growth of our wonderful inductrial devel- opment under the demostic policy now firmly established. What we produce be- yond our domestic consumption must have a vent abroad. The excess must be relieved through a foreign outlet, and we should sell everything we can and buy wherever the buying will enlarge our sales and productions and thereby make a greater demand for home labor. The period of exclusiveness is past. Expan- sion of our trade and commerce Is the pressing problem. Commercial wars are unprofitable A policy of good will and friendly trade relations will prevent reprisals. Reciprocity treaties are in har- mony with the spirit of tho time; meas ures of retaliation are not.
 Direct commercial Lines. One of the needs of the times is direct commercial lines from our vast fields of production to the fields of consumption that we have but barely touched. Next in advantage to having the thing to sell is having the convenience to carry 1t to the buyer. We must encourage our mer- chant marine We must have more ships. They must be under the American flag, built and manned and owned by Ameri- cans. These will not only be profitable in a commercial sense, they will be messen- gers of peace and amity wherever they go We must build the isthmian canal, which will unite the two oceans and give a straight line of water communication between the Western coasts of Central and South America and Mexico. The construction of a Pacific cable cannot be longer postponed.
 Gentlemen, let us ever remember that our interests Is in concord, not conflict, and that our real eminence rests in the
 victories of peace, not war. We hope that all who are represented htre may be moved to higher and nobler effort for their own and the worlds good. Our earnest prayer is that God will graciously vouchsafe prosperity, happi- ness and peace to all our neighbors and like blessings to all the peoples and pow CTS of earth

Funeral of Mrs. caIlsta J. Lxnde.

The funeral of Mrs. Calista ]. Lynde
was held at the home of her daugh-
ter, Mrs. H. M. Adams at West Brat
tleboro, on Saturday morning, at IL
o'clock. A simple but beautiful SER
vice was conducted by Mrs. Lynde's
pastor, Rev. Mr.. Shaw of Marlboro, as
sisted by Rev. L. M. Keneston of West
Brattleboro, and the burial was in
Marlboro. Mrs. Lynde's maiden name
was Person, and she was born in
Marlboro in 1928, one of seven children
of Ebenezer and Laura Guild Person.
After her marriage to w. w. Lynde
in 1852, with the exception of two
years, Marlboro was her home until
1878, when she moved to Brattleboro
and again after Mr.. Lynde's death in
1885 she returned to live with her
daughter, until the latter's removal to
this place six years ago. For the last
three years, during which she has
been an invalid, Mrs. Lynde has lived
in West Brattleboro, and the patience
and brave Christian spirit with which
her suffering has been borne has en-
deared her still more to the wide cir
Gle of friends already won by the un-
assuming beauty of her character.
Her loss is an especially severe one
to the only daughter, with whom she
has lived for so many years. Mrs.
IYnde is survived by three brothers
and a sister, Alpha Person, Of Iowa,
who is now in Vermont, Alba Person,
who lives in California, and George
Person and Mrs. Laura Pratt of Dunn
merston.
