 Reclamation of Arid Lands and Do-
 nestle Development.
 We congratulate our western citizens upon the passing of the law known as the Newiands irrigation act for the ir- rigation and reclamation of the arid lands of the west; a measure framed by a democrat. passed in the senate by a non-partisan vote and passed in the house against the opposition of almost all the republican leaders by vote the majority of which was democratic.
 We call attention to this great demo- cratic measure, broad and comprehen- sive as3it is working automatically throughout all time without further action of congress, until the reclamation is accomplished, reserving the lands re- claimed sor home seekers in small tracts, and rigidly guarding against land monopoly as an evidence of the policy of domestic development corterl- plated by the democratic party, should it be placed in power.
 Isthminn Canal.
 The democracy when entrusted with power will construct the Panama canal speedily, honestly and economically, ], thereby giving to our people what dem ocrats have always contended for--a great inter-oceanic canal furnishing shorter and cheaper lines of transpor- tation and broader and less trammeled trade relations with the other peoples of the world.

 Merchant Marine.
 We denounce the ship subsidy bill recently passed by the United States senate as an iniquitous appropriation tof public funds for private purposes land wasteful, illogical and useless at, I tempt to overcome by subsidy the ob. l lstructions raised by republican legisla. ltion to the growth and development oi American commerce on the sea.

 Pensions and Our Soldiers and Sailor
 The democracy would secure to tn # surviving soldiers and sailors and the dependents generous pensions, not b an arbitrary executive order, but b legislation which a grateful peopl stand ready to enact.
 8i Our soldiers and sailors, who defen with their lives the Constitution an the laws have sacred interest in thei just administration.
