On our treasury are correspondingly in
creasing. For the next ten wears this
will nrobably continue more rapidly
than heretofore, owing to the fact that

creasing lin proportjon rs that country
Ais mn and its lands enhance in value.

creasing our sources of revenue have
been diminishing. In 1883 the value.
