Every person who shall fail to make such a

LARGE PURCHASES OF PUBLIC LANDS
We have seen recently notices of large
purchases of Government lands by East.
ern capitalists. Over q million Of acres
in Michigan are mentioned as having
been bought by some half dozen per.
sons. This ekempli6es the incomplete
ness of the homestead law. At the pres
ent standard of our currency, the Gov
eminent realizes only about eighty cents
an acre for these lands. For this nomi-
nal sum they are mouepolized. and the
settlement of the country retarded. Con-
gress should either double the selling
price. or stop the selling Of the public
lands entirely.
The proper time to do this is now. for
mutations Of the currency invariably
cause land sseculations. and this undoubt-
eddy will. 1t does not come so soon as
speculation in commodities, which are
more available for trade aud transfer,
but when it comes the momentum is like
ly to carry prices above the currency ex-
pansion, as we see it does in some other
articles whose rise has made great specu-
lations.
