The bonanza nabobs. in their anxiety to get the "blarsted" Englishmen to sink their money in their mines and mining stock out West. have this session secured legislation in order that Englishmen may get into their big bonanza stock offices. They are perfectly willing that the Englishmen shall have a sinkhole in America in which to deposit their English guineas. but when poor fellows want a piece of land to cultivate you must refuse them and put a black mark on their foreheads! This country has grown in twentyfive years as no country under the sun has grown. And it is not the tariff that has caused this. It is the throwing open of our great free public lands and the great immigration which has been the agent that has built up this country. and not your tariff taxes.
