On the Amendment, submitting the Question
OF the Sale Of the Main Line, to Vote q
the People.
Mr.. SPEAKER This is an Amendments
which the friends of the bill should certainly
not object to. If they are honest in the de-
clarations they have made-if, as they say, IL
their arguments in favor of the passage of The
bill, that the people Of the Commonwealth
have often emphatically declared in favor OF
the sale OF the works, they certainly should
| not be afraid to trust them again If there
is such decided majority in the State, in ia
vor of sale of the Main Line, why DO the
friends of the bill hesitate, why 90 they refuse
to let the people speak again ON the question
Why refuse TO let them be heard now ?
No, Mr. Speaker. the friends of this fraud
| arc afraid to let the people be heard upon it
They know that the honest yeomanry of the
State would most signally condemn it No,
sir, they know the people would immediately
| reject so infamous proposition. They know
they would spurn the proposition to transfer
the interests of the Commonwealth to mon
strous and grasping corporation.
If the citizens of the Commonwealth did at
one time say, by their vote, that they were
il favor of sale of the Public Works. they
did so, believing that they would receive "a
| l.
| tertalDed the idea that combination of dem
agogues would sacrifice the interests of the
Commonwealth by the manner in which the
works would be sold They never entertain
ed the idea that in the sale Of the works, the i.
pecunlary interests and political independence
were to be transferred to the Pennsylvania
Rail Road Company. Neither did they en-
tertain the idea that any portion of the Works
would be abandoned, which would depreciatc
| individual property to the amount of three
| millions Of dollars, as will be the case in AL
legheny. Armstrong, Westmoreland, Indiana
and Cambria counties, and most especially.
did they not expect that the whole Works
would be sold for less sum than the Phila-
delphia and Columbia Railroad alone is worth
and that there would be no security for the
payment of even this paltry sum
Mr. Speaker Why are the friends of this
fraud afraid to leave it to the people of the
Commonwealth? They know that this out
rage would be condemned by their indignant
voice at the polls. Better far, would il be-
TO give away the whole improvements belong
ing to the Commonwealth, and retain the
tonnage tax derived from the Penn'a r. r
Co, which amounted last year to the sum of
S249, ,021, AZ, than 10 sell under the proyi-
sions of this iniquitous bill.
say again Mr.. Speaker, that the friends
of this bill, dare not submit thi, infamous
proposition to the people. Lay this villianous
bill OF corruption and fraud, before the tax
payers of the Commonwealth, and they would
speak out In such thunder tones, against it.

Penn sylyania Sold.

Eor the past ten days it has been very evil
dent that combination, sufficiently strong,
had been entered into at Harrisburg, to force
through the Legislature, the Bill for the sale
of the Main Line. This infamous measure
has been partially consummated by the pas
sage of the bill through the lower House on
Friday last, by vote of 81 yeas to Al nays.
Ten democrats voted in the affirmative eight
members were absent or refused to vote and
two or three of the opposition voted with the
democrats in the negative. 1t is generally
believed that the bill will pass the Senate and
the responsibility of its final success will then
rest upon the Governor. The bill in all its
de-ails amounts to nothing more OF less than
u donation Of the Main Line to the Pennssl-
rania Railroad Company, and we have no
doubt was so intended by those who origna-
ted it. The State will lose by the operation.

This sum in 1890, when the first payment on
the principal is to be paid, will amount to
more than $4,000 .000-the amount to be

the purchasers. 1t is true that the bill does
not prevent private individuals from purcha-
sing the work, but there are conditions an
nexed to their right as purchasers, which eff
fectualy operates as complete prohibition
1t is therefore designed. that this important
work shall pass into the hands of the Penna
K. Il. Co., at a most ruinous and shameful
sacrifice, and that too, without the people be-
ing consulted in reference to their wishes o.
the subject That money has been freely
used, IN forcing this measure through the
House is not to De doubted 1t is singular
Us well as a suspicious fact also, that men
who for years We're fleeing the Treasury, by
schemes of fraud and plunder, on this same
Main Line, have been busily at work at Har-
risburg in favor of its passage. OF course
these harpies have not been actuated by any
honest motives, bat are governed by pecuDi-
airy considerations. What care these old
lIeches on the Treasury, if even by sacrificing @
the best interests OF the people, they can put
money in their purse? What care they for
the honor aud credit of our State, if by sac
rifcing both, they enrich themselves? 1t
is useless to pursue the question If we mis-
take not, there Will be fearful day of reck-
oning, for those members who voted for this
infamous project; they have perpctrated a
grievous wrong they have battered away, to
grasping and dangerous corporations the

TO THE PEOPLE OF PENNSYLVANIA
Come 10 trse slescuei
Your Taxes are about to be Entailed upon
YOU Foreyerii

There is now pending before the House of Rep
resentatives bill for the sale of the Main Line
Of the canal and railroad belonging to the Com
monwealth, which Is the most stupendous fraud
upon the public revenues, and upon the best in
tereSt Of every tax payer, that has been pro-
posed in the Legislature of Pennsylvania, and,
strange as 1t may seem, there is at this moment
strong indications of its passage.
This bill proposes to sefthe Main Line, exten
ding from Philadelphia, including all the rolling
stock, machine shops, depots, collectors offices,
lock house lots, and other property along the
line, not including the tonnage tax, for the sum
of s. 100000, if purchased by individuals, or if
purchased by the Pennsylvania Railroad Compa-
ny, including Tie tonnage tar, for the sum Of S9-
OoO 600. 1t is impossible, in the short space of
time allotted to us, to expose at length the
nifty of the details of this bill. tits sufficient to
say that 1T gives an advantage to the Pennsylva-
MIA Railroad Company over any other purchaser
of several millions of dollars. The company are
merely required 10 give their bonds for the pur-
chase money, bearing FIVE per cent. interest, the
first payment of ten per cent. not to 10 due for
thirty years. In addition to this great sac
rifice of your property, the company are permit
ted to abandon the Portage Railroad and the
Western Division of the Canal. thus sacrificing the
capital invested by private individuals in business
along these lines, distance of one hundred and
forty seven miles. But not satisfied with this
sacrifice of the public interests, the bill releases
VIC IoiHP"hy hcili patilltub oi all tdAes
whether for State, county, city, township, bor-
ough road or school purposes, upon its capital
stock dividends, their city Office palaces. and pro
perty of every description. The following stats
teal statements taken from the public records
will show the manner in which the bill proposes
to rob you of the revenues which have been wrung
from Your hard-earned tolls, and to throw them
into the Golfers of mammoth private corpora
ton. These statements are based upon the re-
ceipts and expenditures of the Main Line for Is
b6. The prospective value Of the line is not ta-
ken into the calculation. All the improvements
of any consequence, which contemplated have
been completed. The receipts of the present year
up to this time, exhibit an increase over the last.
The opening of the Broad Top region, the best
bituminous coal region in the State-the largely
increased coal business along the line of the Por
tage Raroad-the erection of new furnaces and
the opening of some of the best ore beds in the
State, on the slopes of the Allegheny mountain,
give far promise of large increase of tonnage:

overgrown corporation for the paltry sum of
1000 900, payable iu forty-three years. Nor is
this all. You have no security for the payment of
even this small sum. The company are requi-
red to give their bonds for the purchase money
without any other security than lien upon the
property purchased portion of which they are
authorized to abandon long before the first pay
