NEVADA.

to Raise Eeans to Come West.

Governor Kinkead has received the fol
lowing lie ter from the immigration Society
in Boston,
! BosToS, Mass, April Is, 1881.
To GOVERNOR J. n. kINKEAD-Dedr Sir
| AS the French Government is about to es
tablish q line Of steamers for the purpos', OF
90 onizing the western portion of British
America with substantial settlers, and in.
tend to advance passage money to these who
desire it, and is to finnish them with dwell
| ings, agricultural imp ements, 4 yoke OF
oxen, and sufficient provisions to natle
them to await the reapiDg of their first crop,
aud then take mortgage on their property,
, at per cent. interest, ON account of said
| Guilty., under the direction of Joseph F.
Perrault, of Ottawa, Ontario; ard as the
new Gar of Russia is about to extend gov
eminent ai1 t. the peasants of his country
by transporting them from the poor agri-
Gu tnral districts to the most ferti por
tons of his empire, is it not also the plain,
b"unden duty of the Z. ). Government to
assist the millions OF eniigrants who are
constantly p"uring into our Atlantic cite
from Europe and other parts of the globe,
by transporting them from our Atlantic
seaboard to your ferti e Il art of the country,
where there is plenty Of room, and where
they are greatly needed? 1t is estimated
that over 500, 900 emigrants WI arrive at
New York Cit, this year from the old coun
tries, and they are chiefly rom the aglicul
tural districts, whose sole occupation in the
old country was to dig potatoes and cab
bages, raise pig and mills COW or goat.
They are not needed IN our Eastern States,
and they are needed to develop the rich soil
Mississippi river, which nature Intended for
the hnsbandman.
Besides these vast hores of agricultural
emigrapts from Europe, who Won d be glad
to be transported from our steamship
wharves to your magn ticent western coun
try, by government aid Of some sort, there
are are also millions Of farmers, mechanics,
tradesmen, etc in our over crowded East
ern states who won hail with great ioy,
and be willing to mortgage their b oies
and all their present and future posses
sions, for government aid to transport them
Sc yes and families to your beautiful lan,
Of plenty.
It is quite Likely that. if the present ad |
minis ration should not furnish this aid in |
some manner, new political party will |
lake it in hand, and as it will be exceeding
y popular, TO h in the East aud in the |
West, it will be the strongest plank they
IAN get.
/ have writ en- to the Governors # every
State and Territory west of the Mississippi
liver, and to the Senate Committees on
Territories and Public Lands, and have
'eceived favorable rep les to said scheme
rom some of them, and I hope that C u
slant agitation of the subject may cause
ome action in tie matter. l have no OBJ
ection to the publication of this letter, for
t might help along matter which, con
would make glad the hearts of
Millions of both Western and Eastern peo
lie.
Yours, truly.
ALBERT \. jones.
