bIsvll be admitted, that with the crude ele-

aA benss6csnt Providence has aggregated the
crude suu elements Of fertility in e1haustiess guam
titles all over the world-upon islands Of the
saa, and in the sea itself and elsewhere.
Natase! however, does not yield her treasures
without an equivalent. Coal is found en-
bssdded in mountains; the precious metals are
held bound in the quartz rock, and are adapt
al to the uses for which Nature designed
them, ,enly at the cost Of labor, enterprise aa'd

state are not in condition for practical utility,
but modern science has developed methods by
which they are capablefof the highest utility
to the most important Of all interests. Hence,
while nature furnishes the crude material, and
science the method still capital, skill enterprise
