Attention is invited to the impor.
tance of exhibiting at the coming State

first week of September, a large and
complete display Of specimens Of grain,
and other farm products from EVERY
COUNTY.
This Fair is to have the LARGEST
DISPLAY, and TIE LARGEST AT
TENDANCE OF VISITORS ever
known in this State, and no County
can afford to neglect the opportunity
to show her best products. Ample
space is to be provided in every Depart
ment, and especial arrangements are
being made to accommodate a large dis
play of grain In the sleaf and In thresi,-
ed samples.
1t is proposed to arrange all exhibits
50 as to give proper credit to each ex-
hiOitOr and to his place of residence;
and to this end, every sample should
besc a card giving the necessary infor-
nation.
A competent agent will be designat-
ed to take charge of all samples mot
otherwise consigned) that may be sent
in from the line of our roads, and. to
prepare and arrange them for exhibi-
t5er- Free transportation will be CIV
en- to all creditable samples of grain or
vegetables forwarded exclusively for
exhibition as above, and all officers and
agents Of these Companies will aid in
every proper manner to collect and for

A. H. Brown, Of Sibley, who is on
trip to the Pacific side, writes back
thus about California, as we find from
a letter published IN the Gazette:
California is suffering terribly from
the dr0uth and Chinese. Every day,
the cars-the steamers-the cOnveyan-
ces Of all kinds are filled with laborers
mostly going elsewhere seeking en-
ployment anda home. Nearly or quite
one half of the passengers on the steam
or to Portland were from California.
While white laborers are going out
Chinese are going in-sl,ip load after
ship }cad are being brought overland
what the result will be, none can tell.
Capital owns labor in the Golden State
and the Chinese are about as near
slaves as human beings get to be that
are not bought anu sold. The Central
Pacific Railroad, the Bonanza Kings,
and few ether Capitalists control
nearly everything. The land is nearly
ala owned and held in large tracts so
there is no chance for a poor man.
California is large State, nearly four
times as large as the State of Iowa, and
las nearly $50, 600 square miles of terri
tory. Yet outside of San Francisco
with her SOC, 600 Inhabitants, there are
only $4,000 inhabitants, about as
aaang as there are in Iowa. And while
Iowa is rapidly filling up with emf
grants, Cal. is being depopulated of her
whi4e laasoring population. Time will
teN Wlsat the result will be!

AMERICA AHEAD.

<AA6zexCA A61HAD.
Not long since there was published a
statement from q Swiss matchmaker,
showing how the American watches
were displacing the Swiss and French,
and anticipating that the manufacture
ers Of Switzerland and France must ei-
ther promptly adopt American machin-
cry and methods or: the workmen must
be transferred to America.
And now comes the London World
and says that American cotton fabrics
threaten to displace the British in their
own market. The World says:
1.-THE fact. is that the Americans are
beating us in our own ,field-a fact
which it may take the political econo-
mists and city editors long time to di-
gest, but which, unfortunately, will
soon be brought home to us all by the
spectacle of thousands of workingmen
thrown permanently out Of employ
ment, and the hopeless paralysis of a
chief source OF our commercial prosper
ity-,'': ,y
" The result will he, when the long-ex-
pected revival of business comes, that
there will again be large influx of
British skilled workmen into this coun-
try, and that America, once gaining
the supremacy in the manufacture of
cotton fabrics, will hold it against the
world.

We notice by some of our exchanges
that Il number of farmers in the State
are building large sheds in which to put
their grain instead of stacking it. The
sheds are made sufficiently high to ad-
NIT a loaded wagon, and grain securely
stored away where it is kept safe from
injury by storm. The advantages of
this plan are several. The grain can lie
cared for more rapidly, is not subject to
bleaching, and when being threshed the
machine can first be placed by the side
of the shed; and afterwards under it,
and the whole be kept from all injury
by storms, Sheds can be very clle;aply

OUR COAL ROAM


During the recent visit of Mr.. Smith,
editor of the Spirit Lake Beacon, we
learned from him that he had had some
correspondence recently with parties
Interested in the Ames Narrow Guage
railroad, now built and operated from
Des Moincs to Ames. These parties
are preparing to push the road north
ward to junction with the Sioux City
Il st. Paul road. Spirit Lake is desir-
Gus of having the road come to that
place and will doubtless give substan-
tial aid when asked.
Il the road takes the Spirit Lake
route, tie psilt ef connection with our
soad ~seaA aatasslly he at Woatllng-
ton. We shat doubtless lie asked for 4
bonus and tasis We will be prepared ia

needed coal road, and would make
WoFthington the coal depot for num-
her Of. the surrounding counties. With
cheap coal Worthington can Aeocaae an
interior manufacturing psiat Of no
mean importance.
OF course this is nothing new to our
readers, for we have advocated the
building of this coal road for several
years. A standard gauge road con-
1aetiag with the Illinois Central at
Tama would be mach better, as it
would give Nc aooess to the Webster
county CAL aelds and Also another east
aA o@t1et for our products, but the
ea,ances Of securing sucl, Il road seem
very remote. The Narrow-Gauge
should receive every possible encour-
agement. for it is already partly built

THE MINNESOTA CROP

THE MINNESOTA CROP.
Commissioner Of Statistics, Metcalf,
has prepared 4 table showing the wheat
yield of the State for the year 1876 and
the acreage for 1877.
The crop of. 1876 averaged 8 64-10O
bushels, while that of 1877 it is estima-
ted will be about double this. The to-
tai yield Of 1875 was 18, ,224, ,ss7 bushels,
while this year it will be between &c.
100000 and 37,0O0,0o0, or about the
yield of 1872. One of Mr.. Metcalf's
statements is of interest rs comparing
Minnesota with other States. OF the
crop failure in 1875, he says:
"This crop was failure, without a
parallel in tha history ef Minnesota.
yet our failures compare favorably with
: the average good crops of Illinois,
which, is estimated at eight bushels; of
Iowa in series Of seven years, which
Is given at 1O.30-tQ0 bushels; of Ohio.
in a series of eleven years, as shown bg
her report, which was lQsS-l0e bushels

We have before US a circular an
nouncing tie publication of 4 book en-
titled ''Behind the Bars; or, An Editor

Seth Wilbur Payne, editor Of the Utica
Daily Bee, who, for criticizing tho con.
duct OF Judge Doollttle, of the New
York Supreme Court, was summarily
sent to the Albany penitentiary on the
charge Of libel. His book was wlitte,
while in prison and is said to .bea re.

the Pioneer-P Press and Judge Page, now
raging, is of the same nature, the Judge
having attempted to punish a reporter
of the Pioneer-Press for criticizing his
action in the 1ngmundson case.
1t seems, from these attempts of
judges to suppress newspaper criticism,
that the only Official in this country
whose acts are above newspaper CON-

abundantly able, like the Chicago

THE LABOR p'UEsTToN:

Since the great railroad strike, polit.
lcal economists, EDITORS, pOllJlclans
manufacturers, are all discussing the
ever-recurring labor question. In pros
porous times it solves itself, but with
the regularity 1t 4 p2anet in its orbit,
what is called a commercial crises
comes, and then the labor question is
re-discussed. There are strikes and
bread riots, and the extremes of COM
munism on the one hand and unpro-
gressive conservatism on the other ap-
pear at their worst j..
Between these lie the great principle
Of Cooperation, which we believe will
ultimately solve the labor question, as
Arbitration will solve the question of
peace and war. When Horace Gree
ley, one of the greatest aud wisest as
he was one of the best-hearted men
that this age produced, urged co-opera-
tion in farming and said the time would
come when farmers would move from
field to field cutting the harvest for
eaoh other and working to the n2asic
01 brass sassds, thus making harvest
time grand frolic and picnic to the
oyerworked farmers wives as we'll rs
to the men, he was of course called Wis
ionary by all those who think they are
especially "'practical." But Horace
Greeley mas only a little ahead Of his
age as great men usually are. The
principle OF cooperation as distinguish.
ed from communism is the true one.
Somebody says tkat the dreams Of one
age are the facts and realities of the
next. This principle of cooperation is
at work and will in due time solve the
labor question.
And what stands in the way? Just
what stands in the way of the milleni-
ana, viz tie selishneas of men. It is
every man for himself and the stronger
in business as in war prevail over the
weaker and the less fortunate. Some
years ago young business man in Bos-
ton resolved that he would never re-
1ain fer himself = greater fortune than
$100, ,O00. All above that he von]d give
to otheca- lie ptospered in Business,
kept his word, and gave away millions
of dollars. But this man reserved
vastly more than lie needed. A man
like Peabody or Vanderbilt could so
use their capital rs to make thousands
and tens of thousands of working men
well-to>do, by simply putting their
wealth, into such enterprises as would
give the men employment in Il business
III WHICH they had personal interest.
1t then the vorkingmen got up strike,
they would be striking against Them
selves and their own business.
y, But The general establishment of CO.
operation is remote. 1t is tl1e working
out Of the only true and practical b,e-
nevolence, viz: helping uen to help
themselves. But for the present, what
the east needs is some plan ct coloni-
zation by which, the iaboring men can
be transferred to the lands Of the West.
Here they are needed and every inter-
est invites them to come. But they
need help, :and the benevolent capital
lists, Of the older States should devise
some plan Of extending them such aid.
