All this vast sum of money lost in freight bills to the producer of wheat. because there wus no part on the const of Texas to hundle his €rop for export! Then imagine, if you dan, the loss in freight bills to the farmers on all tho | products of this great coantry which are seeking an outlet to foreign shc I through the ports on the Atlantic sea- d, pouring further riches into the effete cnst, and only coming back 1o us | when we exchange a mortgage for them.

Would it not be folly to refuse to do so in the face of all the facts and figures which are or can be adduced to prove its valus to the ag= ricultural and commercial interests of the transmississippi?
