Wlt does lie offer them? He offers them to go down. mark yon this is not a land scheme at all. says lie. to buy the land. he will finance it. says lie. and lie wants $10 an acre for this undeveloped land and lie holds this "purchase" for 14 years at $10nil acre. In other words. he wants the immigrant to go there. stay on his land for 14 years. pay $140 a acre for absolutely untilled. undeveloped land which the poor immigrant ]himsell has to develop. and by the time he has developed the and at the end of 14 years he will be so much in hock. as every farmer in this country knows. that what he will have to do is to pick up. go to some place near by. leaving the fruit of 14 years of labor of hdmself and his family to this generous Mr. Satterfield and his corporation. Why. this offer is so attractive that lie is unable to ind anyone .in this country who will accept his generosity.
