Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from American Railroads: Their Relation to Commercial, Industrial and Agricultural Interests Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the International Commercial Congress: I congratulate the United States, and every commercial country on the globe, upon the interest which this Congress has inspired, and which has secured the attendance of the representatives of commercial bodies from practically every country of the world. I also congratulate the City of Philadelphia, the greatest manufacturing city in the United States, upon the public spirited character of its citizens, who have organized and carried to a successful issue the National Export Exposition. The holding of such expositions as this, and the Pan-American Exposition to be held in Buffalo in 1901, cannot but be of great value in aiding the extension of international commerce, and the whole world is interested in its extension. An Age of Transportation. One of our great writers has said of this closing period of the nineteenth century, that it is an age of transportation. Transportation underlies material prosperity in every department of commerce. Without transportation commerce would be impossible. Those states and nations are rich, powerful and enlightened whose transportation facilities are best and most extended. The dying nations are those with little or no transportation facilities. Richest Country on the Globe, Mr. Mulhall, the British statistician, in his work on "The Wealth of Nations," said of the United States in 1895 : "If we take a survey of mankind, in ancient or modem times, as regards the physical, mechanical and intellectual force of nations, we find nothing to compare with the United States."
