the hundreds Of thousands who have arrived IN ths
country have been so instantly absorbed that their
presence has been unfelt, and that the more we
Received. the larger was the quantity Of food, fuel
cloth and iron given in exchange for labor but
such il the natural result Of system which tends
10 enable the miner and the worker in iron, the
spinner and the weaver, to combine their exer.
tions with those of the farmer and planter. Had
the policy of 1928 remained unchanged, and were
we now receiving million OF men, the only effect
that would be observed would be, that wages and
profits, and the power Of laborer, landowner and
capitalist TO command the good things OF life
would be steadily increasing, and with each steI
forward the tendency TO immigration, and to in
crease in the value Of land, would grow with &C
tolerated pace. We need population.

The laborers of the world have one common il
terest and that is that labor should become every
where productive and valuable. The more whe6
produced in return TO given quantity OF labo
the more Of it will the shoemaker obtain for h
work, and the more advantageously the sho
maker can apply his labor, the more readily VI
the farmer provide himself and his family vii
shoes. Such, likewise, is the case with nations
II Is to the interest Of all that labor that all shou
become productive, and if the labor OF the cotto
growing nation become unproductive, that of Il

Increased difficulty Of obtaining clothing.
The landowners OF the world have one comm
interest, and that lie, that land should everywhe
become productive and valuable. IL does so
come with every increase in the skill and intel
gence OF the laborer, as may be seen by a compa
son Of times present with times past in eve
improving country, or by comparison Of the va
Gas countries Of the world at the present mome

where cultivation is carried on with ntelliger

Every increase in the facility of obtaining RI,

is therefore directly interested in the improven
