It should be remembered that

miles and 174,585,840 acres. It has
more coal than Pennsylvania, more
iron than Alabama, more granite than
New Hampshire, more oak than West
Virginia, more prairie than Kansas,
more corn land than Illinois, more
cotton land than Mississippi, more
wheat land than the two Dakotas,
more sugar land than Louisiana, and
more rice land than South Carolina.
It contains as many rivers as any
other five States, and as much coast
as any other three. As was appro-
priately said by Mayor Tone, of Den-
ison, the iron mines of Michigan, the
granite quarries of Maine, the wheat
fields of the Dakotas, the corn fields
