Mr., Duuncll: NC. from this district
took quite a prominent part in the debate,
upon the McCrary bill, which recently
passed both Houses Of Congress. We pur
pose giving no epitome Of his remarks,
but merely to state that he believes fully
that the PxorIE have all necessary power
tn control railroads, and other corpora
lions for carrying freight and passengers;
and that 1t is the duty Of Congress to reg
ulate Interstate commerce. i. 9. 10 80 pro-
vide that freight In its transit, shall not
be subject u the payment Of toll. that the
several states through which it'.passcs
may exact; but that it shall be subject to
such rates, only, as may be established
under the authority of the general
government The question is one
Of preeminent Importance to the
people In the northwestern. states,
becauscr We not only send our pro
dace sc<he east for a market, but we ny
st'least three fourths Of our supplies near
the Atlantic seaboard-compelling the
payment Of freight by US In both dircc-
tions. So long as We shall continue to
do this,-any action by which the price
Of transportation may be reduced, Is
highly commcndablc and will be appre.
dated by the constituency of every west.
ern Congressnen. While Mr.. Dunnell
occupied his time largely in discussing
Tive questions raised by the opponents OF
the bill, he nevertheless enunciatcd such
independent propositions upon which the
right Of interference BY Congress is based,
As to merit the attention Of all the indus.
trial classes. The speech will repay a
careful perusal.
