I would not consider that question in looking at the matter of admission. but I do not believeand I know Dakota pretty wellthat that Territory is going to grow as rapidly as many gentlemen thifik. It has been pushed rapidly. Railroads have been made there. but they are only valuable when immigrants are brought there and when their products can be hauled over the railroads which have been constructed in advance of settlements. A very large proportion of the people there are Scandinavians. many of them not citizens of the United States in any proper sense. brought there by immigration companies. XVII74 brought there by railway companies. working to produce crops of wheat without being to any extent farmers. neither raising stock nor anything else. Great farms are there. where men are employed five or six months and away the rest of the year.
