times, and financial panics, he stead
lily pushed the work of connecting
this spot with the grainfelds of the
West. He built there the best equip
ped dock and ship yard in America.
When the older masters of ship yards
snubbed him as an amateur and in
terloper he dropped the price for war
ships below the cost Of building and
brought them to terms.
The inhabitants now number over
$4,000. There are 5000 men in the
yards. The value of the exports of the
place for the year 1897, was $25 1000, 900.
Seven hundred car loads of freight are
handled every day of the year Six
hundred vessels loaded at the port dur
ing the year 1897. In the amount of
its shipping, and the value of its ex-
ports, it nearly reaches Baltimore's
shipping and exports.
In all of this development, nothing
has been forced. 1t is the creation of
the geographical situation, backed by
almost prodigal harbor facilities.
Only an arrows fight from the main
pier, is the spot where the ironclad
Merrimac struck and sunk the Con-
gress and Cumberland. Captain John
Smith camped on the spot on his way
to jamestown, in 1910 Washington
passed it, as he went out in his boat
to meet the French Count de Grasse,
and arrange for the capture of York
town. Eight miles away is the largest
acres, Fortress Munroe. Between
them are the most extensive oyster
beds of the Chesapeake bay. Five
miles away is the largest institution
in America for the education of ne
groes, established by one Hawaiian
born. Fifty miles above this spot, on
the broad James river, superb estates
lie desolate yet, and the value of ex-
hausted land is perhaps less than il
was nearly 300 years ago.
Slavery crippled, with it's bad econo

C. P. HUNTINGTON'S WORK.

About eighteen years ago, c.. P.
Huntington fixed his eye upon a spot
called Newport News, at the mouth
of the James River, and Hampton
Roads, in the State of Virginia. But
one house stood on the ground. Before
it lay the finest and largest harbor
on the Atlantic coast of the United
States. The water at the edge of the
banks was over thirty feet deep for
miles.
Those who have studied the econo-
mic development of the American
States, believe that if the unecOnomic
system of slavery had not existed in
the South, the empire city Of America
would have appeared at Newport
News, and not on Manhattan Island,
because it is nearer to the vast basin
of the Mississippi than New York, and
it's harbor bar is deeper than that of
New York, and it is equi-distant
from Maine and the Gulf ports.
, Mr.. Huntington made this spot the
terminus of the Chesapeake and Ohio
railway. In spite of most depressing

IEASEH0LD LANDS.

Mr.. Allen Herbert stated in
an interview published in this
paper, several weeks ago, that
it was now difficult to secure
small farms, in desirable lOca-
tions, on these Islands, owing
to the ownership of long leases,
which covered valuable tracts,
and the ownership in fee of
large tracts, by a few people.
This sort Of ownership of
land and leases, has confronted
all of the AnglO-SaxOn colon
lists for 200 years. They have
met the difficulty in every case,
by taxation, or by radical laws.
Many of the Atlantic States,
Canada, California and Austria
liza, were "infested" by these
unfortunate holdings, which
were good and fair enough, in
the days of sparsely settled
communities, but became a
blasting wind over agricultural
thrift in thickly settled COM
munities. In New York State,
for some years, the political
parties were divided on the
rent question. Those who rent
ed from the old Dutch prOprie-
tors rose even in insurrectiOn
against payment of rent. They
were known as the Barn burn
ers, and elected a governor.
The State finally converted
these leaseholds into fee sim
pies. 9 q
The progressive people of
New Zealand dispose Of the
subject in simple way. The
owner of unimproved land is
required to put his own valua-
ton upon it, for purposes of
taxation. The State then has
the power to take it from him,
by adding 10 per cent. to the
amount of his valuation. 1t is
a cunning and perhaps reason
able way of preventing the
owner from undertaking. his
land. At the same time it is a
radical measure.
The Anglo-Saxon race be
lieves in the "sOil." 1t is very
apparent that all intelligent
communities of this race will
hold these political and ecomo-
mic maXims; thatif a man wish
es to till the soil, he shall not
fail to do so, for want of land;
that the absorption of land for
speculative purposes is almost
in the nature of a social crime;
that there shall be no artificial
restrictions against the free
movement of population from
the cities to the rural districts;
that men, women and children
shall have some breathing
spot on earth if they desire it.
This is the gospel of American
Democracy, and it has forced
the free gift to the people of
land enough to feed 100000,
900 of people. AS population
presses in the future, there will
be a new division.
