S&H ;;ti TheiOfis no Ml tbcompare with, it ; but, sir, the onlv caules jwhiehjiave rendered so valuable as our agricultural country have lsotertaitf rea sons rendered it unhealthy. It is no disparage-, ment to say the country unhealthy at parucuiar times, and ij'it were not, sir, it would have too many advantages.! i j . Now the habitants of this rich country are! in the habit of leaving home in the summer lor health onrl iiUfiir : and at the watering places ofJVir- u I ' . . - i i . i oves, thus the money ransportation is f iwonfiousand per -cent., or nearly u . i;t Is w'hilA it costs one dollir or one dol- lar fifty cents per ton of freight foptiBteiy.l.OQ miles on the railroadHtsrAventylollars by wagon. nd,sir, two tonsYre a very heavy wagon load ; and for every ton so hauled, there must be a good en-, m and rive, or six spirited i horses, this is a cUw well as e.xoensive way of ffoing to market; but aVIry few xf the kinds ot produce1 miae can be so transported, and the price of these may change five or six times before they get to their destination. - Thus our people have no inducement to improve 4heir lands; and it is a iamvhar tact . with us, finishing, as it may be to you, sir, and i fnenus, tuat it is harder to sen man ti nnr Aast to make. , We do not cultivate rhalf the kinds ot produce that we can raise in abundance ; and of the arti that we raise, we do not produce, the tenth it takes one half of , the ) ear to get oil w hat we make during the other. jwjlt suppose thafihe.price-fcrfcauiing by wagon isS icetsipfer; hundred weightfbr 100 miles;; and suppose that it will generally qal in w1n aiv-ordinw to weiodit. the article of flour. ; iXXhin flrair-MolkailfA' "tMiifinndred; the cost of netting wto riarket is exactly one fourth of tl CD quotank does this,) it would make over $9,000,000. If such is the present amount of their exports, they fXr-it S2.-.iOO0O. of which, by railroad, they wou'.d save at lent 82,100,000; and if they do not now export half of this amount, it is all for the want of means of getting to market. ... Xor will it do to sav that a railroad would des troy the vocation and" the profits of wagoners. It 3s a singular tact that, though the producer pays one-fourth of the value of his article to get it to market, the carrier makes nothing. A railroad would actually increase the business of these tl,,r number would be multiplied, ana lutum.y shorter distances, with more to do, and sure certain business, their profits would be enhanced. Sir, when the producer is making, all those who carry and trade in his articles can make; when he can make nothing, t)ie carrier cannot make. . JNow, labors between them ; with a better state of things they, would share the profits. And, Mr. Speaker, let me tell you a secreta secret worth knowing, and one which, if generally i .i,i ln.re the sentiments of many gen- tlemen on this floor in regard to the proposed bill. That secret, sir, is this: that uie 1110.0 -c --nn to n ,.f rtain noint, for works of interna! improvement, the lighter you make the taxes in j proportion to the means of the people. Ihis, sir,, is not a p.radox ; aud let me proceed at once, and: with a verv few facts, to demonstrate its truth. I hold in my hands a memorandum, which 1 will read : The report on the last census shows that " The Farm lands of the United States are set down as amounting to 1 18,457,622 acres of improved, and 184 61 348 of unimproved; total 303.078,9 .0 acres, worth in the average $10 per acre f 4-Vtsi L arm lard; of Massachui Connecticut, New York, New- Jersey, and Pennsylva nia is about 830 per acre (iNew jersey svania lowest;) 1 while Maine, New Vermont average about $lo per acre . e ; arc rather Qumrised toseethe Farm lands of North Carolina SShQiSfiS Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and I, &in fie average below 5 per acre. Should the average be maae in iwnu v.a.w..i. . , Uear it would fall on the average as low as $2 per acre. In connection with this statement I may remark j that three hundred millions of dollars would be a liberal estimate ot the present vaiu u. t - r . happy and contented, and a imputation rapidly increasing, with 4 the pleasures of existence multiplied ten fold. -But this is not all. In such a state of things the taxes would be more equally diffused over tne State; and our rich eastern friends would no longer have the sad luxury of complaining that they pay all the" taxes. ' , or is this all vet; for if our 300 millions should be increased to 1000 millions, our improve ments would become capital investments, and more than pay f x -themselves. They would bo over crowded with business; and their income would . pav back the cost of construction while they would i " i;,lf, i.rodl.riouslv to tlv taxable property of the wnntrv. Our Treasury, therefore, would overflow; and" then, sir, we could add new and n our Literary -fund, anu uiaw m- nart of the amount'that we would, if we could I wo o Massachusetts, Rhode Island, set it on our hands, tins is our great irouoic, liiye aumt j ranrements for the education of every tLuIan - rtH judicTous improvements iire ancillary to eaca' other ; and all combine to develop that chief growth of earth, man, to stimulate his powers, to ennoble his facultiesand to minister, to his happiness.-. All these improvement, tend alsoo multiply employments; and this is-a fact wliich universal experience opposes to theory. It was once thought, ... and some reasoning a priori , sti'il contendthat the invention of labor saving machines throw people - out of employment ; but such has never y prun ed to be the tact. Take a State without improve- merit : there are-but one or twp callings, and these are laborious and pay badly, while a vast portion of the population are driven off. or left m idle pov erty Take any SUte on earth with many im; provemente, and we find an opening for everybody, We all know that mankind are created with an infinite variety of tastes, aptitudes and necessities, mental, moral and physical ; and unless improve-.., ments open a wide field for diversified talents the ;.r irfc of the neonle are left to pnae with in tolerable lassitude, are driven off, Iff ust ayy in icrnorance and dissipation. , t c.-. w;ti,r.nt. imnroveinents a universal Ian- 111 Oiaica n .vvm . j . , 4,. ,o.,iat the ntibhc miud there guor seems vu t- w no excitement but in politics,;or in v to the growth of. all the rinia, at Saratoga, aud at all tjie cuies an rate zones, and every acre places of the North they are found in dn hp verv highest state of ! scattering dp ther States much ot U seize nroductions of the: temperate. of land is susceptUHe ot tne -very Veadize from their exuberant crops, their improvement.
