Take. again. the route from Rock Creek to Fort Custer. a distance of between two hundred and three hundred miles: On this route the business has so grown that a railroad is about being constructed. one county alone contributing $400.000 to the cost of construction. These are great communities that are being supplied by this starroute service. They have growl up suddenly. it is true. because of the almost lightning speed of the movements of immigration and business on our frontiers. But I say that this House would act rashly if this prompt increase from weekly to daily service and from a speed of two to six miles an hour should be accepted without other evidence as proof of fraud. whereas in fact it is in almost every instance evidence merely of the abounding energies and progress of that great region. the business of which it is now proposed to interrupt and injure by the reckless legislative abrogation of all their mail contracts.
