The New railroad King.

Harper's Weekly.
The new railroad king" in Wall street
is Mr.. James ]. Hill. of st. Paul. and the
continent at large, who came over the
Canadian frontier friendless, moneyleSs
boy forty years ago, and is now one OF the
unofficial soyereigns of his adopted coun-
try Mr.. Hill didn't try his prentice hand
on building pyramid or making a do
tionary; he constructed a transconti-
mental railway system, and he still bris-
ties with hair and energy. The bearded
strong men of the earlier generations
who pierced forests, tunneled mountains,
and made flower gardens in deserts have
almost all disappeared. The constructive
era is over In railroads. But Mr.. Hill,
almost the last of the great railroad
builders, now that Coils p. Huntington
is dead, is just as apt, it seems, at COM
bination as at construction. A charming
talker, this little giant of the Northwest,
when he finds the time. The magnificent
farms along the Red river valley which
contribute a great grain traffic to Mr..
Hills Great Northern road, were original
ly stocked with blooded horses and cattle
which, "Jim" HILL as the people out
there call him. imported at his own ex-
pense for their benefit. Now he is reap-
ing his reward, and the people there are
glad of it.

befall in case such men as Gunner Nor
gan should rise to the position of en-
sign:
once they are commissioned they will
nave the same social standing as other
olncers and no distinction properly could
be made In extending general invitations
The consequences that would arise from
lhe1r acceptance might not rebound to
the credit OF the navy or the country
which the navy represents"
Had SIMPSONS social advantages
rule been the law of the American navy
during it's heroic career on the high
seas, this country would have had no
Paul Jones. no Perry, no Lawrence, no
Hull, no Decatur, no Porter, no Farragut.
Most of these men entered the service at
the age Of ten to fifteen years Farragut
began at the age Of nine They were
what they were because they were
brought up on hardship Battle with
the elements and with enemies was their
education. The ball room could never
have produced them. Social advantages
they never had the opportunity to enjoy.
They learned the sea and not society.
Their forte was seamanship, and not ball
room etiquette; and 1t was because of
this that America had naval heroes and
Victories. It was because Of this that
our country in 1T6, in 1912 and in 1854
was saved in the critical hour 1t was
because of this, likewise, that the acts
or these heroes, notwithstanding Samp-
sons fearful apprehensions, never failed
to rebound to the credit of the navy or
the country" These men without So
cial advantages were not "farthest
away" when battle was on, as was
Sampson at Santiago. They had no ETH
quette, but they were always in the
midst Of the fight They gave up the
advantages Of the court, but they never
gave up the ship. In the waltz and the
they did not aspire to fame; but in wind
and wave, and under shot and shell. they
held UP the banner of the navy and ma
ton; and that is all their country asks
Of them.
Rear Admiral Sampson may conclude
that government which emasculates
the country's merchant marine by tariff
apron strings and navigation law red
tape should, to be consistent, possess an
effeminate navy Of ball room captains
and cotfllion commodores. But as re-
CARDS both Of these propositions, the
American people may have something to
say. Not until they are ready to wipe
out eighty-f1ve years Of American mari
time history-the period of American
honor on the high seas-from John Paul
Jones to David Farragut, will they be
ready to adopt ball room laws for the
American navy and accept Sampson as
their naval hero.

SERVING THE STATE.

The o b e has frequently called pub
lie attention to the important function
which is discharged by the organization
known as the Northwestern Manufactur-
ers' association, as an agency for making
known the manufactured products of this
state outside its borders and for finding
markets for such products which without
its Intervention would not be available.
1t is the duty Of the people of every
section of the state to promote the work
which is assumed by this organization.
There is no other direction in which they
can contribute more directly or ma
advancement of the state in population
and Industrial growth.
Year after year we hold our state fair
We make the exhibition almost exclusive
ly an agricultural one. Little or no effort
is made to bring to the attention of our
own people the splendid development OF
manufacturing industries Of different
kinds which is in progress in the leading
cities of the state. Here in st. Paul and
in the other cities local manufactured
products are growing up BEAUTIFULLY and
steadily. They supply a good share Of
local demand, and they are shipped to
points outside of the state What is
done in the way of public effort for their
promotion is essentially local in it's char
.,Iafn OFT A he oh 0nt joor
is being done or has ever been done
through state agencies to bring the exist
ence of such manufacturing industries to
the attention of the people either Of the
state or of communities outside Of the
state.
The G 10 b e some time ago called at
tention to the fact that little or nothing
whatever is being done through the state,
save through the annual state fairs, to
bring to the outside communities the
knowledge Of the superior advanta ges
a center for the development of the dairy
ing industry.
But in the direction of bringing our
manufacturing industries to public atten-
ton, if anything like the same effort
could be put forward through the State
Agricultural society that is made for the
advertisement of our agricultural pro-
ducts, the result would soon be mani
fest. Some time ago the G o b e noticed
the introduction in the state legislature
of measure pointing in this direction.
We do not know what has since become
of the measure or what progress toward
its enactment, if any. has been made.
The measure in Its principal require
ment is an excellent one. 1t should be
enacted. The money which it asks for

WELL DONE.

The announcement that the appropria-
ton of $I1O, 600 for the new postofflce has
rassed the house and senate will be
received by the people of ST. Paul with
considerable pleasure. It establishes the
certainty of the early completion of the
building on a style commensurate with
the Importance Of the city, and assures
to the city the possession of a post
Office which is quite likely to be ade-
Quate to all its needs for many years
to come
The old federal building was expected
at the time of it's erection to meet the
requirements of the city for a much
longer period than 1t did. In fact for
the past twelve or fifteen years that
structure has been bat poorly adapted
to our uses, and the need of such q
structure as the new postofIlce has been
felt for many years past.
The thanks of the people of St. Paul
are due to the representatives OF the
state in congress in the past as we'll
as to the present representatives, and
more especially to those who have rep
resented this congressional district, that
we should be so well provided.
There is no need to deny to Congress-
man Stevens or to the late Senator
Davis or to the present representatives
OF Minnesota in the senate, either on
the score of partisan difference or other
wise, the full measure of credit for the
good work done. Congressman Stevens
is especially entitled to thanks and con-
ordinations He worked faithfully and
persistently for justice to ST. raul; and
the recent changes and extension in
the building plans of the postoff.ce are
due in full measure to hin and his for.
mer associate in congress from st. Paul.
the late c. K. Davis.
There is now ample reason for be-
lieving that the work of tranfer from
the old to the new will soon be begun,
and that within a few months the new
postofice building of St. Paul will be
so far advanced toward completion as to
be ready to be thrown open to the gen,
erai public.

EUROPE RETALTATEs.

Hostile high tariffs and trust organiza-
ton are beginning to reap their re-
wards from an unexpected source The
last bulwark Of the protective tariff
system is the pretense of regulating for
etgn trade" and the one defense that is
soberly set up in behalf of the trust is
that it will enable the United States to
cope with foreign competition in foreign
markets. And now foreign markets
propose to give US a dose of our own
medicine
Russia's ministry proposes to levy upon
leading American imports a prohibitory
tariff, and Germany threatens likewise.
They propose to take a hand in "regu-
lating foreign trade" so far as Amerl-
can imports into their domains are con-
cerned. American tariffs shut Russian
and German imports out of American
markets, and so Russian and German
tariffs or embargoes will return the
compliment. American trusts which
levy eXtortionate prices upon home con-
sumers in order to meet the cost of cut
ting under foreign prices in European
markets, will be met with special embar-
goes against interference in European
trade
In other words, the Europeans have
''got onto our Yankee trust-and-tariff
game. They have discovered that the
American trust is enabled to sell profit
ably abroad, at below cost of production
If necessary, through two facts: o. By
a protective tariff which incloses the
American market within a Chinese wall;
and % by an arbitrary levy upon the
American consumer which covers all the
possible risks and losses of underselling
Ahe foreign market In Europe. That is
to say, the American consumer pays the
freight" for the maintenance Of the trust
trade abroad, and he is compelled to do
It by the tariff prohibition upon imports
and the trust organization of home mon
oroly.
Were the European retaliatory meas
ures restricted to the products Of the
hIuSlS, the SITUATION would not De so Ia
mentable. But the most serious blow
from European retaliation will fall upon
the American farmer Meat and dairy
products and breadstuffs the products of
the farms, the creameries and the -four
Ing mills are in danger Of the brunt
Of the blow. These are institutions
which receive no aid FUN the tariff, but
are the chief sufferers from tariff dis
elimination. Moreover, they are In
situations which are not organized In
trusts. and are among the chief victims
of trust extortion. Accordingly, the
crimes of the trusts and of the other
tariff beneficiaries are charged by the
European retaliators against the victims
of the guilty ones, while the latter are

rhetorical flashing.

erly advised of the extent and character
of the manufaa urM carried on within
our own borders by Their own people they
would not think of going outside the
state In the extshsien of their patronage
TO the articles represented by such man
ufacturers. The best way to bring all
this before our own people. and, to some
extent, before outsiders, is to make a
thorough display at the Minnesota state
fair
IL is proposed to devote as much
space as may be necessary in the main
pulIdlngsto display Of Minnesota-made
goods. In this way visitors from the
state and outside may be enabled to get
fair idea of what Minnesota is doing,
ana the lesson may be brought home to
our own people that they can serve them
selves and their state advantageously by
expendfng here in homemade products
the moneys which they have been so
long expanding for the manufactured ar
t1cles of other states.
1t is understood that the State Agr1cul-
tural society favors the measure. It's Of
hcers know that the display will largely
enhance the5interests In our annual exhi-
blt1on; and they realize that IN seeking
TO promote such display they are help
ing to benefit the agriculturists of the
state, since by the extension Of our
manufacturing enterprises the home mar
kets for agricultural products are there
by increased. The Globe sincerely
hopes that the delegations from the cit
les of the state IN the legislature will see
to it that the measure in question is
speedily enactediinto law

Representative Mcclellan figures that
on the basis Of the mere annual appro-
priations for the army, without counting
pensions. our new military establishment
costs $1,2SS per man. France pays $125,-
100000 year for an army Of 538, 795, or
$232 for each soldier, and the German
army of sos, 900 men costs $136 600, 600 or
s227 each. An American soldier may be
worth five Frenchmen or five Germans,
but he ought not to cost five times as
much. Mr. Mcclellan showed that our
entire military budget now amounts to
$3.50 year for every man, woman and
child in the United States, greater cost
per capita than is imposed by any of
the military governments of Europe.
