democratic party to the Silver Trust and
who originated the deal by which Iho com

based tholr hopes of success upon carrying

purpose to cut loose from the east nnd form
nn Invincible alliance between the south and

It la announced that one of the leadlni
wcflttrn rallroadH has decided to establlsl
au Industrial department , which will lent
practical aid to all legitimate enterprise :
Jn the territory ojong KM line , and adjua
freight rates for the purpose of faltering
industries and promoting the dovclopmcn
of the country ThU Is not a strictly phllan
throplc proposition , of course The road ox
pect.s to profit by It In the way of Incrcaset
local business , which must naturally follow
the Increased prosperity of the people thus
assisted It Is a new policy , however , so
far ns the west Is conceincd end the re
milU will bo awaltid with a good deal o
IntercHt. The western lines are Generally
operated with principal reference to the
through tralllc I'crhapa thU la In some * degree
greo a necessity , when the existing difference
once of tonnage between trie through tralllc
and the local trnfilc la considered , but I
certainly tends to retard and discourage tin
development of the territory through which
a road passes by subordinating the Inleres
of small comiminltk.s to a scheme that takes
account mostly of the competition for the
large amounts of freight that are trans
ported for long distances
There Is rtason to believe that the e roads
might greatly Increase their local traffic
and make It In tlmo worth more thin the
through trafllc. The Kngllsh roads are
operated with a view to building up busi
ness at all i > olnta that they touch , and they
find It profitable to cultivate friendly rela
tions with all sortr ) of local enterpriser
There. Is at least one road In the United
States the I' < mns > lvanla which has nlvvnjs
pursued this policy , and Its officials are able
to hoist that If It had nothing but Its local
tralllc to handle. It would still earn hand
some dividends The western country Is
not jet mifllclently advanced to give Imme
diate promise of such a result ; but that
only nervcH to emphasize- the importance
of using all possible means to stimulate
local trade and production livery new
Industry that Is started , or every present
one that la fcstcied on the line of a rail
road menus a permanent addition to the
kind of tralllc that Is In the long run
juost remunerative. It Is all very well to
struggle for the through business that must
bo divided among a number of roads , but the
local business , after all , Is best worth get
ting , because It represents profits that do
not have to Iw divided , and that are not
contingent upon an > of the vnrloua clrcum-
utanccs that govern the other kind of
traffic.

In support of his resolutions .Mr. Hitch
cock eald that heretofore , while there had

had never been organized Ho declared
that the city had Just as much power tc

it had to make John Smith build a Bldowall.
