He thus dissected the American instinct
for land:
LOVE OF LAND.
"You cannot eradicate from the American
the love of lana. Ng the laws OF hcredlty
tieIe is nm instinct ror the dignity of possess
lEg the soil. This fact Is attestcd, whether
by the holders OF the poorest soeter Ia Nor
way or The mlnutest tracklst in Picardy or
Prhssta, the biggest bonanza farms OF North
Dakota, the lorlly acres OF Scotland and
Hungary, or the cattle ranches of Wyoming,
Texas and Colorado, 1t is exaggerated IN
the American. He combines In himself the

PHYSICAL AND AGRICULTURAL PROGRESS.
physical progress AMI the application OF
steam and other motors upon sta and land
have made transportation and immigration
easier. Immigrants arrive ST C9.tle Garden
at tie rate OF eighteen knots IN hour. Tie
food supply Of the world has not only been
greatly increased in the ratio OF population,
but better distributed; ana no other country
shows so well in this regard as our own. Tue
4nnual income from agriculture in III"
thtted States vas estimated by the present
superintendent OF census, in 1850, a $4,000,
600, eco. In this revenue we still lead every
nation Of the world. IN forest wealth, Ia thu
precious metals, IN ron aal steel, in mahg-
features Of all kinds, the present decade has
been the great progressive epoch Of our hts,
tory.
DIT is impossible on al occasion like This to

American product. 1t will also furnish is
