MORE PEOPLE.
This is one of tlie pnneipal pl;inks in our \ platforin. We like Japanese anel other Asi- j aties; but we sliould rejoice in seeing some j simple hearted, hjir<l working Ēiiropeaiis ! eome liere also. Surely the rugged sons of | ilie Beandiriavian Peninsula eould find a' pleasant and profitable liome in these j ands. The honest Bwede, the virtuousNor- j wegian, or any of the simple peasantry of | the Morseland, who could eome direet from I their homes, wliat valuable and contented citiz.ens they would be. They work for small wages, are te.mperate in their liabits, and delight in peaee. They are children of the grand old Xorsemen, tlie vikings of thepast; but now that eivilization has broken upthe bold life of the fixtliers, the brave children are 'all for peaee and laboi\ Tlie men best fitted for warriorSj are always best fitted for peaee. We would liave noble workers in either Swedes or Norwegians. Tliey would be liappy in our evergreen hills, and woukl be content witli some of our rough lands. A certain iiumber eoukl be shipped here for less than one hundred dollarsahead. Meanwhile tliat we look after reciprocity, let us iiot cease to strive to get more people; aiid especially some good, honest lia/d working Scandinavian families.
