was not allowed to- navigate his
steamboat on the Hudson River,
where an exclusive franchise had
been given, but he could stem
down the Bay, around Staten Is
land, up the Raritan River to
New Brunswick, and from there
transfer passengers and goods to
the Delaware River at Trenton,
where another steamboat would
take them to Philadelphia.
Cornelius Vanderbilt and his
wife opened a hotel at New
Brunswick, raised eleven child
rem, and laid the foundation of
the greatest fortune in all Ameri-
ca for the next 100 years. And the
Vanderbilts have hung on to most
of it ever since.

= But his son, William H.. who
had stayed home on Staten Is
land, had a different idea. The
railroad wanted to bridge it's
tracks from Perth Amboy across
the Island to the upper harbor of
New York. William H. Wander
bilt surprised his old father by
becoming the president of a pro-
fitable railroad running through
the old family farm.
The old man stuck to stem
boats, and ran his lines up the
Hudson from New York to AL
bany. Then some smarts promot-
ers ran railroad up the river.
That hurt the steamboat business.
Cornelius Vanderbilt got mad
enough to 60 into the railroad
business with his son. They built
another road up the Harlem VAL
ley to Chatham, with a branch
line over to Albany, and got a
franchise for bridge across the
river. That was the beginning of
Am erica's greatest railroad sys-
tenn.

WEALTH criticised
I hear radicals and disconted
people criticizing everybody who
has ever made any money in de-
veloping the resources of Amer
ca. Such people ask why the
wealth so developed should not
be distributed equally among ev-
erybody. The answer to that as I
see it, is that when a man like
old Commodore Vanderbilt, gets
an idea, spends his own money to
see if it will work, and if it
works, charges people
