I appeal. Mr. Speaker. to the gentlemen on the other side of the House. to whom the word "monopoly I has been "a sweet morsel to roll under their tongues." how is it that they stand here asking for a suspension of the rules. without discussion. to allow a proposition to repeal the townsite act of 1864. with reference to the sale of all the town sites of this great area of country and upon all these public lands. making an industry. if you will permit it. in the location of cities and towns that will be stimulated by an immigration into this Territory that has never been equaled in the United States? Towns to the number of hundreds will be needed in that Territory when opened. its fertile soil guaranties a large population. and thriving towns are always hand in hand with such general prosperity. And I should be glad to know who originated the idea in this section. to place in the hands of "legally organized" corporations alone all the town sites to be located for the necessities of such a population as will be supported by this great Territory?
