Great railroad lines have been built to transport the products of the homesteader to the seaboard. Mr. Chairman. more money has been brought into this country and injected into our circulation by immigrants from foreign shores under the operation of the homestead law than the Government price of the lands that were donated. The United States deives every year more revenue from the speedy settlement of the States I have mentioned than it would have received if it had sold the land at the original Government price. The homestead law is the best bargain that this or any other country ever made with its own or foreign citizens.
