President's Letter to Irrigation Con.

Eres$.
The North Dakota Irrigation Congress,
In session at Mandan, Sept. 81. received
the following letter from President
Roosevelt:
Oyster Bay, n. Y. Sept. i0.-My Dear
Mr' Wiiliams: | hm In receipt Of your let.
Ter OF the 10Th Inst. inviting me to be
present at the North Dakota State Irriga.
tloh congress on the eth Inst and ! wish
II were possible for me to be present, bnt I
regret to say II Is not. During the time of
my presidency there has been no measure
IN which ! have taken n keener interest
than that which started the policy of ma
tinhal nld TO the cause Of Irrigation.
nave felt that TIM use of the rivers and
smaller streams OF the States of the great
plains and Rocky Mountains for Irrigation
was even more important to the future Of
this country than the Improvement Of the
course OF these same rivers, lower down, as
M nid to navigation, and when I became
PRESIDENT one OF the first things to which I
turned my attention was the effort to se-
cure the passage Of the law which inaugu-
rated this system

farmer can do the labor of seventy
Cinnamon. AS these conditions change,
IN obedience to economic laws. the Chi
nese farmer becomes our competitor.
The land value will regulate the price
of the product, and no competitor, the
world OYER, can enter the market against
our western prairie. We can place our
foodstuTs in the Oriental market at
prices which will prove less than the
cost of producing them in Asia. and
right here comes the question: With
this future before it, what are the pos
treasure house, the products OF which
VIII, In one year. exceed in value, all the
gold coin since the world began.
Another great advantage for the farm
er is, that unlike the manufacturer who
must educate the Orient in the use Of
his products, there are no prej,ulices to
overcome in the case OF foodstuffs. The
Orientals know their value, and the
market is already made and waiting. 1t
Is one that cannot be taken from US.
Our Personal Duty.
The twentieth century opens for the
United States with its industrial ma
chinery adjusted to the production of
wealth on scale of unprecedented mag.
nitude. In land, in labor, supplemented
by best inventive skill; in wealth-the
three great agents of production, this
country easily leads the world.
Ihe reclamation of the arid West and
the extension OF our Oriental trade are
patriotic questions in which our ma
tional honor, pride and profit are at
stake Whosoever commands the sea
commands the trade; whosoever COM
mands the trade OF the world commands
the riches of the world, and consequent
ly the world itself.
This country has too much at stake to
jcopnrdize such vast interests and pos
sibilities. Every one knows what Roosc
welt has done for the West and where he
stands on tho questions Of Oriental trade.
What has Parker ever done for the
Westf Does he know that such coun-
try exists?

ton.
Mr.. Parker Is probably right in think
ing that IL there was return to Demo-
cratic policies municipalities would is
sue less bonds. They probably could
not, II they would. The reason Is sim.
pie. Democratic victory would again
create depression in the Investment mar
kets, prices of municipal bonds would
go to pieces, municipalities could not
issue such bonds except at exceptional
cost to taxpayers, and they would be fore
cd to the alternative either OF not spend
ing money in furtherance of improve
mcnts commensurate with their growth.
or they would have TO enormously in
crease taxes. and so let present taxpay-
ers pay the entire hill for benefits which
posterity would enjoy.
