SAVING A NATION.

The ACKNOWLEDGMENT of China is evil
IDENTIFY not to be one of the accomplish
ed facts of this century. Thanks to the
moral influence of the United States and
the inability of the other nations to agree
upon division of the imperial spoils. the
disintegration of an ancient nation is at
least deferred, and possibly averted for
all time.
1t is for the promotion OF trade that
the European nations are in Asia at all.
1t is one of the hypocrisies Of history that
the more powerful and advanced nations
pretend to concern themselves in the at
fairs of their weaker and less progress
sive neighbors for their moral elevation.
and to set them right on the road of true
civilization. Modern societysis not delud-
ed by any such view. The partisan of a
given political party may give his adj
herence to such view. The statesmen of
the. world are forced, in the attempt TO
Justify the aggressions which they set On
foot, to maintain the view. But it is false,
and the world is no longer deceived by
it.
Were the Chinese not sunk so deeply in
they would long since have availed them
selves of the example set them by the
Japanese nation. Did that interesting
race meet the great crisis which confront
ed 1t with an awakening from the slum-
bers of centuries as China has done,
the world would long since have been
discussing. and might today be still dis
cussing, the partition Of Japan.
Butsthe slumbers of China are COM
ing to a close. A great nation is about
to reappear on the stage of the world.
Before many generations the Chinese will
be accounted one of the great races Of
the world, as they have been in the past.
No people possessing in such rare degree
as they the essential qualities of indus
try and individual uprightness can fail
to take a leading place in the progress
of the world when they have rubbed tho
sleep of centuries from their eyes. The
richness of their land, its incalculable ma
terial resources, are made plain beyond
all peradventure by the degree of greed
which has been aroused among the more
civilized peoples who covet their posses
sions.
The world of sentiment and intellect
will wish that the example and influence
the fullest, and that before many weeks
the tides of public and private life will
run in their normal condition in the Chi
nese empire.
Only the gift of prophecy will enable
any statesman, however wise, to tell
what the immediate future may produce
in China.

and all the other members of society who
live by doing work incidental to supplying
the wants Of productive society, will the
better understand of what comparative
ly small moment they are in the plan Of
society if they visit the state fair, and
there presented of what part the farmer
plays in the welfare of the common
wealth.
No display of the kind that is made in
any state of the Union offers more con-
vincing evidence of the fruitfulness of the
soil or the natural wealth which repre-
sents so important a part of the Inherit
ance Of the American people than that
which will be visible at Hamline during
the present week Any man, no matter
what his walk in life may be, will be all
the better for visit to the grounds.
We of the cities owe it to those whose
products are exhibited that we visit the
fair in the greatest possible numbers.
The visit is one from which infinite en-
joyment can be gained. The objects which
are there exhibited possess a degree of
novelty and interest to the resident of
the city which they cannot possess to
those who are daily in contact with them.
If the farmers are expected to visit the
fair in great numbers, so much the more
generously should it receive the patron
age of the men of the city.
noting the success, financially and other
wise, of the state fair. The institution is
one which has always enjoyed the patron
age of it's people in greater extent than
of those of any other community. Local
pride calls for such patronage when it IS
remembered that this is the capital Of the
state, and that the fair is held within
our doors. Not alone on ST. Paul day,
but on every day during the fair should
our people visit and patronize the state
fair. Our example will be followed by
others, and the gain which must necessa-
riiy come to our commercial interests
must, apart from every other considera-
ton, be so great as to demand a sacr1-
flee at our hands.
Never have the conditions been more
favorable to the success of the state fair
than they are this year. The prosperous
condition of all classes of society ought
to find the fullest expression in the sup
port extended to the State Agricultural
society. The institution is entitled to the
generous patronage of the people of the
entire state.

THE sTATH FAIR.

1t is something more than a mere CO.
incidence that on this day the people of
Minnesota should be found engaged in
the celebration of the gain to society
which comes from the labor of the two
great divisions of productive society-the
mechanical and the agricultural toilers.
The state fair opens up year after year
on the day which the state has set apart
for the recreation, enjoyment and we'll
being of those who labor with their
hands For one week those of US who
have nothing to do with productive toll
except as mere supernumeraries. SO to
speak have given to US the occasion for
reflection on the trite but still unrecog-
nized truth that on the shoulders Of the
MECHANIC and the farmer rests the entire
superstructure of society. No more in
structive fact can be brought home to the
mind of the statesman or scholar than
this. Without the industry of the men
who march on the public thoroughfares
Of the cities of America today, combined
with that of those who till The soil, and
the products of whose labors are seen in
such grand variety at the state fair, or
ganized society would cease 10 exist, ana
we would be forced back to the habits
and conditions of barbarism.

Heve that they should be content with
what God sends them. There can be no
content where it Is a constant struggle
to get and to have. The poor man who
supports and educates his family from
the fruits of his hard labor, and dis
charges the task set to him, may not re-
ceive either the applause or the consid-
Grafton of the world but he is none
the less in the eyes of God and man alike
the highest expression of human activity.
Doubtless as the world goes on and
organizations of laborers continue to set
themselves TO the task of getting more
there will be a material advance in the
money compensation which comes to the
individual worker, and his material lot
will be better. But will he be a happier
or a more contented man as the result?
VIII he be more moral or more spiritu-
ally inclined more exalted being, than
he was before? The history of human
progress contains on every page the true
answer the 4u6SLlcIl.
Peace and contentment is the lesson of
Labor day. The movement which helps
to bring employers and employees to an
understanding of the truth that the sue
cess of one is the measure of the 9th
ers success, and that without forbear-
ance and mutual regard prevailing
gain to either, is the movement to the
advancement of which all men who live
by labor should set themselves. Organi-
zed labor has done much in this direc-
ton. 1t is to the efforts of the organi-
cations largely that We owe it that so
many of the false and often brutal mis-
conceptions of the relations of employer
and employee have been destroyed, and
that master and servant are everywhere
today adjusting their affairs on the basis
of mutual agreement. Those are the
lines on which the greatest good for all
can be accomplished We must get away
from the more modern conception that
the Stfong hdHu OF 1oIce IS the IhoSI
available means of securing the rights
of those who labor and Of those for whom
they labor. If labor organization will d.
rect itself to this end it will have done
much to set society back once more
on the path which it should never have
left in the adjustment of the rights of
master and servant-that which leads to
the conclusion that each must be inter
ested in the others welfare if both or
either can prosper.

MONDAY, SEPT 8, 1900.
LABOR DAY.

Throughout the United States today
those who do the hard, physical labor Of
the land are invited to celebrate the day
as one dedicated by the states to the
cause Of their betterment and to the rec
ognition of the important part which
they bear in the progress of the world.
This is a nation of workers. There are
none among us, or there ought not to
be, who do not derive their happiness
from the fruits of their toll. In the ex-
listing plan of human society, it too often
happens that member of it, whose rela-
ton toward his fellow-man Is that Of a
parasite, receives too much consideration
from the state and from the laws of
the state. That is merely the badge Of
the imperfection which attaches to hui
mainly. 1t has been so all through the
centuries; but 1t is less so in this land
than elsewhere, and it is growing less so
In this age than ever before
The men who make up the organiza-
tions Of labor are those who celebrate
Labor day in the spirit in which it was
designed that 1t should be celebrated
1t is to their honor that such is the case.
They Of all others seem animated by
the thought that labor should make all
mon equal, and that on the products of
their labor men alone should live and
thrive in well-ordered society. 1t is to
human folly and short-sightedness that
we owe it that men arc disposed to
make the sum Of their material posses
sions the test of their prosperity and
happiness. Yet the lessen of life is
taught to US day by day that human hap
piness is a thing wholly apart from the
possession OF wealth, and that he who is
satisfied with what comes to him as the
fruit of legitimate effort and who OBJ
serves as closely as human transactions
will permit the rule OF doing 10 others
as he would have others do to him is
the only really happy man.
Labors reeuital today is both abso-
lutely and relatively batter and more
than it ever was before. 1t is greater
here than elsewhere throughout the
world, and it grows greater as we ad-
vance in material prosperity; but how
many miilicps of human beings are there
who have not what will do over night
that are happier and more content than
those who through force, ability or cum
ming have secured more, than is their
share, or than those others. who, mistak-
ing the entire plan Of life, devote their
days solely to the accumulation of ma
terial things.
