Mr. SHERMAN. The Senator was not list ening to what I said when I rose, and therefore I will repeat that I withdraw a remark I made in reference to the Baltimore and Ohio road the other day, and I believe that road is endeavorin to facilitate communication to the points I desire most to accomplish; that is, to make a line of road from its road to Pittsburg. If the State of Maryland will go one step further and authorize the construction of a railroad, so far as it can, across the State of Maryland, from this point toward Philadelphia, and open up a new ine of communication in competition with one of her existing lines, I think she will have done all that any of the States could demand of her. The State of Pennsylvania, a great, power ful, and wealthy community, has stood more in the way of the railroad svstem than proba bly any other State, with perhaps the exception of NewJersey. We in the west are not af fected so much by what is called the NewJer sey monopoly as we are by the policy of the State of Pennsylvania. Those who travel from here to the NewEngland States, passing through NewJersey, are constantly atfected by it and constantly complain of a single road in NewJersey which has a monopoly of all the railroad travel. The complaint that has been made with us has been that the State of Pennsylvania has concentrated in a single corporation all the wers conferred by their law upon any iailroa. The Senstorfrom Pennsylvania says that Pennsylvania is a very prudent State and will not charter new companies until they are shown to be profitable. I can only only that if the State of Pennsylvania will allow other communities and other people to build railroads in that State where they think they will be profitable, they taking all the risk, there will be no further complaint made of that State. But until then, as long as she confers upon one corporation all the powers she ants to any railroad, there will be continua complaints; and when she endeavors to compress into one single channel of communication all the vast commerce of the West there will be continual complaint.
