 We arr quite unable to look at the
 matters in ihat light. Suppose for
 in tance, leaving the matter of capi~
 tal out of the question for the time
 being, that we could suddenly res
 iuce our population 10 just one half
 If hat i, Is; what would be the re-
 >uli? The products of oul valley
 would be scarce Not being able to
 get SUI plies here trade would look
 elsewhere. The price of oursproduts
 would not ther, fore increase iu value
 n proportion as they would d min> i>h in quantity We would simply lose N hat outside t;ade we airt ady
 have Again, there being but little pio1uce in our vall'y there would
 be less inGucement for railroads to
 C, me 10 us and the time te their ap-
 pea' ance among us wou q simply be
 prolonged. c pi!al would keep away from us for there would be no in, ucement for it taking ,ances ot long waiting while the world is full of present opportunity
 Now suppose that capital to the amount of many millions V as iurn-
 d loose iD ihis reduced pcpu!a.io other C. nditions remaining the same as betnre The result would be that three or four persons would absoI b he bulk of il while the chances of sccumul. tion for the great maj rily i,y would be 10 better than before.
 There is, in fact, but one true course, natural course, fol. the press en, population of IbIs vaiiey tol ur- sue if ,hey would prosper as whole; 1 if they would make business and | money plenty, living cheap and The majority of homes prosperous and happy. and that is tU srrain every point 10 fill our valley full Of people 10 tie exieLt that every available acre winch yields so abundantly at ihe it uch of busbandry should be fu'ly occuried and leaning with plcdrcts till iLe narrow bonds that new coIfine our commerce, our trade of all kInds, our poEulati n' slall he rent assunder, the barriers broken down aLd railroads pcnr in upon IS because we have population md resources; manufactures spring ID among Us, because here they have abundance of raw material 10 N ork Ipen, and the tide Of commerce .N eep regularly to us and from H. he wealth of manufactured and raw which we shall need, W hich he world shall need
 Beautiful houses, refined society nd the pleasures w hlch com frou lealthy and prosperous business will eign supreme among us.
 This is not an Ima.inaiive picture f what we would like to see. It is imply a forecast of what is as sure o come 10 this valley HIS the earth is .urc to roll round within the next weniI -four hours. but If those of IS now here would enjoy It we must put cur energies to work to obtain
 or some day not far dista nt we | f III Ut OlOhOGO QOh II duQ Oul Dl hose N ho will live after us on the { e>uts of our toils-the results of he m stake we are making when we ;Cn clude to keep cut everything we an from coming to o0f relief. The ;ir uds only hurst forth in rain when lLe moisture within them hss accu- nulafed 10 such an extent that it Dc cnmts too heavy 10 longer be sus- aired on the aIr. So with cur valley. we must accumulate pOru> alton ard possibility of produ"is till ihe present bonds can no longer .onhne us, till we burst out per force of internal accumulation, and then railroads, commerce ard man> will spring up among us IS the blade tf com in the showers, of May.
