THE BIG FAIR BOOMING.
The Finest Exhibition of Live Stock eys'
Shown in the State.

Secretary H. r. Denny, of the State
Fair, says he has more applications
now for space in every department
for the coming exhibition, Septem-
Der 10 to 18th, than were ever known
before 80 early in the season. APP
plications have been received which
will fill every stall in the horse and
cattle barns, and the only thing 10 be
feared is that additional barns will
have to be built for some of the
late corners. Stockmen from every
Western State and many from the
South and East will bring their horses
and cattle to the fair. Already en-
tries are being made in every depart
ment, something never known before
so early. One of the features of the
fair will be an auction sale of fine
cattle. Already the owners of two
splendid herds of Holstelns, viz: John
w. Meyers & Co. of Wells, Mimi,
and J. G. Wade, OF Jamestown, OAK,
will put up large portion of their
fine herds including the very best
ANIMALS on their farms. The sale
will be conducted by Col. FIN. Wood
of Lincoln, Neb., the famous live
stock auctioneer, and the animals
will be sold without reserve on the
second bid. In addition to the above
herds it is expected that portions oil
three other herds will be offered at
auction. making something over l50
head to be offered.

Kansas and Nebraska.

These are by far the brightest and
most vigorously growing of the trans
Missouri States, and the reason OF
their exceptional prosperity seems to
be found not alone In the fertility of
soil and natural features SO admir-
ably adapted to stock-raising as well
as grain growing, but also in the
thrift, intelligence and high character
of those who settled these two states.
In the quantity aud variety OF agri-
cultural productions, in educational
facilities, IN public buildings, and
thriving cities they rival many of
the older states. The Burlington

How to Abolish Beggary.

A correspondent of one Of our con-
temporaries recently asked United
States Senator Stanford, of California,
what could be done In this country
to abolish beggary. The answer OF
the philanthropic millionaire was as
follows:
Thore is only one way. Dry up the
source-abolish the conditions that
make beggars. To try to cure poverty
by street charity Is like trying to stop
hole In your root by hopping up
the paddles that gather on your floor.
Nobody Is worse off because the Van

Free Trade and Wages.

ST. PAUL, MINI, Aug, Is, 1888.
Editor Morris Tribune: In your is
sue of the 18th inst. you give figures
said to be on the authority of Mayor
Hewitt, showing that wages In the
iron and steel manufactures have de.
creased in England during the last
20 years, 81 per cent. You close by
saying, GAS centennial cheap labor
has cheapened wages in England, SC
will free trade have similar result
in this country" Now I will not GO
into an argument as to whether the
figures you give are correct or not
I simply wish to call your attention
to the fact that the continental
cheap labor" you speak of is highly
protected. Now, it protection in.
ereases the price of labor, how is il
that the protected labor of the conti-
nent is not only cheap itself, but &C
tually cheapens labor in free trade
England? There seems to be some
very strange Inconsistency here some
where. In the light of these fact.
your closing paragraph above quoted
would mean as follows: LAS pro-
lection cheapens and has cheapened
labor in this country" If protection
increases the price of labor then la
Dor should be far higher in protected
France, Germany and Italy, than in
free trade England. But the reverse
is the fact, and labor is vastly better
paid in free trade England than in
protected Germany, France and TIA
ly, therefore 1 conclude that free
trade increases the price oflabor, and
protection decreases it, all of which
is shown by your own statement.
