trillions of bonds, on which they can raise
money sufficient to build the road an t put the
rolling stock upon it. Lastly, the bill places
check upon the company, so that they canuot
squander the money but will be obliged to ap
piv it legitimately to the purposes of the road.
If' it would not be betraying confidence, I
would throw out here, iu a whisper, that I
consulted with the head of the department,
and said be, "as a man of honor, that money
will be applied rightly." This is all we pro
pose to do.
If we pass the bill, what will be the results?
The first result will be that the company can
raise money and complete its road ; the second
result will be that the funds will be legitimate
ly applied—no squandering, no profligacy.—
'i'he people will never have it to say we put
money into the hnnd3 of these men which
went to make them individually rich. The
third result will be, that the section of the
State through which the road runs will be de
veloped.
Now, sir. what is the glory of a Common
wealth ? What is the wealth of a State ?
What is the progressive prosperity of an em
pire like Pennsylvania ? Why, sir, it is the
development of her people, intellectually, mor
ally and physically, for mean, undeveloped peo
ple will damn any land. Then after you have
developed the people, you must develop those ;
resources, agricultural or mineral, which the !
great God has lodged in the bosom of your
soil. Here is a vast section of country lying 1
off towards the setting sun, clothed with rich !
forests, underlaid with strata of coal ; and as j
if the God of creation wished to pour all the i
treasures of wealth into the bosom of Penn- j
sylvania, He has lodged there an inexhaust- I
ible and a perenn : al fountain of oil. You have '
the lumber ; you have the coal ; yon have the j
oil ; and I do not know what other sources of
wealth you will discover ultimately. What is
the wealth of Penurylvania ? It is to devel- j
op these resources ; to bring them out and
throw them into the market, to change them i
iuto gold aud silver—iuto current mouey, cir- J
culating from hand to hand. There is the far- j
mer ;he needs a market for his produce.— j
There is the lumberman ; he needs a market !
for his lumber. There is the coal digger ; he
• wants a market for his coal. There is the man
who is boring for oil ; he wants a market for
his oil. All these men want the means to get
their productions to a market. Construct this '
road aud you furnish that means.
What under heavens is tlie use of talking
and sparring upou the question whether two i
iniliiqas or four inillious are needed ? Pass
this Tail authorizing the is-uing of bonds to
the amount of five millions ; put them in the j
keeping of the Secretary of State, and tell
these men to go to work and stretch their iron j
thread through that part of the Common
wealth—to harness the horse of steam and
fire and start him upon his course. Let this
part of the Gommouwealih be developed ; let '
the people have access to the commercial
world.
Ho you not know sir, and do I not know
tiiat it is these iuternal improvements that j
give value to land and everything else? Why, ;
Mr. Speaker, when the New York and Erie j
Railroad, which runs about twenty miles from i
my own residence, was first put in operation,
land on the liue of the road could be bought j
at a certain price. In six years from that |
time, every square acre of land had doubled |
in its value. Complete this road through the
section in which it is projected, and the poor
man who now has one hundred acres of land
and cannot get to market grain enough to j
raise the money to pay his taxes, will have a i
cash market for all his products ; and not only I
will he pay his taxes, but the land will be val- j
ucd twice as high as it is new ; twice as much !
revenue will come iuto the treasury from that ;
section of the State. Thus will that section
of country be developed. It is the glory of a
country to be developed, and the glorv of a
Legislature is to do what it can for the devel- j
opement of the State.
There is another point to which I would
have you look. If we pass this bill, the secu
rities of the Commonwealth will be, to say the
least, in as good a condition as they are now.
How is it now ? There are $1,600,000 ahead ,
of the State lien ; and if the State does not '
force a sale she gets notbiug, while if she !
forces a sale she gets nothing. That is the
value of the Slate securities now. Pass this j
bill, and it is true there will be six millions ;
ahead of the State. Rut the present claim is
upon an unfinished, iuoperative road.
Pass this bill, and it will be upon a finished
and operative road; and I say, with the little
financial experience that I have, I would pre
fer the lien of the State, with six inillious
ahead of it, upon a finished and operative road
to u claim of three and a half millions, with
$1,600,000 ahead of it, upon an unfinished
and iuoperative road. Sir, in my judgment
the securities of the State will not by this bill
by invalidated at all. They are worth noth
ing now, and they cannot be worth less .
In the next place, by the passage of this bill,
you will relieve a large number of involved con
tractors. Mr. Speaker, there is a man living
within my conntv who went to work upon a
section of this very road. He told me he clear
ed twenty acres of land in a dense green forest
—cut away the trees and tore out the stumps
and graded the track. lie went on, expect
ing that funds would come to his hand as he
needed them lie invested in the work, more
or less of his own means. The result was, that
he was obliged to discontinue his contract.—
That man said lo me, "if yon can do anything
to relieve us, I hope you will do it. Ido not
want you to sacrifice yourself; but there must
be a sacrifice somewhere." As near as I can
learn, there is a whole company of inco in the
same dilemma If we pass this bill, we put it
within the ability of the company to raise
funds. They go to work upon the railroad;
these contractors finish their jobs; they receive
their pay, and arc relieved and disembarrased.
This is another argument in favor of the bill
Returning thanks to the Senate for its in
dulgence, I will now merely recapitulate the
points and reasons which will induce me to vote
for this bill. First, this measure was recom
mended to the favorable attention of the Leg
islature by the retiring Governor and also the
incoming Governor ; an 1, if instructions from
high quarters are of any consequence, then we
have the benefit of that argument. 1 shall
vote for the bill, because it will cnabie the
Company to raise fnnds to go ou and complete
the road. I shall vote for the bill, because
this provision for relief is so guarded in the
last section,that the Company cannot squander
these funds. I shall vote for the bill because it
will secure the development of a vast section
of oar great State, thus adding to our general
and industrial wealth. I shall vote for the bill
sir, because it does uot iu the least impair the
securities of the Commonwealth. I shall vote
for the bill because it briugs relief to a large
number of high-minded and energetic meD,who ;
are now involved iu consequence of undertak
ing these contracts upon I shall vote
for the bill, Mr. ?peaker, standing upon my
own responsibility; and, if any one of my
constituents should call mc to account for it,
I shall give that account which honest pur
poses and a general understanding of the sub
ject will enable me to give.
