It will be seen also' that every other sec tion of the State,.except those affected by the-nutitCprovisions -of this bill, have, duping many years, reaped incal culable benefits from the appropriation of - the-great fund of-which these bonds form an insignificant part, and in every thing whinMooked-toWard , -tbe devel opment -6f their'" resourees,-htive been, during alt this time, the recipients of the munificent bounty of the State. I ask, then, Mr. Speaker, is there anything inequitable in the construc tion of the constitution for which we contend, that we have a right so to manage the "evidences of debt" in the sinking fund, that while we do not di rect them from their original.: purpose, (yiz; that theimoi3ety when raised shall 'be approptiated to the payment at the public debt), they may incidentally ,tend to develop the State, complete our 'system of commercial highways, har monize our interests and our people, ,and enable us to reach out at all objec tive points for the commerce of the West, which, if we will ,but receive it, is ready to be poured into our lap?— Ought we not rather, sir, step to the ,'very verge of a liberal construction, in view of the facts which exist and the prospects which are involved in this question ? 1 Mr. Speaker, it was, my fortune to be isnemberof ; this House in • 1861; when ! the first* legislative construction' was given to the constitutional provisions on this. subject. You will remember, ' sir, that certain bonds of the Sunbury and Ede railroad company had been taken toward the purchase of the pub lic works. That road had been in con templation for many years, struggling ineirectuallyifer existence', and, then, just at a tithe-Obeli It in that no sufficient, amount of private capital could he secured to complete the enterprise, it came here and asked the Legislature to lift up its own security and allow it to issue its first mortgage to the amount of $3,500,000, thus mak the inortOge of the State ,second, to an. amoutil sufficient - to. secure the completion of the road. We were told then, as we are told now, that the proposition was uncon stitutional; that the words " proceeds of sale.," nS used In the constitution, Meatit` i *hatevee-Vas received as evi BE UM 41 . • . • ence, of debt ;. thet . the - agreement to pay, and not the money, when collect ed,ecint3tltuted the 'sinking 'fund, and whatever •tian taken as' evidence that somebody had agrdedto pay the State some aineun t at scene future time' ' whe ther, ,note, , bond, mortgage, or simple contract, must remain there, co nornine, Until paid, or if not paid, must remain there' forever. • ;, - Looking e .sir, at the. question in 'the light of such judgment as I possess, I came to the same opinion which I hold now, that so long as the money was un paid, the Legislature had the right to exercise a diseretiOnary power over the securities; that it was idle to stty.that all future Legislatures were bound to stand 'by . and see securities, which a preceding Legislature i had seen fit to receive in exchange for public property, deteriorate,, and perhaps during a long course of }ears become entirely'orth 'less ; and that this discretion, on e per mitted to exist, the courts woul only interfere in a case where it was 'early improvidently exerciser!, And 0 I look !. ing at the long line of county -' from Williamsport to the harbor of Erie, which then lay'a dreary wilderness, I came to 'the conch/sten that the pro spective advantages were more than ad equate to compensate any supposed . risk in the exchange of securities. I voted, fir the bill ; and, sir,. notwith standing the denuudiations the measure received' from- its; opponents, the Su preme:, Vourti lar the eaees .of ,Oratz vi. • •the_Coremonwealth,h mt, said that t,.. and. 'those Who - acted wigs' acted ' ilot dii 'ly lawfully; but wisely and well. And, sir, fromAtiat time: until the present, the right of the Legislature to trans mute the securities in the sinking fund has been a settled question; Sonlr ea I know, whatever may have been the dif ference of opinions-originally, no law yer doubts that-the law is noWasettled ,• and as these - measures ; are proposed' from time.to time r as they , have been, .and doubtleiS will be in the future, the 'only 'question which, it 'seems to me, 'ought to present itself, is, will the ulti mate,, validity of the' securities be likely to he impaired?. Will the revenues ap plicable to the payment 'Of the public debt be lessened by themeensproposed ? - Before speaking to the precise char acter of the measures proposed in this ease ' . I desire to call' attention' for a mo wont to the great change which has ta ken place since 1860, in the sources from which our revenue is derived. Prior to that time, as I have .said, the real es tate bore the,great burden of taxation. The revenue derived from railroads and corporations was - insignificant, while to-day we have a revenue derived from such sources of nearly $2,000m0 annu ally', which' bns grown - up niftiest en; tirely 'since the adoption iof the new policy to Which I have referred ;—and not an acre of all the land ffn this broad Commonwealth is taxed for State pur poses. _ , . , It thus seems very apparent, that aside from the local improvements along the. lines, the business which every where' grows out of their construction, 'and the' general contributions which they make to the commerce and wealth of the State, we arc to depend in the future mainly on the revenue derived front the railroads and corporations to which we grant our franchises, and sometimesmaterial aid, for the revenue which is t' ',pay otir_ debt and carry on our - govel Onient ; And I submit; that whatever limits thusto the development of , otir reskierces, looks just as certainly to the ultimate and easy extinction of t ithe public debt, es the farmer who sys- , tematicallY and intelligently improves this farm, I, oks to the ultimate extine [Hemp(' th mortgagentpon -it, - rile re U. - S:l4llmi , lam' "Ucleey:li3llore, Pine ere k and Buffalo railroad, to - 01fillgt. 41).MYA4g4}11 - 14ierilViutfieit• i the, character and importance .of the other 'routes), commences at Jersey Shore, in the county of Lyconling, run ning thence up the waters of Pinecreek, through the counties of ',Doge and Pot ter, acrossthe summit by - an easy grade to the waters of the Allegheny ? , thence down the same to Port Allegheny, in the county of M'Kean, and to a con nection with the Buffalo and 'Washing -lon railroad, which runs from Entpori- im; on the Philadelphia and Erie, to he port of Buffalo on lake Erie, in the State of New York. Of this road twen ty Miles are already constructed, and a fund amply sufficient to construct the balance awaits such action as will se cure the construction of the proposed Pine Creek road, so as 'to ensure con nection therewith; the - necessity'r n which co»eetion, as well as the este - lishment of a pro rata tarifr of freights, is perfectly understood and substantial ly agreed upon between the parties in terested in both roads. The result, as an Important line of trade and travel, is easily understood, when lit is known that it will bring the pert of Ramon R.1.11../14.,,............-1.6.. 6... coal regions of the Ewe than is the port of Erie, as well as SO miles nearer to the city of Philadelphia 'than New York; and when it is easy to demons strate, as has been done by thb Senator from Potter, that in consideration of the fact that Buffalo is the great terminus of the grain trade of the western lakes, and that the railroad, transportation. is so much decreased in djstrittee, the cal from Pennsylvania Mines can he pia eil in the markets of .the great • West at from one to two dollars, per ton cheaper; than by any existing route. ,- Mr. Speaker, who- can calculate the boundlesa wealth which .would result to the people of our State from a mar :gin of a single dollar per tenon the in exhaustible measures of, coal which yet lie buried in its bosom? Again, sir, it is known that the lases thretigh Which the Northern Central railroad obtains its New York connections are about to terminaie,•and that no renewal of them call be obtained. The result, then, is to he, that nearly the whole of the tra vel Which:froth points West of Elmira, passes,over that road on the route to Harrisburg, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington, will, as a matter of course and the result_ of the dooreased distance, pass over the new road, malt ing connection with the N orthern orthern Cen tral at Williamsport? And when to these considerations you' add the immense coal deposits which this road will..develop along 'its route, the forests of timber which it will utilize and bring within reach of the citizens .of Lancaster, Schuylkill and Philadelphia, where its wart is even now felt as one of the most, press ing necessities of the age, it _seems to me, sir, that to doubt either the impor tance Of this road, or its•abSolute neces sity to the proper protectionof the true interests of, the State, is si tnply to doubt the well-ascertained evidence of our senses. Sir, nobody does doubt it;—its ituportande iss_admitted by every one who .has, any. knowledge of our railroad' system, or any well defined idea,of the requirements of our trade and coin nibrce. M'JUNKIN—If that is such an important railway project, and likely to become so very remunerative, why don't some of. these corporations build the road out of their own funds, and net ask the State rot* aid? Mu. STRANO-4 might, I suppose, very easily answer the question of the gentleman from Venangn, by asking another. I suppose, sir, that iu now doubts the importa n ce of the Phil adelphia and Erie road and its connec tions, end yet no railroad corporation or algregation of them could be found to build that road witheat aid _from the State-- , -ald of the precise character ask ed in this bill. I:suppose nobody doubts the importance of the Low Grade rail road, and yet nobody could helound to undertake the building of that road without more important !aid from the State than is asked for in this bill.— And I might say further, that I under stand ft ow gentlemen interested in rail road subjects that owing to the une qualled facilities arising out of the mu nificent grantS by Congress for the pur pose of building the great lines of rail road to the Pacific and other Western 'roads, the opportunity for investing cap. 'hal therein is so inviting, that it was never more difficult ito procure the in -vestment of capital in the building of local roads than note. • This bill proposes n substance to per- Mit the Jersey Shore, Pine Creek and Iluflido railroad company to take $O,- 000,000 of the bonds now in the sinking .fund and apply them to the construc tion of - their road ; first having entered into a contreet with responsible parties, to be approVed by the Commissioners of the sinking fund, the contract to be guaranteed by solvent railroad compa nies, of which the PennsylVania rail road company is to bo one; that the road shall be three years , l in the mean i r the letter of t ft e i l t etl o yibl b ae e ct original e pot o tal li n ised i t ett ii , tall i l b c i et e o tce it ol i 'de e r l b sd s w y t , i nei.gthhatPi in which they first mortgage on ths? read A l a t e l e t ac s 140 milesin length), its property and fran chise* • They are to-day ute on what is known as the Columbia branch of the Pennsylvania railroad, (83- mileon length), and upon nothing else. Now, sir, it is said the security, as it stands, hi ample, positivie and certain. Sir, I say, with all respect to the sal. veney of the great corporation these bonds-represent--dad I take it few have a higher appreciation, both of the men .who manage it and the character, of the man agemarkt itself,thero._lsl no. such, thing as an absolutely t - erttilti security; either •to ,the State or anybody else, founded upon railroad securities having twenty years Yet to run ; and while .1 entertain no doubt on .the subject of their solvency, yet, as I belleVe, the se curity will' be just as good, long before that time shall arrive: - And while I be lieve that the revenues of the State from the proposed Improvements and those necessarily growing out of them, will have long before that time been in creased largely in excess of the whole amount of bonds exchanged, thus In creasing the resources of the State for the payment of its debt, and carrying out the ideas entertained by the authors of the amended Constitution in such manner as experience has shOwn to be most effective, I entertain no doubt about this measure as ik, question of sound State policy. The State of New York, ever alive to its great commercial interests, so greatly overshadowing ours, mainly as the re sult of the fostering, care its Legislature has always exercised over its lines of traffic, fully appreciate the importance of the most thorough and complete rail road connection with the trade of the io a r y i making 1114 es; such tii n connection \vnu n e r o i e - / w t one side ; and the New York Central on the other, pwhing to rapid completion the 12, - rciit Midland road, in regard to which the Chamber of Commerce, backed by,.till the leading papers of the State, holds the following language, in a memorial recently :addressed to the ' Legislatino " The great eilbrts of oth er states, including ale Dominion of Canada, to secure the trade of the North and West, should meet a corresponding defensive movement on our part to re tain our boasted supremacy.

Sir, it has been the result of ibis fos tering care of its great• lines of travel; always ready to respond to proper de mands on its Treasury for such purpo ses, that the Empire btate has been able to secure and maintain its entire supre macy in the commerce of the nation ; and yet We are here higgling and hesi tating whether we will indirectly loan the credit of the State, on undoubted security, for the completion of what is admitted to be the most important line of railroad-yet tinbuilt. Representatives of Pennsylvania, build this road and the others named in this bill, and you will have completed the grand outlines of a system which will then be unrivalled; you will then have brought each part of the Stale in easy communication with the other, created a unity of interest and feeling, and will make our noble Common wealth a ,meat sy minett Leal whole— perfect in all its proportions, and tin ri.- vailed in greatness.
