By: Penrose, Charles Bingham

This is a transcription of a speech delivered by Charles Bingham Penrose in the Senate of Pennsylvania in 1836, concerning "An Act to Repeal the State Tax On Real and Personal Property, and to Continue and Extend the Improvements of the State by Railroads and Canals, and to Charter a State Bank." This historical document offers insights into the political and economic considerations of 19th-century Pennsylvania, particularly regarding taxation, infrastructure development (railroads and canals), and the establishment of a state bank. Penrose's arguments and perspectives provide valuable primary source material for understanding the challenges and debates surrounding state-level economic policy during this period of significant growth and change in the United States.
