PARAGRAPHIc POINTERS.

What the country needs is pro-
longed rest from tariff agitation. 1t
was unfortunate that the present re-
publican congress should not have
shown wisdom enough to revise the
tariff on moderate lines, so that there
might have been less excuse for dis
turbing it four years hence.-ChicagI
Record Qnd.).
Every body seems to have got
protection" III some form, save the
farmer. The farmer has been left out
in the cold long enough in all countries,
but In this country he is not so exhaust
ed by rents that he will not in time
shake off his burdens aud take care of
hImseIf.-Boston Globe.
-RepubIican cIaP-traP politicians
talk about the new tariff protecting
the farmers. This is cheap talk in view
of the fact that the farmers have grain
and other farm products to sell. They
do not want protection; they want I'M
restricted markets and trade with the
whole worId.-Dayton CO.) Times.
1t is the want of confidence chief
Iy that has maintained the business
paralysis during the last six months,
and the lack OF faith was imputed to
the delay in inaugurating Il high pro-
tect:ve policy. That policy has now
been made the law of the nation. 1t is
not only protective far in excess of any
thing ever claimed by protectionists
in the infancy of our industries. but il
exceeds in many respects the highest
protective policy of the past ever in
augurared in time of peace.-PhiladeE
Phia Times.
How the new tariff strikes some
people" says the Boston Herald, may
o.. judged by the statement made yes
Ierday by well-knOwn conservative
business man and a bank director of
Boston, who, although a democrat. is
far from partisan one. that if he had
supposed this was TO be the outcome he
should have voted for Bryan instead
Of Mckinley last fall" There seems to
be little doubt that the Mckinley abum-

The PresIdenfs UuImpOrtant Cur
rency Message.


The expected has happened. 1t came
soon and in plain shape President Nc
KinIey has completely abandoned BIZ
metalIism- His currency message to
congress was not the makeshift and
shutting affair that the country had
looked for. 1t is a stTaight-out decla-
ration for the maintenance of the single
gold standard. without any cantIng
palaver about international agreement
or the coinage of the home product
The presidents frankness is as re-
freshing as it is startling. Heretofore
he has obscured his intention and wish
with regard to currency reform IN
haze of ambiguity and pretense- 10
the weak-kidneyed bimetallist his talk
and promises meant bimetallism and TO
the bigoted monometaIlist they meant
recommendation.
The only importance attached to his
currency message is contained in its PO-
IiticaI effect. The document merely
commits the presidents party to open
and avowed hostility 10 an independent
American monetary system and prom
ises the full strength of the organiZa-
ton TO the support of financial pol

nations have grown rich at the expense

mcudations of whatever changes in

commission by prescribing conditions

But the details of the message ire OF
secondary Importance only The chief
point of interest is the presidents de-
sertIOn of bimerallisn. This makes the
issue between democracy and republic
auism clear cut. II leaves the demo-
cratic organization the party of BIZ
metaIIism and the republican Organi-
zation the party of gold mOnometaIlisIn.
There can 10 longer be any shuffiIng
and evasion in the republican party.
Republicans who are bimefalii<ts must
now come to the democratic party.
There is no longer the faIntest glimmer

The best ROAD construction requires

things are stones, gravel and clay
Each town where suitable stones are
plenty should own one or more stone
crushers. Crushed stone forms the
very best material for the foundation
of a good road. Gravel is next in i'm
portance, and clay can be Profitably
used on sand, and in some instances

The lack of proper drainage in the

of the poor roads in the country Good
drainage of the rOadbed is as imPor-
tant as the use of good material a
substratum constantly gorged with
water from hidden springs can never
be depended upon to build on and

essential is to get rid of the water on

CROSS SECTION OF DRAIN.

temporary work is done, so, by the
time the annual round of repairs Is
gone through with, the money ap-
propriated is so far exhausted that
an outlay for permanent improve
ments is not warranted; whereas II
a competent commissioner had the
roads in charge, certain portions OF
the worst places which now call for
annual repairs should be permanent
" made over, even if it takes a higher
appropriation yearly for few years.
Take, for instance, a stretch of road
where the soil is springy, or for any
cause the drainage is imperfect. No
permanent improvements can be made
in such places without proper drain
age is effected.
To do this adequately open ditch
four feet or more wide and three and
a half to four feet deep in the center
of the travel. Fill this with rough
stones, placing the first ones thrown
in so as to form an open drain; fill
in the stone till within a foot of the
top, using the smallest stones for the
top; if crusher is in use the cOarser
of these, which is best. then cover with
evergreen boughs or straw and finish
with gravel. The idea is shown in Fig.

drains always lead to and end at an
open culvert. This is an effectual
