THE NECESSITY FOR i RAILROAD TO
BEDFORD.

BEDFORD.
We have repeatedly caIird the attention oi
our people TO their great need OF ralIraad com
munlcalion with the Eastern cities and TO sup
ply this need, have earnestly urged them TO
make liberal subscriptions 10 The Bedford Rail
road IFe have appealed 10 you, friends, bat
your Interests dcp,qaa Of you, to do what you
can toward bringing this enterprise TO success
iul termination. The sshard tmes,'' of which
we daily. hear you complain, remind you Of
your great necessity for railroad and Of your
duty 10 90 TO work and make IT, You hear
that money is abundant in The cities, and ye
YOU lament the want of il here Why is this2
Simply because you have no market-no cheap
mode ol transporting your grain 10 the cities
and, consequently, no opportunity OF exchang-
ing the products of your labor for their value in
cash. Is this not true! Have you not,
you are 4 farmer, hundreds Of bushels Of
wheat and corn slowed away in your granaries,
which, in Philadelphia, would bring you fair
price in good current money? And have you
not stored away this grain merely because you
cannot sell it except on time!
The effects Of financial panics are always felt
doubiy as long in a country where there are no
railroads as where there is communication, 10y
those thoIoughiares, with large cities. The
reason OF this is obvious. The great majority
OF The banks Of issue are located in the cries.-
The wheels OF Trade and Commerce are SET N
motion there. The first impulse Of renewed
life IN business, after the occurrence OF mon
etaFy crisis, is given by the cities Thus, in
wing Impulse, Their business operations must
come directly under its influence, aud this is
impossible without railroads.
LetuS, therefore, make The Bedford Railroad,
and when the aeXt panic comes, we need not
fear that ii will hang upon Us for months and
months, like he incubus that seems at present
10 bear US down.
