GOOD ROADS DEPARTMENT.
BY p, III. WILKINSON.

the measure Mr.. Calhoun said:
1.-THE manner in which facility
and cheapness of intercourse add
to the wealth of a nation has
been so often and ably discussed
by writer's on political economy
that l presume the House to be
perfectly acquainted with that
subject. 1t is sufficient to OBJ.
serve that every branch of ma.
t o n a | industry-agricultural
manufacturing and commercial
is stimulated and rendered by it
more productive. The result is
to infuse universal opulence. 1t
gives to the interior the advan.
tages possessed by the parts
most elligibly situated for trade.
1t makes the country price,
whether in the sale Of raw pro.
ducts or in the purchase of ar
Licles for consumption, approx.
mate to that of the commercial
town. In fact if We look into the
nature of wealth, we find that
nothing can be more favorable to
its growth than good roads and
canals" 80 :"
While this subject, that is the
discussion of it, is practically
new to the most of US Of this gen.
GRAFTON, yet it is safe to say that
some of the greatest statesmen Of
both the United States and
Europe have given it much care!
full consideration within the past
hundred years.
Road building has been over
Swallowed by other great enter
prises in our own country, such
as railroad construction, but the
time has now come when we must
realize that every farmer or every
town cannot have a railroad, and
the only remedy is to build better
public roads. In many states Of
our Union this question is nc
longer a dead ISSUE"
The present agitation of this
question began about ten years
ago. There lies at the bottom O.
it certain elementary principles
which no intelligent citizen car
ignore. The price of the farmer
products are fixed at the grea
centers of trade, hence the COS
of transportation is an importan
factor in determining his profits
On the railroads it costs abou
one cent per ton per mile, but the
cost of road transportation il
about 80 cents per ton per mile
1t has been proven by actual tes
that the same force which draws
one ton on a muddy, earth roat
will draw four tons on a hare
Macadam road. On the improved
roads in New Jersey loads of
and 8 tons are drawn by two
horses, and the cost Of transpor'
tation from the fvrms to the rail
roads has been reduced from 81
to 7 1.2 cents per mile.
When these facts are fully ap'
pseciated; when our people fully
realize that they are paying ou
annually many thousands Of dol.
lars to mud holes, rocks and hills
which benefit no one, this issue
will no longer be ignored by
politicians.

COST OF PAD ROADS.

Roads have always been an
important factor in civilization.
The Romans were the first great
road builders. Wherever the
Roman armies penetrated their
progress was marked by building
good roads, and to this day there
are remains of these roads in
France, England and many other
parts of Europe, almost as perfect
as they were in the days of the
Caesars. ~..'''
1t is estimated that one of the
greatest advancements which
marked the progress of England
during the last century was con-
'verting her almost impossible
roads into a splendid system of
highways, which has been the
means Of saving her people many
millions of dollars annually.
Macauley in his History of Eng
land in describing the state Of
England in 1888 states: SIT was
by the highways that both trav.
elers AMI goods generally passed
from place to place, and those
highways appear to have been
far worse than might have been
expected from the degree of
wealth and civilization which the
nation had even then attained.
On the best lines of commune
cations the ruts were deep, the
decents precipitous, and the way
often such as it was hardly pos
sible to distinguish in the dark
from the heath and fen which lay
on beth sides. Often the mut
lay deep on the right and left
and only a narrow track of grount
rose above the quaguim. A
such times distractions and quar-
rels were frequent, and the patti
was blocked up during a lone
time by carriers, neither of whom
would break the way. 1t hap
pened almost every day, tina
coaches stuck fast, until a team
of cattle could be procured from
Some neighboring farm to tug
them out of the slough. Whel
Prince George Of Denmark visit
ed the stately mansion of Pet
worth in wet weather, he was ST,
hours in going nine miles; and
was necessary that a body 0

This gives US some idea of tn
terrible condition of the roads il
England in the palmy days 0
Charles the First, and the sam
state existed almost as bad up t
the time Queen Victoria assende'
the throne.
In the early history OF our owI
country, this important subjec
received some careful consider
