He laid before the House a detailed history of the construction of the Union Pacific Railroad, which has already been recited in outline to the reader. He asserted at the outset that "it was universally esteemed not only a measure of sound policy, but a scheme appealing to the patriotism and loyalty of the capitalists of the United States, as the ...instrument whereby a future separation of the Pacific from the Atlantic States would be rendered forever impossible. " The two acts of Congress in 1862 and 1864 are described in all their provisions. The two roads are sketched as running a race across the continent, each building five hundred miles in a single season, " through a desert country, upon a route beset by unparalleled obstacles, and at a neces- sary cost largely in excess of the most extravagant estimates. " Presi- dent Lincoln is described as "urgent that Congress should not withhold the additional assistance asked, " and as " personally advising the officers of the company to go to Congress for such legislation as would assure the success of the enterprise, declaring it a national necessity, and recommending them to apply for additional concessions, ample to place the construction of the road beyond a peradventure.
