To organize — Now gentlemen, to commence or¬
ganization, speak to a few of your friends; discuss
the matter between you, and when each of you
has succeeded in enlisting the cooperation of half
a dozen or more, call a meeting of such; elect your
offices, and choose them — not on account of per¬
sonal friendship — but on accont of their competency
to discharge the duties creditably. Let each take
at least one share (the shares are at $5) which your
treasurer will place in bank, to the credit of your
branch.
As this scheme is to benefit the labor element
— which element, whether for weal or woe, is
largely composed of our countrymen, the Knights
of Labor, who are now well organized in all the
states must join you, for the unemployed must get
something to do, and where, except in this scheme,
we cannot well conceive. We have not named any
of our neighbors in New York City and Brook¬
lyn, because we intend to personally canvass them.
We hope all our Gaelic societies will take the mat¬
ter up with a will. Mr. M'Cosker and others have
already referred to it, and we hope by next issue
that those gentlemen whom we took the liberty of
naming will advise us of the prospects in their
several locations.
The great barriers heretofore in the way of col¬
onization were the want of transporting facilities to
those parts of the country suitable for agricultural
purposes and where the land could be had at a nom¬
inal price. The barrier now is the want of an or¬
ganised movement to send colonists in groups where¬
by the objections to settling in sparsely settled lo¬
cations could be met. Where land can now be
bought cheaply along the Railway lines every al¬
ternate section belongs to the Government and to
the railway companies. These sections contain one
square mile or 640 acres. The government land
can be settled under The Homestead Act at a mere
nominal figure, and the railway land can be bought
at a few dollars an acre, so that nothing is wanted
but proper organization to place our surplus labor
on these lands.
