In this era of much discussion in re-
gard to road making it is important to
know what constitutes a real mac
adamized road 1t is thus described
in an able article from the pen of John
Patterson, published in the Platteville
News:
Mr.. McAdam, when called before a
committee of the British house of
commons, in 1919, and again in 1928,
and subjected to rigid inquiry as to
his theory OF road making, stated to
that committee that the first and most
important principle of his theory was
to keep the water off the road-bed.
The next of Importance was to under
stand that the native soil had to carry
or bear up, both the weight Of the
stone roads and the loads to DE hauled
thereon. The first step to be taken in
the preparation of the bed for the
stone covering was to grade the native
soil, giving it a convexity of one in
thirty-six, or one inch to the yard.
This has been deemed sufficient con-
vexity to keep clear Of water in coun-
tries where the annual rainfall is
double that of Wisconsin, greater
convexity than this forcing the traffic
to the center of the road, thus causing
an uneven distribution of weight, in
time resulting in what is termed grid
ironing, rutting, or breaking the face
of the so-called McAdam. The next
thing of Importance in the McAdam
system is that no stone shall be used
in any part of the road greater than
six ounces in weight. Indeed, so par
ticular was Mr.. McAdam in this mat
ter, that all his supervisors were pro-
vided with pair of scales aud a six
ounce weight, and were instructed to
reject all stone over that weight.

About Water Transportation.

Census bulletin No. 179 relates to
Transportation by water in the United
States" This statement of the subject
as is employed in transportation
within the limits of the United States
is included. But the first set of tables
purports to show the number, tonnage
and value .'of all vessels" including
unrigged craft, Registered in all parts
of the United States" Jan. l, 1890. The
number is stated,at 25, $40. the capacity
at 1858, GO tons and the value at S215,-
O69, 900. The quantity of freight
moved during the calendar year 1889 is
stated at 172, 10, 423 tons of commodi-
ties of all kinds, the number of persons
of all classes employed at LOG, 1876, and the
wages paid $40, SOC, 3D5. 1t is not stated
what proportion of the total tonnage
was employed in the foreign trade.
The records of the bureau of naviga-
ton, however, show that the tonnage
so employed June 80, 1889, was 900, 61e
tons, and year later $3.50 tons. 1t
would appear, therefore, that about
one-eighth of the total tonnage was in
the foreign trade. The foreign tom
mage engaged in the oversee trade
with this country is not stated in the
tables now at hand, but the foreign
tonnage entered at American ports is
lean tonnage entered, and the capacity
of the vessels employed is probably in
about the same proportions.

IL Makes La Rich

Eight months of the fiscal year have
passed since the Mckinley bill went
into " complete operation, tin plate
clause and all. In the eight months of
1890 Immediately preceding the enact
ment of the Mckinley bill ON Oct. l.,
we should have exported much more,
according to the free 3trade shriekers,
than we are now doing. for, they say,
''If you do not buy you cannot sell, :"
and importers were importing an extra
supply OF every thing in anticipation of
the passage of the bill. Yet in the
eight months before the Mckinley bill
we exported only $493, sci, sos, and in
the eight months since the tin plate
duty went into effect we have exported

In other words we have doubled
(nearly) the amount we have paid to
foreigners, or sent out of the country
for foreign investment. If this is
good thing, why not export all our
wealth to Europe? If exporting makes
Us rich, why is it we do not export
more?

The Republicans and the School Issue

L
The republican leaders in Wiscon-
sin and Illinois have though it wise to
back water on the educational issue
in their respective state conventions
rather vigorously of late. The Ger
man Lutheran vote is that which they
are trying to recapture and hold. In
Illinois if we may take the Official &C
ton of certain Lutheran bodies as ia
dictative of the outcome, they have
wholly failed. The Lutherans saw
that they will support the democratic
party this fall.
In Wisconsin the chieftairs have
beat the record in platform making.
They declare the white of Yesterday to
be black today, and put "cursed- be-

who still think that they were right
two years ago. 1t is quite likely that

the two. Competition is impossible.
The foreign mill products with which
the American farm labor is paid, and
which by exchange become the final
product of the American mill labor,
cannot enter into competition with
farm labor. They enter only into com

The only way that foreign mil

The apportionment of the income
of the school fund, just made by State
Supt Wells gives to Iowa county,
which under the census of 1891 had
8,lO9 children of school ages, the sum
OF $2.675,95. The state school money
apportioned at this time is solely
derived from the invested funds. BY
far the greater portion of these funds
Is represented by the certificates of the
amount in which the state is debtor to
them. The income from this source
Is obtained by the levy and collection
of an annual tax upon the property of
the state. The remainder Of the income
accrues from the funds invested in
city bonds, etc.
By operation of chapter $50, laws of
1891, the | mill tax is now apportioned
by itself on Nov. | of each year, which
IS in advance of its levy and collection.
The mill tax for the current year was
apportioned last November and was
collected and paid over TO the several
school district treasurers, simultane-
ously with the county school money.
This tax amounted to $1,024 per
capita of school population. The in
come, now apportioned amounts to
.33 per capita. The combined rate
of state school money for the present
year is 1851 per capita.
The entire amount of money appor-
toned by the state superintendent for
school purposes is S624,650.24 This is
the largest amount of state school
money that has ever been apportioned
during any one year, being S51,171.O9,
in excess of the sum apportioned for
the year ending June 30, 1890. A
large part of the increase results from
the fact that the commissioners keep
the entire funds invested instead of on
deposit in banks, whereby the interest
on the same becomes part of the in
come and goes to the support of the
schools. Formerly the state treasurers
kept large amounts of these funds on
deposit in banks upon which they
realized princely sums for their private
use.

The airy disregard of protection Or
gans for cold truth and exact facts is
| illustrated in the current remark that
the Mckinley tariff lowered many
duties and took off many, but it also
raised some and made them strong for
| protection Who could guess from
this the truth that the Mckinley tariff
raised the average and the great major
ity of duties in every schedule save
two; that of 300 articles or classes
yielding more than so per cent. of the
revenue from customs the law In
creased the duty on 235, left it un-
changed on fifty and reduced it on
only fifteen? For the first time in the
history of civilized governments an act
was constructed upon the avowed the
DRY of reducing revenues by increasing
taxes. 1t was meant to shut out for
eign goods and thus to give monopoly
to favored home producers by raising
the duties to point which would pro-
hibit or greatly diminish importations.
It it has failed in doing this at any
point, by so much has it failed to &C
complish its purpose. And wherein 1t
has not failed the people are taxed
higher than they were before.
Among the domestic products upon
which the Mckinley law smiled most
sweetly was plush. It's production in
this country was to be greatly encour-
aged, and Notwithstanding Mr.. McKin-
ley's late, too late, assertion that it
was not the purpose of his bill to in
crease wages, the makers of plush were
profuse in their promises. Up in
Bridgeport there is a plush factory and
the employees are on a strike. They
say that they were induced to come to
this country by the assurance that they
would receive SIS a week at least.
They have not received that sum
or anything like it. They say
they have not even received fair treat
ment and that the company is con-
stantly importing hands and thus in
creasing competition and reducing
wages. Recently the superintendent
of the Bridgeport factory addressed
the complaining operatives and bru-
tally told them that they were extrav-
agant; that their wages would be
sufficient if they would live on $3.50 a
week, and other things to the same
effect. He had no excuse to offer for
the company's breach of faith. The
love of true McKinleyite for wage
Garner lasts only SO long as there is
vote to ret.
