When through mighty lens we search the

capital employed. Ii is quite reason
able to assume that when any locality
had been thus populated, and settled
and prosperous and growing com
munity established, all property would
have an increased and a stable and
permanent value, and that the mort
cages on these farms could be sold, or
could be combined as security for
long time loans something less in
amount than the aggregate of the
mortgages, and thus additional money
be secured for continuing the work.
Properly conducted, an enterprise
Of this sort on scale of sufficient
magnitude would be the noblest
benefaction Of the age, and at the
same time one of the most remunera-
tive and profitable channels for the
employment of capital. The philan-
thropist and the charitably disposed
could find no object more worthy of
their benevolence persons with rooney
to invest could find no better or more
promising avenue for its use, and all
who have Southern interests could
enter into it with not only a reasonable
assurance Of large profits, but with
the certainty that they would receive
large indirect benefits through the
general enhancement of values and
expansion of business consequent upon
increased population. For move
ment of this kind, aside from those
who might be directly brought to the
South under its auspices, would give a
new impetus to and enormously
accelerate the present flow of immigra-
ton to the South.
Besides subscriptions Of money from
capitalists and investors, from humani
tarians, from the charitably inclined
and others, owners of large areas of
land in the South might subsc ribe
lands to the stock of such company,
manufacturers of lumber and building
materials might make subscriptions
to the stock payable in their wares,
makers of agricultural implements
might pay for stock in farm machinery,
nurserymen and seedsmen in such
supplies as they could furnish, and
dealers generally in the goods they
sell. Railroads in the South pre-
sumably would accept stock in such a
company in payment for hauling these
supplies, and for carrying not only the
immigrants, but such movables" as
might be brought from their homes.
We believe the plan is feasible
one, and believe that it could be made
the most important, far reaching,
beneficent and money making move
ment of .eC,nt times.
