I agree with the Senator from Nevada. he has stated the point very eloquently. and with greater knowledge than I can pretend to have. because he has an experience of his own. That is the very reason why I supposed he went West. and he has improved the opportunities. He left the State of New York. which I believe had the honor of being his native State. and went west of the Rocky Mountains for his benefit and for the great good of the country to which he emigrated. I have no doubt. but he went there because of the opportunities that the virgin soil of the unoccupied territory of that great region presented to the enterprising youth of the date of his emigration. and that is just what brings the emigrant across 3.000 miles of ocean instead of crossing 3.000 miles of mountain. prairie. and upland. It is the same motive. it is the desire for the improvement of the condition of the individual in each case. and in each case the same motive operates.
