But, to realize all the advantages of population and production, the -land should be owned by the cultiva- Men'^ho are noU'or sal tor, in tarms or plantations ot prop er size proportioned to the means and the capacity of the owners. In

England it is computed that the laud

Our agriculturists, whose products are summer vegetables and fruits, in this season of plenty, .seem to bo unsuccessful. Let it become the rule, and other prices will soon find the same level. Wages will become n»minally less, but really better: for less ^nominal wages will better supply a man's needs than the large prices of

the last few vear.s have done. The

in fee'

is something that very few can aspire to. And ownership "in fee" is by its very (expression described as something short of actual possession. It is holding by "fealty" or service, through various former holders it "'may be, but at last of the crown. Joseph's plan in Egypt of making Plia* raoh the owner of the whole land, is theoretically copied in the feudal system: though the sovereign's title

not on the substantial ground of purchase. The feudal lords, and the crown at their head, own by conquest. -If the theory be moderated and overruled by practice, still there is enough of feudal form and circumlocution left to embarrass the landless who "would become landholders, and to .keep the number of proprietors con•venienth* small for thcirown liereditaxy power, inconveniently small for the outsiders who would buy into iJic clisirmed circle. V-i-Che-title' to land in the United States,except in the -'manors," in New Yo?k, aud perhaps in some otb-l er like cases, is ''allodial.*' The owner holds by no '-fealty," but simply in 1ifs own. right of inheritance, or purchase. The words "fee simple," invented in England for consistency, pre simply, absurd, and never should have been introduced in this coun,«4ry. Whatever was the intention of .the fraraers .of the ConstiUitioa in the

clause regarding the punishment of

-corruption of blood or forfeiture except during the life of the person attainted,1. the practical aud tacit construction given is that the Govern.'hient caniiot dispossess another, by law, of. his title to real estate. And .this ruling is consistent The traitor, 'ina feudal country, is./^so facto dis-1, ••-. possessed by treason. He Las vioktcrt!

In some of the States there are restrictions placed upon the purchase of land by. aliens-r-a relic of feudal asuges-. "Practically these restrictions are nearly everywhere abolish^•r ed. .And where the .United. States holds land, in any State, the land warrants of the Government convey absolute possession.
