The first step toward barbed wire
fence was made about nine wears ago
A farmer living few miles west OF Au-
rora. Kane County, H., finding that his
cattle pushed their heads through the
space. between the strands OF q common
slain wire fence. studied on the problem
Of how TO prevent them. He drove short
nieces of stent wire into fencing spilt
with a saw into pieces only an inch and
n half wide aad hung them to one or
more of the wires that composed the
fence. The plan worked well, and he
had barl,s manufactured in factory that
were sharlpmed at both ends. de put
these barhed attachments on all the wire
fence about his place and they attracted
considerable attention.
Soon asterward he obtained patent
on his invention and commenced to sell
farm, township, and county rights. In
the course of year many naies OF wire
fence in the northern part of thus State
were equipped with these imrbed attach
ments. the only objections to which were
their cost AID their liability to sag and
warp unless they were secured to the
fence-w ire with several pieces OF core
! others wherever it was introduced. A
| least a dozen patents were issued fol
barl,sd fence wire or barbed metallic
fencing Of some sort in the course Of tht
next year. Tin q short time several SUIT
for infringement were brought by thu
proprietors Of these patents, that had be-
come very valuable. In the meantime
large number of machines were inventet
and patented for making barbs or secur
| ing them to wire. In 1874, it is stated
| that ten thousand pounds Of barbe'
ferce.wire we're manufactured in thu
county. This year the total manufac
trre viii probably reach fifty millio
pounds. Almost all railway companie
have adopted it. II il finding its wa

Mr.. Charles Francis ADAMS Jr. puts q
great deal Of truth in q few words rs may
bc seen in the following passage from
his letter to Congressman Page, on the
subject Of y National Railroad Commits
sion /: Congress wants to provide q
commission with powers which cannot
be defined to regulate evils which are
not understood, in field which has not
been explored. such y method Of lcgis-
lation seems to me hasty. Finally it has
been argued that n,ixe.l commission for
inquiry only is what is nov needed. My
objection to this Is, tn t III this coun-
try and in Europe there have already
been quite enough Of these roaming
commissions picking up theories and
listening to experts. What Congress
needs IL guide it, 10 see the matter, is
not more theories or more abstract dis
cussions, hut the positive results Of COM
plants actually made and thoroughly
looked into. Advisory commissions
never deal with c,.sss Of this sort. The
surest way for Congress to arrive Mt de-
sired results will he for it to provide a
commission with full powers to investi-
gate every of complaint"
