tor the company. rhey want the whole

gentleman SzvS the Government has
done great deal for the company. The
remission u taxes WAS allowed hy the
Legislature. The injury 70 the hSrbor /
have already mentioned. but II has no
thing 70 do with this bin When we give
an exclusive franchise we don't give any
thing thSt has Snv value. When this
roSi waS built, nothing was done Tor the
company, except 20 grant them the
franchise. This bill IS different affair,
sm not strongly in favor oi ii, but il the
House wish 70 pSsS 1t, well, God bless il.
The railroad Is Is much benefit TO the
country Ss 70 the owners That is the
WAY We mus look az IL Don't let Us In

Noble MScfzrlAne-I Sm not in favor
o; the indefinite pos,ponement Of the bill.

ment viii have 10 meet the obligation As
I sm thst I stand on nv feet The re-
csipsS cannot possibly meet the running
expenses Of the roSi. Ii had five mil
{ lions u dollars now snd no other invest
ment for II but this railroad, would
keep nv money IN NV pocket As re-
preventative o. the people. think il
would De wrong 70 support putting their
money into something ! wouldn't put
I nv own into. Why should we build
costly railroad 20 reach lands which are
SlreSdy reached by vessels lying in this
hSrhor. Il Is not ike running railroads
inland IN the United States TO reach
lands which otherwise have no market.
Here We have only stripes OF land two or
three miles wide. This bill calls for an
expenditure Of 500 per mile yearly by
the Government II there were any
prospec; o. ANYTHING Ike that in return,
! might favor il, but / can positively
assure the House tia, nothing OF the
kind viii ever happen. Our public debt
is nezrly $500, 600, and the present
appropriation bill foots up 81 500 600. one
and hall million more than our income.
II wSs remarked thsl the rejection Of the
bill would involve that Of the Hsmakus
bill. II such demands are made IS these,
