Text Appearing Before Image:
vousness among people aboutthese great combinations, but those that are not upon a solidbasis will topple over from their overweight, and the otherswill continue and grow and bring stability to all kinds of busi-ness. The commercial man wants to know that he can safelylay down plans for six months or a year, and under such direc-tion he can safely do it, and it is a mistake to attack thembefore you are hurt. You will find greater benefits coming toyour country by supporting and aiding them rather than byabuse and opposition. New blood must take the place of old, and I bid you God-speed in your efforts. And now, my friends, in our old agethe great satisfaction to all of you and to me is to know thatour early efforts are both recognized and appreciated: thatthe old friendships acquired in trials and tribulations are stillfresh and true, and to my old friends and all of you I wish Iknew how to express to you what is in my heart, but I cannot.I can only say, I thank you with all my heart.

Dey, one of the most distinguished railroadengineers and citizens, that made the first survey across theState of Iowa from the Mississippi River at Davenport toCouncil Bluffs on the Missouri River, and to take part in thebuilding of that line to Iowa City. I think it was the firstrailroad built in the State of Iowa. I take great pleasure andgreat satisfaction in extending my greetings to my railroadcomrades of that day. It has also been my good fortune to have continued myrailroad Avork from that day to this, even including the CivilWar, f
