Ed. CHIEr:-Sir, In order that the
people OF the valley may have free dir
cussion on this all important subject,
l have so far intruJed ON your space
- to submit the above to them. in the
form Of motion. The question of q
railroad. is the question of the hour
With US. Give Us . railroad. the main
artery through which flows the coa,-
~. rcisl blood of the present age, and
every nerve and sinew Of our Kepub!l-
eau body corporate will feel aud derive
. benefit thcrefrom. For, unless We
~ . people, do make Al effort to in
fuse sowe life into the present normal
conditio s Of our joint system, our
progress 10 prosperity will be but slow
while We are suffering financially for
want Of Z market that would absorb
our surplus farm products. The vot-
ing Of bonds for such y purpose, will
be bitterly and strongly opposed by
those who have nOt carefully studied
the bcneir that they themselves would
derive from, such 40 institution. Be
sides the enhancement 10 the value VI
property, the stimulus it would give to
immigration, the encouragement il
would give to capital, the rise in the
price Of our commodities, the saving
Of freight. time aud labor, the conve-
nience to public travel. It would show
that We are sos an inactive Indifferent
class Of people. but M that thinks.
scts, aud is alive to their own necessi
ties.
Those who have fought the eight,
struggled aud suffered during the last
Eve years; aud have brought the
present. out Of chaos, should place part
Of the burden on the future. Those
who are to come after Us. and Who will
enjoy the result Of our labor aud im-
provements. without suffering any OF
the hardships We have suffered, in
bringing the valley Of the Repub.icsn
to its present advanced condition, can
not srumble il they are called on to
pay their quota Eer The comforts we
leave them. -CooseQucntly Why not
bosrow money 20 carry on those im-
provewesss, and make The future do
its portion 10 paying of the indebted
ness. This is only just aud fair. The
only objection l see to it is the tend.
eacy it might have in ccntralixing cap-
itsl too much, BY putting the country
10 the hands Of . few bond holders
But wen taking it in that light, the
present age is to far advanced in the
science Of progress for US TO recede,
while other parts around rs are en-
deAvor NJ to keep 10 advance Of the
current of surrounding circumstances.
Therefore let Us put our sbou ders
to the wheel, and give progress m
other turn. Having advanced 60 far.
it will not do for Us to lay back on u
oars Let the word be passed along
the line and every ps2er j. the valley
take up the question, let the people
pro and con talk the subj ct amongst
them, for in oil great questions much
talking has to be done before it comes
to an issue, add let the motion 1t the
head Of this letter stand until the mat
ter 10 decided one way Of another.
O'SULILvAN.
