Free Homesteads.

EDITOR NATIONAL REPUBLICAN: In the

Is a statement that Hon. Galusha A. Grow was the
my recollection this Is u mistake. He was an early
noble champion of the bill; but the free homestead
on public lands was urged. a measure, by
society club formed for that purpose In the city
of New York, as early as 1876, when the writer OF
this was In his teens and was a member of the
society-then In lsIl, he edited paper In western
New York to advocate the same measure. The
motto Of the society and my paper was "Anti-ino-
nOpoly, AntLand Monopoly, Anti. Bank Monopoly,
Ant. Law Monopoly aud AntSlavery," In which
we all insisted that tho wild or Government lands
should be sAcredy and exclusively reserved for
actual settlers and In quantity limited to 100 acres
TO a family or occupsnt-and that by no means
should any person be allowed to haze more than
that quantity, except that one section l6lO acrcs)
might be reserved In each township for school
could be obtained, In any way by one person, Anti
Railroad monopoly" was one plank-that IL land
should not be donated for that purpose; but that
Government might sell lands IN bodies OF forty
acres to settlers on the line aud build roads when
they were needed and asked for by actual settlers,
| Land Reform" and Homestead Law" as remem.
bered by me; aud finally in its present curtailed
shape, became law OF Congress In 1852. IL Is not
desired to rob Mr. Grow of Just credit but to, as far
possible, verify the history OF the matter BY an
early ADVOCATE.
| four recollection of this matter is that Henry
Clay Andrew johnson and other eminent states.
men OF generation anterior to the final passage oi
the present homestead law were conspicuous ad,
yocates Of the principles involved In IT. But
nevertheless at the date OF Its passage we believe
that Mr.. Galusha A. Grow championed II through
