Every landholder woo boulid its jostire and in po-
licy to give up a portion of his income; but while
lie gave up • portion, he *lmola not be required tio

landholder was rioting in riches and luxury. Surely
it could not be said that the igriculturista wished •

claimed. How very prepoderowo this is will appear
io everroner--even the most storricial observer,

38 millions of dividends ore paid, there was not,
