Mr. Mason argued against the government
lnaugurating new system of bounties payas
Die IN advance, with view of inviting Labor
and capital to undertake the work. The expecS
ea'ions held out to the contractors, he said are
llluslvc. The road will cost from 500 600 GOD
to 500 ,000,0 00 of which the government
gives $25 100000 in money and 20 900 GOO
acres Of land. VIII any substantial contractor
, take such risk? He was forcibly Impressed
with the conviction that if government can be
induced to touch this thing with its little finger
it will have to pay for it in all time. 1t was
, fortunate, however, that these lands were WORTH
less, else system of fraudulent credit would be
| built on them that would result in another
bankruptcy. lie would oppose every bill in
every shape, that proposes to bring an Unsuitable
, swarm of spectators to the doors of the treas
ury, by donations Of public moneys or lands.

r without saying when or where it shall be con-
structed. He had learned that there will soon
be bill offered to borrow $50, 600 900 or $50 :,
| wv, 900 at least. 1t was also mentioned in MfI
r SlIdellS recent speech, that Cuba may be had
by negotiating. lie wished to know if this
was the settled purpose of the administration /!
because after paying 5000 900, 600 for Cuba, 1t
: may not have enough to pay 500 600 900 for
the Pacific Railroad Although he admitted
e the energy Of the country, he did not think it
was competant to do both Adjourned

0 motion to take up the bill for the admission of
