columns. The Tampa, Fla, Times
makes the following comment:
"Meliville G Gibbons received
telegram from his partner, Hon. E. R.

MORE miles Of railroad are now under

More farm fences out of repair than
at any time in twenty-six years. What
does this mean? Climax.
We think we can answer both ques-
tons. First the crops OF this country
are larger than ever before; shipments
OF live stock and manufactured goods
are as great, if not greater than ever be-
fore; while freight and passenger rates
remain as high as they ever were.
Second. it takes all the farmer makes
off Of his stock and crops to pay taxes
and freight bills, and he has nothing
left with which to repair his fences, II
the farmers troubles were caused bv
short crops, then the railroads would
suffer also. But the farmers troubles
are the result of a storage in money i'll
stead OF crops, and his business is plas-
terng his farm with mortgages. Will
