When the treaty approving this was up for ratification in the senate, Daniel Webster, senator from Massachusetts.arose and spoke as follows: “This land is composed of vast deserts; the native Indians are hostile and resent the presence of settlers; the long coast line has few adequate harbors; this purchase will always be a drain on the federal treasury. —Yet in a few short years, the golden harvest of the gravel beds by which we are’ surrounded became a great factor in maintaining the credit of the government during the Civil war, and today we find this: state third in population in the nation and the greatest in increasing population. In income taxes and all other forms of taxes we are fourth or fifth. This did not happen by itself. Hard work, ‘sacrifices, thrift and wise administrators are responsible.
