what the Brownlow Blll VIII
DO For The Farmer.

There is a bin introduced in Com
gress by the Hon. Walter Brown
low OF Tennessee, and the Hon.
Jacob II. Gallinger, member OF the
Senate from New Hampshire, APP
%propuating S14.ooo.ooo on the
part OF the National Government as
National aid in building wagon
roads. This money is to be appor-
toned among the states according
to their population, except that no
state shall receive less than S4So,-
600.
Each State receiving national aid
from the Government must add a
like amount to the sum received.
This will, therefore, causeth, spend
ing Of IA ,ooo,o 900 for roads and
will build from 5000 to 1000 miles
of splendid road and will place in
each State from Toe to 500 miles Of
fine hard road, which will not be af.
feeted by frost or spring rains add
on which the farmer can haul the
year round. II will be a great adj
vantage 20 those living near it, but
il will be a far create advantage 10
the whole country because it will be
a wonderful object lesson and will
prove to everyone that a good. hard
road which can be used the year
round. no matter what the rains are,
is a good and desirable thing; it
will make everyone who see this
road and who uses it want more
roads just like 1t, and it viii cause
more roads Just like it to be built.
While under the Brownlow Bill the
building of 5000 to 1000 miles OF
splendid roads Is a great thing. vel
it seems to many that the greatest
advantage of this bill is the won.
derful object lesson which o &c
500 miles Of fine road win produce
when built in every State Of tn,
