A SECOND AMERICA.
Apstralians Spend as Much Money as
 Any People on the Earth,

Any People on the Earth.
 The Australians are the nearest like Americans of any people on earth, writes Frank G. Carpenter. They have the same wants, and, more than that, they have the money to satisfy them. They have more than $150,000,000 in their savings banks alone. In New Zealand every family annually takes S25 worth of American goods and in the province of New South Wales, the greatest of the Australian States, the sales of our goods amount on the average to $50 per family. The peo- pie spend about as much money as any people on the face of the globe. The minimum wage in many parts of the country is $1.7C a day, and in others it is $2 day and over. The wages of mechanics are high, and, all together, the people are as well paid as any on earth. In addition to this, the continent is run on the eight-hour basis. The people have plenty of leisure and many holidays, during which they spend money, and, as a result, they have q foreign trade of enormous proportions in comparison to the population. This trade amounts to about $S00,000,000 year, and that for a people who number just about 5,000,000
 The single State of New South Wales is now importing foreign goods to the amount of $134,O00,000.
 Victoria is buying almost $90,000,- GOO. New Zealand $50,00O,0O0, and the little island of Tasmania $10,000,00O.
 Western Australia annually con- sumes foreign goods to the amount of $39,000,0O0, South Australia $40000,- GOO, and Queensland, the wild west of Northern Australia, is paying for for eign goods $34,00O,000 per year.
 All these countries are selling more than they are buying. They are laying up money as well as spending it, and are getting richer and richer every year.
 Australia is a second America. Busi- ness is done there in about the same way as at home, everyone speaks Eng fish, and special favors are given to commercial travellers.
 In all the larger cities of Australia and New Zealand you will find some Americans. Melbourne especially has many, whose fathers voyaged from San Francisco when gold was first discovered.
 Some of them made fortunes. They engaged in business, and to-day Mel bourne is called the Yankee city of Australia.

Isl tschass" is Russian expression
which means that time is cheap and
things will come by and by. The
Muscovite is not built on the strenuous
order. He gets around to his Office at
nine in the morning and leaves at
three in the afternoon and when it
comes to dispatching mail at long dis
lance the slowest trains are always
used. For the last quarter of a cen
fury the duma or city council of St.
Petersburg: has been trying to get a
start on a system of drainage canals
for the city, but as yet little has been
accomplished. But then it will come
in time. This may account for some
of the delay of the Russians in the
present war with Japan. The Rus
slams have not woke up yet and what
seems to be fact, it doesn't look as
if they were going to wake up.

At a memorial meeting in honor. of
Peter Cooper, founder of the Cooper
Union in New York city, Andrew Car
neige delivered an address in which
he said: ''It is not to the millions, or
by the millions. that the greatest ad-
vances are won. 1t is to the individ-
ual that we owe the divine impulse.
The distribution of wealth is the great
est problem of the age. No revolution
ever did much or any good in this
world; no true evolution ever failed
to do anything but good. I would not
wish to be understood as putting down
life as a mere pursuit of money. I
think that man who has entered any
profession is working for the advance
ment of the race. The successful cap
tain of industry is not Of that low type
who seeks the boarding of dollars as
his life work. The money which
reaches beyond his wants he seeks to
find use for in the lettering of others. -

The defeat of Editor Pease at the
Duluth convention has naturally
enough inspired some editorials Of
coincidence that have appeared in
many Eighth district papers. It is all
very natural and shows a true spirit
of journalistic brotherhood, but when
all the facts in the case are known the
comments are somewhat different. The
Uni n. made some comments on the
Pease episode two weeks ago and gave
a frank statement of the case and
wishes to state that there was no I'M
demanded or unfair tactics adopted
at all in the Duluth convention to de-
feat Mr.. Pease. The truth of the
whole matter is he placed his friends
in very embarrassing position; even
his own delegation that was loyal to
him could realize that from the start
Mr.. Pease had very little show. The
Anoka man is old enough by this time
to realize that honors like the Duluth
convention conferred never go begging
and there were several aspirants for
those honors and they were not back
ward about asking for them as Mr..
Pease was. Is he SO great and popu-
lar that his mere word spoken at ram
dom should take precedence over other
mems wishes and aspirations. His
long and honorable service as an
editor might have entitled him to an
election as one of the district delegates
but he presumed too much altogether.
AS the Milaca Times says:
If Editor Pease had used as
much energy before the convention
as he is now wasting in cussing it's
results he might have been a dele
gate to the National Republican
convention.
Another comment that Mr.. Pease
might read with some profit is the fol-
lowing from the Alexandria Post
News:
There are few publishers in the
State possessing as many warm
personal friends as Bro. Pease, of g.
the Anoka Union, and they regret
his bitter disappointment of last
week, in failing to secure a dele
gates place in the national con-
vention. They will also regret his
bitter resentment of that defeat.

The Minnesota branch of the Ma
tional Farmers Exchange seems to be
making some progress towards getting
things in shape for the handling and
marketing of farmers grain and live
stock. The president of the Minnesota
exchange says that the exchange will
build fully a hundred farmers eleva-
tors in this State the coming year
which will make the total number of
farmers elevators in the State 24O.
Nealy all the $780, 900 capital has been
subscribed. Where farmers have ex-
ercised business care and Judgment in
the erection of elevators and ware
houses throughout the country they
have been successful in combating the
competition of the ''line' trusts FOR
they are nothing else but combines and
trusts with ''ring" prices and all that
goes to make quiet little deal for the
gentlemen who control such business
enterprises. Wherever the farmers
get a good hold and hang together
they soon receive due recognition, but
it is a big fight they have on their
hands at the present time though not
wholly without successful solution.
With the farmers and the stockmen of
the country fully aroused as to condi-
tions there is bound to be something
doing sooner or later and it is pretty
apt to be sooner. Just as soon as the
farmers and stockmen of the country
get into the practical business ways
look out for revolution in the
affairs of commerce.
