Mr.. BENNETT concluded the speech here
t0fore commenced, coDtendng tina. n railroads are
public benefits then all the states should share "a
the advantages. What he proposed was TO nave
law passed equaliZDg the grants for such oolscS
IL the long pursued policy is to be departed IRON,
let there be equal and Just legislation toward All
the states al present there seemed TO DO sfe@
game In which the most camor rus get an undue
share. He proceeded to show that the public saD,
all expenses included, never paid for themselves.
The Constitution does not prefer class OF states
over another, some Of which were not thought Of a.
why should the lands be claimed for the new to ,he
exclusion OF the old States Then deal with all
ankle II not, these halls will be besieeed for par.
ticular Railroads as long there lands 20 give
He did not believe In partnership where the old
states share IN the public burdens and none OF the
benefits This is not political question Il IS sn.
ply one Of fair dealing Let an equitable distributes
be made, and then stop the frequent applications of
grants Of LANDS to Railroads.
Mr.. STANLY said that the matter has
been before the House for three weeks, and enough
had been said to enable every member TO make "
his mind. This bill had blocked up the way 10 all

tleman (Mr. Stany) to withdraw his motion h.
wished to answer the grave charges preferred agaha
the Western States generally, and particularly
against Ohio.
