the great country which they know
vaguely under the name of the
United States. The exhibit will be-
very compact, but az complete as
possible, and will show az we'll a.
it may be done by the aid of charts
aud graphlcs, what constitutes a
state" By the aid of pamphlets
the constitution and a brief outline
OF the laws and ,hs frame work of
the government will be presented.
Tabulated statements will demon.
strate the work of the educational,
charitable, and penal institutions,
and these Will be augmented by
official reports for the benefit Of
those interested. Graphics and
shaded maps like thuse so ingen.
lously employed in the last census
reports and the government buree,
of statistics will demonstrate Il e
p population, race, character, school
and labor statistics, vital and health
statistics, agriculture, forestry,
mining, fisheries, etc.
Brief digcsts Of this educational
material will be translated into
French, German and Spanish, 50
that the reading and thinkir
European business man or worklu.,-
man will be able to learn something
of the American theory of govern
ment, where the right to vote and
to serve in every Office displaces
military duty, and where the eslab
hshed school takes the place of the
established church.
Comparative typographical ma
will be used to give an lnteilige :
idea of the American states. Thu !,
the state of New York alone will be
shown TO cover an area Iour times
as large as Belgium, and South
Dakota seven times as large. l.
single state, Texas, will be present
ed TO the eye as an empire as la
as France, England and Belg'
together; or Germany and hng and ;
or the whole of Germany, the
Netherlands, Belgium and Portugal
combined.
So far, the western states have
shown more alertness and enter
prise than their eastern sisters in
taking advantage of the opportunity
presented. Colorado, New Mexico,
Texas and South Dakota have APP
piled for space aud will make strik
ing exhibits of their products a,ti
natural wealth. So far, Pennsy
van.a is the only state that has 9
assure exhibit, her large iron and
manufacturing industries demand
ing representation at the greates'
market for these commodities in
Europe, but Governor Flower j
ga TO favor representation by tn,
Empire state. whose large CONNER
cial interests could Ill afford to lose
such a golden opportunity; anc
Governor Mckinley, who Is alive
to the Importance of the wool in
dustry in his sta.e, favors participa
ton in an exposition in the cente'
} of the greatest wool market il
Europe. Massachusetts Will doubt
less follow the lead of New York
her greatest commercial rival; ano
) Virginia, Georgia and Florida will
! attend for the purpose of adver'is
ing their great natural wealth.
Louisiana is growing commercial
state, and large exporter of sugar
1 rice and cotton will claim prom
nent place in the great continent
market for these staples, so that
can easily be seen that Europe viii
have an opportunity to learn an OBJ
iect lesson of Americas resources
without taking journey across the
: ocean.
4 The exposition will be a fitting
supplement to the magnificent de
monstration at Chicago, and tn
Z. Uolted States will endeavor to show
i to Europe not merely its weal'
t but what is meant by "govern
ment of the people, by the people
9 and for the people,"
