If there was anything that was necessary to complete the awakening of the people of northern Minnesota to the fact if their importance in the state, it has been furnished in the astounding declaratiou of the St. Peter Free Press—St. Peter the 2 southern home of Governor Jubngon-- that state development was an issue in the recent campaign and that as the man who first raised the cry of state development was defeated for electioa as governor there will be no urther ca ment. The Free Press ought to be buried—It is dead and stinketh. Northern Minnesota now realizes that it is the richest part of the state. itis beginning to appreciate its possible importance and it will from now on most vigorously demand that its resources be developed and its importance recognized by conced- jual politicial representation laws and the financial assist» ance necessary for its growth. The campign for drain good roada, refcrestration. the sale and settle- ment of state lands must be pushed vigorously by the state, and to make sure that the state dose its duty in these respects fully and completely and persistenuly northern Minnesota deman that it be accorded that jolitical representation which is its right.

This country is swimming up to its ears ina joyvus bath of prosperity. The census bureau has lately put out an estimate showing this country’s wealth to have been $106,881,415,009 in 1904, an increase of 21 per cent over 1900 and of 64 per cent over 1890, when our total wealth was $65,037,- 091,197. This imperial total 1s divided into such sitems as these: Real property, 177,246.600: lives stuck, $5,0 equipment, ri and produc $7.409, 000: furniture, ete., $5,760,000,000: manufac machinery, ete., € 90: coin and bullion, #2,002, 000; cloth- ing $2,500,000,000. This mak average of over $1;300 for every man, of manvfacturers carriages, 2 woman and child of our more than, Amazing prosper- | Have! 80.000,000 people. ity! Wonderful prosperity! youfgot your share? average family of tive, do your- joint possessions amount to over $6,5 Of course they don’t if you are the average person, You cuuld hardly have that much, when a few men have hundreds of millions apiece, | when many men count their wealth in eight figures, and when millionaires and multi-millionaires are plentiful in New York ani Pittsburg, most of them created by trust, traiff or rebate. But don’t blame them for taking a)l they can get. Thatis the habit of some men, and you might have done the same thing yourself if you had had the chance. You will have to blame, yourself for giving them the chance to make such for- tunes. in these times of prolific and splendid prosperity? Figures from tne same source show that in 1890 the average wage in manufacturing was $418.88 | per year, or $1.39 per day, and that in 1900 this had dropped to a year or $1.99 per day, This is a decrease of Tper cent in wages in ten years. At the same time the same ce of information shows an} average increase of 6 per cent in the, cost of living.- Thus the workman of 1900 got 93 cents where in 1890 he gota dollar, and his dollar in 1890] was ouly good for 94 cents ia keeping him alive in 1900. Again from the Same source, the average value of| the wage-earner’s product increased 10 per cent in 1900 over 1890. We} are rolling in wealth, but it is not| being distributed fair and accord- | sou ing to these figures it is becoming | more unfair all the time, Don’t you think it is time for a change?—Du- | luth Herald.
