oar future is the promise that we shall not
be only the leading agricultural but the
greatest manufacturing nation. III Is not
alone pressure for employment because oil
the density Of the population that vii lead
us in that direction, but it is because We
are invited thither by such wealth OF nat
ural mineral resources rs the world never
before saw in the possession of one people.
Our coal and iron, those two principal sSen-
tials of a manufacturing people, are practl'
cllly inexhaustible and not only lie near
the surface, but in very many Localities lie
close together. Such favorable conditions
exist nowhere else. The thinking men Of
the world recognize the situation, and Mr..
Gladstone has been frank enough to tell
Englishmen that the centre OF the worlds
commerce, manufactures and economic
prosperity in general Is drifting across the
Atlantic. England, who has 20 60 two
thousand feet or more underground for her
coal and iron, in spite of cheap LABOR, can
not excel us much longer. IL is only II

in industries and IN the development of
natural resources with gratifying speed
The old era closed some years ago; the new

tnd many of them. We see the great graz.
ing districts of the central territories being
peoplsd with ilocks and herds, and wealth
coming TO their owners. We see Nevada
developing her agricultural interests with
much vigor and enterprise, and lands once
thought to DO desert are clothed in bloom
ard verdure. We see Arizona yielding her
stores of mineral wealth. and here and there
new farming districts sending forth very
profitable products. We see California ad-
vancing in every way, making in Il year a
growth which decade in oden times did
not show, because now development is pro,
ceeding under different auspices and for
different ends, We see the grand districts
OF the northwest, Oregon and Washington
pushing forward with speed and vigOr sur.
passing anything in their history, impelled
by u constant tide OF home. seekers, who
will develop the wonderful wealth which
lies in the forests, the mines, and the soils
Of the new northlands. There il much in.
