LINCOLN. Nebraska. 1871.

LINCOLN. Nebraska, 1873.
The West draws new settlers into
its capacieus bosom by its fertility,
its free homesteads, aud its infinite
demand for laber, whether skilled OF
unskilied. It also drives them Ia
take shelter under it's wings by com
petition, sf1..i
New England once raised her own
hread-stuffs. but she has long ceased
80 to do. The produce of richer and
cheaper lands competed with her farm
ers, till il proved more than match
for their skill aud energy. Many OF
them then turned to manufacturers,
bu! a still larger number were hence
driven west. They made their own
sum of the cheap acres there, and en-
listed in the ranks Of the agricultural
army which had vanquished them.
| Thus the West is constantly acting
on the East with an increasing weight
and that Of a larger and logger level.
Here is one secret Of its RAPID growth.
II is forty years since the hrst white
families entered Iowa. But no more
than one-third OF its present popula
ton were born within&s limits; two
thirds have come in. ,f..f r.. .fs.
OftweIve hundred thousand to.day
about one-half we're born in some
moro eastern State. Foreign centres
being further than the Atlantic slope,
frem the West have hitherto felt its
influence less-but even they were
long since driven as we'll as drawn "a
send their sons thither. The Influence
exerted upon them has been Of The
same nature with that which has
brought Westward 50 many from eur
own East. Hence one,sixth of the
population Of Iowa has come into Il
from beyond the Atlantic.
Not one sixth Of the population sl

More than twenty 6vc thousand home
steaders and pre-emdtsrs have filed
claims in the land.otfice at Lincoln, o
capital not yet six years old and
within the last three years, about
three thousand settlers have bought
farms on the land grant to the Burl
ingten and Missouri River Railroad

1872, no installment Of the principal
