"It is quite wi;hin the bounds to say tlat during the next five years tills country should spend many million in the enlarge ment of Its railroad faculties.

In other words, the inflation has been backwards. I am aware that this rips a few planks out of the platforrr,s of the enterprising reformers and I fully appreciate that the effons of the reformers are commendable, but the ruler of the universe who Is supposed to have inspired the Ten Commandments, did not ext.erl It in possible to carry out the administration of tl.e earth on any different basis.
