National railroad from Lake Michigan to Pacific Ocean proposed
A prominent Ohio figure advocates a grand national railroad project linking Lake Michigan to the Pacific near the Columbia River, arguing it would fuse Atlantic cities with Asia trade, boost Ohio interests, and require government support without costing the United States a cent if it fails. It also urges fiscal prudence as Ohio's public debt nears critical levels and calls for tax law refinements while praising state credit and infrastructure gains.
