The office Of road inquiry OF the De-
partment Of Agriculture has completed
an interesting investigation relating to
the use Of the common roads Of the
United States. Returns have been
received from about | 200 counties, show
ing the average length Of haul from
farm to markets or shipping points to be
IL miles; the average weight of load for
two horses, 20O2 pounds; and the average
cost per ton per mile, 25 cents, or s2 for
the entire haul. Estimating the farm
products at 219,s24,227 tons in weight,
and making estimates on other articles
carried over the public roads, it Is
calculated that the aggregate expense Of
this transportation in the United States
is $946,414,665 per annum. Reports have
been asked from the United States
consuls abroad Of the expense OF hauling
where the roads are good, so as to render
possible calculation which will show
how much Of this large outlay is due to
bad roads. The estimate is ventured,
however, upon information in the office
Of road inquiry, counting the loss Of time
reaching markets, the enforced idleness
and the wear and tear to live stock and
hauling machinery caused by poor roads,
that two-thirds Of the cost might be
saved by an improvement Of the roads.

In recent interview John N. Ives,
ex-Attorney General, said:
Something over a century ago Eng
land claimed the right to leglSlste for
a large portion Of what is now the
United States. That right was dis
puted by the Thirteen Colonies and 1t
took seven long years to kick that no.
tion out Of old Johnny Bull. But IL

ever since understood that Uncle Sam
could run his own affairs.
"Hss the time come that we have
discovered that the colonlsts were mis-.
taken and that all the blood, treasure,
priVstion and patriotism displayed by
our Revolutionary forefathers was
wasted trying to maintain q mistaken
notionP 1t would so seem If Senator
Chandler Rep.), Of New Hampshire,
Is right in his purpose to redeem
this country by asking England and
other foreign powers to leglslate free
coinage for US at their own sweet will.
Patriotic SONS of Revolutionary sIres,
how do you relish the surrender Of the
right to legiSlate for this country back

this attempt to redeem this country
for English greed displayed by Sena-
tor from q State which, sS a struggling
colony more than a century ago, sent
out Its hardy yeomanry to help to kick
the naughty red coat from our soil,
and then assisted in adopting consti-
tuition which delegated the sole right
to legiSlate to representatives Of the
people.

sllVeE again q full legal tender was not
enacted surreptitiOuSly; it 10 one Of the
few laws passed against the combined
efforts Of the money power, but the
people have been robbed Of most Of
the benefits 1t would have brought by
the fsithlessness Of those upon whom
devolved the execution of the law.
Blind unreasoning party worship has
been sufficient to deprive the people Of
the fruits of their victory, has also
prevented them from rs.enaCting the
law for free coinage Of silver. During
all these years the moral standard Of
public men has sadly degenerated, so
that even the chief officer of the nS.
tiorl in his message to Congress and to
all the people stoOps to falsehood and
Misrepresentation to carry his point,
and retire the balance of the peoples
money and put them entirely at the
mercy of the money sharks.
In my humble opinion the only rem.
sdy for the almost universal degener.
alton of public officials is to create q
public sentiment that will demand in
tones not to be misunderstood, com.
pliance by its public servants to the
demands Of the people. But In order
to do this, public demands must be
clearly and specifically stated, and
should only contain such propositions
as are then possible Of accomplish
ment, 1t is possible to educate on all
phases Of reform, but It Is not wise to
embOdy questions in a platform that
are unripe, or unsttainable under
present constitutions. And let US not
forget that we the people should per.
form our duties as citizens and voters
more conscientiouSly, should act more
from unselfsh motives, from q pro.
found sense Of duty and high concep.
tiOn Of citizenship.
We can never expect good govern
ment only by and through an intelli.
gent conscientious exercise of our
duties as individual citizens.
