Eaxlboads is 1 the UsrtTED States.— i A total of 45,255 miles of railroad have been completed in the last forty years and are now in operation in this country, besides 15,000 additional miles which are now £in progress of (Construction. Ia a short time this list will be swollen to,. 50,000,- which, taking $44,000 as the average cdst^per mile, would make the capital invested in railroads, in this country at $2,000,000,000. The 15,000 miles of railroad which England owns cost an average of $160,000 per rnile-^ total, $2,500,000,000, while the whole of the4sjooo miles in this T3d~untry only cost $2,000,009,000. So while we have thred times as many railways as England, we have paid $500,000,000 less than what she paid for hers. In the last years, too, our earnings for the same number df miles were fully twice as much as those of our English neighbor.
