that all Of public land is not of the same intrinsic
yaluei that the best land in state Of nature is not
worth more than 81 rs per acre; that inferior land
Is not worth that sum- that il is unjust 10 require
and another TO pay the price for the most infe.
rior land; and hence, that some bill graduating the
price OF said land ought be passed by this Con
gress. have also explained and yndicated the
provisions Of this particular bill ....b
IL now remains for me TO show the advantages TO
be derived by this government, immediate and
prospective, by graduating the price of the public
lands. " III.
This body has already passed bill modifying
the tariff bill or 1912 revenue measure; and al
though an increase Of revenue ID anticipated under
the operation OF the new system (should the Senate
perform It's duty, and pass the blli,) yet Is ex-
tremely doubtful whether that measure, under the
greatly increased expenditures Of the government
resulting from the war with Mexico, will produce
revenue enough. IL is therefore our duty, as the
representatives Of the people, TO direct attention
TO the public lands, which, next TO customs is our
suresi reliance in times Of need, and ascertain, il
possible, whether by a change of system in dispos-
ing Of our public lands we cannot augment the rev.
enoe from that source. ..
Land, like other property, will only bring It's value
In the market. II the owner holds IL at too high q
price, 1t will not SELL but Il reduced to its market
value, purchaser is usually to be found That
Of the public lands have been priced above the
market value, is proved by the fact that they have
been liable to entry for twenty years at 81 25 per
acre, and no purchaser found, and probably never
would be at that price. These lands under the OPP
Grafton Of this bill, will be subject entry at 50
cents per acre; that Of them will be entered at
this reduced price, no man can question. IL so,
here ssn immediate increase Of revenue to the gov
eminent from the sale Of the refused land To what
extent an increase Of revenue from this ma
be relied on, is impossible to tell In my opinion,
Il will be very considerable; more less, II will be
something, and that something we need
Let now see what number Of acres Of the
public domain will be subject to the operation Of this
bill. fnd by reference to the statistical tables the
following facts;
