive measures against
harmful legislation. in obedience to state
law, in more uniform service for longer
distances without change of cars, in abol-
tion of short disjointed lines under Diff
ferent arrangements. in augmented ship
ping facilities. in physical perfection OF
the properties and consequent safety to
the public and in the steady increase in
value of all the securities of these great
arteries of Southern commerce the wis
dom and prescience of such men have
been indisputably shown And with what
result? Where formerly asthmatlc engines
attached to unsafe and noisome trains
through the soltudes of an impoverished
country. like a wounded snake dragged
their slow length along. now we behold
on massive rails of cleaning steel on
roadbeds of pranitic ballast successive
sections of long freight trains sturdily
steaming through a prosperous land smil-
ing with luxuriant crops. beautiful with
neat and happy homes, the chimneys OF
! great factories giving employment ia
| thousands, almost marking the miles; OF
the admiration kindles and the pulse
leaps as the limited express laden with
it's human freight glances by on its mis-
sion of progress and civilization. May
be pardoned for adding that in the deter

| ests of the South in nothing did the men
behind the movement exhibit soundel
| Judgment than in the selection of the
man to consummate their purpose and to
make rich its fruition to the people Of

Events have not verified the remark Of

would be republican or Cossack. but re
| publican and Cossack have at length met
for a trial OF strength. The guerdon OF

! shall IL be dominated by the Slav. Shall
the Pacific ocean be Russian or an An

great ocean which has been justly term
ed the theater Of events In the world:
great hereafter shall be settled, so like
wise will be the power and prestige OF
our country. We have seen that the trade
of the Orient is essential to the distribu-
ton of our surplus products. This distri'
