Mr Dntant was before the Wilson Investigating
Committee to inquire into the manner OF building
the ni0n Raelflc Railroad on Friday. From his
sworn evidence It appears that amer the road had
been built 70 the 1OOth meridian under what are
known as the Hoxie and Boomer contracts the
Company cOOstmcted s3S mlles more under the
supervision Of Its own officials, at cost of s27,-
go per mile, including equipments.
Then the contract was made with Oakes Ames
und transferred to the Credit Moblier to complete
aud equip the road, at from S47,500 to $1O35O
per mile, Increasing with every section OF 100
miles Of track westward. This contract was made
to apply 70 tho 238 miles already completed
ls to say, the Credit Mohilier agreed to build that
much pqqd at about $4,000 par mile, which was
already built, and bad coat only S27,500 per mile.
Tho Union Pacific directors made this remark
ahle contract In October 1867, and, two months
aterWard they took from thFiF treasury % $50 coo
In nrst mortgage bonds of their road, and 80 $50
600 In their capital stock, and handed II over to
themselves ias directors Of the Credit MObilier
Tor division among the stockholders in the latter
concern, OF which they were the chief. This was
the profit ON the 23S miles Of road which was al
ready built when the contract was made, and Il
was elphered out by dedncting from the Credit
MObllier contract price the actual cost OF the
road. The balance furnished a dividend to tn,
Credit MObllier stockholders of 100 per ceat. OF

GOVERNMENT RAILROADS.

II there Is any one thing which we
may assume has been settled by the
recent panic at the East, 1t Is that the
Government must build no more rail-
roads. 10 the abuse Of the land SUBJ
sidy question may be rightly aud d.
rectly attributed the financial convul-
sion which began with the failure OF
the chief engineers and promoters Of
the Northern Pacific railroad scheme.
It is pretty we'll understood that Jay
Cooke & Co. were induced to embark
In the visionary enterprise aud to un-
dertake a venture in which Eu-
ropean bankers declined to risk
their capital by the firm assurance
that If they got into a tight place the
Government would help them out In
some manner. There Is no doubt but
If they could have postponed their fall
for II few months longer, they would
have had a good prospect OF gettinga
bill through Congress which had long
been In preparation, guaranteeing in
terest on their bonds, and thus In ef-
feet pledging the Government credit
to build their "wildcat" road. Ih
fact it is we'll known that even In the
present disastrous aspect Of affairs, this
railroad management intends to petl-
ton Congress to pass the bill above
referred to. II they should succeed in
forcing the passage through Congress
of this "grab"-for it Is nothing else
the mania for building Improbable
railroads and canals with public money
will again rage even worse than here
tofore, and all sorts Of schemes for
"unlting imaginary cities with costly
iron highways and bringing the WIS.,
i6nary commerce OF problematlcal
communities across mountain ranges
and trackless deserts" at the cost OF
the National Treasury and for the
profit Of private spectators, will fill
the air.
It is time that this system Of using
public moneys and public lands for
private speculation and personal greed
was broken up. Time that another
aud more stable basis be had for rail.

way building. Whenever and wher-
ever railroads are needed; wherever
the demands of business so require
their construction as to promise GER
tain and fair returns for money In
vested, capital will be found to build
such roads. Money Is always seeking
investment and will be used whenever
sound business judgment promises Or
binary returns. Aud the converse Of
this proposition Is also true: No rail-
roads need be built where the business
which they eau safely count upon does
not promise, nay, guarantee, al ade-
quate interest on the capital Invested.
The hot.house system Of so-called 'de-
velopment of our western country,

Is now no longer any necessity Of
opening remote regions to settlement,
or bringing distant communities with
In easy reach Of the political aud COM
mercial capitals Of the nation. We
have more country ''opened now
than we a settle in a generation. A
route which will pay will always at
tract capital. and one that will not pay
has certainly no claim to DO built
either BY Government or private mon-
ey. We believe that for any legit-
innate business enterprise, which can
show a reasonable guarantee Of pros
perity and return upon the money i'll
vested, capital can always be obtained,
and also that enterprises lacking this
quality or prospect are not worthy Of
attempted execution by the aid Of
either private or public capital. In
other words and as epitolnized by a
most clear-headed writer In the New
York Tribune on this subject, "If the
proposed new transportation routes
cannot be opened without aid from
Congress then they are not adequate
remedies for the transportation diff
ficulties and should lot be attempted"
This although written with regard to
the proposition Of a Government rail-
road FROM Chicago to New York, Is
equally true aud applicable to all
routes which cannot be built without
the use of public money. They are
not needed, and should not be built.
When they become necessary and offer
fair returns for the capital Invested In
their construction, there will DO no
dearth Of means to build them.
