The immortality of E..rem. ch.apue...


One of the craoes Of the present day and
one of its immoralities is its desire TO have
things cheaper than is fair to the trader or
honest to the producer. II it can buy at q
bargain it does not stop to consider at whose
loss that bargain is offered, nor how it is
that it gets goods at less than their prime
cost at one place when at another it has to
pay this to the full, and the various inter-
mediary profits beyond-how thing which

with his gains. Let something cheaper than

and people, especially women, flock to it,
purchase as thick rs feldfares or starlings
fiocking to their favorite feeding grounds.
No one cares TO look into the rea-
sons why; no one thinks Of the
grinding down of all the subordinates,
which must needs have been one Of the
factors in the immoral sum-the sweating"
of the workers, the pairing away of anything
like margin from all those whose necessi-
ties compel submission TO the tyranny Of Cir
cunstances. No one realizes the hunger and
cold and nakedness of the children Of the
hard-workei hand by which superfiuity
is to be had for or 3 shillings cheaper here
than elsewhere-a superfluity eagerly bought
by folks who could well afford to pay twice
the stsn and never miss it from the incomes.
And again. no one realizes that n great deal
of this Immortal cheapness comes about by

and thus offering as lure, thinking that il
people find they can buy umbrellas. hand

plays large and varied. premium list was
decided on that has attracted entries from
all the sections of the Northwest, and in
every department the displays will be larger
than ever before. Especially is this true OF
those products which distinctly belong to
Minnesota, and those which under longer
cultivation and breeding will become part
of their staples. Stock of the finest blood
Will be shown more extensively than
the most Sanguine of the managers
had hoped Horses from the best breeders
are already at the stables in large numbers.
The racing program is varied and the
purses generous. Entries in the dairy de-
partment have been large. In the new art
gallery will be collections of rare pictures,
statues and ornamental designs to delight
the souls of those whom the products of
the stables does not attract. The entries
for general exhibition of manufactured
articles have been so numerous as to have
exhausted all the space of the large main
building. Farm machinery has already filled
the buildings allotted to this important and
interesting feature. Facilities for reaching
the grounds from tine TWO cities have been
largely increased and precaution has been
taken to provide for the comfort of visitors
when once they are there. In short the
management is SauSneu ana more tllau
ontident that the state fair which will be
held next week will eclipse any of its
predecessors.
Much of the exhibit is now in place, and
yet it will require lively work to-day and
possibly tomorrow in some of the depart
ments to get everything in readiness for the
opening. But the work Is in a more ad-
vanced stage than is usual two days before
the fair, and no fears are expressed that
any department will be lacking when the
first crowds come.
