THE Pacific RAILROADS IN
CONGRESS.

There is al ominous grow tising
Throughout the country. and even max
s,g itself heard in the halls of legisla-
ton, tn the effect that some steps should
he taken 10 check the spendthriit
proGigality of the Central and Union
Pacific Railroad Companies, and to
compel them TO begin to make repay
ment to the people OF some part of the
lavish sums that have been advanced
70 them. The bill which is now the
chief text of Congressional eloquence,
since the settlement of the silver ques-
ton, is the judiciary Committee bill to
amend the Pacific Railroad Acts OF 1862
and 1864
This bill recites that the liabilities OF
the Central Pacific Company amounts
to more than ninety-six million dollars,
and Of the Union Pacific to over eighty
eight millions; taken together, one
hundred and eighty-four millions. or
An Indebtedness Of hundred thousand
dollars per mile of their road. Never
theless. these companies have been
regularly paying enormous dividends
TO their stockholders. The capital
stock of the Union Pacific Company is
$50, 00O, 900, and Of the Central Pacific
$54. 600. 600; together, 800. 100000. On
this nominal capital stock, after paying
bonded interest last year OF nearly
100000, a dividend of eight per cent.
was declared, amounting to over 81
600, 1000.
The amount advanced by the govern
ment TO each of these roads was over
twenty-scven millions, and now
amounts. together with the accrued in
terest, to the payment of which no at
tention has been paid, to pretty snug
sum, which the companies seem to feel
but little relish toward paying or pro-
viding for.
Hon. Sidney Dillon, the President of
the Union Pacific road, III a statement
To the Secretary of the Treasury in
1875, said For the very large amount
advanced by the government. the only
security 10 q second mortgage on the
road. and if it be allowed to accumu-
late. without any provision being made
to meet it, the company will be utterly
unable to pay it."
AS an argumeat against the effort
now being made in Congress to compel
these companies to make provision for
tho discharge of this debt, their advo-
Gates claim that it would compel them
to increase their rates for freights and
fares.
