No State in the Valley of the Mississippi offers so great an inducement to the settler as the State of Illinois, There is no portion of the world where all the conditions of climate and Boil so admirably combine to produce those two great staples, CORN and WHEAT, as the Prairies of Illinois.

EASTERN AND SOUTHERN MARKETS. These lands are contiguous to a railroad 700 miles in length, which connects with other roads and navigable lakes and rivers, thus affording an unbroken communication with the Eastern and Southern markets.

RAILROAD SYSTEM OF ILLINOIS. Over $100,000,000 of private capital have been expended on the rallroad system of Illinois. Inasmuch as part of the income from several of these works, with a valuable public fund in lands, go to diminish the State expenses; the TAXES ARE LIGHT, and must consequently every day decrease.

The State debt is only $10,106,398 14, and within the last hree years has been reduced $2,959,746 80, and we may reaBonably expect that in ten years it will become extinct.

The State is rapidly filing up with population; 868,025 persons having been added since 1850, making the present population 1,723,663, a ratio of 102 per cent. in ten years. AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS.
