July last our exports OF manufactures
amounted to S40.O0O.0O0. against S31.-
100000 of agricultural products During

nearly x42.O0O.00O. against x37 100000

the exports of manufactures have ex-

There Is no better criterion Of general
prosperity than the postal business.
When times are good the postal revenue
increases, and vice versa. The report OF
the Postmaster General shows that for
the year ending July 1. 1895, the receipts
from postal revenue were $40, 900.
For the year ending July I, 1907, they
were $119.9oS.229. an increase OF 81 per
cent during seven years OF continuous
Republican rule. During the year endins
July !, 1905, the receipts from the money
order business were &S12.03S; for ths
year ending July !. 1902. they were 81.

great promoter OF trade known as swift
and regular transportation.
The complement of this transportation
is steady and reliable flow of freight.
Here irrigation comes into play. lrri-
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. He who fails to see
this should. seek new perspective.
To the ordinary man the term Asiatic
trade lacks special significance. He
knows it 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 Asintics. and that
this trade is really the greatest commer-
cial prize of the day. He does not realize
that this trade may be the making of his
own trade. calling or business.
Your Personal Interest.
Farmers, ranchers, miners. lumbermen,
merchants, laborers of the West, do not
vote against your own interests. that OF
your family; and yours and their future.
Vote for Roosevelt and Fairbanks. They
have brought you glad tidings in the ma
tional irrigation act. Its workings have
already begun. Under its operation there
will be tendency to balance interests
and thus help In powerful way to keep
the government steady. 1t will settle the
beef question, every acre irrigated would
produce more than thirty times as much
as Is now produced on any of our wild
arid lands. 1t will produce new towns
of moderate size, where all the vocations
Of trade. of learning, literature and re-
ligion will flourish. 1t will change the
face of the earth. 1t will change the
face of the sky. 1t will modify the at
mosphere. 1t will change the climate.
It will give life, health, joy and pros
perity to the people.
Work for Republican Party.
When we come to contemplate the
whole field OF natural western re-
sources, available for food. for industry
and for commerce, when we attempt to
grasp in one act of thought the length
and breadth and depth OF the riches with
which Providence has loaded this sec
ton; when we try to realize how every
possible want, every material aspiration
OF man can be bountifully provided for;
when we consider how measureiess 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
tion and its chosen rulers. This Is not
merely to preserve nnharmed the price
less boom OF civil liberty which leaves
the individual citizen free to do his share
in work OF development. but to adopt
such measures ms will prevent the waste
OF natural resources, clear the way OF
progress and promote the triumph OF civ
iization. The record OF the Republican
party shows 1t to be n party of progress.
