all others are relatively insignificant.
The manner in which our taxes are
levied, the amount Of funds collected
from the public, the disposition made
of these funds, all these things are
important and of interest to every
citizen, but innumerable blunders may
be made in reference to all Of these
matters without affecting the vitality
Of the state. But, if the state is to
exist and to continue as q reputable
member Of the American nation, there
must be re-established in It a system
OF government which recognizes only
citizenship as the basis of political ac-
tion, which recognizes neither class
nor faction. and under which the
masses Of tho people, acting accord
ing to their own independent judg-
ment, shall be able at all times con-
veniently and effectively to determine
what course shall be pursued in rela-
ton to any subject which they consid-
er important.
This is the REAL problem in North
Dakota. 1t is distinctively political
problem, and it will be serious mis-
take for, the people Of the state to rec
ognize any other problem as OF equal
importance with it. When this prob.
lem is solved. and solved properly, the
industrial and economic problems car

FIFTY NEW NATIONS.

The business world at the begin
ming of 1890 finds itself confronted
with fifty new political divisions
with newly defined areas new ethnic
groupings Of population, and there
fore with new industrial and COM
mercial activities, new forms Of gov
ernment, new political managers and
lawmakers, new forms Of currency,
and new relations to world commerce.
industry and finance.
\ Thirty of these new political divi-
sions have declared themselves as re-
publics; certain others as Kingdoms
or under the direct control Of local
rulers; otherus classified as colonies,
protectoratcs. and dependencies"
have passed under new political con-
troll: and still others are awaiting
anxiously the determination as to the
political power which is to exercise
tho mandate" under which their po-
htical andA industrial future is to be
developed. OF these fifty new dfvi-
sions, thirty occupy that formerly
great industrial and commercial area,
Central Europe, and the remainder
are scattered over Africa, Asia, and
tho islands of the Pacific. They ag9re-
gate one-fifth Of the land area and
have one-fifth Of the population OF
the globe. and their imports and ex-
ports formed one-fifth of the total lin
ternational trade Immediately preced-
ing the war. Twenty Of these new
republics have been established upon
a territory formerly that of a single
empire, Russia; dozen others have
been created from sections Of three
other empires, Germany, Austria
Hungary, and Turkey; and the re-
mainder, which Is practically q score
in number, represents pre-war ''col-
onies, protectorates or dependencies
Of Germany and Turkey respectively.
Most Of these new political divisions
lie within the interior of Europe, sep
arated by long distances from the
ocean; their railroads disorganized;
their currency in state OF extreme
disorder; their population unaccus-
toned to the new form of govern
ment; their legislators inexperienced
in national and international affairs
