RAPID PROSPERITY OF ONO Ohio was
wilderness exclusively occupied by the Indians
until near the close of the last century lnlS0O
its population amounted to 40, 365, in the next ten
years it had increased five fold, and in the ten
which followed it again more than doubled. In
1870 it had reached 100000 souls all free and
almost without any adnixture of the colored tace
In this short interval the forest had been tians-
formed into a land OF steamboats,. canals and
hourishing towns; and would have been still
more populous had not thousands of its new set
tiers migrated still father west into Indiana and
Illinois. A portion Of the public works which
accelerated this marvellous prosperity were ex-
ecuted with foreign capital, but the Interest OF
the whole had been punctually paid by direct
taxes.
There is no other example in history, either in
the old or new world, Of so sudden rise of a
large country to opulenee and power. The State
contains nearly az wide All extent Of arabic land
az England, all OF moderate elevation so rich in
its alluvial plains to be cropped thirty or forty
years without manure, having abundance of fine
timber, temperate climate, many large naviga-
bic rivers, ready communication through Lake
Erie with the north and east and by the Ohio
with the south and west, and lastly, abundance
oil coal in its eastern counties. / am informed
that, in the beginning of the present year. 1912
the foremost bands OF emgrants have reached
the Platte river, tributary TO the Missouri.
This point IS said to be the only halfway be-
tween the Atlantic aud the Rocky Mountains
and the country beyond The present is as fertile
az that already occupied. De Tocqueville cal
culated that along the borders Of the United
States, from Lake Superior to the Gulf Of Mexico
extending distance OF more than 1900 miles as
the bird ilies the whites advances every yeara
mean rate Of IL miles; and he truly observes
that there is a grandeur and solemnity in this
gradual and continuous march OF the European
race towards the Rocky Mountains He COM
pares it to g deluge Of men rising unabaiedy
and daily driven onwards by the hand Of God"
