ROADS IN EUROPE.


Two hundred years ago England had the worst
roads in the world, because the peaSantry living
OH the roads alone were required to wor; them.
In speaking of them Macauay says: THAT a
route connecting two great towns which have a
large and fourishiug trade with each other should
be maintained at tic cost of the rural population
scattered between them is manfestly unjust. 1t
was not until many toll bars had been violently
pulled down. until the troops had in many in
stances been forced to act against the people,
and until much blood had been shed, that good
system WAS lnuoduccd.' Every class now con.
tributes to the maintenance OF the road system
in England. The French have probably the most
efficient laws and regulations in the world ior
the building and repairing Of highways. The
minister OF public work, has the general superin,
tendcncc OF all roads and ways by land and by
water. There aic four classes OF road recognized
by law, namely: % national, 90 departmental,
go military. D cross reads National roads arc
built and kept up by the national treasury. De-
partmcntal reads charge upon the deplrt-
mcuts through which they pass, and part OF the
military roads are Kept up by the government and
4 part by the departments through which .hc
roads pass.
The cross roads are kept up by the oonlmuncs,
though sometimes in thnlv populated lcgions
these CoinmuncS receive assistance irom the gov
eminent, especially when these roads become Of
importance
The national roads are paved like street. hav'
ing an average width oi 5ala feet The depart
mental roads are 80 irct wide. and the military
and CLOS roads are oi variable width. Piles of
broken stone arc placed at convenient distances
aud u man IS constantly employed in repairing
each section.

humble, unknown and without in
fluehle or wealth, can achieve than has

success of any life, however obscure

tensely Interested in the
subject of reciprocity. The world is
taking goods of American production
to the extent of the worlds necessity
so far as that necessity has yet devel-
oped. And to some extent it is buying
Of us goods which it might buy of
other producers at less favorable
prices. What our exporting interests
have to fear is. that the world. at the
instigation of our commercial rivals,
may one day erect artificial barriers
in the way of the continued develop-
nlent Of our export trade and thus
leave on our hands either an unstable
surplus or the problem OF curtailing
production. reducing the volume hours
and pay OF labor and inviting business
depression.
So far as the world cannot get along
without American goods our exporters.
in the long run, are safe. The country
which tries to stop their import ton
does so at it's own expense and cannot
Ion" afford that expense. But leaving
this class Of goOdS-a considerable
class. to be slro--out of the present
calculation. there remains Il large va
riety of articles which the other ma
tions may either buy OF our manuf-tc-
turers or of the manufacturers OF an
other country. Possibly now most OF
these nations are inclined to give to us
the preference. Possibly now our
goods are the best and the cheapest in
the market But it is plain that in
many countries American competition
has cut deeply into the pockct-book
and pride of native interests and these
interests are Smartng for revenge.
The European talk of Il continental
tariff alliance against the United States
may chiefly be talk yet wler" there is

Here is where reciprocity may come
10 our aid. Reciprocity means giving

when the man who makes shoes trades
articles with the maker of hats or
horscshocS. In Il national sense it
means Il tariff giving preferential du-
ties to the imports from countries that
give preferential duties TO our exports
For example. cuba wants to sell to us
sugar ana tobacco. We want to sell
In cuba steel rails ana machinery. AS
sumnG Cuba to be free and sovereign,
the question of tariffs immediately
presents itself and rcciprocity would
mean that if by mutual concessions
the interests of both countries could be
promoted, mutual concessions should
DC made. In theory reciprocity is
ideal In practice it is full OF ditlicul-
ties, Trade interests are so interle-
pendent and interviewer that immense
care has to be exercised in entering
into reciprocal agreements: yet it is
clearly written on the wall that along

associations which surrounded them in early life,
one would have supposed that this knowledge
would alone have been sufficient to prevent them
from being elevated to the highest offices in the
