WILLIAM HOPKINS, OF WASHINGTON, ON THE BILL TO RESTORE TEE TONNAGE TAX Made in the House of Representatives, on Wednesday, .Ha eh 4th, 1863. Mr. SPEAKER : Having had the honor of submitting this subject to the House, it may, perhaps, be expected that I should say something in its defence. In doing so, it will not be necessary to discuss, in detail, -the various reasons in favor of the repeal of the Act of 1861, entitled An Act for , the 'Commutation of Tonnage Duties.' It will be remembered by those who were here last session, that the question was then fully examined ; but it may be proper to refer, in general terms, to a few of the most prominent of those reasons. The questions involved being precisely the same as they were a year ago, it will be difficult now to avoid a repetition of the arguments then used ; but I shall guard against this as far as practicable, or as far as my memory will enable me to do so. That we may understand this whole question in all its bearings, let us look for a moment at the history of the tonnage tax fromite incipiency to the present time. In 1846 an application was made to the Legislature for an Act of Incorporation to build a railroad from Harrisburg to. Pitts burg. This application met with decided opposition on the part of many members of both branches of that body, on the ground that the construction of a road running parallel with the main nine of canal would divert the trade from the State's own work, and thus diminish its value. On the other hand, it was alleged that this, new avenue was necessary in order to afford adequate facilities to the increased and rapidly increasing trade be ' tween the Atlantic cities, and especially the great Eastern Emporium of our own Commonwealth, and the expanding West. After much discu.sion, a basis of compro mise was finally agreed upon „between the Legislature and the corporators, by which the latter agreed to pay to the State five mills per ton per mile for all tonnage car ried over their road between the points designated, during the navigable season of the canal. This was subsequently modified to three mills during the whole year. This tax was regarded; -by the parties in interest, as an equivalent for the franchises conferred, and as an indemnity for the loss, the Commonwealth would_ ens tain on aocionnt of the diminution of. trade over_itt3 own _ improvement For several years this agreement was faithfully out' r . fitit, the atinfiany was began to agi :! tate the question of repeal, and set the law at defiance by refusing to pay what they had solemnly agreed to do, and the Commonwealth was obliged to bring suit for the recovery of its just dues. In 1860 this tax had reached the sum of ($308,- 829.00) Three Hundred and Eight Thous and, Eight Hundred and Twenty-nine Dol lars per annum. These suits were insti tuted before the eminent jurist and incor ruptible man who presides over this Judi- cial District. After an elaborate argument by able counsel on both sides, the Court ruled tho law against the Company ; and on the removal of the cause to the Supreme Court of the State, a tribunal of the highest legal ability, and of undoubted integrity, the judgment of the Court below was affirmed; and just as we were about o realize the amount due, some seven or eight hundred thousand dollars, the Legis lature interposed and arrested the process of the laW, and passed the Commutation Act, which relieved the Company not only from the payment of the accumulated tax, but also from its payment in future. It is for the purpose of restoring to the Treasury this revenue that the passage of this bill is asked for. Having thus hurriedly glanced at the history of this tax, I now propose, as briefly as I can, to assign such reasons for the passage of the bill as may suggest themselves to my mind. This tax should be restored, then, first, because its pay ment, as has been shown, was voluntarily assumed by the Company as a bonus for the chartered privileges conferred ; and it was an act of bad faith, on their part, to refuse to pay it. It should be restored, in the second place, because the amount thus improperly taken from the Treasury must be made up by imposing additional bur dens upon the people. It should be re stored, in the third place, because the passage of the act which exonerated the company from its payment was procured by corrupt means. Let us now examine these reasons in he order above stated. That the Company voluntarily assumed the, payment of the Tonnage Tax, has never been denied by any one, nor can it be successfully controverted. I need not, therefore, occupy the time of the House in discussing a proposition, the truth of which is admitted on all hands. Then as to the second reason assigned, to wit: that the amount taken from the revenues of the State by the passage of the Commutation bill must be made up by increased taxation on real and personal property throughout the Commonwealth. To my own mind, this is just as clear as the first proposition ; but, as there are those who do not so regard it, I will give the reason for ' the faith within me.' The revenues of the Commonwealth are made up, chiefly, by taxes on corporations, licenses, real and personal property. The tonnage tax, in 1860, amounted to $308,- 8'29.00, as appears from the message of Governor Packer, (see Executive Docu ments, 1861, page 13.) By reference to the return made to the Auditor General by the Company, for 1860, it will be seen that the gross amount of tonnage carried over the Road in that year was one million three hundred and fifty-two thousand four hundred and forty-eight tons (1,352,448), which produced the above sum of $308,- 829.00. In 1862, the gross tonnage car ried was one million nine hundred and eighty-nine thousand one hundred and twenty-six tons (1,989,126). Now, with out claiming to be literally accurate, yet I believe I am sufficiently so for all practi cable purposes, when I say that if 1,352,- 448 tons produced $308,829.00 revenu e in 18G0, the 1,989,126 tons carried in 1862 would have yielded ($454,654.53) four hundred and fifty-four thousand six hun dred and fifty-four dollars and fifty-three cents. A word here in regard to the amend , ment offered by the gentleman from Clin ton. This amendment provides that all railroad companies, canal companies, &0., shall pay to the State Treasurer, for the use of the Commonwealth, a tax upon all tonnage carried upon or over their respec tive lines of transportation, to be gradua ted as follows, to wit : Ist. Upon the products of mines, for each ton of two thousand pounds, two cents. 2d. Upon the product of the forest, upon animals, vegetable food and all other agricultural products, three cents. 3d. Upon merchandise, manufactures and all other articles, five cents. Now, in the first place, the injustice of this amendment is so manifest, that a bare reference to it ought to satisfy every fair minded man that it should not be adopted. Why, sir, look at it. It proposes to im pose the same tax on a ton of freight-car ried over a road ten miles long that it does over a road three hundred miles in length. Can it be possible that such a proposition will find favor in this House Then, again, in point of revenue, how does it compare with the original bill Take., for example, the Pennsylvania Road. It has just been shown that the tonnage carried over this Road the past year was one mil lion nine hundred and eighty-nine thous and one hundred and • twenty-six tons (1,989,126), which, at 3 mills per ton per mile, would amount to seventy-five cents per ton between Har risburg andPittsburgequal to four hun dred and fifty-four.thousand six hundred and fifty-four dollars per annum ($454,- 654.00). Then take the average tax pro posed by the amendment, say at four cents per ton, which would be very liberal, the Pennsylvania Company would pay on the tonnage above given, seventy-nine thous and five hundred, and sixty-five dollars ($79,565.001 per annum—making a differ ence agains the Commonwealth of Three Hundred and Seventy-five Thousand and Eighty-nine Dollars ($375,089.00) annu ally. If, then, you withhold from the treasury this sum, will you not create the necessity for imposing an equal amount on other property '1 If this be not so,- -I will thank gentlemen if they will tell me in what mode the defidienoy can be made up. The question is here presented : Why should the people be taxed annually half a million of dollars, to say nothing of the increase which must continue to an indefinite period, as the agricultural, mineral, manufacturing and commer cial interests of our- vast country be come more and more developedl one truthful- , answer can be given to this question, and that is that the dividends of the Stockholders -of- the Pennsylvania Railroad Company , may be ittereased7.— -Theee:divill . endej the paet year, were, Ilke lieve,,B7per reent,, ; while the great a,griteal 7 A9 l :34l.ttrAtitti E:9f ,tAckvgooll4o4,WP*ll " THAT COUNTRY IR TER" MOOT PROBPBROUB WHIRR LABOR OORKABDO TEI ORRATRBT RIWARD."- LANCASTER CITY, PA., TUESDAY MORNING, MARCH 17, 1863. upon which falls the heaviest portion of taxation, did not, it may be safely affirmed, yield on an average three per cent., on the capital invested, over and above expenses. Bat, Mr. Speaker, there is another class of our citizens, and a very meritorious one, which should not be overlooked to the ',toiling millions,' who are ground down to the merest pittance for their labor, while they have to pay the most exorbitant prices for all the necessaries of life. Yes, every artiole that enters into the consumption of a family, has advanced, within the past two years, from fifty up to five hundred per cent.— Here is a large class'of men who receive say seventy-five cents per - day, or at most a dollar, and many of them not half that sum, and yet muslin, for example, that cost, two years ago, ten cents per yard, now costs fifty cents ! As to tea and coffee, &c., which have hitherto formed a portion of the comforts of every home, they are now entirely beyond their reach.— Again, sir, look at our patriotio fellow citizens in the army, who are aiding in an attempt to put down a terrible rebellion, who receive—receive did I say I—who are promised thirteen dollars per month ; but which they do not get for from four to eight months after it is due them! Hun- . _ dreds and thousands of the wives and chil dren of these brave fellows, are half the time without either bread, or sufficient clothing to protect them from the pitiless storm, and yet, those of them who own any property, if it be but a cow, are taxed; yes, even the cow of the soldier's widow is tax ed ! While these things are notorious, we find in this hall, to day, the emissaries of a a mammoth corporation, with all theirpow er and influence, resisting a measure which has for its object the lessening of the bur dens of the masses. Look at this sad picture, which is by no means overwrought, but on the contrary falls far, very far, below the reality ; and then contemplate the conduct of these Railroad gentlemen who receive their hun dreds, their thousands, and tens of thous ands annually, in the shape of dividends, and see them here, using all their arts and appliances, to prevent the Legislature from requiring them to redeem their plighted faith to the Commonwealth ! But, Mr. Speaker, the friends of this corporation attempt to present this sub ject in another aspect. Some of them al lege that this tax was not paid by the com pany, but by those who transported freight over the road.. If this be so, it was a pal pable violation of the terms of its charter. The 22d section of the Act of incorpora tion expressly provides that the tax shall be paid by the said company,' and not by the shippers. Suppose, sir, that in grant ing this charter, instead of a tax on ton- nage,the Legislature had imposed a specific sum as a bonus, which would have been entirely competent, is there a sane man anywhere who would claim that the corn paßy would have a right to assess a tax on the freight carried over their road, to reimburse them for this bonus which they had agreed to pay for their charter? As well might a bank, chartered by the Leg islature, upon which a bonus was imposed, claim the right in making its loans, to as sess on notes and bills discounted a por tion of what it cost it to obtain its char ter! The proposition is so preposterous that it needs but to be scouted by every intelligent man. But, for the sake of the argument, sup pose it be conceded, that the Company had the right to impose this tax on those who ship freight over the road, would that be conclusive against the policy of the tax, in the first place, or its continuance now ? If the people along the line of the road desired a more speedy transit for their produce and merchandise than that afford ed by the State improvements, which cost so many millions of dollars, would there be any injustice in their paying a small advance on their freights, for the increased facilities which were denied to other por tions of the State? The additional taxes which would have to be imposed, to make up the deficiency in the treasury, caused by the withdrawal of the tonnage tax, must be paid by the people of the whole State. Look at your map, and you will see that a large portion of the people de rive no direct advantage from this road. From the Delaware to Lake Erie, on the east and north, and the entire range of counties on the southern border of the State, other channels of communication. have to be sought; and the policy, there fore, which would impose additional bur dens upon the people of those sections, for the benefit of the stockholders of this Company, would, in my judgment, be of doubtful propriety. That such is the effect of the Act of 1861, unless it be re pealed, is too palpable to admit of elabora tion. The alternative is, therefore, presented, of either restoring this tax or taxing the people, who are already groaning under their load, to make up the deficiency.— There is no escape from this position, hAvever artful may be the attempt. But, Mr. Speaker, the gentleman from Cambria has raised a side issue here, which, in my judgment, does not legiti mately belong to the subject. lam will ing, however, to examine his allegation, and see what merit it possesses. He says that from the Message of the Governor, it appears that the net revenue derived, in 1856, from the Commonwealth's own works,was but sixty-two thousand, one hun dred and eighteen dollars and forty-eight cents, ($62,118.48.) Had the gentleman bestowed that attention upon the subject which generally characterizes his investi gations of public questions, I am sure he would not have fallen into the error which he did. On the same page of the message from which he quotes, it is stated, that the extraordinary payments during the year amounted to eight hundred and eight thousand eight hundred and ninety-two dollars and sixteen cents, ($808,892 16,) and the ordinary expenditures to one mil lion one hundred and thirty-five thousand and four dollars, 151,135,004.00,) net revenue, (excluding extraordinary pay ments and motive power for 1855,) was eight hundred and seventy-one tht niand and eleven dollarii, ($871,011.) The ex traordinary payments here referred to, were for new work entirely, and therefore, not chargeable to the current expenses of operating the workerthus showing that instead of these improvements yielding but $62,118.48, the net, revenues were $871,011 !, And the gentleman is equally nmfortunate-in • another _part •ok . his 'Argo.- leeet,• when , he, alleges • that,. inatelict.of 4-,„sleestruetiou or 7. the P.entullvtitla _444:9t44%)**8- ()Wed A.. 4414.140 , * pf revenue on the main line, it had increase it. To prove this position, he quoted from the Report of the Canal Commission ers of January, 1857. Now, if the gen tleman will refer to the Report of the Board, made January, 1855, he will find that while it is true that the tolls on the Philadelphia and Columbia Road did in crease after the construction of the Penn sylvania Road, which was attributable partly to the tonnage thrown upon it by the latter Road, it is equally true that the business 'of transportation over the Main Line of Canal, especially on that portion between the Susquehanna river and Pitts burg, was oomparatively destroyed. For example : the whole tonnage car ried by the canal transporters over this line in 1853, was 108,675 tons, and that carried by' the Pennsylvania Railroad was 81,450 tons ; and in 1854 the former carried but 73,774 tons, while the latter carried 164,475 tons—thus exhibiting the startling fact that while the tonnage of the canal transporters has fallen off the past year forty-seven per cent., that of the railroad has increased ninety-nine per cent. Of this discrepancy a very large proportion is of first and second class goods, which afford much the greatest re muneration, as well to the State as to the carriers, for the reason that the charges of both are higher than on third and fourth classes. Thus it will be seen that the construction of the Pennsylvania Railroad proved to be highly prejudioial to the in terest of the Commonwea , th, and led to the sale of the Main Line at a price far below its actual cost. But, Mr. Speaker, ,it is said that the Act of 1861 is a contract, and, therefore, cannot be repealed. I do not propose. to discuss this point at any great length, bat I must give it a passing notice. For my self, I can say that I do not regard legis lative contracts, and especially when tainted with fraud, with as much favor as some gentlemen seem to do. A legislative contract, to be binding, must possess all the elements necessary to a contract be tween individuals. There must be a con sideration ; and it must be free from fraud, for it is a recognized principle in law, that fraud vitiates all contracts. Now, let us apply this test to this pretended contract. Firlit, then, where is the consideration in the Commutation Bill I affirm that so far from the State having received a dol lar, the Act absolutely gives the Company some eight hundred thousand dollars of accumulated tax, for the privilege of re lieving them from its payment in the future. On the plea of contract, then, this lacks the essential element of consideration.— Let us see if it stands any better with re gard to fraud. If doubts exist on this point, I refer gentlemen to the report of the Committee of Investigation appointed last session by this House; and they will there find the most irrefragable proof that the Commutation Bill of 1861 was passed by direct bribery. Senators and Members were bribed by the agents of the Compa ny to betray the people and vote for a measure which they knew to be repugnant to their wishes and in open conflict with their best interests. At this point, 1 must refer briefly to a remark made by the gen tleman from Cambria. He asks, with a seeming air of triumph, did the people not knew ; when , they elected the members composing the Legislature of 1861, that the question of the repeal of the Tonnage Tax would be before that body It' I must be permitted to say that the gentleman was very unfortunate in this allusion to the election of 1860. But, as he asked the question, I will answer it, and say, Yes, the people did know that this question would be before the Legislature ; and, in several of the counties, they passed reso lutions instructing their members to op pose the repeal ; and, in other counties, candidates gave solemn written pledges that they would, by their votes and influ ence, resist all attempts at repeal. But, sir, notwithstanding these resolutions of instruction and pledges of candidates, these faithless representatives yielded to the tempter and voted for the Commuta tion Bill.' And, sir, what was the result At the election of 1861, outside of the city of Philadelphia, where all are directly interested in the Road—most of the stook being held there, either by the corporate authorities or by individuals—there was but a single member who voted for the bill returned to this House ! And that was the gentleman from Warren (Mr. Cowan).— And I warn gentlemen to beware how they act on the present occasion. Let them remember that the people are honest, and will not tolerate those who sanction by their votes such an enormous swindle, con summated by such corrupt means. If for no other reason, the act of 1861 should be repealed in order to wipe out a stain upon our statute book,which was 'con ceived in sin and brought forth in iniquity.' Mr. Speaker, if such acts be permitted to go unrebuked, then may we well despair of the perpetuity of our liberties. If it be conceded that a corporation may buy up members of the Legislature, and induce them to barter away the revenues of the Commonwealth, in order to enrich them selves, and there is no redress, then indeed is our condition most deplorable. And whenever that day arrives, for one, I shall feel but little hope for the future. It might well be asked, what would we have left worth preserving ? But this cannot be. If it was competent for the Legislature of 1861 to pass the Commutation Act,' and that act be irrepealable, what, I submit, would there be to prevent us from passing a similar act in reference to other subjects of taxation? For example: Most of the bank and other corporation charters contain a stipulation to pay certain taxes on their capital stock - and dividends for the franchises conferred upon them. • The revenue derived from this source, the past year, as shown by the Auditor General's Report, was 606,916.00 dollars. Now suppose these corporations had refused to pay these taxes for the past two years, the amount now due would be about 1,200,- 000.00 dollars; and suppose we now had theinloefore us, asking to be relieved from the payment of this tax in the future, and were seeking the passage of a commutation act for this purpose- and that the consider ation they would offer, on their part of the contract, would be that they should be discharged from the payment of the 1,200,000, dollars now due and unpaid.— That is, we would be asked to surrender to these corporations this sum . belonging' to the Treasury, fdr the "piivitege of relieving them from taxation .for • all coming -time . } and in order to accomplish their objefit, they w#d:bribekstfficienbliimber otrireinhers t0',w0414 the punishment meted out to those who would thus betray the people ? Sir, they would deserve, as they would doubtless receive, the everlasting execrations of every honest man in the Commonwealth. And I would be glad if some of these gentlemen who are so eloquent on the 'sanctity of con tracts,' would tell us the difference, in any essential particular, between that case and the one under consideration. I assert, without the fear of successful contradiction, that, for all practical purposes, the cases are precisely analagous. Mr. Speaker, the' taxing power is inherent in our form of government, and the'Legislature can no more barter it away in the manner indica ted, than they can barter any other part of the sovereignty of the people. No, sir, no more than they can sell, for a pecuniary consideration .to themselves, the right to punish crime ! Away, then,"with all this declamation about the sanctity of such-con tracts as the one before us, covered, as it is, all over with fraud. Mr. Speaker, I am fully sensible of the power of the parties with whom I am grap pling. lam aware that it is by far the most powerful corporation in this country, if indeed it has an equal anywhere. I know that it holds at its disposal the disburse ment of over ten millions of dollars annu ally. I know that it came into the Legis lature of 1861, and at its bidding, as has been shown, procured the passage of the ' Commutation Act,' which took from the people an annual revenue of about half a million of dollars; and that it is now here, through its emissaries, to prevent the res toration to the treasury of that revenue. I know, too, that it is still reaching out and endeavoring to extend its power and influ ence in every section of the Commonwealth; that is still weaving its meshes more tightly around us. But, thank God, the people stand firm. While this corporation has shown its will and its ability to corrupt members of the Legislature, and to sub sidize a portion of the press, the people have stood like a wall of fire around our liberties, and have manfully resisted its machinations. Sir, we owe it to an out raged, tax-ridden and confiding people who have been betrayed by faithless representa tives—we owe it to ourselves—and above all, we owe it to God, that this great wrong should be redressed. This can only be done by passing the original bill, or one of similar character. Mr. Speaker, I have trespassed much longer than I intended upon the indulgence of the House. But the importance which I attach to the subject must be my apology. I thank the House for the attention with which I have been honored. Breaking Down. The assertion that we are weaker than our forefathers, (says a London paper,) and break down sooner, is one of those statements which people make or deny ac cording to their preconceived opinons. Our notions of the last generation are, of course, taken from the old people whom we have known ; but this is judging from picked specimens. Men like Lord Palmer ston, Lord Lyndhurst, and Lord Camp bell, of course, give their juniors the im pression that they belonged to a race of giants ; but the fallacy is obvious. We may reasonably hope that of those who read these lines in the vigor of their age, a certain number will forget them at least half a century before their death, and will live to excite the wonder of another gen eration at the vigor which distinguishes their eightieth or ninetieth year. It must, however, be admitted that the advance of knowledge and civilization has in no way a direct tendency to lower the average vigor of the race. It keeps many weakly persons from dying: Sanitary reform and the progress of medical skill tend to de stroy a sort of invisible sieve through which people used to be passed, and which, if the human race regarded it merely from the cattle-breeder's point of view, was a highly useful institution. It is often said that the change of medical treatment shows a diminution in strength: that people in the present day cannot stand bleeding, which thirty years ago was universal.— This is one of those assertions which can not be tested with accuracy. It is hardly possible to say whether the change is in the practice or in the patients. A dootor who was lately developing the ordinary view upon the subject to one of his pa tients, was asked how long was it since he had bled any one. Ho replied, ' Upwards of ten years.; 4 Then how can you tell,' was the rejoinder, ' what would have hap pened if you had bled them?' If we, look to specific facts there does not appear much reason to think that the present gen eration is losing its physical vigor. Ar mies in the field both march as well and fight as, well as ever. The taste for athlet ic amusements has grown into something approaching to a passion. The average length of life has considerably increased, and though this, for the reason given labove, consistent with diminution in aver age vigor, it is prima facia evidence of the reverse. Above all, the habits, of life are far healthier than they ever were. Our laboring classes are better fed, better housed, better educated ; the middle and higher classes take infinitely more exercise than they used, and are, in all their hab its, nore sober and temperate. Many dis eases which used to ruin the constitution, have been greatly tamed, and some have been almost extirpated ; and if these causes do not improve the raoe, it is im possible to Bay what will. WORLDLINESS AND PRIDE.-A good old lady who lived in one of the rural districts of Maine, and who had never seen much of town life, was prevailed upon one occasion to pay a visit to a rela tive who lived in a distant inland town of some importance. When Sunday came round the old lady accompnied her friends to church, where her simple notions were shocked at the wonderful display of what she called worldliness and pride. The minister himself did not escape her crit: Mem. In the • midst of the sermon, and while the old lady was Cogitating upon things around her, a mischleveue crow that had been tamed and taught to speak flew in at one of the, open windows, and alighted upon the back of a seat in front of one. of the deacons, looked that function ary full in the face, and exclaimed in a clear, audible voice that sent a thrill of horror; to-the heart of the old lady, Curse you! .1 curse you!! And,beforeAe deacon could capture the fugitive it flew to anoth er place, and pronommed_ its _malediction upon- anotherprominent -, : member of the church., The minister : 4toppia,' aid, the oongregetiow became,- dieturbed.'.i Every bodpwair &Wow to!see the httilider cap. . •,;; i.r .I.f/ 4s e I'.• r? .L.

At last he came across our old lady and she too shared the Brow's ominous imprecations: The old lady rose up from her seat preparatory to its evacu ation and confronting her black adversary with flashing eyes and uplifted finger, ex claimed, in a sharp, shrill voice that start led the audience. Oh, yod need'nt curse me, for I don't belorig to this congrega tion !' and left the place in deep disgust.'
