He has con- nected that railroad at one end with a fleet of vessels that carry American products to the Orient, and bring back the trade of the Orient to the North- west, and to the whole nation, and at the other end with shipping facilities by water to the Atlantic seaboard—all of this, too, without a dollar of bonus or the semblance of a subsidy. to the resources of the country for the traffic to justify extension, he has en- tered every section that needed trans- portation facilities, and constructed, often at a loss to himself, lines into sparsely-settled and unproductive com- munities. During all the years of rail- road -building, there has been a regu- lar, marked reduction of freight tariffs, according as the volume of traffic in- creased and warranted it, and a uni- form disposition to make temporary sacrifices for the permanent improve- ment of the country . In view of this record, and in recogni- honorable and upright course of James J.
