WHAT GOOD ROADS SAVE.
Money the Farmer Would Pocket
With Better Highways.

Money the Farmer Would Pocket
With Better Highways.
Former Governor Of Vermont Edwin
G. Smith, says the Rome (Ga.) Tribune,
has shown the saving in dollars and
cents coming to the farmer by good
roads by the following effective and
telling comparison of the cost of haul
ing freight over railroads and primary
roads in Vermont:
II have taken pains to have statis-
portation Of the products Of Vermont
from various towns which. lie away
from the line of the railroads to the
railroads as compared with the cost Of
transporting the same articles from the
railroad to market. From these statis-
tics it appears that on butter, lumber,
granite, lime, brick and hay the rate
is $3.50 to 81 per ton to team from the
point Of production to the railroad,
while the rate to haul the same ar
ticles from the railroad station to the
point Of consumption is from $3.40 per
ton down to $1.66 per ton.
I'm none Of the instances does the
haul by team exceed twelve miles; in
none Of the instances is the haul by
rail less than 40 miles. Tie rates by
railroad will never, in my judgment,
be higher, so that whatever can be
saved by improved roads out Of the
cost of teaning these products ought
to go into the pockets of the producers
of the hay Or butter or the lumber OF
granite or whatever is teamed
1.-THE standard authorities give the
saving in cost of teanling over good
roads as compared to ordinary dirt
roads to be from so to IS per cent. Sc
that there is from $1.25 to s. for every
ton Of freight teamed to go into the
! pocket of the producer in Vermont il
! only good roads are made where baC
ones now exist"

The American workman is
the cheapest labor in the
world. The reckoning is not
what he gets, compared with
others, but what he turns out
for what he gets. Recently
the American Machinist
asked a lot of manufacturers
this question:
do you know of any coun-
try where workman in any
line do more for a dollar in
pay than they do inthe United
States?'
Out of twenty-nine replies
twenty-four replied in the
negative, four said American
workmen produced more, and
only one said that foreign
workmen produce more. Our
workmen get better pay, but
not more or as much in pro-
portion to the work done.

FRIDAY, MAY 2.

Democracy seems in the
mind of many entirely a mat
ter of personal definition.
This explains why protec-
tionists like German, who
strangled the Wilson bill, and
several of the Louisiana con-
gressmen, who want sugar "a
local industry cared for, call
themselves democrats. Hill,
who believes neither in free
silver nor in an income tax,
says he is a democrat. Bryan,
who believes in both, is the
greatest democrat in the
United States. Cleveland,
who is friendly to Wall street,
claims to be democrat, while
Dubois, Turner and Tillman,
at the opposite poles of thought
are surely democrats. 1t
would seem that if all these
men are democrats, the party
is a heterogeneous one. Yet
there are certain principles
which before and since Jefer-
sons time, have meantdemoc-
racy. Jefferson believed in
equal rights: abhorred special
privilege, no matter under
what guise or name-and made
Justice the basis OF the party
he founded. This idea may
have been obscured at times,
yet it is, as the Red Wing
Argus ably shows, the vital
principle which holds the
party together.

Paw Handsome Dividends.

The difference between good and bad
roads is often equivalent to the differ
ence between profit and loss. Good
roads have a money value to the farm
ers as we'll as a political and social
value, and, leaving out convenience,
comfort, so6al and refAsd influences
which good loads always enhance and
looking at tlem only from the almfgh:

handsome dividends each year.

The U. s. civil service commission
will hold examinations at several places
in each state during March and April,
to secure young men and women for
the government service. Probably 10
900 appointments will be made this
year. All appointments are for life
and for most positions only common
school education is required. Salaries
at appointment vary from $500 to $1,000
year with liberal promotions after
ward. Politics is not considered. There
is less competition in the southern
states than in other parts Of the coun
try. This affords good opportunity
for people between 16 and As years o.
age. Those desiring places of thi'
kind can get full information abou
them, free, by writing to the Columbian
Correspondence College, Washington
D. c., and asking for its civil service
catalogue, number three.
