The Real Economic Movement.


THE last century was the worst
in the worlds history of wars. ]
look to see this century bring the
greatest conflict ever waged in she
world. II viii be war for the mar
kets. God grant there may be no
blood she'd"
Thus Secretary Shaw in a speech
in Chicago. The Secretary is of
the sturdy old economic school that
sights a tremendous calamity if the
nation can't sell more than il huys
As it is obvious that all the nations
cannot possibly do this, the doc
trine means that because the world.
as a whole, is producing too much
it is going to be forced upon a
crisis in which a too ample album
dance viii cause disaster.
Ii is fashionable with thinkers of
this kind to insist that the struggle
for markets viii dwarf every other
commercial activity, and over
shadow every other economic ten
dency. Yet these people should
know, if they would look around
them with seeing eyes, that they are
mistaken. The struggle of this
century is struggle for equitable
distribution of the increasing prod
uct of their industry. 1t is going
on in every country.
Foreign trade is not what people
are most worried about. The new
economic view is rather that the
home market can consume, and has
a moral right TO consume, n guam
tity equal to that produced at home
industry. Distributed with any re-
gard TO the needs and consuming
capacities of all the people, the
home production would be consumed
at home. There is no need of a sur
plus; there is no increase. in ma
tional wealth as a result of sending
away more than is brought in. In
dustry produces in order that the
community may consume and enjoy
the product, not in order that sta
tistical tables may be made to show
favorable balance of trade.
1t is not true that the twentieth
century's IS to be a mere struggle for
markets. II that were true, the
twentieth century, though the
wisest and richest, would be marked
by the ruin of half the world-the
half that was destined to lose in
this fight for markets.
The twentieth century is going TO
concern itself about the problem of
making every producer his own mar
ket; of giving him, for his own use,
approximately the same proportion
of industry's products that his eff
fort produces. 1t is going TO strive
for economic Justice, as the eight
zenith and nineteenth strove for
political justice. 1t is to this con-
summation that the liberals, the
progressives. the radicals, or what
ever they may be called. in every
country are now directing their eff
forts. THE square DEAL is what
Mr.. Roosevelt called it, and the name
has stuck.

Palace Of the States.

One Of the unique features of the
Jamestown exposition is the assem-
bling Of the agricultural and horticul-
tural products OF the several states in
one magnificent building. the States
Exhibit Palace. Here state vies with
state in making creditable displays of
mammoth pumpkins. melons. potatoes
and apples until the very air is filed
with the pleasant perfume of the or
chard and farm. Days of pleasure and
profit might be well spent in the courts
and aisles among the beautiful dis
plays of this building.

Oct. q is Michigan day, and on the
22d the international poultry show be-
gins.
Two cities of Indiana will have spe-
cial days at the Jamestown exposition.
The city Of Anderson set aside Oct. 8,
md the mayor issued proclamation
10 that effect. The other special day
IS New Castle day, Oct II. the same
as Indiana day.
While the Indiana visitors to the
Jamestown Tercentennial win no doubt
pay much attention to the magnificent
building and history exhibit their state
has there, some of the time will per-
haPs be devoted to the amusement
and spectacular features with which
this great exposition abounds. The
scenes Of the War Path during the
afternoon and evening are enlivening
and enchanting in the extreme. and
all nationalities jostle each other in
good natured carnival spirit, while the
familiar yet ever strange music lends a
foreign aspect to the surroundings.
Looping the loops. shooting the chutes,
slides for life, aerial stunts by wire
artists, double somersaulting in auto
mobiles from high towers. acrobatic
performances and the like are among
the free open air attractions of the
great fRiryland. while within the IN
closures there are presented some of the
best productions of the kind ever seen.
But the War Path is not all There
are balloons IN the aeronautical con-
course in which the visitor may soar

Government Piers at Jamestov,n,

the United States government late as

forth as the grandest artistic realiza-

magnificent archways studded with
millions of lights and decorations form
an adjunct to the Tercentennial Court

which graced the courts of any pre-
Vious expositions. The jamestown
Tercentennial has emerged from the
chaos of the early days and is now the
beauty spot of America toward which
the tide of humanity is surging with
ever increasing intensity.
