Foreboding. Unjustified.
I iHut in spite of apparently well
: founded forebodings, there followed a
remarkably prompt restoration of nor
mal prosperity. The country's gross
business multiplied three-fold between
1SC0 and IUHD. Though tho popula
tion increased enormously during this
period, still on a per capita basis the
business of the country had doubled.
The shurp drop in business follow
ing the opening of the war was match
ed by a prompt recovery. Business
reached its low level in 18(!1, having
fallen off lti per cent ns compared
with the year belorc. liut hy tne next
year it had reached the old normal
level ngnin nnd passed" it. From then
on, with the exception of a slight fall
ing off in lHI'i!), there was an uninter
rupted gain until the crisis of 187:1,
which precipitated a three-year period
of depression. Then came recovery so
nipid that by 1HH0 it is estimated that
the volume of business was only 14
ncr cent per capita less

The Parallel Today.
In all this the Guaranty's analysis
finds hope for the present. Today no
small part of the world's natural re
sources lie untouched beyond the pres
ent industrial frontiers, but they will
not long remain uncultivated. Enor
mous plans for trade expansion, many
of them under way before the out
break of the great war 'are sufficient
proof of this.
These include the building of rm'l
roads from the east, west and south
into the heart of Africa; the construc
tion of a transcontinental and numer
ous shorter lines in Australia; n sub
stantial mileage opened in Siberia in
accordance with the Russian program
of 1913 for the construction of Hl.000
miles of railway in a decade nnd the
completion of Canada's second and
third transcontinental lines. Add the
recent progress of sanitary engineer
ing, which guarantees the habitability
for Caucasians of nearly every tropi
cal land, and all' point to another of
the world's recurrent periods of un
usual industrial expansion.
America, one of the war's lightest
sufferers, will share this prosperity in
an intensive growth, in the devo'.on-
ment of production at home, with n
corresponding increase of business in
the newly opened areas of the world
the shifting from war to peace bases,
nor the long downward trend in prices,
nor the rising cost of labor indeed,
not even the combination of all four
factors proved able to stay a re
markable industrial expansion.
And thi3 expansion had begun well
before the outbreak of the war. Rail
roads had passed the experimental
stage and by 1850 it was evident that
they would occupy the dominant posi
tion In inland transport. Previous to
that year only 9000 mjlcs of railway
had been constructed in this country
but in the following decade 21.000
miles were added. While most of the
new mileage was in the older sections,
east and south, some lines were push
ing, westward. Kails reached Chicago
in 185.1, St. .Louis in 1855. and the Mis-,
nouri river in the northwest three
years later.
New Fields Open to Business.
Gold discoveries in California in
1848 rather stimulated industrial en
terprise and materially hastened the
than it would I westward movement of population and
ministry. - -
There was a great expanse of ter
ritory, rich in natural resources and
responding in development to the
rapid extension of railroads. The
population had more than doubled in
a generation. Farm products, manu
factures and exports each hbd doubled
