OF the extent and value Of our home market
for produce, il is needless for us to repeat what
We have so often written--that in no other part of
the West. is there anything like an equal demand
for agricultural products; to supply, the Indian
tribes on the Minnesota and Mississippi rivers, 10
supply the forts, and TO supply the great and in
ereasing business Of the pineries and the manu-
facture Of lumber. Every fanner has natuHal
tariff to protect him, equal TO the cost Of ship
ping the same kinds Of produce which he offers in
market, from several hundred miles below, by
eamboat; added TO the insurance, und the profits
Of the prodace dealer--all which, is more than
fifty per cent premium in his favor over the farm
er who lives down the river and who has no such
home markets as ours, at his door. Add to this,
the cheapness Of choice lands in Minnesota, our
freedom from the burden Of State Government
aud the moral, intelligent, and industrious charac-
ter Of our people, and the immigrant. if he is a
man, and expects to live by ereriioa, will find
