ry nowl that our public lands have not
heretofore yielded more than tweniy-cish'
cents per acre 10 the public treasury. II we
deduct all expenses, ex'nsuiShncnt OF In
dian titles, purchases, made by treaties,
donations sc. But suppose that The a
bove sixty millions Of acres(much olwhlch
is refuse land,) should hereafter yield one
dollar nett per acre, then this would give
us about S62, ,OO0,O09: and calculate the 2
per cent fund out Of this, and il would he
| 81 ,24O,000; and the whole per cent fund
would be but 100000. Yet | have
shown you that we have already expended
S5,345,76l G2 more than the 2 per cent
fund now paid in; and all that i'll any prob
ability, can come in hereafter, is Sl,240,'
600. But take the whole 5 per cent from
lands vet to he sold, and probably it will
be less than S3.l0OO00; which, taken
from The S5,245,76I G2 already in excess,
will still leave a balance in favor of this
Government of S2,245,7Gl g.. Judging
from the past, however, it may be safely
calculated that the public lands to he sold,
will no, yield half the sum estimated a
hove. which of course would reduce the 5
per cen, estimate in like manner. Thus,
/ trust, have forever put to rest this finn
sy pre,ext, as 10 The famous two per cent
fund; and that no one will ever again urge
upon us this appropriation from the obi
cations Of special contract. The gen.
lleman from Indiana, Mr.. Howard was
| TOO good lawyer 10 rest upon this; he
we'll knew that he could not carry this
appropriation upon any principle Of law
or equity connected with the two per cent
fund. He did not rest il entirely upon this,
but took higher grounds Of national inter
est and expediency connected with her
public policy.
AS for my own part, rather than to be
harassed here year after year, as we are
for specific appropriations for this object,
to be- made out Of the National Treasury,
and thus making every Thing subserve
local interests, I would prefer at once, if
we are to be compelled 10 carry on this
work, that we shonld give to each Of the
States, absolutely, five out of every lO5
sections of land unsold, for their own dis
posal, provided we were never to be ask
ed for an appropriation again, upon this
subject.
Do YOU suppose that the men, who, in
the wears 1902, 1903, and 1906 passed
the first acts to which have referred, could
have contemplated that six millions of
dollars were 10 be drawn from the Treas
TRY, in the short space Of thirty three years,
for this object! They would have hssita-

the provisions of this act; the same shall be
surrendered to, land accepted by The States
respeclively,lhrough which said road pass
es; and the United States shall not there
after be subject 10 any expense in relation
10 said road.''
By this i, will be seen. that it was ex-
pressly Intended that Inc Federal Govern
ment should not be subject thereafter TO
any expenses in relation to this road; and
here it is TO be remarked, that if gentlemen
put the appropriation on the ground of
contract. they mustlake the whole contract,
as indicated at different times, and not a
part Of it.
But | proceed now TO show, on the au-
thoriiy Of documentary evidence, that this
trust fund thus set aside by the first acts
which have been referred to, has been ex-
hausted more than five times over. With
this view, l will read the estimates of lh"
