ABOUT ROAD MAKING.

Somebody suggests that an article
on the above subject appear in this
issue of the MONITOR. 1t is almost a
useless task to attempt to teach the
average man anything about road re-
pairing or road building. Every man
knows all about it to begin with. If
some of the old Romans who helped
build the Appian Way should come
to the earth again and offer their serv
ices as road commissioners, they
would be rejected by the average
town meeting voter. The work of
repairing or building roads requires a
man of good Judgment and common
sense who has learned some thing from
experience no matter if he has seen
some book or treatise on road build
ing = and who is wise enough to
build we'll for the future as for the
present.
The problem of successful road work
is difficult. There are many things
that enter into it. Some of these may
be suggested as the amount and char

present road bed; the effect Of frost,
water and rain; the underlying sub
stratum; the influx of water toward
the road bed; the facility Of under
draining and sluice draining; the ex-
pense of gravel, stone, brush or other
repair material; the doing of the best
thing in each place; the decision as
to what can be let alone while some
thing else is done, and the selection
of the most needed section, which
shall be permanently repaired or
built; and lastly some knowledge of
what thing is to cost before work is
begun.
To be more definite, take the town
of Barton for example. Eighty miles
of highway to be, first, kept in passa-
BILE condition, and, second, the per-
manent repair or building of some
rod or mile of road. Many of the
roads in town run through and over a
hardpan ground that contains clay
enough to work up into mortar, and
is porous enough to freeze and heave.
Much of this same section is filled
with stone. In spring time road of
this sort is soft, both in material and

According to the latest news from
London, Queen Victoria is unable to
walk, owing to rheumatism. In the
natural course of things the demise of
Victoria is an event to be expected
ere long. On May "a next, should she
live until that time, she will be II
years old-seven years more than the
allotted scriptural span. She has now
occupied the British throne about 58
years and but few of the great as
semblage which witnessed the brilli
ant spectacle of her coronation in
Westminster Abbey are now living.
Her increased infrmaties indicate
that she, too, must soon pay the in
evitable debt of nature.

THE QUESTION OF REVENUE.

Senator German again denies the
correctness of Secretary Carlisle's es-
innate, and predicts large deficit fol
the current year. The question is one
which official returns ought to decide
To- day six full months under the new
tariff come to an end, and the revenue
not exactly but very closely known,
will be about $134, 900, 900. The ex-
penditures will be close to $179, 900,
900, and the deficit for six months un-
der the new tariff about $45, 100000
Of course it is always possible to stave
off payments near the end of month
or half year, SO as to reduce appar-
ent expenditures, and there is evil
dence that this method has been en-
plCyed. The appropriations for the
year are about as large as for previ
GUS years, but for six months the pay
ments have been about $40, ZOO, 900
smaller than last year. Nevertheless,
there appears deficit of $45, 1000, 900,
and nothing indicates that it will di-
minish.
Roughly speaking, the customs re-
ceipts for six months under the new
tariff have been $79,000,000, against
about $65, 900, 900 in the extreme pros
tration of 1898 "a, and $1O2, 700, 900 in
the same months of the previous year.
The increase is substantially all in
the withdrawal of goods from ware
house in September, and again about
the 1st of January, when new duties
went into effect.
Customs receipts in February are
scarcely larger than the average for
the last four months of 1894, and the
expectation of a great increase with
the new year has been disappointing,
for after receipts for the first few days
of January, amounting to about So
100000 on Withdrawals of woolens
from warehouse, the receipts for the
two months have been about the same
and but little more than in October.
The internal revenue is about as large
as in January, but appears smaller
than in December. Probably some in
crease may be expected before July L
on account of larger payments for
whiskey and sugar, but how much
will depend upon the condition of in
dustries. The figures certainly do not
warrant the expectation that receipts
for the rest of the fiscal year will
average per month much more than
those of the last six months, but if
not, the receipts of about s9O,OOO,OOO
for the four coming months will not
cover the expenditures, which Secre-
tary Carlyle has estimated at $113,
100000 for the rest of the fiscal year.
The official figures therefor fairly sus
tain the estimate of Senator German
in the Senate on Tuesday that the de-
fcit for the current year will be about
$50, 000, 00O.-Tribune.

from the effects of the freeze. The
water alongside, if it is not run off by
side bitches, finds way under and
into the road bed, and some of it,
perhaps all Of it, has started off for
Memphremagog. The question may
be asked right here, what can you do
with such roads? Well, first, let them
pretty effe ,tually alone; let them
solidify by age. if they will. Wait till
such time as their turn comes. Such
a length only as can be permanently
repaired should be taken up. In some
places, cross or lengthwise draining
is all that is needed; in other places
the whole soft, worthless surface ma
terial should be removed, and some
thing, either a heavy coating of
brush with gravel, if it can be had,put
on as top covering. In places where
foreign material can not be afforded,
build the road wide and high of the
| ground, not the muck alongside-wide,
SO that the travelled road bed will not
| be frozen in from the bitches, and,
high, SO that the surface water may
drain down, preventing mud and
heaving. A very light top dressing
of gravel, or even sand on such a
road will help it wonderfully. In
swamp holes, cover heavily with cedar
or other soft brush, try and get on
coating of gravel; no gravel at
hand, cover up with the hardpan earth
that lies under the black earth beside
es, if possible, and remember always
that water is the enemy of the high
way. Experience in this town has
shown that all of the above methods
have proved successful. 1t has been
proven that light coating of river
gravel on a soft, clay-bed road will
make almost perfect highway, last
ing several years. A thing that men
outside of this town have long known
is the fact that a gravel coating on
deep sand will make an excellent
road
Road commissioners, as we look at
it, make the mistake of attempting to
do too much-to take too long stretch
es of road, tearing up the "green
sward'' alongside and turning into
the middle of the, necessarily narrow
road, lot of soft, muddy material
that is worse than useless. There is
no tirAC Or money to waste in tearing
up fairly good road. The present
law presumes that there will be some
permanent and good road building
done this year. We hope in this town
and everywhere else the very best
men for the position of road commits
sioner will be chosen. 1t happens in
both villages of this town that the
roads upon which the largest number
of outside people come to do business
are among the hardest to maintain,
and are to-day almost the worst in
the town. 1t is very poor economy
to keep our neighbors out by intoler-
able or impossible roads.

Speaking of Mr.. Edmunds, am re-
minded of the fact that Vermont's
distinguished Ex-senator is enjoying
a very large and of course profitable
practice of the law, now that he has
time to devote to his cases; but resi-
dents of his native State have little
opportunity to know Of the real ex-
tent of this service, inasmuch as most
of his work is in the higher courts of
the country. His income from the
cases which he presents before the
Supreme Court of the United States
must be very large, but his counsel
and services are in demand in many
parts of the country beside, not ex-
Guiding the West. For example when
the city of Chicago began a move
ment to compel the railroads leading
from that city to the Southwestern
States to revise the discriminating
rates which were alleged to have been
made in the interest of Eastern cities,
the question as to who should be Sc
lected as the chief counsel to take
charge of the entire case for the city
was promptly disposed of by retain
ing Mr. Edmunds.-Free Press.

In the death of Hon. Frederick
Douglass, the country loses an honor
ed and worthy citizen, and the negro
race one of it's most eloquent and
powerful leaders. Born in slavery he
achieved for himself, unaided and
alone, a position of trust which he
was well capable of filling. Himself
a mulatto he was brought up in early
youth under the full weight of the
slavery system, but escaping he won
for himself fame as one of the fore
most advocates of the oppressed race
whose blood ran in his veins. He
proved himself worthy of the esteem
of his fellow men and of the position
of political trust which he attained to.
His career was remarkable in the ex-
treme and well deserves a place in
future annals.

THE WOODEN TRADE.

The announcement is made from
the Bureau of Statistics Of the Treas
ury Department that the income of
the Treasury Department during Jan
uary was swelled up by the heavy i'm
portations Of woolen goods, but that
the importations in the futureiwill not
be so heavy as has been expected in
some quarters, '1because foreign
manufacturers will not be willing to
sell continually at a loss"
From this it appears that the wool
en- trade in this country has not been
satisfactory either to foreign manu-
facturers or to the American produc-
ers, because if the foreign manufac-
turers have been selling at loss, the
American manufacturers must have
been selling at still greater loss, the
rate of wages in this country being
higher than abroad.
This then is the result of Free Trade
not only has it ruined our producers
of wool in the United States, but it is
running the foreign manufacturers of
same for the American manufactur
ers, unless labor employed in our
wooden mills is working at a lower
rate than labor engaged in the same
business costs abroad.
Free raw material, under such cir
cumstances, might prove endurable
to our foreign friends though of no
earthly benefit to US. In this consid-
Grafton, no account has been taken of
the much smaller purchasing power
which the wool growers and the wage
earners employed in the woolen fac
tories now have, and which lessons
the demand for wooden goods and
curtails the necessary output of the
factories.-Econonlis
