(North American Review.)
The material facts which are hap
pening before our Very eyes are new
proofs of this, new proofs of what has
happened in all epochs and in all
countries. Let us turn. for instance,
and note the results obtained in
America by private effort as compared
with those obtained in Europe, in the
countries where the hand of the state
Weighs everywhere more or less heav-
lily and where it often exercises a posi-
tive harm. Such q comparison re-
bounds strikingly to the credit of pri-
vate initiative and to the discredit of
state interference. We first turn to
France. In France the telegraph Is a
state monopoly; in the United States
the contrary is the case. In France
there are about 100000 kilometers Of
wire. whereas in America the figures
sllrpass 2.700,000 kilometers, in taking
into account only the most important
companies. In France the telephone
was at first a private enterprise. But
the state is jealous when it sees any
body doing anything new so it monop-
olized the telephone, as it did the tele-
graph, and here is the result. In
France, with its 10000. 900 inha bitants.
there are about 10000 kilometers of
telephone wires and 232,743 tele-
phones. In the United States, statis-
tics show 22.326,OO kilometers of
