J REMARKS OP Dl. CHAS, I, BUCKfILEW, In the Senate of Pennsylvania, ou Wednesday evening. March 16th. 1370, upon tho Bill to fa ollltitothe construction of certain Railroads by exchanging the Securities In tho Sinking !• uud for new and inferior obligations. Mr. Bi’HAKuh : r take early occasion m the projress of tins debate to state briefly my reasons for voting against this bill. As my voice is not in good condi tion, T shall be compelled to solidt tbe indulgence of tbe Speaker and of’tbe Seriate, while I attempt to slate those reasons. They are three in number; the first is that this bill lakes out of the sinking fund no less a sum than six thou sand dollars, put there under a provision of the Constitution of this Common wealth, and pledged to remain there uptil it shall be taken therefrom for the purpose of being applied to the payment of the public debt, and to be applied to no other purpose whatever. My second objection to this bill is that it impairs thp security of the Commonwealth for the final payment of| tills debt which is now owing toms-from the Pennsylvania Railroad Company. Wo are to discharge that wealthy and powerful corporation from all responsibility to ns'upon tbe bonds which we hold against her, and are to take, instead of them, the ! bonds of a tail road corporation whose road is not yet constructed, and whoso future prosperity and solvency is pro blematical, and about which we have no to give iVp f ?nM ? n f debtor, a powerful corporation, whose future solvency is reasonably certain, mid we are to take the bonds of a corporation whose road is nnbnilt and whose future is unknown. ; Mr. OLMSTED, The construction, of the road.is to be guaranteed before there is any delivery of the bonds. ,Mb. BUCKALEW, I am coming lo that. The Senator need not apprehend that I shall state the claimsof this bill unfairly, because I have .-no hostility against the improvement proposed, nor have I against the gentlemen who are particularly interested in its construction and in the passage of the bill. Wo are to have guarantees, however; and what are they? \Vhy, they are these: the Pennsylvania Railroad Com pany, and .the Northern Central Railroad Company, ami the Philadelphia and Erie Railroad Company, are to guarantee to the State that the road shall be built within three years from the passage of this bill, and that during that period,of time—during the construction of tiio road —the payments of interest provided m this bill should be made by this corpora tion whoso bonds wo take. Now, sir, I understand that to bo the whole scope of the guarantee . But from the time when tlio luud cUtvll bo fully wv»wntr«ctcO, IlOVV ever imperfectly that may be—nud we have no guarantee, that it shall be well done —from that moment all claim and security which the Commonwealth holds against the Pennsylvania Railroad Com pany will bo entirely discharged,.' the guarantee will be discharged, and we are to look to this new corporation alone. Successive payments after 1874 are to be made of $lOO,OOO down to 1800, and other portions of the principal are to be paid in 1891,1892 and 1893, and the final payment in 1894. I repeat, then, that ray second objection to this bill ia'that it impairs the security of the people of Pennsylvania that his debt of six millions of dollars which is duo to them shall be paid ac cording to the terms of the contract which has been made. Lastly, *Mr, Speaker, this bill postpones the payment of this money, ami postpones it in a very material degree. In 1801, we made a con- 1870 tract with t]ie Pennsylvania llailfnad Company, by which we discharged her from the payment of tonnage tax, for the .payment of which she was liable by her charter, the contract extending back into former limes, beyond the recollection of many persons now in this chamber. A condition vf.aa imposed upon that corpo ration, when the road was constructed, that she should pay duties to the Com monwealth upon the business she did, as a sort of protection to the State against the competition of a new railroad im provement with the public works J,hat has been made and were owned by the Commonwealth. Time passed on until 1861, when the Pennsylvania Ilailroad Company came forward and agreed to pay $640,000 per annum, upon her iu- debtednes to the State, until the year "JBDofWheirth<y-fematader—the-comjwra- tiveiy small part of the principal wliich would be still due—was to be paid. Now, then, by this bill, you extend ment for three or four years, But, what is more; material, you postpone the pay ment of the principal which would be paid by the Pennsylvania Railroad Com pany under the law of 1801; you postpone the payment of a great part of it until the year 1800, so that.tho people of the State cannot realize the moneys duo-to them, and they cannot be applied to the public Indebtedness, under the sinking fund laws, 'as soon as they would bo if this bill should not pass. In other words, assuming thatpll these moneys will come into the. treasury—which I insist is not certain under this bill—dt is unques- tionable that the payment of the debt due to us imil to become due Is to bo post poned by this bill, and postponed very greatly, - withbntauy consideration what ever. We aie to release the Pennsylva nia Railroad Company from an obliga tion which X suppose to he worth hun dreds of thousands of dollars, and per haps millions. Of course the comm-'r clal value of such an obligation is one which X am not competent to estimate. I say that that corporation is to be dis charged from. that obligation by the terms of this bill. All claims and c’o mauds against her are to ho extinguished by this bill; our securities against life to be passed over to Jersey Shore,* Pine Creek and Buffalo Railroad Company ami the Pennsylvania Railroad Compa ny is to respond to that corporation here after, uftd not to the State. Why should wo surrender these? Why should wo discharge this obligation against -o solv- flWfal. ent company, perfectly able to respond to us, am] one that wo tuny‘suppose to be perfectly willing to keep to her contract’ of 1801—a contract for a valuable consid eration— involving a just demand upon her under the law ? . I do pot propose 19 enlarge upon the improvidence of this measure. X take it for granted that this new road leading from Buffalo into the forests of our north ern counties, and to bo connected with* the Philadelphia and Brio railroad at Jersey Shore, and to obtain connections, I in short, with all the central and eastern lines of railroad which have been con structed'in our State, is to be, ami will bp, an important and valuable feeder to the PhiladelphiaVind Erie, the Northern Central and the Pennsylvania Railroad Companies, and that they can well afford to take upon themselves the slight guar antees provided by Ibis bill, and, in fact, to respond to the demand for that im provement. They aiedirectly interested in its being made, and any ellort or sacri fice which they can make for the purpose of securing the completion of'that*road will probably to them in rich and abundant results in the prosperity’ of their own lines. Now, therefore, there is no reason, I assume, in tho nature of the case, why the Pennsylvania Railroad Company should be diroharged from the obligations of the act of 1861- to the Commonwealth— no reason w;liy the money now due or to become due to the people of this State (because,when paid into thq treasury it is their money)—no reason why payment of that money, is to he applied to the public indebtedness, should be post poned, us it will be for long periodsitof time and for largo amounts, under the operation of this bill. I repeat, X do not propose to discuss the merits of this measure at length. I pro ■ test again that X am influenced by no feelings of hostility to this improvement. I desire Very much to see it made. I would be willing to make some sacrifice of opinion or of feeling in order to secure tins Interesting improvementto the conn* tics of the North. Of course I do not. speak of these Western roads tacked on heie as addenda to the bill or rather as a ; tail, so to speak, to the main kite: I know little of their merits, ami will not attempt to discuss thorn, as I might do them injustice. , X do not propose to on largo npon the improvidence of this bill, nor to exhibit any of those feelings of antipathy and bitterness which spring np'aomethnes in debate, but which are inappropriate in -considering a measure or this magnitude, affecting such Vast in terests, touching every man-who toils in this State and who pays taxes in this State, as well as those giant enterprises in railroad management which have grown up amongst us, and which I grant yon are among the proudest achieve ments of our people. I turn back to the first and material question. Is.not tin's fund- already de voted to a particular object by the Con stitutional Amendment of 1857, and have we power to take it from under the opera tion of that amendment, and of the jaws that have been passed In pursuance thereof and demote it to another purpose ? What is that amendment? I shall be brief in stating it, because to state it is to conclude the argument: -Words* added to the mere statement of the case, are idle.and to no purpose. By the amendmentwhich was drawn by me in 1850, and concurred in by every member of the then Senate, it was provided that no greater amount of public indebtedness should be created .Slate, than JesTln time, of war or iava»i™!)- u L H o£»e which has since arisen, but which we may hope may not again, at least soon', arise. But that went but a small way, in order to secure us for the future against the improvident management of our public affairs. The amendment goes on io provide Hint a sinking fund shall be established for the gradual payment and extinguishment of the public debt of the Commonwealth, which was then nearly forty millions, a huge sum and a great burden, which it was desired to liquidate as soon as possible, thereby relieving the people. Wo provided in that amend ment, (which was adopted by the people by an almost unanimous vote), that cer tain sources of rovenuoand certain objects of value should be'irrevocably devoted to that fund. Among, other things, the revenues of the public works of the State held and owned by the Stale, were to be put Into the .sinking fund, and then, sir, the proceeds—l quote the exact purport —the proceeds of the sales of the public works, as they might he made under au thority of law, were also to be paid iulo that fund, together with such other objects of income or revenue as might bo designated by’ law, and the Legislature, at its first session after the adoption of that iimpiuluiont. \uuu to uiiaoU law tablishlng the machinery necessary for this sinking fund and provide tho proper agents for its-practical vvorkingand man agement. And then, sir, what more? — because I come now to the material chflise of that Amendment': It was provided that no part of. the said sinking fund should be used or applied otherwise than in the extinguishment of the public debt. Now, Mr. Sneaker, if I were called upon at this moment to write a clause to condemn this billand prevent its passage, I do not know tlmftho English language would nflord me more apt and conclusive •words than these to exclude all pretence of power in the Legislature to pass tins bill: “No part of said; sinking fund shall be used or applied otherwise tlmii in tho extinguishment of tho public debt.” Here, sir, you propose to use that fund, to build railroads through tho for ests of M’lCenn, in tho county of Erie, and among the hills and valleys of Greene! The North, the West, and tho South-west, are to he reached by statute, and roads are to spring up there, ypon what foundation ? by what, means? By these means in tho. sinking fund, put there by constitutional injunction, placed there by statute, covered there by words as strong as tho English language con tains In any lexicon ever written, and sacred from and untouchable by legisla tive power! And yet, sir, this bill is to pass. These words X utter licrerq (which are simply, 1 repeat, words of sincerity and not oX malevolence against this measure oragainst the men concerned In it) these words of mine will go for nought.

AH those public considerations, which ought to speak in trumpet-tones to us, will bo put aside or disregarded. And why? .

I do not think, Mr. Speaker, that much good Is ordinarily dope by denouncing clamoiously, and violently, supposed corruption in high places of political power, I think that indiscriminate Renunciation docs more injury than it can possibly do good, for it creates in the minds of the people the impression that all government Is un sound qiu| (hat human nature is utterly { CARLISLE, PA., THURSDAY, APRIL 14, 1870 Mr. Hardeman: Mr. Chairman, it was not my purpose lo say anything upon the laiifF hill. 'The debate has been so long and tedious that it was intention to abstain from speaking, and rely upon my vote for an explanation of my principles ami views; hut the brilliant speech of the gentleman from Hew York-[Mr. Cox 1 who has asajiiled the Pennsylvania dele gation as-a body, ami the remarks of my * colleague, [Mr. Woodward,] who, by rea son of high position in. the State, might be supposed to speak authoritatively for the Democratic members from Pennsyl vania,'have determined me to very brieily put. on record the principles which con trol my action and vote. . The gentleman from Hew York city, when he so indiscriminately attacked the Representatives of Pennsylvania, forgot the humiliation which lias within a’fort night past been brought upon the Demo cracy of the •country by the miserable quarrels at Albany over the spoils of our commercial metropolis. Pie forgot that New York city no more represents the Democracy of this country than Ham burg, Brerhem Revel, or-any of the old ntries 5 * upon'*‘WYiU,o edge they were -situated. New. York ismir chiefeat sea port, whore are collected great intelligence and vast wealth; but its heart..doos not beat In unison with the popular heart of this land. On the contrary, by the ac cumulation of vast wealth, (the necessary consequence of, our present swindling financial system interlacing banks and tariff and internal revenue in one gigantic . cheat of labor and the masses for the cap italist) the prominent men of New York have become the wilting or unwitting exponents of that policy which would change-the noblejdmplicity of republican government into tho false glitter of mis erable imperialism. New York city, with her Tammany and her rings, her railway princes and her.bond nabobs, has nothing in common with the sturdy integrity and old fash ioned devotion to free government which characterize the great mass of Pennsylva nia voters. Pennsylvania is the Keystone State more than in name. When her earoful-thinkiug people speak, policies ur administrations are upheld or changed. When that great Commonwealth issues her decision, the same controlling cur rent, deep down and beyond the read of politicians, mysteriously extends to Ohio and Indiana, and an authoritative. in renuorea ny a robust common sense which is not Influenced by the pratlngs of demagogues nor jfho schemes of reckless revolutionists. Sly distinguished colleague [Mr. .Wood ward] I understood to assume that there is no principle involved in this bill; that it is a game of grab, and that h'o conse quently is warranted iti seeking to obtain as much for his district in the scramble as possible. I will uotsay that, like the -genii of the Arabian Nights, he has con tracted u collossnl figure and shut if up within the limits of a single district, as though in the fabled casket from the sea, for that might ho invidious; but I bold that ho lias been betrayed into tho em ployment of some phrases which are or dinarily used by the supporters of a pro hibitory tariff, which lead' logically to some one of tho forms of paternal gov ernment that protect everything—labor, capital, industrial pursuits, and all avoca tions, until they have protected the say, manhood, and independence out of the people. But there is in my Judgment a great principle involved in the discussion and treatment of this bill, and that is the principle' of reducing taxation and un- necessary public burdens. To be sure the measure presented by the Committee of Ways and Means is an incongruous piece of most curious mosaic. The dif ferent lobbies that have crowded about these Halls seem to have one after the other added their fragmentnutil thostone picture is anything else ttuyi creditable to tho committee. Sound principles of taxation do not seem to have been con sidered, but extreme deference apparently Ims been paid to the various Interests which have successively been here repre- sented, all except that one great uncom- plaining ana unorganized -interest which is the sufferer from all such bills. I mean ♦he agricultural interest apd the general mass of the people. There does not seem to have yet arisen on the other side of the House (my friends on this side are powerless to originate and mould a measure,) a statesman who has studied the true principle of taxation, and like another Sir Robert Peel, can grasp this whole vast financial subject. With currency ami taxation, tariff and banks, intimately connected together, acting and re-acting upon each other as they do, no statesman on this floor or at the other end of the capital, so far as I know, has ever sought by careful Investigation to ascer tain wbat Is the just proportion which each class or occupation or profession should bear of the public burdens. Why cannot we do Ukt the arbitrary proprietor of some island, surrounded by numerous tenantry of every degree of rank and fortune—men of wealth enjoy- ing wide domains, farmers of more mod erate means, traders dwelling in towns, aud laborers of all grades of skill anil earning—from whom he draws annual rents for the lands and houses, out of which Is defrayed the whole expenses of government, of the military forces, of ships of war, of the civil administration of justice ? Would ho not, as a wise and just ruler, having no other interests than the interests of tho whole body of his people, ascertain by every means in his powei that all his tenants were paying lair aud equitable routs and taxes, which were exactly proportioned to the amount of their possessions, tho proportionate amount of protection which they conse- degtaded, that our institutions cannot ana do not work well, and possibly may Jay the foundation of opinion and scnti ment for their ultimate abrogation, for Biv n ff t]iem up, and for substituting in their pine® other institutions supposed to be better calculated for the government or men who have become too base to gov ern themselves. Therefore I think it is i expedient to dilate too much and too often upon the evils and corruption of intbhc hfc. When I would speak upon these subjects, I would speak when the speech can bo followed by a blow bv punishment which shall teach a whole some lesson to the doers of evil. Sir I am admonished by facts which have re cently occurred that ti*is is not a time to punish or oven to investigate the con duct of ofllcial delinquents. A public officer, who has managed the treasury of the people, and who by your Governor himself is charged with misconduct (along with others,) is at this moment contumacious before your authority and your power, and, sir, you are unable-to call him to account; you daro not bring him to your bar and submit to him an open question, in plain language, about his administration of the,public moneys of the people which lie was employed to manage and administer under the Jaws of.the State. You do not even insist that you shall have some little gleams of truth from a witness, through a coin mil teo, so that the people shall know 'yl:at has bo done in high public posi tions. With this fresh lemon in* our winds, 1 ihinfc.it unnecessary/ to appeal to fnrjh moral 'considerations against- the oassage of this bill. I Insist, therefore mainly upon the three great objections )olore mentioned as more than'sufficient :o condemn the bill and to justify myop positlon to its passage. And now, sir, having vindicated my own position, I shall leave to every other member the personal responsibility of his own course ami his own vote, THE TARIFF. SPEECH OF HON. It. J HAI.DE3IAN, OK PENNSYLVANIA, -In the House of JirpresentatUrs, IMarch 29,1870. The House, being In Committee of the Whole nuu having under consideration the bllI(H, H* V°,* 1 **()•<) to amend existing laws relative to the duly on imports, and for other purposes qUently enjoy, and their consequent abi lity to bear this just share of the burdens of the State? •There Is an absence of principle In this bill. It is a heterogenous compound.— But there is a principle involved in the opposition to it, which is the reduction of our external taxation, just as there was in the reduction of our internal taxation. Ihe reduction of the latter has partially been effected; the reduction of the former I must follow. One word expresses the policy and principle which will oontro* my votes, namely, reduction. I am in favor of a reduction of the tariff ; of fur ther reduction of internal revenue taxa tion; but above all and before ail I.am in favor of a sweeping reduction of expeu-. diture. lam in favor of reduction of the tariff, of internal revenue taxation, and expenditures, because they are sapping the foundations of republican government.— >ou have now a broad system of taxes currency, bonds and hanks, which result I! 1 *? te >9£ 90 h| l? h Apoii capital that the life blood is being drained from the industrial classes and the mass of the people. And by oppressive taxation, in addition to the other causes I have named, such vast sums of money are accumulated in thegreatciti.es that, directly or indi-ectly you necessarily play into• the hands of speculators and capitalists. It may be laid down, too, ns an axiom, that a large surplus must render prolligetc In expen diture all yourhi.-h officials. Thocbair man of 3’oar Committee on Appropria tions mhy.B6ek to cut down expense-/ and fnvo *20,000,000 or $30,000,000 upon bills as they pass this House, with a probability of. the .Senate non-concurring, but you cannot stop the expenditure of unexpen ded*balances, which, according to the statement and proof of the able and ac curate gentleman from-Kentucky, l'Mi Beck,] amounted last year*to the enor mous sum of $9-1,000,000, without appro priation by law. With such large revenues in excess of the strict necessities of the Government you cannot, prevent extravagance and corruption, running through every one of your Departments ; and you will be comp-Jled to witness, to the eternal shame of the American people, a constant repe tition of those defalcations, which are | coming to light in every'city. If 3*oll fail to radically amend your whole system of taxation and finance, speculation will continue to run riot, to the injury of-hon est and legitimate business, and you must bo prepared to suffer the humiliation of witnessing stijl more gold corners and gold panics, with a suspicion arising therefrom reaching to the highest in the laud, uy, even daring to cross the thres hold of the White House. What is the necessity for doing all this ? Why collect $150,000,000 more reve nue than is necessary from a peop'e who have just emerged from a most terrible contest? We’areeach 3*earreceiving33o,- 000 emigrants, or in three years a num ber of people equal to one fortieth of our entire present population .without esti mating the natural increase of our own people; that is, every three years one fortieth of our load is taken upon the shoulders of those who come to enjoy tho'beuefits of our Government and the advantages of our country. Moreover, the constantly increasing development of our resources will enable us hereafter more easily to bear our heavy burdens than now. Already the tendency to the aggrega tion of vast wealth in few blinds has tak en place in New York and .other lar«m cities, and wo seem to forget that free couutiy, 1 where ‘,V.— Intelligent, rich, refined, and educated people ; but that a truly happy and pros perous nation is the one where Ull are comfortable, well educated, and refined, • My votes here will be governed by the fact that I do not wish to see .this rapid career of our country toward the condi tion of tilings which exists in England. There they have one of the highest class esmf people in the .world, the English nobility; and then they* dropdown to the lowest class, as deep as the protozoa, the film of living things, which, 14,000 feet.deep along the surface of the great sea-meadow of Sargasso, 3,000;u00 squaie miles in extent/ serve? ns bod fbr the Atlantic cable., Ido not want it to be necessary for the statesmen of tills coun try in the future to go down, as they did upon the Great Eastern, when searching for the lost Atlantic cable, with their grappling-irons, to seize hold and draw up tile mass of lh« people like a lost tele graph wire from among the lowest order of created things. Will you 1 not in lime so niddify your -legislation ami correct yiolir policy as to prevent the elevation of one class and the sinking down so deep of another class? It is well to ask, asJ have often asked myncVf, -svliorerorc mal fur yr\in->c ests are these high duties levied? Of course gentlemen speak about creating home markels. That doctrine way all well enough In the days of Henry Olay, the great exponent of the American poli cy. It may navobeen well enough then, as ho desired, to enact a stable tariff of 20 percent., I believe, for nine years, until the year 1842, when he said that our In dustries could stand alone. But it is now nearly thirty years since th.at time. We have now grown to bo a nation of 40,000,- 000 people, as numerically strong as any other nation in Christendom, unless it be Russia, and as physically strong as any nation In the world.’ We have scarcely done boasting of the energy and power we exhibited during the Jate war. And is it not humiliating that the Ameri can people should be to-day ‘asking for any sort of protection against foreig Govern incut? Are we yet In our swaddling clothes- Are we not able to stand alone? Can you, by a prohibitory tariff, succeed in creating markets for all your surplus grain ? You have not done it; you can not do It. Wheat is cheaper, now, not withstanding all these yearsoMiigh ta riff, than X remember it ever before to have been. Sir, your only mode of providing mar kets for your grain is by exchanging it for tho products of other countries. You cannob’take as much of the productions of other countries as you otherwise would, by building up prohibitory tariffs and Chinese walls. The class which produces grain in my State of Pennsylvania, that State, which has been so much abused here, as'in other States, embraces 48 per cent, of the producting population of this country; ami'll produces of tho grout and valua ble productions of ihe country three times tho value of all the manufactures of tho country, three times as much as all the cotton, woolen, iron, and leather manufactures, railway service, and the fisheries, all put together* Now, every horseshoe, every calico dress, every pound of tearcofleo. sugar, or salt used by tho farmer pays a tax, and be is to a certain extern deprived of his market in Europe because by prohibi tory tariffs you shut out the goods which would be otherwise exchanged for our grain. Therefore, in brief, returning to the principle or premises with which I started, I am in favor of reducing inter nal taxation ; I am in favor of a modifi cation of the banking system and a re adjustment of tho currency, more espe cially because if wo keep from the Ex ecutive Departments largo amounts of unnecessary supplies we can then, I think, talker retrenchment aud econo my to some purpose. There will then be no unexpended balances and inviting millions to seduop our oOlcinls |m» profli gate expenditures and estimates.
