Immigrant promotion and policy debate in Missouri era
A long, fragmented speech describes Missouri immigration efforts by General Agent Martin W.

It contrasts northern distress with Missouri growth, praising railroads, population gain, and welcoming foreign settlers from Ireland Germany and beyond while criticizing radical Reconstruction policies and postwar politics.
