From other quarters the testimony is smilar-as from
Russia: " No opening here for any unsked foreign
labor;' from Turkey . The only nice opening is
among the Moslems south Of the Danube where land
may be bought at f5 acre" from Athens: q For
egn laborers would starve the pitance which con
tents natives; and from Peru: Not five per cent o.
all the foreigners who here remain of their own
Accord
But what is the report concerning the United
States? 1t runs in the following style: ''The Ameri-
can labor market undoubtedly presents abundant open
ings In the United Staes-owing to their vast IN
cultivated tracts of fertile land. and their immense
mineral weath-:he demand for labor of all kinds
must be very great The fl Id for female domestic la
Dor is unbounded. Every fifth man in San Francisco
has, average, 81 900 in the savings bank
large number of the artisans there own the houses
they inhabt The taxes these proprietols are ex-
ceedngly small. The ahoriag classes in the United
States, as rule. are exceedingly well lodged, more
particularly in the rural districts" The conclusion is
married and single men, oe they of sober and ndustr
Gus habits will find ample opportunities for improving
their condition in the United States and the peculiar
educational advantages csnnot be overlooked. To no
quarter Of the globe turn with so reason =

From the Farmers Union.
THE WHEAT CRoP.-During a residence
in Minnesota of twenty-thrce years we have
never known, at this season of the year, the
wheat crop so promising as it is at this
time. Good old mother earth is loaded
with the good things of the world in this
State. Should the balance of the season
prove as favorable, we shall undoubtedly
have much the largest crop of wheat ever
raised i'll the State. OF course there are
contingencies to be met, such as hail storms,
rust and a wet harvest. Ofthe latter there
is not much danger, if we judge the future
by the past, because we usually have line
weather during the harvest season.

HOW WISCONSIN FEELS.

No little interest is taken by the press of
the State at large, in the progress of our
struggle for the recovery of lost maritime
rights, and the maintenance of the inte III
iy of the harbor system at the head of
Lake Superior. The Madison Democrat of
the llth, in addition to devoting the first
two and a half columns on its front page to
the letter of Messrs Setter and Orton, to
Gov. Washburn, which appeared in our
paper two weeks since, also gives an ear
nest editorial on the subject from which we
quote the following:
C AS soon rs it became apparent that the
interests Of Wisconsin had been sacrificed
and the slight protection she had hoped to
secure, had been converted into the most
effective instrument for her injury, another
suit was brought to abate the dyke IS an
obstruction to navigation-the very same
dixie that the United States authorities had
stipulated for and the city Of Duluth had
given bonds TO construct. Last week the
suit was brought in the i. S. Circuit Court
for the district of Minnesota, Hon. Harlow
S Orton Of this city appearing for the State
of Wisconsin. The court held that it had
no jurisdiction of cases where states are
parties. and the case was therefore dismis-
sed to be brought before the Supreme Court
of the United States.
As it was in Judge Miller's court that
the agreement was made by which this dixie
is being built it is but natural that he should
wish to dispose of this new case by deny
inc jurisdiction, especially as the question
involved is one upon which able .jurists dit
fer and has never been passed upon by the
Supreme court. The counsel for the State
has been fortunate in securing 4 decision of
the question without delay and he will at
once bring an action for the same purpose
in the highest court. We have thus given
a brief statement of the case rs it is known
to the public, if its secret history could be
revealed, it might and we believe would,
show that the interests of Wisconsin had
been sold out to a powerful ring whose m
tluence is felt not only in the executive de-
partments and the halls of congress but
throughout the whole country"
From this it is very plain how Wisconsin,
feels, as the words of the Democrat in the
last sentence but reecho the expressed SEN
timents of the leading papers of the State.
1t is gratifying to our citizens to know that
The State itself is approaching the vast in
jury now being done, or attempted to be
accomplished at least, to the future inter
ests of our noble commonwealth on this
/ lake. 1t is a matter as the above extract,
in its beginning and ending, intimates, that
deeply concerns "the interests of Wiscon-
sin" 1t IS q question as to whether cor
rupt parties shall enable Minnesota to
Jockey and defraud Wisconsin ort of her
goodly heritage in the natural harbor sys-
TEN at the head Of Lake Superior.

AMERICA THE OPEN Door.

The following little piece, on emigration,
which we clip from Crotutt'S Western
World, is one that possesses much interest
IN that it puts into plain English with fact
and figures, the general persuasion, and
floating belief Of all clas- of our country
men that America is the only nation on the
globe that really is open to immigration.
Rome in ancient times, and England in
modern days, swayed the empire of Die
world by carrying their institutions tc
other nations. America is about to rule tie
globe by process the reverse ofthe above,
bringing other nations here bodily, to enio,
the institutions Of freedom on American
soil. The one was process of war, of de
pletion in men and money, of centuries IN
time; the other is 4 process Of peace an'
prosperity, and that wrought out in com
paratiyeIy few years But says the
World:
The question is repeatedly asked "What is the con-
dtion of the industrial classes in foreign countries:
This is bv far the important question winch a
English an Irish or German workinGman, can ass
himself report on this subject filling five hundred
and seyentysix pages and derived from the researches
of twenty six diplomatic agents presented to the
British Parliament in 1870. Most consuis discourage
their eountr, men from emgratug the countries TO
which they are accredited one writes from Holland;
1t is this country that tue British artisans ca
look with nope" Another says of Belgium, The z
is demand for foreign emigration The foreign ar
tSau would the wages OF an ordinary work
ngman." third says that farmers may do some
thing in the wild lands of Portugal if they can learn
the laugu e and love the habits and customs OF the
natives" \ It still another, writing from the more
hourising country in the southern portion OF the New
World Brazil declares that mo country offers 50 few
advantages for foreign nduStralsn From Sweden the
consular voice saws: ''The introduction of labor from
Great Britain could not be Attended with beneficial
results Another witness says: There Is small
chance in either Prussia Saxonv, Southern Ger

From the Minneapolis n. ws of July IT,

From the Minneapolis N ws ofJuy II.
JUDGE B. b. Meeller returned this morn
ing from a trip to Duluth, the Dales of the
st. Louis river, and other points. He re-
ports that he has conversed with men IA
mliar with the country, and they all pro
nounce the scheme OF canal from the
Mississippi river, at the crossing of the
Northern Pacific railroad, to Mile Lac, and
thence entering the ST Louis river below
the rapids, perfectly feasible. The entire
distance is only about 80 miles, from which
is to be deducted 25 miles of deep water
navigation through Mile Lac, which is dl-
rectly on the line which the canal should
take.
