STOCK.OWNER.


"f the United States have cost more
than the houses, cities includcd more
than ships, boats aud VI ssels of every
desert ptinn which sail the oceans lakes and
rivers m0rc than our manufactures of all
any one class OF property, aside from real cs
t'te except it may be tho railroad Of our
country.
In an article on this subject, the Peoples
J0arndt says that the first cost of fences in
New York between one hundred and fifty
und two hundred millions of dollars Assum
ing this to he approximately correct, and csti
mating the first cost of fences 10 other Stntes
on the same basis, we have as the total first
expense of the fences of the country the vast
sum ofSl ,29S,000.000 This will require
to be renewed at least once in ten years,
and this gives an annual expense Of $780,
600, with q very large sum to be ad.
ded for repairs constantly needed. This
makes up very formidable aggregate.
In Europe, where very few fences are
found, thcrc is no Inconvenience felt by the
people. In France, Germany and Holland
farmers hold their land 10 common, with only
narrow paths between. There the annual
tax our people have to submit to of $3.50 on
every acre Of improved lnud, the cost Of fenc-
ing, is not known. Here the fence tax is a
great deal moro than the aggregate of State
and local taxes
In Missouri and California, tho advocates
of a reform in fencing laws are p,aking vigor-
GUS exertions to accomplish! their purpose,
and every day public opinion is growing
stronger in favor of tho change. Here, where
the suggestions arc novel, and the people
have not thought on the question. tho pro
position may be somewhat unpalateable /;
but the time vii! soon come when seIf.inter-
est will force change in opinion and policy.
