Remark:
Sir John: "Yes, yes, I see. I think you have everything there, my dear Galt. It's a grand work you're engaged in, and you are just the man to do it. You taught our American cousins of our fish. Now, go and teach our English brothers about our unlimited supply of grain for their breadstuffs, cattle for their markets, dairy products and agricultural implements, and homesteads for their emigrants in the richest country on earth."
