PARIS. Dec l1.--American makers
of automobiles are practically I'M
represented at the fifth international
exposition Of automobiles which has
just opened auspieiously at the Grand
Palace. with President Loubet and
several cabinet ministers among the
throng Of visitors,
The vast ampitheater was filled
with the latest types of racers and
coaching ana commercial vehicles,
chiefly pcnderous and powerful
French, Swiss and Belgian makes, con-
centrating with the few light graceful
American machines. Among the nov
elites exhibited were automobile ca
noes and launches. One Of the latter,
luxuriously equipped, was built for the
sultan OF Morocco.
4 representative OF one of the Amer
lean companies present said; "rhe ab-
sence of American types is due to
the fact that the American manufac-
turers are so busy supplying the home
demand that they are unable to COM
pete with the European trade and the
American types are chiefly for streets
whereas the mountain coaching Of the
continent requires powerful climbers
President Loubet gave special at
tention to speed machines. He was al
so struck with the numerous and re-
markable applications Of automobiles
to agriculture. The minister of ag-
riculture, NJ Mougeot, is said to have !
the intention of making a special
study Of the application of automo-
bile to agriculture.

A PLEA FOR GOOD ROADS.

There are three things that make
a community rich-fertile fields,
busy workshops, and good roads.
Transportation by horse power is
the most expensive in use, even
with the best of roads how much
more so thsn, when the roads are
such as to cause serious damage to
the horses in use, as well as to the
vehicles II is almost impossible
for a county to bear the entire cost
of good roads, and a system of
state aid should be inaugurated to
bear one-half Of the expense. When
the candidate for state offices comes
before the people, let him declare
himself for this system, for what.
ever helps the county, will in the
end, add to the glory and beauty |
of the state. Macadamizing roads
with stone rubble has been the
usual method of improvement, but
stone is not available in Brazos
county, nor is gravel easily OBJ
tanned. OF late years, burnt mud,
or burnt gumbo has been exten.
sively used in the central west for
railroad ballast. and its use is now
beyond the experimental stage.
This can be had anywhere, and as
the more sticky the mud, the bet .
ter for gumbo, how very suitable
the muddy clay, or clayey mud so
general in this county, would be {
for this purpose {
Burnt gumbo has a red, eravelly
appearance, is very porous, aud c
very hard is not unlike coal '
cinders, except that it is red. A !
road built Of this material is never '
muddy, for that property Is lost in /
the burning, and the surface Of the !
road is hard and smooth. No v
vegetation can grow on it, and it is /
practically free from dust, except r
such as is brought to it by vehicles, r
from other roads. The process Of a

burning the clay is quite simple
and cheap, and tie clay 1t ELF i,
easily obtained, as many farmers
living in this county have fields Of
just such clay, and they would lie
glad to have a quar- tity Of il dug
out, as the pit thus made would
form a fine tank for their stock.
| The process of burning the mud
mnst be studied out by those who
have the matter more closely in
hand; this article is intended only
to show the cheapness and entire
feasibility Of its use on our coun-
try roads, with the hope that some
steps will be taken towards oh
tanning its benefits.
Another great help to good roads
would be the general adoption of
the wide-t tired wheels for farm
wagons, having the tires of the
hind wheels two inches wider than
in front, and as the hind wheels
follow the narrow track, its ed ges
are hattened down, thus working
the road every time the wheels
pass over it. This wide tire has
been adopted in several counties
with excellent results. As an in
iucement to the farmer to use such
Tres, wagon thus equipped
should be free from taxation for
wo years or more, and by that
lime the farmer would not want to
lse any other wheel. both on ac-

Wipe Out Tariffs on
the Trust Products

~M DEMAND for the removal Of the restraints
NR of trade has'co from a new quarter, as
~% will be seen by the dispatch sent some
days ago by the NIers' association Of
Kansas to Senator Harris of that state, i'm which the
declaration was made that in consequence of the
foreign tariff laws the -four mills of Kansas have not
been able to develop third of their capacity The
Kansas milcrs therefore asked the senate committee
on foreign relations to favor such reciprocity treaties
as will help to put them footing equal with the
foreign mers They fully realize that if this country
is to obtain trade concessions it must grant them in
return.
The attitude of the Kansas miIlers but proves
again the effect of the protective tariff which the Re
publican party in congress is maintaining It's effect
is to foster trusts here and lead foreign governments
to reaate with like legislation that cuts off the for
cign markets for American products
The demand for relief coming from the miers
of Kansas and the demand for the removal of duties
on cattle and meats a blow to the beef trust and
the declarations of Republican conventions of the
past few days in favor of wiping out duties trust
products show cOnclusiyeIy the drift Of sentiment.
But the declarations of Republicans in favor Of
tariff reform, while apparently in good faith are to
be taken with grain of allowance in view of the
ton of leaders in the party in Congress who have at
every turn blocked the way to reform and who have
fought against any relief that might be the entering
wedge to bring about free trade. The practical agree
mcnt of the ways and means committee of the House
of Representatives to take steps in connection with
the agitation in favor of striking blow at the beef
trust shows plainly that little can be hoped for from
the Republican party which is ever willing to promise
and declare in order to obtain votes to retain it in
power
If the business interests of the country that are
standing on their merits and giving the people the
benefits of competition to get any relief in the way
of broadening foreign markets and if the people of
this country to he freed from the clutches of the
combines il must through the work of the party
which has clean record i'm favor of tariff for revenue
only and which is consistently opposed to the evyng
of duties to build up special interests that become
burdcnSomc to the people.
