Progress Backwards

A NEW paper, American Progress, published in Chicago, says: "We are following in the footsteps of decayed Babylon and Persia, for the ownership of land is being constantly confined to fewer numbers. The greater part of the far West, especially, is owned by foreigners, who have never seen this continent. They have bought, for purely nominal sums, the land which the government might have saved for the benefit of its people, and they will sell only at startling prices." This is progress backwards.
