THE UNION PACIFIC AND THE
GOVERNMENT.

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
In the course OF your admirable article In this
mornings issue on the prospects OF the spring
trade you take occasion to warn the public against
buying the stocks OF railway companies (which
propose to pay dividends by cheating the govern.
menL" The phrase and its context show plainly
that you refer to the Union Pacific.
Knowing well that you mean to be fair and Just
to all men and corporations and that you have no
interest, directly or indirectly, III Wall street
speculations, ask OF you very few lines OF space
to repel the charge you bring against the CON-
pany, in which am Interested. The financial re.
lations OF the Union Pacific with the government
are not matters OF conjecture or inference. They
are distinctly defined by law. BY those acts, dated
respectively July 1, 1862, and July g. 1854 the gov
eminent made contract with certain parties con.
stltuung the Union Pacinc Railway Company by
which tne company agreed to Duild railway from
omaha TO the termination OF the Central Pacific,
TO equip IL ana run IL at the company's risks and
perlls, and the government agreed In return Tor
this great service to the nation to issue to the
company $2700O,oo0 Of United states SIX per cent
thirty year oonds aud TO gr mt 1t about twelve
million aci es OF land In the wilderness 1t was
further stpua ed that the principal OF said sub
sldy BONDS should DC paid at maturity by the com.
pany. AS TO the interest thereon 1t was provided
that the company should repay to the government
such sums as 1t (the governmentl should pay out
for tue coupons, first, by allowing the government
TO retain IN It's hands one-nai the amounts which
might become due by the government TO the COM
pany for transportation, and, second, by the pay
ment by the company to tue government OF five
per cent OF the net earnings after the Completion
OF the road. NO other mode OF reimbursing the
government nor It's payments OF III ney on account
OF interest on the subsidy bonds was suggested m
the acts. No other was Contemplated.
Under The law, therefore, the government has
no claim on the company Tor the prime. pal OF the
subsidy bonds until their maturity, TWENTY-FIVE
years bence and no clam at alt Tor the interest
PAID thereon except IN the way designated pv
law, tnat is to say, through gradual pay meujs Tor

OF sufficient time in which TO perfect the necessary
arrangements, and the distinguished ladies' and
gentlemen who had become identified with the
matter would not risk a failure. Some who had
volunteered their SERVICES In the first burst OF
enthusiasm found that other demands upon them
would preclude the carrying out Of their impulse.
The undertaking had 10 walt and 1t has now settled
