State action is becoming, perhaps, too much the fashion free individual action is generally far better but in this matter, which is one of "national insurance," State action is necessary, and reasons of a conclusive character are given such as the long period required before the crop can be matured and any return obtained, and the uncertainty as to the future conditions and factors on which its ultimate profitableness will depend showing why the matter should be taken in hand by the State.
Oh, for the brother who will bring us, not a sermon only, but a man a man discovered, saved, cleansed, polished by God; improved into value and profitableness, but still a man!

It will be seen that the larger and better product of labor is a great factor in the profitableness of such enterprises, and that it arises from the improved character of the laborer, on the same principle that a farmer's stock pays him best when it is of good breed, is warmly housed, and well fed.
And again, it is they who give that are denominated Liberal, while they who forbear to receive are commended, not on the score of Liberality but of just dealing, while for receiving men are not, in fact, praised at all.
