Why should they have at once asserted themselves on the retirement of those administrations ? Why did not the war prevent them? Why did not burdensome taxation suppress them ? Why did not the nation become poor and povertystricken instead of outstripping all other countries in the accumulation of wealth and in the surpassing improvement of its habitation ? If we did not realize what was going on in these respects the people of other countrie did. This is evidenced by the fact that immigration into the United States. exclusive of that from China. from 1860 to 1880 amounted to 5.095.078. Why was this? Was it because we were not prosperous?
