Menace OF Privilege, as he says in his
preface, Strives to show, In brief. sug-

incorporation powers and immunities.' "
The cure suggested for the first two Of
these is shifting Of the entire weight Of
taxation from production to land values.

over by the government. These changes

The book comes at time when the
public mind is ripe for the consideration
Of remedies for the ills of the state, but
it is too radical and too untried to affect
immediately and deeply the slowly NOV
ing public. It is likely, however, to add
force to the present demand for relief,
and by so much to aid good cause.

Maxim Gorky's Mission.

Much as the American, people admire
Che, ardent patriotism of Maxim Gorky
they question the sanity of his present
proceedings. The Russian people have
made great progress in the past year.
They have wrung from the autocracy
important concessions. The GEAR has
promised to share the government with
his people. He hasacalled a parliament

representatives to the aeuma- Mhich

to the Russian people to- show their
capacity fol. legislating befores further
calls are made on the sympathy or sup
port Of the world. AS to raising money
to overthrow the government, which is
Gorky's avowed purpose, it seems a
non. sequitur when the government is
being turned over to the people.
Mr.. Gorky may not believe the prom
Uses of the car; he may have no faith
in the good intentions Of the govern

necessarily of that opinion. They are
hopeful of the outcome in Russia. They
believe in giving the czar and his

the principal American nations with
which we do business, with STAG, 900 900
for the fiscal year 1905. Brazil is third,
with Sill 100000, and Mexico fourth,
with $92,O00,00o.
Tt will surprise some people to read
that our trade with Cuba is larger than
cur trade with Mexico. Our imports
from Cuba during the past year we're
$95,857 1856, against $16,2 900 in 1897,
when our trade with Cuba was at its
lowest point. Our exports to Cuba for
| 1905 amounted to $44, 500, 812, as against
81, 100000 in 1896, the smallest amount
of exports within the last half cen
fury. While the imports are more than
double the exports, the imports are not
increasing nearly as rapidly. The in
crease in imports for 1905 over 1908
was about 80 per cent, while the in
crease in exports for the same period
was practically 100 per cent. The lar
gest single item in our exports is -four,
which !. amounted to- three and a half
million dollars in 1905. !.
The statistics show, however, a re-
markable development Of trade in a
great variety Of articles, some Of which

Of lines as that country continues to
develop industrially. While the sugar
producers have not suffered materially
from reduction Of 20 per cent in
the duty on sugar imported from Cuba,
because Cuba is able to furnish us only
a small part of what we consume, our
trade in other lines with Cuba IS grow
ing SO rapidly as to Justify this reduc-
ton of the sugar duty.
Undoubtedly like results would sfol-

Some Of our northwestern wheat grow

procity with Canada as the beet sugar
men were about reciprocity with Cuba,
but with less occasion for it,.
Cuba cannot fix the price Of sugar
owing to her relatively small produc-
ton; much less can Canada fix the price

CHAMPAGNE A STANDARD OF
CHEAP sPRETENSE.-The folly of try
ing to live up to standards Of those richer
than ourselves, who spend their money
lavishly on useless and often harmful
luxuries, has been admirably shown in a
book by. one who has evidently seen the
futility and evils Of the effort. This is
Mrs John Lane. Her book bears the
title, The Champagne Standard, and is a
spark1ingly incisive argument against what
has grown to be the great national folly
of Americans and is also peImeating
England. The book should be read by
everyone Interested in domestic and social
economy, every prospective bride and
every prospective bridegroom, and by
every matron or patron who is not beyond
redemption from the champagne stand ,

been quick to seize upon the firing of the
Russian Baltic feet upon the British

coupled with romance. According to the
story, a young Englishman stumbles upon
information showing an alliance between

Vast Scope Of Drainage Work.

= y
The Duluth i Herald complains be.
cause so much state land is allowed to
be left unsold in st. Louis county. That
is shardly4the fault Of state authorities.
There were $4,000 acres listed for sale
at the Duluth auction last. nday,, ]: and
only a: little over 5000 acres were
taken.
4 1t is quite true that the land unsold
is a. drag on the progress Of the rural
districts, but it cannot be sold until
some one wants to buy it. Much,of the
land will be improvedsby drainage; and
the policysof the state is increasing in
toward this undeveloped land.
The work lying ahead is tremendous,
however, and cannot be done in a sum
mer, or in ton summers. On the esti-
mate Of the state drainage engineer,
George A., Ralph, there are 100000
acres Of state land needing drainage
bitches, which will cost in; round. mum.
bers 100000, to say nothing Of the
smaller or lateral bitches. An expendi-
ture Of 100000 year, which is. four
times as great as the present appropria-
tion, would be liberal for the purpose.
At that rate the work of reclaiming all
state swamp lands would take thirty
years. The work is well worth doing,
and will bring returns several times
over the money invested but it: iss a
work for a generation. To sell these
lands in their present state would be
wasteful and miserable business policy
They: would not bring the SIS an acre
which is the minimum fixed by. law, and
no sane legislature is going to reduce
that minimum.
