Twcnty.One Millions to Industrial
EXpOsitions.

Since 1862 the United States Govern
ment has aided eleven industrial expo
sitions in this country and ten in foreign
countries, the total amount appro-
priated for them being $2l ,107, 1852 rs.
In 1862, while the Civil War was drawing
constantly and heavily on the national
resources, $4,000 was appropriated for
display at the exposition in London
Five years later, while the nation was
vet PROSTATE from the effects of the war
so12 7o3 was spent for an exposition in
Paris. In 1873 Vienna was the scene of
a great fair, for which our Government
expended 5000, 900.
In 1876 the Centennial Fair in Phila-
delphia was held. The contribution of
the Federal Government to it amounted
to 50, ,533, 1880 Two years later there
was another great fair in Paris, for
which this country expended 100000
In the following year the Sydney. New
South Wales, worlds fair was held, and
Congress voted $40, 900 for the expenses
of our Government there. In the follow
ing year there was an exposition in
Melbourne, Australia, at which we were
represented, our expenses being $5s, 900.
In the same year we participated in the
Berlin exposition, spending $4,000.
In 1884 New Orleans and Louisville,
Ky, held celebrations For the New
Orleans show the Federal Government
expended 81 $50 900, and for the Louis
vile affair $4,000. In 1855 Cincinnati
celebrated at an expense of $l57,750 to
Uncle Sam. In 1883 Barcelona and
Brussels gave expositions, in which we
took part. The Spanish fair cost the
United States s2s, ,3s0.28. The Belgian
show received help to the extent of
s35 900 from us.
In 1892 Miss COLUMBIA went to the
Madrid industrial fair, her expenses
being s25, 900. In 1898 the United States
held the Columbian Exposition at
Chicago. The cost to the nation was

made, in order to convince the Gar that
they were not neglectful OF what has no
doubt been represented as a matter OF
vital import to Russia. Now that the re-
quest has been submitted, and, Of course,
rejected, it should be easier to convince
NICHOLAS H., whose desire for peace is
undisputed, that war can only be averted
by frank recognition Of Japan's claim
to preponderance in Corea.
While, however, we expect to see ne
gotiations continue, we do not overlook
the fact that Russian Jingoes may pre-
cipitate collision in the Far East, in
which event it might prove not difficult
to persuade the Car that the nations
honor was involved.

The Iowa Historical Society has collected
some interesting information as to the
stimulus given to immigration by our for
eign born citizens. The Danish colony in
Shelby county, in that State, fine agri-
cultural region, is said to be the largest in
the Union. Three or four Danes settled
there about twenty-five years ago, In let
ters to their friends at home they told OF
their advantages for farming. The colony
began to grow. Since then the first member
Of family to come over and settle in Shelby
county has usually been the means of bring
ing over all the other members. Young
men sent money home to bring their sweet
hearts. Passage money was often advanced
by the earlier immigrants to those who came
later. Many OF these Danes have revisited
their fatherland, and when they come back
to their Western farms they usually bring
one or two future citizens with them. The
best advertising our country gets among the
peasantry of Europe is certainly the reports
of the thrifty immigrants who settle here.

Paris held another great exposition in

Pan-American Fair at Buffalo cost the

Already s8,47s,O0O has been contributed
toward the ST. Louis exposition, which
is collecting admission fees, although
it will not be complete until next year.
In aid OF the Paris expositions the
Government has spent nearly a tenth
of all the money that has been appro-

the expositions in this country have
received as large an appropriation from
the national legislature as did the Paris
exposition of 1900. Most Of them were
