The County Road Canal Company
Mr.. EDITOR:

MIR. EDITOR.
AS don't sec anything in your
paper concerning the big fight or
contest that is going on in this part
of the county, l thought l would
remind you of it. A strong com
pany has made its appearance in
these parts, claiming part and par
eel of strips of our territory and
has actually taken possession, re-
gardless of consequences. This
company is the The County Road
Canal Company, and its object
appears to be to turn all the coun-
ty roads and highways into canals.
The fight is between the company
and the road ovcrscers for suprc-
macy in those strips of territory
set apart for public travel. Theodds
appear to be against the oversecrs,
as they have not been very cner
getic in opposing the cncroachments
of the company, and the latter has
already succeeded in cutting and
ditching the roads into canals, into
which the water is frequently turn
cd to see how they will operate.
No boats have as yet been placed
in the canals, but they will be a
necessity to the travelling public as
soon it rains sufficiently to fill the
bitches, unless the overseers begin
to hump themselves and recover
some of the lost ground.
| We would like to see our county
court inquire into this matter and
by what right the canal company
taken possession of the public roads.
If the road overseers have been
guilty of bad generalship and al
lowed the canal company to get the
best of them, they should be hauled
over the Goals for it. The over.
seers are appointed and paid to
guard the roads against just such
encroachmcnts as have occurred il
this locality. The people ale taxed
10 cents on 500 to keep the roads
in q ,,occablo condition, o,,,1 4h,
fund raised by this taxation during
the year 1896 has been in the hand:
of the overseers since last Feb
ruary. Why has it not been ap
piled on the roads. This is tn,
pertinent question the taxpayer
are beginning to ask. Let th'
county court demand a reply from
, the road overseers. J. T. PAGE.

A YEAR ago Mr.. Bryan and his
followers were predicting that if
the Government continued to adj
here to the single gold standard
the farmers would be sold out
under their mortgages and the
bailiffs would be cvicting them from
their homes to satisfy the rapacious
money lender who demands pay
ment in gold. The pictures they
drew were indeed distressing, but
fortunately for the farmer and fol
everybody else they were painted
in vanishing tints. They could not
withstand the light of prosperity
and faded out with the big crop:
and the brighter outlook for the
country under Republican rule
Instead of the farmers being de
privcd of their homes by sheriff
sale they are paying off the mort
cages at a rapid rate and are happy
and prosperous. Yet the golt
standard prevailcth.

Stand Up for Missouri.

The suggestion recently made to
all loyal and patriotic citizens of
the State to patronize home in
dustries and purchase products
raised and manufactured in Mis-
souri, is a piece of wisdom to be
commended. Pennsylvania has
taken the initiative in the policy of
protecting and patronizing home
industries, and as Missouri is not
far behind, if behind at all, that
state in point of natural reosurces,
it would be we'll for her citizens to
follow in the movement. There is
no better way to build up the State
and develop its natural resources
than by calling the attention Of the
people to their abundance and the
duty of assisting in their develop
ment..
1t is of interest, however, in this
connection to note the manner il
which our senators and representa-
tivcs at Washington lead in thi
commendable movement. Th'
Brookfeld "Gazcttc" discovers :
remarkable discrepancy between
the things which our representative
in Congress advocate, and the de
mand made by the state upon them

bat that was also the case during
the two preceding years. The pc
pie of this country should realize
that when they vote wrong in !.
national election they vote away
the basis Of profitable business until
the time comes to restore it at the
ballot-box. In the year 1892 our
citizens not only voted pcryersely,
but an immense number neglected
their political duty by not going to
the polls. Perhaps many will
think the penalty that followed was
heavier than the offcnse. That is q
question in the wider fields OF
political metaphysics that can never
be settled. The mistake Of 1892
was to put full control of the nation
into the hands of an incompetent
party. In wrecking itself by Its
incapacitles that party deranged
the whole business world and
caused enormous losses. Naturally
there is rejoicing over Frightening
prospects.
One of the radical faults Of tie
party successful in 1892 was that il
did not keep the pledges of its plat
form. 1t passed mongrel tariff
fathered by nobody and repudiatcd
by all organizations. After re
ducing revenue below the line oi
expenses and bringing disaster tc
American industries, that party
suddenly reversed its financial
position as declared throughout its
history. 1t was Fundamental
change in the issues on which II
had previously appealed to the peo-
pic. Without the Populist fusion
and silver speculative raid the
Democratic party last year woulc
have been beaten millions Of votes
But the country preferred the party
that stands s1uarcly upon its plat
form. The resolutions adopted by
It's national conventions mean cX
actly what they say. There is al
assurance Of stability in the success
of such a party. 1t never looks
around for combinations by whicl
declared principles can be tradet
for votes. Good faith marks it;
legislation, which is shaped OF
pledges accepted and ltrustcd by
the people.
In four months after the date OF
their return to power, and in the
| face of many difficulties, including
| the lack of a clear majority in the
Senate, the Republican party ha:
! redeemed one of the most importan'
promises Of the St. Louis platform
The opening sentence in that plank
runs: ''We renew and emphasiz,
our allegiance to the policy of pro
lection as the bnlwark of American
industrial independence and th'
foundation of American develop
ment and prosperity" That idc;
has been applied with all possible
directness and is now embodied il
the law of the land. The conclud
ing sentence of the same plank is
1.-The country demands a righ
settlement, and then it wants rest.
In this prompt action and these
firm assurances the business men O.
the United States can see lon&
