Du: az a question Of reysnGe merely. II
would be the advantage Of the Govern
ueut 10 grant these lands in homestsads 20
actual cultiystors, if thereby it was to in
duce the se,tlemcn. Of the wilderness, in-
4 Ny s1ta F4e
without settlement The revenue 10 the
Government from the lands, if considered
annual, is the iGteres. on the purchase
money; which would be on = quarter sec
ton, at one dollar and twenty-five cents
per acre, the interest On two hundred dol
lara equal, II SIX per cent, to twelve dol
lars per year.
But as the revenue Of the General Gov
crnrnent with the exception Of the sHles
, Of the iandsJ is derived almost wholly from
duties on imported articles consumed IN
the country the amount collected depends
upon the quantity consumed. On an az
e!age cash individual consumes Of impOr
ted articles about eleven dollars worth per
year; and calling seven the average num-
her Of family, then each family con-
sumo annually seyenty-Gve dollars worth
Of imported articles, upon which duty Of
not less than twenty dollars was paid
So the Government would be the gamer
Of eight dollars per year on each quarter
section, by giving it away TO 4 settler in
reference to selling it without settlement.
In addition, az you cheaper the necessg-
RIGS and comforts Of life, or increase men :
means to pay for them, you increase their
consump tion; and in the same proportion
as you increase the means 20 pay for i'm
ports, you iucrcase,the consumption Of home
products and manufacturers SO that the
settlement of the wilderness by a thriving
population is as much the interest of the
} old States as OF the new. The amount
| now received by the Government Of the
settler for the land, would enable him to
! furnish himself with the necessary stock
| and implements to commence its cultivs-
| ton.
| For the purpose of education, building
I railroads, opening all the avenues of trade,
and of subduing the wilderness. the best
disposition to be made of these lands is to
/ grant them in limited quantities to the
settler, and thus secure him in his earn
/ ings, by which he would have the means
/ to surround himself with comfort and
make his freside happy, to erect the
school-house, the church, and all the 9th
| er ornaments of higher civilization, an
/ rear his children educated and respected
members of society. This policy will not
only add to the revenues of the General
Government and the taxable property Of
the new States, but will increase the pro-
ductiye industry and commerce CT the
whole country, while strengthening the
! elements of national greatness.
