RlVERTON, Franklin Co., Neb.
January 29 Ii, 1876. J
Ed. Chief. Although I do not
consider mye'f AM I'll try if I Coin
say something in favor of a Narrow
Gauge railroad. And though it may
be evident to everyone, that all the
main lines in our country are broad or
medium gauge lines," it does not fol
low, as an absolute necessity that noth
ing less will do us. In fact, this i one
reason Uy L. should prefer the narrow
gauge, for the re:ion that Denver be-
in the western terminus of the line,
where we cspect to market our pro
duc. as a consequence, every point
along the line of the narrow gauge
Railroad wil h lve more of a fall of
trade and trafic into it -Bec.iu-e farm-
crs naturally will .send their MulF to be
.shipped over the line charging the
least freight. Therefore, if we have
anarrow gauge railroad up the Re
pablican- valley, those who have goods
to ship would even come from the
vicinity of the broad gauge, to send
tbcm over the narrow; for tha sake- of
the reduction in the price of freight,
and more especially when they expect
to sell them lo better advantage in the
we.-t, than they would in the eist.
Now sir, what care we for an eastern
market, when the mineral mountain
regions wen of us, is able to consume
all we can raise, not even now, but for
nearly all time to come Those moun
tain -repum--, which are incapable of
producing human food, team with
mineral wealth, men will naturally
seek employment inthose-plaees where
it is most Dlentiful,-aod wage highest,
and- as- a re.-ult, the population of-
those regions wtH alwaxs be saobQ !
number- us to be able to consume,
directly oriadireotly, all the necessaries
of life we cm-spare them- And -indeed
it would seem, as if nature had so ar
ranged the geographical- structure of
both mountains and- plains, tfaat one
must live by the other. The miner
ue,5?1 nd nl3jr will the f(rst cV-th-1
ing and implements raised and manu
factured on our plains and the farmers
mechanic-;, and artizinsof the plains
will require the gold, silver, iron, coal
and other mineral productions of the
mountiius in cxchar.gc for them. And
just in proportion as one grows in pop
ulation aud wealth, so will the other.
Henie, we see but little danger of ever
glutting a western marker, and even if
such should be the case, as soon as
ever capitalists wiil see it to their ad
vantage to do so we will have such a
gauge railroad as the prosperity ofthe
couutry will' call for. As for shipping
hos, grain, horses and cattle to Chi
cago, it is abovt time that the farmers
ofthe Republican valley, and indeed
those ofthe whole South Platte coun
try, should fart their attention in
some other diri.ctiou for a market ;
aud the sooner-they do so the better,
for the monopolies comroling links be
tween hpre and there, leave but very
little meat on the bone by the time it
reaches Chicago, and a- a natural cou
sequence, the pioducer is the lo-er, in
the game of commercial three card
monte. What can be more discourag
ing to the agiiculturist, than to be
compelled to work hard all summer
long and then obi g d to part with
nearly the entire of his surplus crop,
in order to meet his taxes, clothe his
familv aud keep his team aud imple
ments in working condition. There is
no money in our midst nor do we ex
pect any, until we get a railroad. The
only thing we huve to depend on at
present for money is the immigration,
but that will not always la-t, and as a
genera! thing the class of immigrant
we get are of the poorest kind, fur
those with any large capital, will not
get away from a railroad. To ue our
be.t efforts then, to get a Viilroad, i
our imperative duty. That is if we
have any interest at stake in the coun
try. Why should we oppose a measure
that we know will be a benefit to us.
.Men ate afraid of bonds and taxes.
Why sir, this is childishness. Don't
those people know, that as soon as a
railroad is in lunumg older up this
valley, that it will be ci-ier to get a
dolur, than it is five ecu 9 now, T.'Xcs
indeed, when in reality by voting
bonds and getting a railroad their taxe
will be mueh ie.s then than now,
which isaheady well proved by figuic-.
And about thi-. matter of taxes, there
is something strange in the fact, that
it is those who have no property to
pay taxes on, are loudest in their de
uouticeation of bonds.
Then in the name of fortune, let us
have a raihoad, broad, narrow or me
dium, I care not which, but letu- have
a railroad and if the present genera
tion are trying to build up a couutry
it is nothing but ju-t, that those of
the future should help pay for it.
