LOAN BILL

assLet All keep IA mind that on the 18th
Of this,month oil legal voterss maysote
on the amendment % The constitution
which, # carried. will merely give the
State the legal right 70 afford the Rail
Read,companiesl certain facilities in the
construction Of their roads.
The construction OF these Roads il
or the greatest Importance 10 our State,
and il exclusively for the benefit OF It's
citizens. Therefore, whatever aid can
be given them without injuring Minneso-
IA, no one will dispute should be freely
given. Now it is not proposed To- aid
them to the amount ofone dollar without
being amply Unidentified against loss.
All who examine the Loan Bill i'm
partially, must be satisfied that Il is not
possible for, the State to sustain loss UNI
der its provisions. 1t is most strange
that it should find a single opponent il
any part of Minnesota, and stranger
still that It should meet with opposition
from those most to be benefited by il.
We are well aware that such opposition
will avail nothing, but ii shows the
strange anomaly Of men working against
their own best interests. It can hardly
be credited that any one can expect to
secure political capital by such course.
for II is sure, in our estimation, to po-
litically curse such as oppose il, il the
measure is finally adopted /; if it is car
ried, the people will lave an opportuni-
tty Of witnessing its effects upon the
State, which will give the lie to all the
evils It has been prophesied would grow
out Of it. s aat8a Az
Minnesota wants these roads COM
snenced at once. 1t is Of vital impor-
tance to her future prosperity. What
afs these companies shou d lose their.
charters. For one we should prefer to
renew them again. TO having the State
undertake to build them. Look at
Michigan. see the immense loss she sus-.
tainedbv attempting to construct her own
Railroads. She became deeply invoiv-t
eds and was then Obliged to- put them
into the hands Of companies. So il
probably would be with Minnesota
should she undertake these works her.
:teIf, and on their complexion notwitt,-
standing the aid afforded by the Land
Grant, ssa debtfMould be saddled upon
her far more onerous than would be the
5000, 900 Loan Bill, allowing all to be
true that Is said Of it, by its opponents
Go TO the polls ON the 18th and vote
for the confirmation ofthis Bill, and you
will perform duty you owest to the State,
toryourseIf,9 and to posterity. The good
effects Of this system will be at once
visible on every side Of us, IN a. revival
offbtsihcss, IN a restoration Of conf
dence between neighbor and neighbor, /
and in the speedy development Of the
resources of4onr beautiful country.
