The complement of this transportation
is steady and reliable flow of freight.
Here irrigation comes into play. Irri-
CATION insures regular crops and there
fore a fixed volume of freight: even as
a reliable transportation insures regular
trade. These phases of national life are
part and parcel of the evolutionary pro-
cess that has made the United States the
trade leader of the world. The activi-
ties of the country are rising to the new
economic standard. lie who fails TO see
this should seek new perspective.
To the ordinary man the term Asiatic
trade lacks special Significance. He
knows II relates to trade with Asia,
and that we are constantly exporting to
and importing from Asia. He does not
realize that all the leading countries of
the earth are competing for the trade OF
several hundred million Asiatics. and that
this trade is really the greatest CONNER
cial prize of the day. He does not realize
that this trade may be the making of his
own trade. calling or business.

When we come to contemplate the

grasp in one act of thought the length

which Providence has loaded this Sec

possible want. every material aspiration
of man can be beautifully provided for;
when we consider how measureless are
the values which will spring into being
at the touch OF modern industry. and
how these values. when once created,
are solid and real and become incorpo-
rated into the enduring structure of hu-
| man society, We may begin to es-
innate properly the measure of re-
sponsibility which rests upon this ma

merely to preserve unframed the price

party shows it to be party of progress.

Not the Only Important Oue.tio,

aumitung that the gold standard is sir

though he did not help fix 1t, that is only
one OF many important financial ques-

financial matters. The question of the
preservation and extension of our sys-
TEN of banking and currency; the refund
ing of our national debt as 1t may. from
time to time, become due, and many 9TH
err questions OF like Importance NAV
arise. To place the settlement of these
questions in unfriendly hands might re-
suit in such a disturbance of business as
would shock the whole country.

In every national campaign for forty
years past the Republican party has
stood upon its record of things done, of
laws enacted. of policies esta blished un-
der which the country has progressed
and prospered. The record of the DEM
ocratic party made In two administra-
tons was so full of disaster. of CONNER
cial shipwreck, OF industrial paralysis
and business failures that its chief bust
ness in recent years has been to get as
far away from its record as possible

we have right to assume that he might,
