Thomas Donaldson contributes
an article to the August number of
the North American Review, in
which many facts of importance
are given. The public domain of
the United States acquired b.y
treaty from France, Spain, Mexico,
Texas and Russia amounts to
2,S94,33a.91 square miles. From
which it appears that the old Saxon
spirit of land acquisition has had
full play in this counUy, and at a
time, too, when there was a vast
domain within the original bounda
ries which was unoccupied. The
land thus acquired from foreign
sources amounts in round numbers
to 1,852,310,000 acres, and it cost
the government no less than 322,
000,000, of which sum it has re
ceived back 200.000,000 for land
sold, leaving a difference between
receipts and expenditures for un
sold lands of foreign acquisition
of 122,000,000. But besides the
large area of public land within
the original boundaries yet un
sold, there ih the whole of
The Immense TeriKorj
Of Alaska, which at present ap
pears to be held for the benefit of
a single fur company. "Down to
July, 1S80, the government of the
United States had disposed, by
sale, of about 170,000,000 acres:

Mineral ami Timber Land
Are now our most valuable assets.
The pasturage lands are of nomi
nal value apart from the mineral
underlying them. Our remaining
public lands, exclusive of Alaska
were, in June, 1880, estimated:
Timber lands, S5,000,000 acres;
coal lands defined, 5,530,000; pre
cious metal bearing lands, Gi,000,
000 uteres, but this area will be in
creased as the pasturage and tim
ber lands are explored; land in
southern states, agricultural timber
and mineral, 25,000,000; lands ir
rigable from streams, 30,000,000;
pasturage, desert, including certain
lands in Indian reservations and
barrens, 505,000,000. The above
is exclusively of Alaska." The
homestead act of 18G2 was the
most important of all the land
kws enacted. About 75,000,000
acres have been taken up since
that date by homestead settlers.
But the government has derived
no revenue from that source, the
fees only being about equal to the
surveys and other costs. But in
another way the country has been
greatly enriched by more than
half a million settlers, who have
taken up this land and have formed
prosperous communities. Prob
ably The Hojiiotend Art
Has been the means of addinjr
3,000,000 to the population of the
country. The writer holds that the
swamp land grants and the gradu
ation act of 1S54, were the most
indefensible of all the acts of con
gress touching the National do
main. The railroad grants began
'u i-o0 and ended in 1S7J. Un
der these grants about sixteen
thousand miles of railroad have
been constructed. The writer
thinks it would have been better
if a money subsidy had been given
in place of land. An acre of land
in the middle states means almost
a sustenance for one person. In
the Mississippi valley it means
fifty bushels of corn; but on the
plains it genera1' Ateans a crop of
sage brush t. ,xfa colony of prairie
The worst monopolists of
alio lands are held to be those
ijuals -who have taken pos
session of them fraudulently bv an
evasion of the law. The danger
of capitalists and speculators grab
bing public lands has been made a
bugbear by these individual mo
nopolists. Whenever capitalists
have desired public lands, they
have always got them. The needs
and requirements of capitalists in
.Uliiing, Timber ami Agricultural Lauds
Will fix the limit of their purchas
es. It is a lamentable fact, but
not to be denied, that hitherto all
restrictions upon bargain and sale
have resulted in failure. No mat
ter by whom they arc held, the
public lands will be used for the
purposes they are best adapted to,
and the people who occupy them
will ever be a law unto themselves
as to acquirement and disposition
of them. But taxation, exercised
by legislatures elected by manhood
suffrage, may be trusted to break
up great estates. It is maintained
that the land bounties for military
and naval services have, in nine
case out of ten, benefited persons
other than those intended by law;
and that the grants made for edu
cational purposes have, in many
instances, been frittered awa.
The advocates of a national svstem
of education, to be supported out
of revenues derived from sales of
land, are informed that the revenue
for the past two years has been
only seven cents an acre over and
above the expenses. These funds
having come from the sale of
agricultural lands, now that this
class of lands is well nigh ex
hausted, no net revenue from pub
lic land sales is expected at the
expiration of two years. Since
ISIS the public lands (mineral)
have yielded $1,420,041,53 in
gold and $400,422,200 in silver,
and the government has received
from mineral hnds S4SG,5S5, as
against expenditures of twice that
sum for the protection of the lands
or their occupants. Timber and
saline, mineral and coal lands, are
subject to special laws, under
which purchasers are not required
to be actual settlers. All other
lands can be entered under the
pre-emption, desert, timber cul
ture or homestead acts. In theory,
the unit of holdings or maximum
of allowance is 100 acres for each
settler; but such has been the
liberality of the nation; and such
is the diversity'of our land laws,
that
One Settler Can Take
From the public domain 1,120
acres, viz: Under the homestead
a-ct, 1G0 acres; under the pre
emption act, the same; under the
desert land act, G40 acres; under
the timber culture act, 1G0 acres.
The writer maintains that the min
eral land laws are not sufficiently
definite, and the timber culture
act, while conceived in a beneficent
spirit, has thus far served chiefly
as ;i means of obtaining lands in
excess of the legal settlement al-
lowance. Much the largest por
tion of the puhlie. domain is occu
pied by herders, woodcutters, lum
bermen and trespassers. The unit
of holding by entry should be
made 1G0 acres, in fact. It is now
1,120 acres. The act of congress
of June 22, 1S7G, throwing open
the public lands in Alabama, Mis
sissippi, Louisiana, Arkansas and
Florida to private entr', at SI 25
ppr acre in unlimited quantities,
thus reversing the policy of hold
ing the public lands for actual
settlers, should be at once re
pealed. These lands are about all
the agrieultur.il lands the nation
has left. It is estimated that in
area there are more than 25,000,
000 of acres. The homestead act
alone should apply to these lapds.
The enactment of
-&IV Colony Home-trad Law
Js urged, so that colonists can, if
they choose, live in villages and
be considered actual residents of
their lands. The pasturage or
grazing lands, usually destitute of
water, an enormous area lying in
Oregon, Washington, Nevada, Ida
ho, Montana, Wyoming, Utah,
New Mexico, Colorado, Arizona,
and Dakota, Indian territory, and
land strip; claim especial attention.
At present there is no law for
their sale or disposition. Vast
herds of sheep and cattle, and
bands of horses, worth millions of
dollars, roam over these barrens
fit only for grazing. Cattle in the
rough are produced and driven to
Kansas, Nebraska or Iowa, where
they are fattened upon the other
wise almost useless corn. Two-
thirds of these lands are desert
wastes, with here and there a
stream or spring. The water com
mands the land. The owner of
the water-holes, usually entered
under the homestead or pre-emption
acts, is supreme. A fraction
of these lands can be reclaimed by
irrigation from streams. At pres
ent, cattle ranges are held by con
sent, and herds are protected by
brands and marks. It is in testi
mony that the grasses upon these
lands are fast dying out, largely
because of over-pasturing and
neglect. In Utah it is said that in
places 1,000 acres of these lands
will not furnish more than sub
sistence for one ox, and the aver
age in the most favored localities
is from five to ten acres to a head
of cattle. In the judgment of ex
perts such pasturage lands are not
worth more than five to ten cents
an acre. The writer holds that the
timber culture act should be re
pealed. The timber should be
sold in alternate sections, the fee
to remain in the government.
Forest fires would in that way be
prevented. At present
Millions of Arre of Timber Laud
Are taken on mere declaratory
statements, stripped and then
abandoned. The average of the
coal lands is now fixed at $10 to
$20 and arc held to be exorbitant.
The bonanza mines, ten acres of
which yielded 8111,000,000, were
sold for five dollars on acre. For
the reclamation of swamp and over
flowed lands, GD.000,000 acres have
been given away. It is held that
the existing settlement laws are
mainly for a condition which is
past. Warning and prophetic
voices are heard: Hold these
lands for the generations to come.
Does this mean that they are to
come from Europe? The public
lands are now the heritage of Eu
rope and. the United States, with a
preference in favor of the former.
A European, male or female, head
of a family or single, above the
age of twenty-one years by the
mere act, immediately upon land
ing, of declaring his intention of
becoming a citizen, can at once
enter upon and hold public lands,
and those who are citizens, and
were born and have lived in the
United States 21 years, have no
prior right. May not the time be
near at hand when the question of
uncontrolled immigration will be
a vital issue of state-craft?
