Hence there will be no waste places or unproductive plains in this country in the near future. Our deserts are already responding to the touch of husbandry. are already furnishing food and fruits for millions of our people. are fast filling the laud with wealth and plenty. The deserts having been reclaimed and made available for homes for the people. immigration will rapidly move westward. new and great commonwealths will spring into existence in place of our sparselysettled Territories. cities which will rival New York and Philadelphia in magnificence will within the next century dot the plains and nestle in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. The center of population within the next quarter of a century will be at a point near the banks of the Mississippi River. and within fifty years from this time two hundred millions of people will find happy homes and remunerative employment and enioy the blessings of freedom in the States of the American Union. As the course of empire is rapidly moving westward let us prepare our Territories for the coming tide of population.
