give them the advantages that the Senator
from Iowa assumes would accrue, and l
presume would. to them, under the law.
But. sir, time has demonstrated the neces-
sity of the repeal Of that restricting law
has demonstrated the necessity of placing
| these lands upon the same footing as public
lands il ether States because none of these
lands TO speak OF have been taken up, and
| there has been no manifestation on the part
Of the people Of desire, to any considera
bic extent, to enter upon these lands under
| the present law. These broad acres lie
| open now. They can not BE- entered. Thou
sands and thousands of acres in the States
Of Louisiana. Mississippi and Florida, that
might be entered and would be entered by
| people from the North and from the Middle
States, as well rs by people who reside
there. can not now be entered and never
| will be entered except under the homestead
| law. The homestead law and the home
stead law alone, applies to those States
| My Obicc: is to remove that restriction. and
allow any person to enter land under the
homestead law or by location. l do not
| ask that these lands be exposed to sale. us
| the lands in many of the States and Terri
| tories are: simply ask that they be subject
| to location under the homestead law or by
| pre-emptiOn.
| confess can not see why the Senator
from Iowa should desire to place a restric-
ton upon the lands embraced within 1ouro or
EVc1 States thal ne Is hot Wiling 10 see plit
upon the ianus III MS own state. Is true. 1
understand him to say. that he IS willing to
have the law general; but after having had
! the advantage of the old law i'll his State,
| and induced immigration thereby, | fail 70
| the reason OF his asking that that
strictIon should DC placed upon other Mates:
ME- HARLAN: instead o1 Iowa having mad
! an advantage from the Jaws the honorable
senator refers TO- M my opinion they nave
| been OF very great detrlment to that State.
