VertlOle into them. They nave not done so; they will not do SO, under any neces- sity less pressing than that of desperate war.
 THE PUBLIC LANDS. The strength of the Republican party is increased by the multiplication of landhOlders. Our laws should look to the IudlciOus encouragement of actual settlers on the public domain. While 1t should hencefOrth be held as sacred [ trust for the benefit of those seeking homes, the tendency to consolidate large tracts of land in the ownership of indi- viduals or corporations should with proper regard to vested rights be dis eOuraged.
 OUR SHIPPING INTERESTS. Among our national interests one lan- guishes-the foreign carrying trade. It was seriously crippled in cur civil war, and another blow was gwen to it in the general substitution of steam for sail in ocean traffic. A law just enacted re- moves some of the burdens upon our navigation and inspires the hope that this great interest may at last receive it's due share of attention. All efforts In this direction should receive encourage l ment.
 sACREDNESs OF THE BALLOT. A survey of our condition as a nation reminds us that material prosperity IS but a mOckery fl it does not tend tO pre- serve the liberty of the people. A free ballot Is the safeguard of republican in- stitutiODs, withrut which no national welfare Is assured. He who cOrrupts | suffrage strikes at the very root of free government.
 CONCLUsION.
 Concluding. he says: IL is a good land, whi, h the Lord our God doth give us, but we can maintain our heritage only by guarding with vigilance the source of popular power.
