1,000, so as to give equal portions to the 1,500? The thing is utterly impracticable, and the discontent with such a system of "perpetual sub-division" of the land as the population increased would, be infinitely worse than under the present system. Perhaps Mr. George will tell us how lie will carry out his theory.
