PURCHASE OF AN
EMPIRE.

Al a time when prices are soarire
out Of reach, 1t Is very fitting to re
call the 1l7th anniversary Of the day
the United States bought the yns,
empire from France for only SIS 900
600. This purchase, comprised what
II now the states of Louisiana. Mis-.
souri,. Arkansas. Iowa, Minnesota. n.
Dakota, Nebraska. Oklahoma and
most OF Kansas. Colorado. Wyoming
and Montana.
The greatest bargain In land val.
ues known TO history was called the
Louisiana purchase and was negotiat.
cd IN the administration OF President
leon.
The purchase more than doubled
the area Of the United States. hut
nevertheless. there were many Amer.
leans who denounced President Jef.
ierson for purchasing what was then
vast wilderness. IL was claimed
thai Napoieon had proved himself too
shrewu Tor The government at Wash.
ihg.on. and all kinds OF insinuations
were made. In fact. there was In.
s.ituted among the New England
states a definite movement OF seces.
~"' NtpASst aSaiust tue pufcnnSe,
Jefferson himself was not without
misgivings, for $l5.0O0,00 was
large amount OF money for the gov.
ernmeht TO pay In those days and but
little was known of the possibility of
the lands obtained. The population
OF the entire area was about sac. 900.
and much Of the land was virtually
unexploied. Spain had acquired title |
by right OF exploration and had later |
been compelled TO cede the lands TO |
Napoleon. who planned the great co. |
loniai empire. Lack of ready money |
Obliged him TO sell In order 10 carry +
cn his war against England and her /
allies.
In the opinion OF SOME historians.
Ihe Louisiana purchase Is most mo.
nentous event In American history,
But. at all events. there can be no i
ioubt OF Its being the most profitabie
investment ever made by any nation,
- the taxable wealth IN the TERRITORY A
included in the purchase row Is more
nan 600 times greater than the price
paid.
