ELOQUENCE ON WHEELS pass
ed through Oakland yesterday
morning about nine o'clock. The
aggregation consisted of an engine,
three cars, a brass band and
Messrs. William L. Wilson, John
K. Cowan, Burke Cochran and a
number of retainers. We suppose
that "Eloquence on Wheels meant
the three gentlemen named.
Quite number of people assem-
bled at the depot, but the mellif-
luous strains Of Smiths Military
Band could not even bring the
crowd up to ANYTHING like enthusi-
asm when the train pulled in. At
least half the number present were
Republicans who showed their
loyalty by wearing Wellington
button.
Mr.. Wilson confined MS remarks
almost exclusively to the wool
question and his argument boiled
down resolved itself into this prop
osition, namely; That Australian
wool should be allowed to come
into the American markets free of
duty and those people would take
in exchange therefor agricultural
implements and other kinds 'of
machinery, thereby giving employ
ment to thousands of American
workmen in producing the same.
This would do well to tell some
people, but it won't 60 with intelli-
gent Garrett county citizens, for
they know if Mr.. Wilson does not
that it does not require agricultural
implements and other kinds of
machinery to raise wool, which is
about the only business the people
of Australia are engaged in.
Mr.. John K. Cowan next ap-
peared on the rear of the car. He
confined his remarks to the sugar
industry and dwelt upon the ques-
ton of sugar bounty for our
maple sugar producers. He called
every person drawing money from
the United States Treasury either
robber or pauper and wound up
by saying that the sugar bounty
would never be restored.
Mr.. Bourke Cochran spoke for a
few minutes and his remarks ran
in about the same channel as the
speakers who preceded him.
Taken all in all "Eloquence on
Wheels" was a misnomer.

The Sixth District.

The voters of Garrett county
Want to get the sugar bounty
They are farming maple sugar sweet
And want to see Mr.. Williams beat.
The miners ofAlleghany coal
Want Wellington on the Congressional roll
Free trade robs them of bread and meat
And they want TO see Mr.. Williams beat.
Washington county's factories are closing
And the workmen all are rousing,
The idle mechanics are walking the street
SO hey want to see Mr.. Williams beat.
All around old Frederick Town
The same feeling has rapidly grown
The victory there will be complete
AS they also want to see Mr.. Williams beat.
The Democracy OF old Montgomery
Are firing of all This Tom foolery,
They are very sick of fifty-cent wheat
And are willing to see Mr.. Williams beat.

The Wool Question In Politics

One of the ablest discussions of
the question of the wool tariff we
have ever read was the address of
Judge William Lawrence, president
of the National Wool Growers AS
ISOLATION, before the National
Farmers Congress at Parkersburg,
on the 9Th instant.
The title of Judge Lawrence's
paper was "The Duty of the Ma
lonal Government to Sheep Hus-
bandry." No man IN this country
is better informed on the question
than he, and no man is better
equipped than he to discuss it. He
is regarded as an authority by men
who entertain all views on the ques-
ton of the wool tariff.
In his paper, which Is quite
lengthy, Judge Lawrence says that
free wool reverses a policy which

The School Bonds.

Ever since the agitation of the
question of issuing bonds for school
purposes our columns have been
open and are still open to the dis
cussion of the question.
The coming week is the last OPP
portunity our people will have to
give public expression through this
journal to their feelings IN the
matter, and we hope they will en-
brace the opportunity.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1894-10-25

The Democrat asserted last week
that wool had advanced ten per
cent. since the Wilson bill became
effectlye. This assertion was made
without facts or figures upon which
to base it.
The farmers of Garrett county
know that this statement is not true
and while we admit the Democrat
must have some sort Of foundation
upon which to rest It's lettering
structure of English free trade, yet
we do deny its right to even attempt
to impose upon the good people of
Garrett county by such naked lie.
We effectuallY disposed of the
other branch of its bald assertion
last week that a local dealer was
paying two to three cents more for
wool than before the passage of the
Wilson bill, by our article which
showed that the aforesaid local
dealer had been offered bona file ten
thousand pounds of wool at sixteen
cents per pound, which he declined
to take, so that the conclusion
forces itself irresistibly that the
Democrat lies about the wool ques-
ton as it does about many other
things in this campaign aud that
its local dealers story was put be-
fore the people too early in the
fight,

BY THE COUNTY PLAN.



In recent interview in the Pittsburg
Dispatch State Senator William Finn
of Pennsylvania was enthusiastic over
the English roads and hopeful for better
roads in this country. Referring to a re-
cent trip abroad he said:
What struck me most forcibly? Tho
good roads of England. They haven't
any other kind They have good roads
everywhere, smooth as a floor, only 0 or
12 feet wide, but bordered by hedges
al the way. / didn't see a fence all
through the farming disadvantages
everywhere, and they are big improve
ment over fences in point of beauty.
The good roads of England made me
a disciple of Coxey SO far as securing
them in Pennsylvania is concerned.
won't tramp to Washington. and ! don t
want Coxey bonds, but I'm for good
roads. What l saw ON the other side
caused me to think a great deal about
securing good roads at home.
Heretofore in trying to get road leg
islation the city members have been
holly opposed by the legislators from
their own ideas ON the subject and
voted solidly against change. My plan
is to get up bill which will not affect
the country fellows but will give the
60 ahead counties chance.
1t should be general bill. providing
an entire scheme of building roads in
all parts of the state, but it would be
imperative in counties which were un.
der special or local road laws Then it
would only be necessary to repeal the
local or special laws as to any county
to get the general law into operation in
that county. and no county would need
to repeal It's local laws until it was
ready.
This plan would require the cost OF
roadbuilding to be paid out Of the coun-
ty treasury. No other way is feasible
because the townships are not rich
enough to bear the expense.
BY having it done at the county's ex-
pense the increase in county taxes would
be tritiing. In few years we would
have good roads all over the county.
The benefit would be general Property
all over the county would become much
more valuable, population would be at
tracted to us, the farmers would be en-
abled to get their products to the cities
at all seasons of the year, and many
other benefits would be sure to follow
My idea would be to have the road
building under the charge Of the county
commissioners They would have to es-
tablish department Of roads and place
good experienced man at the head of
it The other details of the plan would
necessarily work themselves out as we
progressed.

Grass at the Roadside.

Nine tenths Of the world judge from
appearances \ country road can be
made wonderfully attractive by proper
attention to its appearance A space of
about three feet III width should be left
between the edge of the road and the
surface of the ditch on each side, This
strip should be cleared of weeds and
sodded or sowed with grass seed. While
not strictly necessary, this Improvement
gives look of prosperity to the coun-
try, makes it attractive and inviting
and adds to the value of surrounding
property In short, it is a good return
for the little labor invested in bringing
it about. Potter Good Roads Library.

ROAD PROGRESS IN NEW JERSEY.


steadily On.
The business of building stone roads
in New Jersey has become a fixed one,
and the state commissioner, Edward
Burroughs, has opened an Office i'll the
statehouse where he will give his I'M
divided attention to the subject of stone
road building. He has practically been
at the head Of the industry for several
wears, but not in the way that he is now.
The new law passed by the Legislature
places him at the head of the road I'M
provements and gives him power to APP
point road supervisors and to make
awards for road building.
The state appropriation amounts TO
$75, 900. The $40, 900 which the state
gives to assist road building will, on an
average, pay the states part for the
building of about SO miles. This is
what was accomplished last year and
what will probably be accomplished this
year
Road building has been going on in
Burlington, Camden and Mercer coun-
ties. What will be given out this year
is not yet known, because both Mercer
and Burlington are building roads, and
1t is not known how much they will
complete within the fiscal year. 1t is
thought that MERGERS share this year
will be about $40, 600, and until these
counties are fixed no appropriation can
be made for next year, as the counties
are TO be considered III the order in
which their petitions We're received,
There are a number of counties wait
ing to get some OF this appropriation.
Atlantic, Gloucester, Morris, Essex,
Union, Somerset and Camden counties
have placed petitions for aid on file, hut
Morris and Essex have withdrawn their
petitions and viii do their road build
ing under the county act This Is he-
cause they cannot wait until it Is their
turn to get part OF the states money,
not understanding at the time that they
would have to take their turn
The state pays one-third of the build
ing Of a road that has been jointly de
cided ON 10y the local freeholders and
the state commissioner The property
owners pay 10 per cent, and the county
must pay the remainder.
