THE OMAHA DAILY BEE- THURSDAY JUKE 23 1881 OVER THE RIVER. The Principal Work Done at the Barge Line Convention , "Who Were the Speakers and What They Had to Say. Humorous Reasons Why the c Missouri Should Bo Im proved. WHy the Barge Lines Ought to Bo Established. And How This Desirable Ob ject Can Bo Secured. Tozt of the Principal Addresses that Were Delivered- SKNATOll flAUNDKIW. Hon. Alvin Snunders , Bonator from Nebraska , called on to address thd convention , said that howas heart and noul in sympathy with the objects of the convention , a fact which no man knows better titan you , Mr. Chair man ( addressing Mr. Ilogaii ) . Turn- init to the dolecalcs ho said , I canto to hear you talk and toll what you want ino to do , giving n full expression of your views. Mine are pretty well known. I took grounds in the donate in .February last , in n speech in the senate for an appropriation of one million dollars to ho expended bo- twccn Sioux City and the mouth of the Missouri. The committco re ported in favor of 81,800,000. Wo got only $300,000. Congress is not informed on thin matter. I could name senators who didn't know that a ntcamer over rim an high iwthis point. "How do Btcainboats got to Ne braska ? " asked ono. "Very easily , " I replied , "on the largest rivorintho world. " "But-1 thought , answorcJ the senator , "that tlio Missouri river was hack of Kansas. " But ignorance will bo overcome. These rivers must bo opened. They are the only free highways that the people own. I am not prejudiced on this subject. I am a railroad man as well as a river man. "Wo want all the rail roads wo can got and twice as many : is wo now havo. Tliero is business for all. "Wo go to work and start rail roads , and help pay for thorn ; wo open them with great enthusiasm , and the next day wo coino out to denounce them as monopolists. This is nil wrong. If the railroads nbuso their powers and their trusts wo have our remedy in the courts , and the legis Matures and in congress. But there are sonio things which wo of thd west cannot afford t ( demand of congress. Wo only cut ourselves offfrom the ad vantages they give us when wo nsk congress to pass n law establishing jnilongo rates between our section find the great markets. Such a policy would isolate the wost. But it is just what the east wants. The cast has water competition and low rates , and wo can have the same advantages if wo go to work , not fighting the railroads , and open the river to cheap transportation , so as to enable us to compote , not only with the markets of the old world , but with our own. Wo need to open up communication with the floutli and give them our grain and 7 > ork > so that they may use thoirgrouml for cotton. Wo are nothing if not an agricultural region. If wo cannot find market wo are cut off and must live in poverty , when wo ought to bo the richest people in the world. The place to begm is in local meetings , in boards of trade.and in conventions. The senator then , referred to the market which shb'uldibo opened up in Brazil. Wo buy fifty millions of that country and sell them but live "mil lion , mycar--nob because wo do not Taisowheal they want , but because wo have no ships. j What wo do ship has mostly to go via Em ono , Now , start there barge lines , and lay our products alongsidevtho sea vessels for Brazil , and wo f shall , have ono of the best jnarkotaj 'in the ' " \vorldj almost' at our ' doors. I did vote once , I believe , for "mono poly ; " I voted in favor of grant jug a subsidy to Roach , to enable him to open n line from Now York and Now Orlaans to that country. That was the only meaim-I qould then * Jsoo to give us of the west this important advantage. , W < J want the privilege of doing tho'best wo can with 'fair ' ( play. Delegates of UiOj convention , wo of Nebraska will give you a helping hand ; and let us unite and show congress that wo can justly claim a fair share of the millions it spends , in aid of the richest valley on earth , which only needs an outlet and a market. Follow up your demands till you are hoard by congress. Wo have been slow in this matter. I received more thanks tor the olFortB I muJo from St. Louis that from Jcwa , Kansas and .Nebraska to gothor. Cease being slow in this tiling. Wako up and go to work , and your object will soon bo in fair way o' accomplishment. Gov. Gear was then called for by the convention and spoke as follows ; I am , as a citizen of Iowa , ono who has long been identified with its ma terial prosperity from the time when I was a boy , from the time when my friends , Senator Saunders and Sona tor llebard were on the outskirts o civilization in south-east Iowa ; I say as ono who has been identified with thcso interests and the material deyel opuient of Iowa and the west , my whole heart goes out in these enter prises. ( Applause. ) 1 hold it a sol emn duty , Mr. President and gojitlo men of this convention , of the govern inont to improve this river or any other river whereby these products may be cheapened. It may do good to resolve , butyou must do something moro than resolve. Unless you do more than this you will never get uny thing from congress , and I uin glad to BOO these honorable sona tors "And members' of congress hero mooting with the people - plo to know their wants , because they trill understand that there is some thine beyond the moro resolution They will understand that the people are in earnest about this mutter. Wo have 5,000 mileu of railway in Iowa , but that was not enough to carry the surplus products during the last year. 'Vfo are Jayuig.dowur < VthouBa d'milos ' " . % i * r "V r .B " * * * ' " , nero now , and when the present crop comes to its fruition they will bo tested to their utmost capacity. AH a distin guished railroad man said the other day , the time is not far distant when there will bo a railroad built every five miles , but oven with that wo still want these natural highways which liavo been given by God himself , upon ivhich every man can launch at pleas- ire liis own craft , whether it bo a canoe , steamer or barge line , that ho nay ship his produce to market vrhcr- } \orliomaywishsuchasthodcmandsof commerce may require or market prices -tormit. The poonlo want the auction f the whole world ; wo do not want market to Liverpool via the great .akoa and Now \ork alone , but wo want a market tnoro via Now Orleans Mid the mouth ot the Mississippi river. Wo want n market to the South American states and Mexico lo nect the great lines of railroad , which arc being projected there. Wo must neilalo this matter and reiterate our demands on congress until they grant thcso just requests. The people who pay the taxes and support the government have u right to sav that ' .licso honest and just demands shall bo carried out. I don't care whether t shall bn for ono or five or for fifty nillions of dollars. Theao two rivers and their tributaries penetrate thir teen states and if it can bo shown that hcso are necessary for cheapening the products of Iowa , Missouri , Kansas , Virginia , Ohio , Indiana and all other states , then it is the solemn duty of the congress of the country to make this appropriation year in and year [ Hit until this question shall bo solved of cheapening the transportation water-ways of the country. ( Great applause. ) Senator McDill was called and ad dressed the convention as follows : Hit. CHAIRMAN ANI > GKNTLEMKN OF THK CONVENTION : When I tell you that I was born and reared in the Mississippi valley and never got out' side of it until 1 was thirty years of ago , you may understand that I favor thcso resolutions. Ever since I came to the timo'whon I could understand what might bo the development and growth of the country I have been im pressed with the idea that the time was speedily coming when wo of the Mississippi valley would have to wake up to the necessity of devising ( some means by which wo could tret oil" our surplus products. There is nothing loft for us but ruin ; nothing but the destruction of our products by way of burning cornasMr.lloganmentioned , unless wo had found a way out to market for our surplus products. Now what are wo to do ? \\o are to take lessons of wisdom from the past. Wo are to 'study the history , not only of our own country but of other countries , and see how it is that men have succeeded in advancing their own interests , and in advanc ing the nations and peoples in which they toil to bring them on toward civ- ilzation and toward analyzation of what man can do. And now from such a study every ono will rise with this conclusion , that man has succeed ed best and has been the greatest ben efactor who has in some way seized upon the mysterious and energetic 'orcos nature has provided , and made liom the servant of man to accom plish the purposes of mankind. [ Ap- ilauso.j Think how wo have seized Irst ono and then another force and rained it and harnessed it to do our ivork. For five thousand years the ; cake tlo bubbled and hissed and sung mid steam was useless in helping man nlong toward what ho wanted to ac- iomplish. At last a Watts seized this ittle force of nature and wo have the tcnmboat , and the railway system md the thousand uses that man makes if steam. Again tuko the electric nark. For five thousand years it was ho plaything of the philosopher , which amused thb child , nd the old man all wh had over seen it in the dark. At last it occurred to the genius of a Franklin and a Morse to put it to use 'or man and then wo hod the tolo- > raph and all that may come from1 it. Wo have men whispering thbjr secrets to fellowmen thousands of mt cs away over the wires , or under the waters of the mighty ocean , and all because man hud learned to seize and iiHoiChoao forces of nature. And this forcoV" " o mysterious is to-day man's willing bond-servant. Now 'wo have a difl\ } \ culty to meet and the forces man has\ \ provided have proved utterly inade { quate. Great as our idea is of the ca pabilities of this valley , my own opin ion is that the man who would at tempt to toll what would bo the pro ducts of the Mississippi valley ono hundred years hence , or what would ' bo Us'iponulation , would , bo , regarded as a madman , Wo cannot conceive it. Wo cannot count the products. Might as well attempt to count the Bands on the seashore , or the stars in the firmament , or the blades of gross on the prairie , as to toll what would bo the food- products of this great Mississip pi valley. And now in our infancy , a now people , hardly used to the meth ods and forms of conventions , so that our worthy chairman was almost com. polled to coax us to make motions , Wo are becoming oppressed with the burthens of our surplus product. The railroads cannot do a tithe of the work that must bo done for the .Mississippi valley. Why ? Because there tire certain thini's necessarily connected with railroads that make thorn ef ficient. I don't ' want to bo quoted as : against railroads , for they do their work well , but they are not enough. From the very nature of a railroad they have to bo operated by ono as n company that acts together as ono man. .Rivers are not so used , but n railroad always must bo owned and operated by one and it is an impossi bility that a railroad shall over bo a free highway. AnotherdilHculty with regard to railroads is that until man can learn ( an impossibility ) how two trains , ono coim'ng west and ono going east , shall meet and not have a col lision , there can never bo free passage upon the railroad. Not BO upon the river. Passage and re-passage is as easy as the blow ing of the winds. Then again , as the working of the railroad is artificial , the oxjxmscs of operating it wto and always must bo enormous. I do not see how tlu y can bo reduced mucl below one-half of the earnings. Therefore wo find that in the near future-oven in the piesont wo must devise means to got otf our surplus products. As I said a while ago , a man sous best whim ho sees the forces of nature. Look around ; you are ii great difficulty. What "do you see' Why , just before us is a mighty river sweeping down to the sea along the western border of Iowa , laving the shores of states nnd territories. On the eastern shore * of Iowa is another nighty river. Let us seiro thcso forces of nature and use them. God Almighty built this highway. Ho made the preliminary survey for this route in thu early times spoken of in "loly writ when the sons of God ihoutcd for joy. Ho it was that se cured the right-of-way in the early jmei when the earth wai without 'orm and void , but was beginning .o take shape. Ho it was who fur nished the motive power freely to the sons of men , and a power exhaustless n supply. The steam power of rail ways is the result of toil , not only in n sustaining it but in digging into ho bowels of the earth to get the coal \nd how the mighty waters swoop [ lown continually when you nnd 1 and fill of us shall ho dead and gone. There is no difficulty in finding howe o use it. Why have wosolonsjswopl upon our privileges and upon our du ties and upon our rights ? Simply bo- causa of constitutional doubts and technicalities and quibbles. But 1 think I can speak for my friend and colleague in the senate when I say that ho and I do not need any instruc- Jens for five , twenty-five or lilty mil- ion of dollars if it is necessaty to dc- . elope this great work. [ Senator Saunders : "Not a bit of itrj And no man can persuade us that wo ought to give ton millions of dollars for the Four Bigbeo river nnd exclude the Mississippi and other local aflairs. Hence your work is not so much with us as with our bretluon who Jlivo outside of this great Mississippi valley. I don't know how you can reach them better than by a literary bureau , Your secretary should gather statistics and printed pamphlets , figures and facts and state ments with reference to the Missis sippi valley , its present condition and future prospects , not for Senator Saundcrs and myself to read , but for your distinguished gentlemen from Now York , from Virginia , from Dela ware , who have an idea that because little Delaware was ono of the original thirteen that all the rest of us are usurpers in this great valley ( laugh ter ) nnd that every cent wo cost this government is an unwarranted ex pense to the nation. It seems to mo this executive committee ought to bo sleepless , working day ami night , teaching , as did the old prophets , line upon line and precept upon precept , here a little and there a little , until the minds of these eastern gentlemen have some comprehension of this great western valley. [ Applause. ] You _ may fail in this great work ( a voice : "No , sir ! " ) but wait a lit tle longer until the next census gets to work. I prcNinno wo will bo able to take it with thosogcntlemen , ( a voice ; "Just so. " ) and make our appropri ations continually. But wo would like to have n recognition of this won- : lorful Mississippi valley from these who live outside of it. I don't know that 1 can say any thing moro. I want to do everything I can to make these rivers navigable , so that these barges can carry our J grain to the market. Lot UH not get discouraged because an objection is raised hero and there. When I was returning from Burlington the other day I met a very good gentleman friend and I told him I was going to thobargo convention at Council Bluffs. "Well , ho says , "it is a great hum bug. " I told him that I did not sup pose it was , and asked him why. Ho said the grain would heat. I did not know , but I didn't believe a word of it , and when I hoard Mr. Hogan explain that matter and say that these barges carry this grain in a refrigerator virtually , then I un derstand that the box car is a oed deal hotter place than the barge. [ Mr. Hoga : "No doubt about it."J There are always neoplo ready to iloubt in this world. They doubt their own existence , and oven some times doubt that they are clever fol lows ; and some others of us doubt it too. There are some propositions al- nest mathematical , nnd one is that God Almighty would not have made that mighty Mississippi river simply for the purpose of washing elF the farmer's land in the spring 01 the year That when Ho traced its way and filled it with water and sent it to Iowa through the valley , Ho intended it mould bo used by the people. There a way to got the use of is river ; wo need it , lot us \tako it , and use it.

They in Wall street think they are strong , but wo have a Wall street with gold in its mountains. Let us shut up our banks and see how they will tremble in Now York.

John Hogan , being enthusi- istically called for , rose and said : NoWj sir , I want to make this ntato- incnt in connection with what my friend Chase has said about Wall itrcot and about Now York. The principal antagonism of importance o our great commerce comes mainly 'rom the power of Now York. I will say ns Senator Saunders said , and every gentleman hero who was in the last session of congress , when the bill was passed appropriating some two nnd one-half or nearly two and thrco- ( uartor millions of dollars for the irst attempt of any magnitude for the mproveinent of this river , will agree with mo that we had the support , with almost perfect unanimity , of Massachusetts , of Rhode Island , and of Connecticut. Wo had the lupport of the major part of .ho . south , but our antagonism came chieily from Now York , .nd the woiking classes of Now York being opposed to these movements is , ' , o my mind , a very singular thing , Why is Now York opposed to the im provement of others commerce ? She s a great empire state the concontra- ion of the wealth of this country. So ar as her interests are concerned it is partly selfishness. As has just been said they don't care to co-opcrato. They don't care a cent about us , so : hey give us away on the establish ment of barge lines. They think if ho Missouri is improved and becomes capable of convoying its grains by jarges it will lead Now York , and New York will not bo the great ox- lorting place of the Western valley , nd their occupation , sir , will 10 in some measure gone. \Vp ought to contemplate ' .his thing a little. Wo have heard a roat deal lately on the subject from Now Yorktheir vast trade , exchanges , > tc. It is an absolute necessity to . mvo , this canal , nnd it would bo only ; ho proper thing to do if the govorn- nent voted sixty millions right out of .ho treasury to accomplish this. Now , gentlemen , I ask why is it in the last ten yearp that Now York never said ono word about this paying canul , which was a source of immense revenue. Why lias this cry been raised suddenly. The writing has been seen on the wall , and they who saw it have stood and trembled like Delshazaar trembled when ho saw the landwriting on the wall. "Tho barges ! The barges ! ! " They are coming to take the western produce. Gentlemen , wo have got thu means of transportation and wo have got the knowledge hiw to increase the means of transportation so that our neans of transportation shall be ade quate to the demands our great people are making upon it. Talk about your little ditches ! Gen- tlomcn , hero is a great vehicle of trans portation Wo have iv canal of 2100 niles , and all wo want is n little nppio- _ ) riation to make it fully valuable. When President Thomas Jefferson bought the Mississippi he gave to this republic an empire. Mr. Eads pro poses to open the mouth of the Missis sippi rivor. Ho wants to make that the channel of the world , The north didn't object muih , the cast didn't object > much and they passed the bill. They passed it be cause they believed it n humbug. 1 hey said as soon as you got it done wo will then pay you. Ho accom plished it and they began to haggle about paying , but perseverance and indomitable will said it shall bo done. When the Mississippi opened its big mouth right un hero at Illinois , Ne braska and Kansas , it said , "I have got a big open mouth , come nnd fill it. " Do you over think of the mar velous actions of Providence ? Sup pose the pilgrim fathers and ethers had come into the valley of the Miss issippi , would there have been any Now England ? ( Laughter. ) I believe if facilities were given to send their illimitable productions to the markets of the world through those rivers , this country would become the might iest empire under the sun. I am very glad that you have taken the bull by the horns , There is a slight mistake in the report which I wish to correct. I have heard Mayor Sutor's report. Ho says ns the chair man of this convention says , that this river is the most perfectly capable of improvement of any river anywhere that from Sioux City , to the mouth of the Missouri , twenty miles above St. Louis , there is not an obstruction of a solid character to bo met with. The cost of improvement of this river to Sioux City , eight hundred miles would bo eight millions of dollars nnd will make such an improvement as will give from ten to twelve feet of " water all the time , then by filling banks from this low water ho will make a channel for the floods that como so that there will bo no more overflows destroying this beauti ful valley and its illimitable products on the banks. Eight millions vou ask for five. lie asks for ehht. I think you might just os well be hanged for a sheep as for a lunib. If you only nsk for five millions you may got only ono. If you nsk for eight millions to do this work they will say , "Thoso fel lowp nro in farnost ; they mean some1 thing. " Tip man that asks largely and persistently is bound to get it. What wo have got to do is just to know that wo meant them to help us nnd shall got MraskaLaMAgency DAVIS & SNYDER , IGOG F rnham 81 Omahn , Nehraika. -9fcOOOOO wSLGJEUEIS IVtrefulty iclectftl Imd In RMtorn Nelinwk * for wile Urcftt IUrjpin !
