He wants a certain amount. at any rate. of these rapid growths of timber. and on that account I hope this amendment will not prevail. I will state while on the floor just this one thing. which has not been noticed by some other Senators. that this is not a gratuity or any great advantage to the West more than it is to any other part of the country. We are inviting immigration. we are inviting settlers to our country. and we invite them from Delaware and from Vermont. and every other State. and they have the same advantages exactly that we of the West have or that our people have. and consequently this is a thing. if there is any gratuity about it. which belongs to the whole nation. and to no one State or one Territory alone. I hope this amendment will not prevail. and that the bill will pass as it has now been reported.
