Old Age Pensions.

Simply speaking, the payment of
an Old-age pension, say a hundred
dollars each to every citizen, male
or female, who has passed the age of
seventy, does not involve a heavy bur-
den on the State.
Let US now consider for a moment
the advantages which the State, as
an organization. would receive from
such a system. As matters stand,
the managers of asylums, whether
for the poor, or perhaps for the
blind, or the insane, or other in7alids,
are always at their wits ends to
know what they shall do with the
aged people who are crowded upon
them. The alms-houses of towns and
counties are filled in the same way.
Now, all these old people are bet
ter cared for in the homes of old
neighbors, or old friends, very posi-
bly, of sons, or of daughters, who
would receive them and take charge
of them humanely if they could re-
Give a little ready money for the ex-
ira expense. AS society organizes
itself, a very little money goes a
great way in the average household
of an American. The moment it ap-

pears that a grand father or a grand
mother has one hundred dollars a
year to his good, that moment we
shall find that the burden thrown
upon the State and town in their
asylums is reduced by a larger pro
portion than by the charge made by
the pensions upon the treasury.
Thus the pension system has the
great advantage that it maintains
life in homes, and that it abates the
necessity for great institutions or
asylums.-Edward Everett Hale, in
the June Cosmopolitan.

maintain high tariffs which efectual-
ly shut out the English manufacture
ers. The English, meanwhile, are
buying stupendous quantities of
food, and of raw materials such as
cotton, in the United States, while
their own great colonies, particular
ly Canada, Australia, and New Zea-
land, begin to clamor for p~referen-
tial treatment in the British home
market. The Canadians for several
years past have maintained a maxi
mum and minimum tariff under
which they admit English goods at
rates of duty about one-third less
than those charged upon goods from
the United States. They desire, in
return, hat England should charge
a substantial duty upon wheat and
other food products from the United
States, Russia, and other foreign
countries, while admitting such arti-
.cles free of duty from Canada, Aus
t~ralia, and all British colonies. The
general logic of such a proposition
is sound and fair. If the British EN-
pire is to be something more than a
mere name, or a league for mutual
defense, it may we'll be demanded
that it should by deliberate plan and
intention grow into a commercial
and economic entity. Nor is it un-
natural that the colonial secretary,
Mr.. Chamberlain, whose business it
is to look at British problems from
the point of view of the empire as a
whole, should have come frankly to
the view that the time is approaching
when the parts of the British Empire
must assume closer ties, upon a basis
of mutual economic advantage

NOW TO GOOD A
The Enemies of Mud Should Unite in a
Campaign for a Principle.

Campaign for a Principle.
Editor of The Progressive Farmer:
One great reason for the preva-
1ence of bad roads throughout the
limited State is lack of agreement
and united action among the advo-
Gates of improvement. Everybody
prefers good roads to bad. Every
body knows that the roads can be
improved only by the expenditure
of money and labor. But here the
agreement ends. There is a great
variety of ideas and schemes for Sc
curing the desired object. There is
no end of discussion, but very little
is accomplished. Some people
would rather travel through mud
than to have the roads improved by
any other plan than their own "pet
scheme" Thus road reformers
themselves sometimes actually him
der the to which they are de-
voted.
If the roads of the country are to
be made good within the lifetime
of the present generation, it is high
time the advocates of good roads
should unite in support of a few
general propositions, and go to work
in favor of a general plan. If a
National good roads movement ever
gets started, nothing can stop it.
It Will sweep everything before it.
But the difficulty is to get it started.
One great advantage posses ! by
the National aid plan, which is now
becoming so popular, is that it is
general instead of sectional or local.
1t is as broad as the whole country.
1t can bring into harmonious,
united action the friends of good
roads in every State, and it is the
only plan yet proposed that can do
this.
The friends of National aid will
make a mistake if they undertake
to work out the details in advance.
They will disagree among them
selves and give objections every adj
vantage. They should go to work
for the general principle and leave
details to be worked out later. This
was the plan of action adopted by
Gladstone. When his opponents
asked for details of any great re-
form which he advocated, Gladstone
would answer: "There will be time
enough to work out the details when
we get the power" The advocates
of National aid will do we'll to emu
late the example of this great Eng
Iish statesman. They should organ
lie everywhere and fight for the prin-
ciple, leaving details to be worked
in due time. B. P. W.
