camp throughout the world. And to-day the big hearted and stalwart miner

country, but which our present laws forbid him to touch.

Our people should no more bow to a Mexican land grant title than to a
superstition of their cave-dwelling ancestors.

Man developed the school house, and for this each is indebted to the
other, and the mutual debt is acknowledged by making the school free to

Give us all the conveniences of modern life, railroads, telegraphs,
etc., etc., etc., but give us back the land, that is our natural
heritage as much as is the water we drink or the air we breath.

Give us back this birthright, or take your railroads, and so on, and
your civilization, and sink them deep in the depths of hell, for the
starving have no use for them, and we'll take the savage state that
knows no hunger except in the time of famine.
