REASONS WHY.

A3AOV1Ho Ways
' Why should We vote for a tax o
t two per ccntto aid in building tn
e Plymouth, Kankakee 4 Pacific Raj
Q road?
q First--Because IL the road |:
e built, Plymouth becomes the easter
, terminus and thereby secures tn,
machine shops, round house, &c, o
> the road, which alone will add 200,
inhabitants to Plymouth in less thar
: two years.
Second-Bscause the compan,
will commence work at the east enc
OF the road for the purpose of pro
curing the timber, rail rosd ties
de-, to be used on the entire line O,
the road in this county; thereby
causing the road to pay 10 the citi-
zens OF this county for ties, timber,
lumber, &c, over $l50,CU0 before
a single dollar of the tax voted
has been paid to the road.
Third-Because it will give en-
ployment at repiunerative wages to
large numbers of poor. laborlng
men, thereby enabling them to sup.
port themselves and families
Fourth-B ecause it will make
market for all the produce our farm
ers can raise during the next two
years, at good prices.
Eifth-Because it will build mn
Plymouth from an Insignificant
town of of twenty five hundred in
habitants to city of 10 900, in less
than four years.
Sixth Because it Will benefit the |
farmers, mech anics. merchants: and
tailoring men, by placing more
money in circulation among us.
whereby trade of all kinds will be
increased. and our citizens saved
from the sheriff, bankruptcy and
ruin.
Seventh-Because the building of
this road will cause the building of
two o.ler roads here during tho
next two years. One from Lieo.
nier, and one from South Bend.
thereby making Plymouth the great.
est Railroad center north OF Indian
apolis. in the State. which fact alone
will canse Manufactures of d # ent
kinds to spring mp like magic in our
midst, in which thousands Of work
men would he employed.
Eighth-Because the road will he
! permanent piece ofproperty in the
townships Of Centre and West. for
VII time to come. subject to taxation
or county anil township purposes.
hereby makir @ the taxes on other
property in those townships lower
han they otherwise would he besides
Which the road will more than double
he value of real estate in this por.
ion Of the county before three years.
Ninth-Because, if we fail tn vote
he two per cent. tax to aid i'm build
ng the roai. then it will not come
lere at all. But will be built via:
Rochester to Fl. Wayne. thereby
orever deriving us Of all the fore
.oing advantages. Fort Wayne
laving already agreed to give al00-
700, and Rochester $4,000, if the
will build on that route
md abandon Plymouth.
Tenth-Because a crisis has has
.ow arrived in the history of Plym.
'uth and vicinity; and the vote on ,
lext Saturday will decide her future |
lestiny Ifshe refuses to aid in this

ortun e and gloom. Men OF wealth ,

tores and private houses will be !
dveriised for sale or to reLt" without .
,uyers or tenants; and the du.lness oil
perpetual Sunday will close down upon
Ter. But If the friends of the rosd succeed
n canying the election. then business will I
evive. Money will he plenty. New
houses and and stores will he built. Men =
# wealth and energy win come here. and ,,
