Excerpt from Message of His Excellency, Governor Oden Bowie: To the General Assembly of Maryland, at Its Regular Session, January, 1872
The amount will be more than sufficient to entirely wipe out the matured debt of 1865, and probably that also of 1870. Let us by all means pay off what debts have matured before incurring others, or wasting money because of an overflowing treasury.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides an in-depth look at how the state of Maryland enjoyed a period of reasonable prosperity during an interval since the last General Assembly convened. The author assesses economic indicators, such as the increased efficiency of internal improvement works and augmented business. In doing so, the book also acknowledges a loss of a distinguished state senator who had significantly contributed to prior legislative sessions. Given the state's financial health, the author recommends continuing the retirement of public debt, passage of a law requiring money due to the state by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad to be devoted to paying off matured debts, and cancellation of the sinking fund to the extent invested in 5% stocks. The book goes on to discuss such topics as education, immigration, and a boundary dispute between Maryland and Virginia, advocating for a resolution that would prevent future conflict. The author also analyzes the cases of the state against the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, arguing for the state's right to impose a tax on the company's property. Overall, this book offers valuable insights into the political and economic landscape of Maryland during a pivotal period in the state's history.
