LANDS tor the LnndIesx.

Once our government had an Immense
domain OF public lands 1t was intended
that these lands should become the prop
erty of he bold pioneers who moved
westward and settled upon them, the gov
ernment making only such charge per
acre for them a. would be reasonable pay
for the survey. Lands for the landle>s
was then a popular cry But, alas, those
public lands have been rapidly sppro
priated TO increase the immense wealth OF
the Eastern uabob. Now they are a
chief feature in the speculation aud cor
ruptioa which control our Congi essional
legislation. Since the Radicals have nd
complete control of the government, With
fail power 10 pass OF defeat any measure
they wished to pass or defeat, Ghey are
certainly responsible for whatever OF cor
rupt or mischievous legislation they have
enacted. Theu let Us see how they stand
on the record with regard to this public
domain 4 document before u, com
piled from official records, presents some
startling figures touching the wasteful
prodigality which has characterized the
Radical guardianship of this great herit
age of the people. From 1861 to the
period in 1869, when the report of the
Land Office was made little over eight
years. the Radical party granted away
Que hundred and twenty millions of acres
of the public lands to four railroad com
panies between the Mississippi aud the
Pacific ocean Thee four companies
were the Union Pacific, the Central
Pacific, the Northern Pacific. aud the
Atlantic and Pacific. Besides this there
were granted to the Kansas Pacific in
the same period. and other smaller rail
roads. an aggregate Of not less than TWEEN
ty five millions Of acres more. So much
in the way of land.
