Progress at the Omaha Exposition.

Omaha, Neb., March 22.-Plans for
State buildings at the Trans Mississippi
exposition are coming in rapidly. The
department of publicity has just received
the architects drawings of the Mime
sofa building, the Montana building, the
Arkansas building, the Denver building
and the Missouri building.
The plans of the proposed Iowa build
ing met the hearty approval of the ex-
position authorities The Illinois build
ing Is nearly completed with the excep-
ton Of the additional wing, made neces-
sary for the accommodation of the fine art
exhibit which Illinois will bring to the
exposition.
The Wisconsin building is well under
way and will be one of the most COM
plete State buildings ON the grounds.
The Nebraska building is practically
completed.
Plans for the Georgia pine palace have
been submitted. It will be constructed
wholly of pine donated by the people Of
Georgia. The Minnesota building will
be constructed on similar lines, of un
hewn Minnesota logs. It is highly prob
able that the States of New York and
New Jersey will construct handsome
buildings
Thirty-five States have to date decided
to participate In the exposition. In
thirty of these commissions have been
appointed, and reports from agents in
the field are to the effect that at least
five more States will be organized within
the next ten days.
The great government building, 500
feet long, and the pinnacle of whose
dome Is nearly 200 feet high, is nearly
done. The management finds it neces-
sary to build several annexes to accom-
modate the extraordinary demand for
space.

Washington with a view Of enlisting
Congressional encouragement. Such as
| Is sought In no wise contemplates any
appreciable outlay Of public money; but
II secured will be the means Of doing
untold good to American agriculture in
all the years to come. II is hoped to Sc
cure from the government hearty en-
dorsement OF the desire that corn shall
be well represented in the government
exhibit at the Paris exposition.
The general proposition for promoting
the increased use Of maize Is 80 self
evident that he who runs may read, and
everything should be done to foster our
export trade in corn and corn products.
Corn is the greatest arabic crop Of the
country, and our surplus above home re-
Quirements Is always liberal During the
past year we shipped abroad III 100000,
but as shown in Orange Judd Farmers
March report, farm reserves are still
some 700,00O,00O bushels. Foreigners
look with increasing favor upon Amer
lean maize, and the possibilities Of fur
ther great expansion Of the export trade
are almost unlimited. How important,
then, that every reasonable means be
employed looking toward permanent
enlargement of the consumption Of corn
in Europe. And how better can this
be accomplished than through the me-
dium of an ample exhibit at the great
Worlds Fair soon to be held in Paris?
In view of these facts, it Ia vitality i'm
portant just at this time that every hon
orable effort be made to secure favorable
consideration and encouragement at the
hands Of Congress. This work of corn
promotion, including It's greatly enlarged
use, Is a national work; not limited to
this journal nor to the patriotic people
of the various States who have put their
shoulders to the wheel. 1t is far broader
than that, and is receiving the en-
couragement of the agricultural press
generally. Let the position Of the Amer
lean Maize Propaganda be heartily sup
ported; let the constituency of the agri-
cultural press the country over be urged
to bring prompt and liberal pressure to
bear upon Representatives and Senators
in Congress. We cannot too strongly
urge upon our readers the fact that to
secure their rights in the matter they
must express their opinions personally
and pointedly to their representatives In
Congress- Persistent work along this
line will tell. Earnest cooperation and
individual effort of those directly inter-
ested in agriculture can WELD such
power, as to secure this much needed
encouragement, with the finality of
permanently enlarged market for this
great American crop.

THE AMERICAN MAIZE PROPAGANDA

The wide-awake editor of the Orange
Judd Farmer, who so wisely originated
the idea Of an organized effort in this
country for an enlarged use Of American
corn, is working with an untiring zeal
for the accomplishment Of this great
and laudable object. An increased use
would make an increased demand, and
an increased demand would make an in
creased price for this great American
product and the increased price would
add to the wealth Of the American
farmers. One Of the most opportune
means ever offered for introducing our
corn to foreign nations would be a cred
table display at the Worlds Fair in
Paris in 1900. Calling attention to this
fact Mr.. Myrick well says:
The very important work OF finding
q wider market for our corn crop Is as
Stunning great impetus through the wise
and aggressive efforts Of the American
Maize Propaganda. So valuable is this
undertaken work that the Orange Judd
Farmer once more advocates in most

This movement, SO successfully launched
at Chicago last month, has rapidly taken

every energy toward securing an early
application Of the good to be derived
from help along this line. Leading rep

Inexcusable Government Loss.

II the Kansas Pacific was not worth
the governments claim plus the first
mortgage, why did it permit a divided
sale OF the Union Pacific and Kansas Pa
cidc last fall, when it was possibleNto to
compel the reorganization syndicate to
stand to joint bid for the governments
in both properties, and so make che goy-
ernments stronger claim in Union Pa
ciic carry through the weaker claims in
Kansas Pacific? Attorney General Nc
Kenna justified the administrations
course then by undertaking to prove that
the Kansas Pacific was worth more than
enough to cover the whole government
claim Of nearly $130O0,00O. But now
the administration says the Kansas Pa
citic is not worth more than enough to
cover $6,SOS000 Of the public claim, and
prepares to surrender the remaining So
5000 to the syndicate. II it had de-
liberately set out to trick the public,
could 1t have done much more?
Much is made of the fact that the gov
ernment Is to get the principal of the
debt from the Kansas Pacific in full. The
President, In his annual message, placed
emphasis on the desirability of enforc-
ing at least the payment of the principal
Of $6,SO3,0OO. The impression obviously
sought to be made by this talk is that
the government will really lose nothing.
Its loan to Kansas Pacific is likened by
implication to an ordinary investment
which did not yield the expected or
promised interest, but the principal OF
which was recovered by the investor.
But the case is quite different. The
government has actually paid out the in
terest money which remains unpaid by
the Kansas Pacific to the amount Of
1t would be not construc-
tive but an actual loss. The government
issued the subsidy bonds which were sold
by the railroad company TO private in
vestors and it has paid the interest on
those bonds to the amount specified,
without compensation from the road, and
must now pay the principal of the bonds.
How absurd, therefore, to distinguish
between the principal and the interest
in the settlement of the claim, as if the
interest loss would be constructive and
not actual. It smacks of an effort to
throw dust in the eyes Of the people, and
makes the bargain appear to be what it
Is not. The simple fact is that prepara-
tions have been made to hand over $6,-
100000 Of public money or property to
the Union Pacific syndicate.-The Re-
publican (Ind.) Springfield

WHY ARE THE WORKERS TARDYq

Government activities are on the in
crease everywhere. This growth shows
two types-paternalism and fraternal-
ISM The best example of paternalism is
Germany, where the Emperor and Bis
marCk have adopted a policy known as
"state socialism socialism controlled
by the monarchy. The best example Of
fraternalism Is Switzerland, where gov
ernment activities are equally numerous
and where the government from to z
is as democratic as an old New England
town meeting"
What Herbert Spencer foresaw so
clearly the inevitable trend Of the world
toward collectivism is no longer proph-
ecy but fact No student Of Compare
tive politics" will deny this. The ques-
tion of the hour Is: who will control the
government when the government con-
trolls all natural monopolies? the people,
or a plutocracy, emperor, arlstocracy or
some new form of tyranny?
The United States is the slowest CIV
ilized nation about taking hold of its
monopolies. But make no mistake; she
cannot stand still much longer in the
march OF progress.
The chief and first duty of true re-
formers here as everywhere is to secure
absolute and eternal control Of the gov
ernment by the people. For until gov
ernment ownership means people own
ership it is undesirable and dangerous.
Direct legislation is the only means
yet discovered for tearing up tyranny
root and branch, destroying its seed,
slaughtering its relatives and blotting
out it's name from among men.
When the peOple-not politicians
shall rule, they will get all they de-
serve. History is long chronicle of the
rule of the worst, the result Of people
trying to get more than they deserved
the rule Of the best When the people
are the real as well as the theoretical
rulers, the first aim and object of govern
ment will be OF necessity, the production
not OF wealth but of splendid citizens.
Not few only, just enough for leaders
and rulers--but all. Upon no other basis

OUR MERCHANT MARINE.

It is a sad commentary upon Amerl-
can genius and American enterprise that
the people Of this country annually pay
5000 100000 to English ships for car
rying our trade to foreign lands. This
great sum Of money ought to be paid
to our own ships and seamen instead
Of going out Of this country to foster
the ocean trade OF foreign countries.
Millions more ought to be used in build
ing and maintaining our merchant ma
rine.
Before the civil war the ship-buid-
ing industry Of this country ranked next
in Importance to agriculture and was
among the greatest industries Of that
kind In the world. Nearly half million
Of our men received employment be-
cause Of that great industry. Our ship
builders made ships to sell and sold them
to the merchantmen of foreign lands.
American ships bearing the American
flag then carried one-third of the ton
mage of the world and three-fourths Of
the products of our own country. The
American flag was a familiar sight on
every sea, the American trader was
welcome guest in every foreign mar
ket and American ships were anchored
in every foreign port.
During the war the attention Of our
people was absorbed In the preservation
of the union, and foreign vessels took
possession Of the ocean highways and
our merchant marine dwindled away
After the close of the war money was
abundant and seeking investment, but 1t
went into railroads, corporation inter-
ests and landed mOnopolies. No attempt
has been made to restore and develop the
great ship-bullding industries which this
country could and ought to maintain and
we are paying every year to foreign
countries hundreds Of millions Of dol
lars which ought to be kept at home
to furnish employment and food and
clothing to our own people. We are
importing munitions Of war carried in
foreign vessels, manned by foreign sea-
men and owned by foreign masters to
whom our money must be paid, instead
of having a merchant marine of our
own which would make us as independ-
ent at sea as we are within the borders
Of our own land. We speak Of "our mer-
chant marine" when in fact we have
none worthy OF the name, We have per-
mitted foreign policies to monOpolize the
industries of the seas and they
are fattening at our expense while Amer
lean labor is searching for employment
and American workmen are clamoring
for bread.
