The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1893-02-01

JAMES G. BLAINE died in Washing
ton on January 27. This makes
three great Americans who have died
within the last two weeks. Blaine
was born great, Butler achieved
greatness and Hayes had greatness
thrust upon him by republican re-
turning board. It might be added that
the latter did not know what to do
with his greatness after he got it. He
was something similar to Mr.. Hum
phrey of Kansas, while butler was
built more on the LeweIling plan.

The Road Question.

A'"NO wv eAVA&AV0 Se~SMNS A~AAASASG
how it came to pass la these slater
days that there was q simultaneous
call for improvements Of the public roads
on gigantic scale, involving the expen-
ditures Of millions Of money? Is this
movement insugurated by the farmers?
Do they call for stone or gravel roads?
Not as anybody knows of, to any great
extent. 1t is the large towns and cities,
the rich men Of leisure, with money to
loan," who are back OF this. And
strangely, New England is in this road
furore, where the roads are never muddy,
and where little heavy hauling is done
on dirt roads.
The cities and rich men who loan
money are to be the chief benefciaries
Of this work. The expense OF the work,
which will be about $6 per lineal rod, or
5000 10 the average farmer, will be placed
upon the mud. Don't forget this, you
tax-ridden serfs, who still vote for the
plutocrats that have imposed these bur
dens upon US. And the object ls not to
benefit the farmer, nor will it do it. Place
another lien Of 5000 on the farm and how
much have you got left in itP You can
hardly sell it at any price now.
God made clay for country roads; and
take the whole year round they are
better than stone or gravel. We could
not get our logs to the roads across the
fields in muddy time, anyway; then as
to the greater part Of the people who live
off these few stoned roads to the city,
they must put on four horses to go half
the distance to reach the "highway Of
holiness cast up" by the people for the
ransomed of the Lord" from toll and
production of wealth.
There is a big black niger in all this
road business. It is Of piece with all
the Legislation of Shylock for the last
thirty years. Here is the true inward
ness Of the new inspiration for stone
roads. The income Of our protected
industries, of the banks, the railroads,
and the immense syndicates that now
cover most of the business of the country,
is beyond all power Of ordinary figures
to express. This drainage, with interest
to English creditors, sbsorbs all our sur
plus and leaves an unpaid balance yearly
of not less than 85O0OOOO0O. This is
settled by more mortgage, or mortgage
foreclosure.
How to invest the immense incomes Of
the few to whom the toilers of the whole
world pay tribute, is the constant study
Of these men. What they desire above
all else is an interest bond Of the United
States, national or state. They do not
want the responsibility Of legitimate
business. They are leeches; they suck
up the life blood Of all peoples. This
road business is designed to culminste
in an immense bonded debt. It would
not do to impose a direct tax Of $500 on
each farmer; but under the sugar-cost-
ing of bond on long time it is believed
the fool farmer" will swallow the bait.
Task attention to the recent road con-
gress "a good name to start with held in
Indianapolis, Ind. Did the farmers of
Indiana or of the country call this con-
gressp Was a farmer chosen permanent

The fair grounds arc n considerable

They are reached by the railroad on

reached by boats running from mid
