lection and building of new railroad
facilities IN the south at present. 1t
is practically impossible for railroads
now operating there to secure any
new money for double tracking or
the extension of ti.eir facilities. Such
railroad work as is now being done
was financed long before the present
agitation swept over the south.
Though hundreds Of millions Of dol
lars are urgently needed for new rail-
road facilities in the south it may be
stated that practically not dollar Of
new money will be available for such
work until the capitalists Of the
world are convinced that the wave of
Populism is spent.
In the meantime Mexico, which
guarantees the amplest protection to
capital, is becoming the centre Of vast
railroad and industrial operations. A
letter received a few days ago tells
me that the Hartman people alone
are planning for the building Of
about 1900 miles in Mexico, while
many other enterprises are under
way. It is estimated that more than
$7O0,OOO,OOO Of American capital is
now invested in Mexico, and it is
quite certain that with the continual
ton of present conditions this vast
sum will be tremendously increased,
to the loss Of the south and other
parts of our country. To the north
Of us Canada is pushing its railroad
work with such vim as to insure gl-
gantic development operations
throughout that country from the At
lantic to the Pacific. So great is the
call Of the world for capital that
those countries which offer the am
pies protection are found to at
tract it away from others which ma
turally may have greater advantages,
but whose people, in their blindness
to their own interests, berate the cap
italists and the corporations as the
enemies of mankind. The south may
we'll ponder great truth uttered by
one of its greatest men more than fif-
ty years ago, when in seeking to
make his people understand their fall
ure to avail themselves Of their ma
tural advantages he said:
God may have given you coal and
iron sufficient to work the splndles
and navies of the world, but they Will
sleep in your everlasting hills until
the trumpet of Gabriel shall sound
unless you do something better than
build turnpikes. You may have
granaries sufficiently stocked to feed
mankind, but mankind will starve
and perish before a bushel Of grain
can reach them.
In the everlasting hills Of the south,
in its valleys and in its mountains
there is latent wealth enough to en-
rich not only one but many empires
But unless the tide Of Populistic agl-
tation is stopped and the business
people Of the south awake to the res
possibility which rests upon them to
bury their demagogues beneath the
everlasting hills, so deep that Cab
riel's trumpet shall never reach them'
the south will not attain the full
fruition Of its potentialit'es.
