YOLO COUNTY.
proposition to those best acquainted with the land interest, that the same state of affairs exists throughout the whole State.
We admit that there is plenty of land for sale, but at prices ranging far beyond the means of the ordinary immi- grant. We admit that there are vacant lands, rich in natu- ral wealth, that can still be had of the Government; but those lands are of the foothill and mountainous districts, and fit only for the vine and fruit culture. To the poor immigrant they possess no attraction, because he must be possessed of capital sufficient to enable him to live for three or four years before he can expect to receive any return from his investments, should he settle on and im- prove those lands. During the interval between planting the vineyard or orchard and its bearing season, he must trust to labor or the renting of lands. In either case, the prospect is none of the brightest for him during that inter- val. We have more laborers now than can find profitable employment; we have more renters than farms offered for rent. Then what inducement have we to offer the immi- grant, that shall cause him to pass by the Government lands of Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, or Illinois, the soil of which is equal to any in the world. Truly we have nothing-except a more genial climate. We would invite those editors who are continually calling for immigrants, to take a trip through the State and satisfy themselves regarding this matter. Can they for a moment believe the oft-repeated assertion, that there is "good land in plenty for all," after they have seen the thousands of farmers who annually rent farms, because they can find no vacant lands on which to settle that would insure them a living? Let them take note of the hundreds and thousands of farm laborers in this State, who can find employment only about six months of the year. Let them take further and final note of the vast land monopolies that have swallowed up all the available lands of the State, make a record of the prices at which those lands are held, and then we venture the assertion that they will coincide with us in the opinion that neither Yolo

County, nor yet the State, has any superior inducements to offer immigrants.
The curse of land monopoly has destroyed the hopes of the immigrants, who, if well informed, know that they cannot hope to obtain land here on terms that will com- pare with the inducements offered them elsewhere. The fact is well known, that the majority of the available lands are held by speculators, at prices far beyond the reach of a poor man.
It is argned that these speculators must sell, in time; that these tracts must be broken up; that they cannot hold them long, on account of interest, taxes and other causes. Let us see: The first cost of these lands was one dollar and twenty-five cents per acre in greenbacks-equivalent to about eighty cents, gold, when these lands were purchased. These lands are held at from ten to fifty dollars per acre, according to locality-and what is of more importance, they sell for these sums when sold at all. They are rented, or most of these tracts are, and yearly bring the owner a large interest on the prices asked. They are taxed-yes, they are taxed; but how much ? Land that sells from ten to fifty dollars per acre is taxed at three dollars to fifteen dollars per acre. Is it probable that wealthy men will part with property worth ten thousand dollars-bringing a large interest on that sum-and only paying taxes on two thou- sand five hundred dollars, unless compelled to ? Not until real estate is taxed to its full value, can we hope for a change beneficial to the cause of immigration, for our law- givers and land monopolists have raised a barrier to immi- gration more insurmountable than the Sierras-harder to overcome than the deserts which lie between us and the people whose presence we covet.
The emigrant who locates liere must depend on renting land, if he be not able to purchase a farm at the ruling prices. There is no inducement in this to the true emi- grant. His object in seeking new localities is a home- land that he can call his own. He could rent land without removing from his birthplace. Then, what have we in Yolo, or in California, to offer the emigrant to induce him to

pass the rich public lands of Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska, with soil as fertile as our own, and make his home among us ? A better climate-nothing more. Strip the question of immigration of the mass of verbiage thrown around it, and the sophistry of speculative individuals who would sell their ill-gotten lands at a high figure, and it amounts to this-only this-a better climate.
From the reasons given, and many others unmentioned, kindred to the subject, we are reluctantly compelled to admit that Yolo County can offer no good reasons why immigrants should seek her borders; and this remark applies to the State at large.
We find no fault with this state of affairs. We simply point out the absurdity of the ceaseless call for immi- grants, when the state of the land market forbids the immi- gration of families.
.
We are well aware that the prices asked for Yolo County lands can be readily obtained in most instances-that the valuation placed on those lands in this book is generally below what they will bring-but this does not help immi- gration; on the contrary, retards it. Hence, we must look only to the natural increase, and cease to expect a great influx of population from foreign sources. At least, such is the plain view of the case, and no amount of false rea- soning can convince intelligent immigrants to the contrary.
