Burke And The Milwaukee.

The people of South Dakota should
read the Congressional Record of May
4, 1910, from page 5000 to 6020. In
these pages of debates are recorded
facts which disclose the true repre-
sentative character Of Congressman
Burke. They picture a strenuous
battle on the floor of the House in
which Mr.. Burke was a central figure
and which resulted in almost a free
gift of valuable town sites, west of
the Missouri river, to the Milwa IKE
railroad. The contest was close and
interesting but Mr.. Burke won his
fight in behalf of the railroad and
lands which the company Tor Harry
Hunter) will sell for perhaps near a
million dollars, were almost given
away and the Indians or the govern
ment thereby defrauded of their just
rights. Amendments we're offered
and earnestly contended for. Some OF
them lost by only four or five votes.
but Burke and the Milwaukee rail-
road always came out on top, with
the aid of their patron saint, Joe Can
non.
The Congressional Record is not
easily In access to all, but the Bulle'
tin hopes that all voters Of South Da-
kota who have the opportunity will
read those pages before the June
primaries. They SO clearly disclose
the real service of Mr.. Burke to the
railroads that there is little wonder
that they cannot dispense with his
services at Washington, and it is

TRADE BALANCE
AGAINST The U. S.
SURPLUS IN OUR FAVOR MORE
THAN OFFSET BY OTHER
FACTORS.

| New York, March 15.-The fact that
our exports for the reven months end
| ing Jan. 81, exceeded our imports by
only $192,000,o00 as against 1894 900 600
for the parallel period in 1908 09 and
$432 100000 for 19O7-0S Is giving no
little concern in the financial district
as to how we are going to meet our
obligations abroad without the exporta-
ton of more gold than can be we'll
spared without disturbing our own
monetary system.
At a glance the fact that we are SELL
ing more than we are buying by some
$325,000000 a year would indicate that
the shoe was on the other foot and
Europe should be worried by the ball
ance. AS matter of fact this ball
ance does not take into consideration
the interest on American securities
held abroad, which runs away up into
the millions, nor does it include the
hundreds of millions we are compelled
to pay for freights and insurance and
the expenditure of American travellers
abroad.
1t lis estimated conservatively tina.
these two items alone will amount up
to $600000,000 at the least, so that in
stead of having a balance of a third of
a billion In our favor, the balance
against us reaches pretty nearly Ii not
quite that figure. In speaking OF the
situation, Vice President John r. Gar
din of the National City bank, an ua-
thority on foreign exchange, says:
The condition of affairs is one that
is well worthy of thought. The popu-
lation of this country Is increasing by
immigration and by births to an ex-
tent that has never been equaled: con-
sequently, the power of consumption
and the standard of living of the peo-
pie are becoming greater and greater,
SO that sooner or later we will find our
selves in the position of consuming the
entire output of our natural resources.
The United States win then be placed
upon the plane of an importing nation
absolutely. What would be the result
of such a condition of affairs?
'Europe's power over the United
States In the possession OF so many
of our securities is almost appalling,
and in times of stress abroad naturally
these will find their way back to this
country and will have to be disposed
of at a price, whic, however, would
affect all other securities. Now, hav-
ing nothing to export other than the
manufactured articles, 1t simply means
that we will have to send over our
gold in liquidation CT our indebtedness.
But where is the gold to come from
Our production annually does not ex-
coed $100,000,000, and IL, within the
next ten years, we would have to liqui-
date a debt of from three to FIVE hun
dred million dolls.rs In money, where is
lit to come from? It possibly may mean
the export Of our manufactured pro-
ducts at greatly reduced prices in COM
petition with the European rnanusac-
tured articles"

Will BE BIG YEAR
FOR Immigration
1910 PROMISES GREAT INFLUX or
SETTLERS TO NORTH DAKOTA
THRoNG HAS sTARTED-coLo-
MIST RATES ATTRACTING
MANY,

The present year gives eloquent
promise OF being the banner season for
immigration to North Dakota. The
colonists rates which have been in eff
feet the past two weeks have disclosed
that many hundreds # people had been
waiting for them. Reports from st.
Paul and the Minnesota Transfer are
that more immigrants bound for North
Dakota pass through those gateways
daily, now, than ever before at this
time Of the year.
1t Is early for the rush. as the snow
lis still on the ground, and more may
be expected, in most of the northern
part OF the state, though spring is
close at hand.
The movement OF immigrants
through Fargo Is of good volume. Many
of these are men who are going to the
ranges to seek employment in the mines
and others are seeking land for homes.
Many of the men who first seek en-
ployment have farms as their final am
billion. There is a good percentage Of
the people who are seeking homes on
North Dakota lands coming from other
parts of the United States.
Ohio and Illinois and states further
east are furnishing numerous new set
tiers. The high prices of all farm pro-
ducts is a great incentive for immi-
grafton. There is more money in farm
ing than in any other occupation to
which vast army of workers can lend
their energies at the same time without
forcing the products below profitable
level. 1t is manifest that the consump-
tion of the farm, and 1t is believed by
many that 1t will be another decade
before, If ever, the good old days of
10 and is cents per dozen eggs and 20
cent butter are duplicated.
North Dakota is expected to acquire
more new settlers this year than in any
previous year in its history
