any other old place where man is not
a drug on the markell"
It is a plain proposition that the
matrimonial market for men in the
West is completely broken down. Look
at Minnesota = 195.529 bachelors,
married male surplus Of 110,2S5, or 100
per cent. How can this vast bachelor
hood void be filled? Science answers,
Never, except by immigration to
cline where women thrive and the
country does not run to males!"
Can New England and the Atlantic
coast help out? Scarcely at all. For
even in Massachusetts there is bach
elor excess of per cent; in Rhode ISL
and, per cent; in Connecticut, Is per
cent; in New Hampshire, &c per cent;
in New York, % per cent; in PennsyI-
vania, 38 per cent; in Ohio, likewise, SO
per cent; in Indiana the condition
grows worse, with so per cent surplus
of single males; in Illinois, 6S per cent;
in Missouri, n per cent; in Kansas,
1oS per cent; and in the Pacific states
the case grows dark and hopeless, with
dead surplus of 200 to 800 per cent
of the masculine unmarried and un-
marryable.
One of the most promising locations
for men, strangely enough, from the
standpoint of equality in the unmar-
ried state of the two sexes, is the Dis
trict of Columbia, where the male pill
grimage, one would think, has been ex-
ceptionally strong. AS compared with
3O,754 unmarried men of marriageable
age, there are D29,92S unmarried maids
over twenty years of age So it ap-
pears that politics and government Of
fee have been as strong magnets for
unmarried women as men at the ma
tional capital.
Another interesting phase of the
subject is, that woman suffrage in
Colorado, Wyoming and Idaho do not
seem to have discouraged matrimony
and produced old maids, but rather, to
have stimulated the matrimonial mar
ket for women and given them hus-
bands. AS compared with 71,412 bach
| elors in Colorado, there are only 23,282
| maids; in Wyoming, the still greater
| disparity of 20,927 bachelors against
2,347 spinsters, and in Idaho, 23,421
| against 1885, in other words, 1000
bachelors against only $4,000 maids in
the three woman suffrage states COM
bined. Thus mankind has another tell
ing argument against the spread of
woman suffrage-it produces a strong
er and more buoyant female market,
whereas the interests and welfare of
the nation demand a more active mar
ket and more hopeful prospect for the
unmarried male.
Problem: Will the next hundred
years see reversal of the immigration
movement of the world, and witness of
the turning back of the males in a tidal
wave from the West toward the effete
East, where man is in demand and has
an opportunity in life to earn wife?

GREATEST STATE FAIR.

1t is now matter of record for sew
eral years that Minnesota i. has the
greatest state agricultural fair in
America. For years the great agri-
cultural exhibit of Canada at Toronto
was given first place; but Minnesota
now stands in the van both in number
and magnitude of exhibits and in at
tendance and gate receipts.
Minnesota's live stock exhibit at the
annual state fair has long since reach
ed national proportions, and is known
to the live stock interests of the entire
country as a national live stock show
and the leading one in the country In

MAN A DRUG ON THE MARKET.

1t is strange and serious fact, that,
whereas in Europe there is a surplus
of q women to every 1000 people born.
IN the United States, to the contrary,
there is a surplus of "a men.
AS result, there are in the United
States today, by actual count, 1900, 900
more males than females; and the con-
dition is getting worse, for in 1890 the
masculine surplusage was 300, 900 less
and reached 100000.
The serious aspect of the case forces
itself upon our attention when we con-
slider the matrimonial market. The
government statisticians have proven
beyond shadow of doubt that there
are at this hour 100000 more bach
elors than spinsters in the United
States.
Consider the situation-2,531,S3 1893, to
use exact figures, unmarried men that
cannot find spinsters enough to 60
around = ,531,333 eligible American
citizens of the masculine sex who can
not marry at ALL unless they take wild
ows or girls under twenty, and, what is
still more serious, there are not enough
even of the widows and girls from sew
enteen to twenty to fill the demand of
the 100000 forsaken masculines.
In other words, in this free land of
ours, with it's Stars and Stripes and
its boosted promise that every man
has a right to be president, man is ac-
tually drug on the market, and he
cannot even be guaranteed a woman
for wife. He is simply told that he
can enter into the scramble, with the
assured prospect that 100000 Of his
brethren are going against the wall
and will fall defeated and womanless.
The situation for the unmarried male
is such, that it is essential that he
should consider the statistics of wom-
ankind, especially the unmarried. in
choosing his location for life. Instead
OF examining the crop statistics, the
live stock development and the mill
and mine output of the various states.
In choosing state for his future ca
reer, the wise young man without a
wife will study the census reports on
spinsters and other unmarried females.
This brings us to the downfall of the
dominant saying that has had SO much
to do with the development of this
country. Instead of the glorious COM
mand: go West, young man, GO
