MANY IRuSIttS QUALIFY.
Special TdN TO be Levied Under the New
Road Law.

h'Nh AAN'
out of the thirty three rond dis
tricts in Fergus county. the trustees
in fifteen have qualified and have
bonrds which are i'm working order.
There nre four districts IN which two
trustees only havcqualiiied and four
teen which are entirely devoid OF
trustees, or in which only one has
qualified.
This certainly shows great inn

to bc hoped that since the fact has
become known that "a district Is en-
tirely dependent on the action OF its
trustees for any road improvements,
the matter will be given serious con-
sidcration.
Some uf the districts are small and

districts would save considerable to

arles.
Under the old law the county COM
missioners could transfer money from

fund, but ii Is now their opinion that
under the new law they cannot do
this. Hall the money in the road fund
Is set aside for the use OF the trustees
In the several districts and Is To be
equally divided (which no doubt
means equitably) between said dis

Therefore, II any district has not

parison between the London free
trade and the American protective
price on woods Of the same kind the
odds are against the higher priced
American.
The average price of American wool
from July, 1891, when the Dingley
tariff act was passed, up to the pres
ent time, as shown in our chart In
the circular Of May lst. was nearly
SOC (actually lgsc) or l5ac per pound
higher than the average quotation
for Cape secured in London for the
same period, the average value in
London being 33Ec.
During this period, (since the pass
age Of the Dingley tariff act up tn the
present timel, the American market
at times has been from 25c to &c per
pound higher than the London
market, while ON the other hand,
during the panic Of May, 1899, for a
few weeks there was no difference at
all between the two markets. The
reason for this is in the fact that the
vast accumulation OF free wool &c.
quired during the Wilson tariff law
period was more than Il two years
consumption, and the effort to sell 1t
in the face oi the approaching new
clip broke the American market; but
when wool fell Ia i0c and its import
ing point price was over SOC specu-
lators took hold OF IL, and before the
end Of the year the price had gone
up to Gjc per pound. and although
the London market had advanced to
4Sc the American price was lie per
pound above the American price.
II any free-trader should point to
the effect OF the panic in May, 1899, as
evidence that the tariff has been Of
no benefit to the American wool
grower how does he explain the fact
that In December, 1897. the American
market was &c per pound higher
than the London market; or again in
February, 1900, when the American
market was 2jc per pound higher
than the London market? Can any
one claim with any reason that II we
had had no tariff at all there would
have been this difference III price, es-
pecially in the face OF the fact that
during the whole OF the free wool
period the American price was the
same as the London price, or belowit.
You say that some Of your neigh
bors are laughing at the Dingley tar
iii act, or at least at those who be-
lieye in it ms Of inestimable benefit to
the American woolgrower, because
during one month OF panic In the
markets in the United States average
fine secured territorial wool brought
no more here than it was worth In
London. II laughing over this mis-
fortune is oppOrtunc 1t would be ap-
propriate for them to laugh on the
other side Of their mouths over the
fact that the average difference since
July, 1897, in the value of secured
wool between free-trade London and
philadelphia was l59c per pound
higher in the latter place, the extreme
difference being 2Gc per pound in
Philadelphia over London, as you
will see by the enclosed table:

They have not lost their importance, but they nave hNe morality, become matter or course which is not under discussion. ana wmch must be understood from historical con ditions: the constitutional difference no longer means any difference Of oplnioh' The ''problem' has become social ohe' and 1t is just this field in which, as we have seen. the development of the last years has brought about in both countries the same result.
 The same endpoint, complete harmo- uization of aristocratic and democratic energies. has been reached from two op- posite starting points. There is no third country for which that is equally true. It points to the profound similarity be- tween the Americans and the Germans a similarity which was long time hid- den bv the dissimilarity of occupations Now. however, that the pioneer period of America is over and that Germany is entering into the world market, the time has come when the deep harmony of their natures can fully show itself. This Kim shin of character is the best security for q future of lasting peace, not free from competition and rivalry in all fields of commerce and industry. of science and art of culture and ideals, but free from animosity and i'll will.

AN ILLINOIS LAW.
Makes Wives Liable for Family
 Bills.
New York Press.

New IOrk Press.
 Certain forms of advertisements may become the fad in Illinois papers as a result of a decision by the Justices of the Appellate Term of the Supreme Court here Wednesday. This decision states that wives In that State must pay their husbands tailor bills and ap- parently that would take in other neces- sary family expenses, such as cigars, bar bills and election bets.
 This advertisement Is not uncommon here and elsewhere: "Inasmuch as my wife has left my bed and board; but now it may be changed. and the wife publicly disavow all responsibility for her husbands s debts. The decision bear ing this implied threat to downtrodden husbands was given in the case of Geo. w. Matthews against Sarah F. Dickin- son, the wife of Col. John T. Dickinson.
 When they were living in Chicago, the husband bought suit of clothes from Matthews for $50. paying $50 down. The DicRinsons came to this city, and the tailor followed them and sued the wife for his bill The lower court gave the decision to the defendant. but the Ap- pellate Division yesterday upheld the tai Tor unanimously. The opinion was writ ten bv Justice McAdam. who said, as the bill was contracted in Illinois, the laws of that State must decide it.
