Now, in New York, Brooklyn and their sub urbs are 2, 800, 900 inhabitants already We do not mind more people. Pop ulation is burden. ''Still they come" What shall we do about it? In 1790, we had but six cities, having a population of 5000 Now in 1880, we have 226 of these hot beds Of hunger and sickness, with popula- of F, 100000 souls, fully twenty five per cent of the inhabitants of these United Siatesl While only

 Of our people are engaged in tilling our fertile acres; this is disasteroust What is the remedy? Colonization Says a speaker in England, "When 1 ask you to colonize, what is it, but to carry the superduity of our part of the country to the deficiency of the other? To cultivate the desert by means that are idle here.

 ADAM SMITH,
 In his Wealth of Nations:' "Tke colony of civilized nation, which takes possession, either of a waste country, or of one so thinly inhab ited that the natives give place to the new settlers, advances more rapidly to wealth and greatness than any other human society" The exodus of people from Europe to this coun- try is not likely to diminish for sew eral years.

And | just note her public revenue, S60,- poo 000 yearly, about ST 2 head for every soul in the land Besides this says a late report: During last year ,, 9,600OOO persons deposited in the savings bank, $153, ,85O,OO0." Itis with just such little tricks as this, that the farmers and- mechanics of France built up such q substructure of monetary strength; as enabled the Nation to pay it's immense forfeit to Germany, and a lesson is taught of no less importance to commOnwealihs -han to individuals. Six million small proprietor farmers, make their national welfare certain. Now, to return 10 Arizona.
