derful engineering work ever undertaken by man But wo are giving nothought much less taklnc any stepsto assure to ourselves as a nation thecommercial benefits which that workmust bring If It shall not bo a disap-pointment and a failure

Do not imagine that I have becomeafflicted with any popuHstlc antirailrond mania There is not a trnnspor-lallon authority among all the ruloisof the rail who will claim more forthe steam railroad as a factor in thodevelopment of the country pastpresent or future than I will concedeBut tho truth will not be suppressedTIle railroads always havo been hos-
