We shall have hundreds of thousands of disbanded soldiers. and many have feared that their return home in such great numbers might paralyze industry by furnishing. suddenly. a greater supply of labor than there will be a demand for. I am going to try to attract them to the hidden wealth of our mountain ranges. where there is room enough for all. Immigration. which even the war has not stopped. will land upon our shores hundreds of thousands more per year from overcrowded Europe. I intend to point them to the gold and silver that wait for them in the West. Tell the miners for me that I shall promote their interests to the utmost of my ability. because their prosperity is the prosperity of the nation. and we shall prove. in a very few years. that we are indeed the treasury of the world.
