Republican policy has not caused
the rain or the sunshine, says the Ia
coma Ledger, but il has supplied and
protected the market OPEN 10 the
things the rain and the sunshine have
brought forth. Nature has given the
land, with all Its latent possibilities,
but the land would be going TO waste
if there were no marts for that Ii
yields. Industry has been stimulated
from the certainty that its effects
would not be for naught. A glance
back at the times of the early nine
ties will recall TO mind that even then
the acres were as fruitful, and the
hand of toll as calloused by honest en-
deavor. There was the rain and the
sunshine. Harvest followed seed time
vet the looms were silent because
none had the means to purchase To
gather the crops was futile, for none
would buy. The country was poor be-
cause of the artificial and unwhole-
some financial atmosphere, and this
atmosphere was the expression of
Democratic faith put into works.

those who are interested in making

The republican party started as a

Yarmouth, a Nova Scotia town,-Sot
a little excited, Saturday, because the
United States counsel wanted every
body to join him in n monster celebra-
ton of the glorious Fourth. The peo-
pie did not object to a private celebra-
ton by the counsel or the Americans
in the place and were glad to see them
have a good time, but they thought it
wes crowding the nourners little to
ask everybody to fly the American flag
and set off fireworks. We can hardly
blame them, and have no doubt that
they made less OF fuss than most
American cities would make If a Brit
ish counsul should urge the general
celebration OF a British holiday. The
American consul was evidently a little
hasty and indiscreet. The line between
this country and the British possess
sions Is only visible on the map, burt it
is real enough so that the Fourth is
not viewed in exactly the same light
on both sides.

The formal opening of the new
Pacific cable, built by American enter
prise and American money, and UNI
der the direct control of our govern
ment, was a notable event and it was
very fitting that it should occur on
July Fourth. 1t is well said that the
commerce. the diplomacy and the mill
tary strength of our country are all
given a vast asset by the completion Of
this cable. Such n cable was most
earnestly advocated by President Nc
Kinley and his attitude has been that
of President Roosevelt. The work of
laying it under the thousands of miles
of the Pacific was of great magnitude,
but 1t has been successfully completed
within the time hoped for, and the re-
suit brings Hawaii, Guam, and the
Philippines within a moments call of
the government at Washington and the
commercial centers of New York.
