PLEA FOR THE RAILROADS.

i
Not long ago one of the leadins
railroad managers startled the worlc
by saying that the railroads of the
United States would require $1,000
100000 year for five years, for inn
rrovement and extension work. AS q
matter OF fact. says Henry Clews
this amount has already been much
exceeded. and now comes another
manager who asserts that American
railroads will require $500. OO0. 900 an
nually for the next eight years. But

commissions are also in good demand
