city last week, apd while here ascertained that
a former member of the Second Maine who at

probably saved his life, was living here. He
sought bis benefactor out, and met him for the

The CENTRAL PACFIc.-President Stanford
of the Central Pacific, in an address at Sacra-
mento q few days since, defended the road
from the structures made upon it, and gave its
financial history In 1860 half dozen men
met at San Francisco to consider the project of
a railroad across the mountains to the Nevada
silver mines, which should be a nucleus for
Pacific Railroad. After much difficulty a
company was organized to build road from
Sacramento to the State line. Then the Pa
cifc Railroa bill was procured from Congress.
The credit of the Company built 81 miles,
when f1nds and credit were both exhausted.
An appeal was made to the State aud $3.50, 900
funds procured from which $65O,OOO was real
lied. The Government bonds brought in $780,,
100000, and the Company bonds about $1,000
OOO President Stanford goes on to say:
There was another class of bonds, our own
promiseS-like your own notes that You give
when you borrow money-from which we
realized about another million, so that we had
substantially $50, $50, 900 in gold coin to build
a railroad from San Francisco to Ogden. That
is what we had. About $160O0000 of Gov
ernment money, aud the balance from our own
promises to pay. and State and county aid, fer
which we gave stock, o build the Pacific Rail-
road, $40 miles il length.
When we had passed tho mountains we had
used up all we had; all the bonds were sold our
road mortgaged 100 miles in advance, and our
credit used as far as we could We were hare
ly able to pass these mountains upon sucb
means as we bad. Then what are the benefits
from this road? Mind you, this late political
canvass was made, railroad issue by certain
classes of people of California. They held ms
mp as dangerous, and they made people believe
it. That is the way 20 account for the result of
the vote. They paraded constantly that the
State has to pay on that million and half of
our bonds 100000 yearly
9 Well, now, has the State been the loser by
that? WHY, our taxes this year were about
$3.50. 900 on al the railroads with which | am
connected; and that on the Central Pacific
alone was about 100000. So that there is a

FARMERS DEBTs-In his address at the
Worcester County, Mass, Agricultural Fair,
last week, Senator Boutwell, said: do not
imagine that Massachusetts farmers are gener-
ally in debt, but am quite sure that some of
them have applied their annual earnings to the
payment of mortgages, when the money could
have been more proftaby used for the improve
ment of the farms. 1t may seem strange that
| should suggest that it is not wise always, and
nnder all circumstances, to pay debts. 1t is
told of Mr.. Webster-but whether with any
foundation in TRUTH 1 cannot say-that in
speech at Philadelphia, on festive occasion,
when Pennsylvania was embarrassed and her
credit impaired, he insisted that her public debt
must be paid Warmed by the occasion and
subject, he said: "The debt of Pennsylvania
must be paid; it shall be paid-if L pay it my
self" And them after little delay, he add
ed, "but as to private indebtedness, that is a
different thing" Private indebtedness, gen.
tlemen, under some circumstances is a different
thing from public debt. 1 do not speak of
the obligation, but of the wisdom of delay with
the consent of the creditor. Public debts usual
~ represent the cost of wars, of public build
,ngs, of enterprises too vast for private under
taking. There are no available assets except
the private property and the producing power
Of the people. Every delay shifts something
If the burden from accumulated wealth to the
weath-producing classes, The interest on the
public debt of England can be wrung largely
from the labnring classes but the principal
..onld only be paid from the accumulated
wealth or from the Income of the accumu lated
wealth of the country. The logic which forms
the base of British policy on this subject is
clear. The wealthy men of the country re-
ceve from the laboring classes interest at three
per cent. upon a debt which they themselves
ought to pay. Hence the policy of Great Brit
ain, dictated by the wealthy classes-no surplus
income, no payment of the public debt Her
example teaches that public debts ought to be
paid, and paid with the least possible delay;
out private Indebtedness, under some circum-
stances, is a different thing. If farmer has
half the sum of money necessary to buy farm
suited 10 his tastes and plans, there can be no
The debt is secure; it is represented
by re al property. There is hardly any personal
responsibility attaching to the debtor. He en-
JOYS the use of the land upon the payment of a
certain annual rent, subject only to the chance
of rise or fall in the value of the estate. Every
improvement is for his benefit. The debt is an
annual charge to the extent of the interest
nothing more. If the farmer can use his an
nudl gains in the development of his farm, in
the Increase of his products, he adds to his
wealth more rapidly than he would by the pay
ment of the debt. The debt is fixed sum;
the increase in the value of his farm shows his
gains. 1t is certainly wiser to add to the value
# the estate than to diminish the incumbrance
while the owner has not all the means in his
business that he desires.
