Twelve Hundred Thousand Miles of
Wire.

Wire.
Next month the Western Union Tele-
graph Company will be half a century old.
We print the story OF it's early career, con-
densed somewhat from an article pub
lished in this weeks Telegraph Age, and
based mainly on the interesting historical
Investigations of Mr.. A. r. BREWER.
The vast system now operated by the
largest telegraph corporation in the
world under the vigorous management
of Colonel CLowRY is the product Of
successive consultations, INSCRIPTIONS Of
rival concerns, combinations in the di-
rection of monopoly. That this process
has been against the public interest we do
not think that any candid student of the
Western Unions record and present con-
dition will maintain, no matter what are
his general views on the subject Of corpo.
rate ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. The Western Union
has grown with the nation. lthas served
the people well, it has met intelligently
the increasing demands Of a progressive
civilization, it has steadily reduced the
cost of telegraphio communication, and
it is to-day one Of the finest monuments
Of American enterprise, energy. and
private ownership. We invite attention
to the circumstance that the owners Of
the stock of this corporation number
ten thousand, or about one owner and
capitalist for every three Of its thirty
thousand employees.
Congratulations and good wishes are
peculiarly due to the Western Union
from the newspapers Of the United
States, for of the printing press the tele-
graph is the handmaiden.
