FIGURES FOR THOUGHT

Attention is called to an article pub
lished elsewhere to-day reviewing the in
dustrial development and promise of Min
neapolis in the light of the census of
1900.
It will be seen that there is great room
for industrial growth here. The disparity
between our major industries and those
next in Importance is too great. From a
$4,000 900 output Of -four to $4,000, 900
for lumber and then down to $4,000 900
or $4,000, 900 for output of the next most
important Industries is too big Jump.
The article speaks for itself, but 1t is
noteworthy that in the list of industries
that have an output exceeding million
annually, the manufacture of agricul-
tural machinery is CONSPICUOUS by its abb
sence. Minneapolis, which is in SO many
respects the great agricultural market of
the country, ought to lead in supplying
peculiarly agricultural demands It is a
great machinery jobbing center, but 1t
makes very few machines itself for use on
the farms.

Before Mr.. Edwards began his disquisi-

the duties and occupations Of parts Of
the Minneapolis police force. Now We
know that they were not altogether idle,
that even the plain clothes men oc-
casionally did something and that they
were not lacking in good, sound business
ideas. They were even more business
like" than Mr.. Edwards, who sentimental
.ly held that he had no objections to be-
ing "skun'' by some one else in view of
the fact that he was in the "skinning''
business himself. The close listed police,
however, were utterly opposed to the
mingling of business and sentiment and
were in no mood to be lenient with an
alleged newspaper man who, 1t is charged,
undertook to graft on them little. a

WHAT WILL THEY Do?

fhe Minnesota republicans will have
nara nut to crack when they come to
frame q platform plank covering the gen
eral question Of reciprocity and the par
ticular question Of Cuban reciprocity
W1ll they stand with the congressional
delegation which has unquestionab bly, mis-
represented the state as to Cuba or Will
they stand with the president?
The embarrassment of the situation
arises from the fact that to stand with the
president is to express disapproyal Of the
delegationn,s course, while, on the other
hand, to indorse the delegation is to dis
approve Of the presidents plan; which
happens also to be the plan of the people
of Minnesota. -~..,.r,t. -.
Kansas and Ohio state conventions have
already met and declared for reciprocity
with, Cuba. In Ohio Mr. Dick came out
from Washington loaded with a water
logged plank that killed space and said
nothing. But the republicans of Ohio
would have none of it. ".
In the plainest and most emphatic
terms they declared for reciprocity with
CuDa, saying:
We believe it is due alike to Cuba and to
ourselves that, in accordance with the repub-
lican principle of reciprocity, proper and rea-
sonable trade concessions shall be made by
our government to Cuba in return for he1
concessions upon American products. so as

tion of our national honor, whether expressed
or implied
There is plank that exactly expresses
the Minnesota idea: reciprocity lis good
for US and good for the Cubans; it is NO
charity, but both a mutually satisfactory
and desirable business arrangement which
we are in honor bound to give. sT->
It will be interesting to see whether
the Minnesota convention will do. what
the people would have it do or whether ii
will give up it's way for the way Of the
congressional delegation and turn out
some grotesque, meaningless plank which
will compromise in the middle what il

WHEN THE KING DIES

One ]. Rierpont Morgan, 9 simple Amer
lean in whose veins flows no Norman
blood, on whose head rests no coronet, Is
the possessor Of q life esteemed by the
business world more valuable than that
of the late Queen Victoria, To. safeguard
against the effects Of his unexpected
death on the mighty undertakings he tissup-
porting men who have put money into
his enterprises are innsurring his life:
At the same time there has arisen q
school Of fnanciers that are protesting
against too much one-man influence IN
business. Pamphlets are being circulated
in the financial centers stating the objec-
tions to imposing SO much power and re-
sponsibility on one man, and even men
friendly to Mr.. Morgan are considering
the question of how to prevent the modern
Atlas from taking on a larger load. -~~l
But to organize corporations thaticontrol
the giant companies Of the industrial
world throughout the physical world is the
career of Mr.. Morgan. Once he was a
banker, now he is the prince of merger
makers. So long as Mr.. Morgan lives
he will continue to combine combines into
combines and heap consultations upon
consultations. The tremendous scale of
point that the lesser powers in the. bust
ness world view him with as much fear
and suspicion as the lesser monarchs Of
Europe viewed the great Napoleon when
he was organizing that merger of, the
continent of Europe which the late Cecil
Rhodes thought might have done the
world much good had it been maintained.
But there is this difference between the
positions of Napoleon and Morgan. The
powers that envied and hated Napoleon
saw nothing to lose and everything to
gain in curtailing, his power or. even in
sending him into exile. On the contrary
the very men who fear Morgan and are
alarmed by his operations do not dare to
attack him for fear that If, in failing, he,
like Sampson, should pull down the
structures he has raised, they would per-
ish in the ruins. What they want is that
Mr.. Morgan shall go no further, that he
shall make no more combinations, that
AS SAcklA CohtSAt AAS SQui III pSdSG,' CEASE
his creative labors and limit his activi-
ties hereafter to administration But
Morgan will not cease to labor any more
| than any man will cease to enjoy himself
| when he has the opportunity, and work
and enjoyment are to be found in the same
activity. - -.
While it is only natural that men should
| fear the ruin that may follow the death
of the financial king 1t is worthy of note
that recent admiring biographer says
that Mr.. Morgan has so arranged his af-
fairs that when he dies the great mergers
he has made will run as smoot hly as while
he lived. It may be some time before
there arises another who can consolidate
as well as Mr.. Morgan, but this biogra
pher thinks that the machines he has
made can be successfully operated b,
other men. .-.. ...-
At any rate there seems to be no helr
for the fearful ones unless they can formu.
late some scheme to send Morgan into
financial exile and forcibIy keep hin
from doing what he was born to do. H.:
