Mr. WHVNTWO TH. Now, Mr. Speaker, I was at, one time the mayOr of a city; and we sometimes arrested meiifor playing what was called “the confidence ame. [Laughter] l Now, sir, I shall no vote this number of millions out 0!the Treasury in any enerons confidence. I know and have prove to this House bym friendfrom Ohio [Mr. BiNGiiAu] there is at ast one man who does not know anything about it. I believe there are 9 out of ten who are in the same position. ere is nearly a page of names of men from different States in the Union. But where is the report? I call the attention of the House to the fact that We hAve not asingle report to uide us. Suppose it man has to defend himsefif for supporting thismeas are; suppose he makes a statement and one in the crowd alleges that it is false, what can he do? Give us the documents; that will settle the matter. it is the question of veracity. That man will have to write here, “ My dear friend, he so kind as to send me the report of the Northern Pacific Railroad Company, as I am seriously attacked on the subject.” We will have to reply there is no report. It is, as has been remarked, voting money out of the Treasury without a report. Now, when you see a man with eyes which cannot hear light you may conclude they are Weak. If men shun light it is because they cannot hear it. [Laughter. 1 I am one of the individuals who want light. I want to know whether I am to take this or not. Give me responsible railroad men, take out the names of politicians; take out the names of claim agents; give me responsible railroad men, one from each State, and I will vote for this bill. I will do anything to get a fair and honest Pacific railroad. t I have sought information from the House to know to whom this money is to go; who will give it to me? One would suppose, Mr. Speaker, what the really wanted was money to build the road There is always something else in these octa of incorporation. Hence acts of incorporation should e watched. More than all we should watch acts amending ts of incorporation. Let us see what it is. this said that the people of Chicago are to be benefited by this. so, then I shall be benefited with the peeple of my pity; teal attention of the House to the sofl git kids should go to the ComPubLands,
