tariff was put on and very soon much
better rails were being made in U. S.
A., and at a much less price, and an
enormous business built up on this
side of the water, which, without the
tariff, would still be or, the other
side. A very few years ago all our
tin plate was made in Wales, and the
Democratic leaders declared it could
not be made in this country, but a
small tariff on tin plate % erected
factories and employed millions of
capital, thousands Of skilled workmen,
and now our factories are supplying
the home market, and a big foreign
demand as well, at a less price than
was charged by the Welsh manufacr-
urers. The tariff did it. There are
hundreds of other lines of manufact-
uring which have been built up by the
protective tariff, and at the same time
the wages Of American workmen kept
the highest in the world. When we
manufacture our own goods we have
both the goods and the money when
we buy abroad we lose the money,
and get a poorer quality Of goods.

WALTER WILLIAMS, Of the Columbia

straw in a %supposablc case Of a CO.
lumbia shoemaker being protected
by a tariff, and levying tribute on all
the citizens OF Columbia, and pro-
leeds to tear the aforesaid straw man
to tatters. This is about the only
occupation left for Democratic edit

TO Bryan, Roosevelt has stolen every
thing the Democratic party ever
stood for that had any real value.
Mr.. Williams idea is far fetched. No
town, not even Columbia with its en-

FOR BETTER STATE ROADS
Good Roads Convention Declares
New Constitution.

The State Board Of Agriculture has in.
augurated a campaign for better roads in
this state that is meeting with the APP
proval of farmers and business men and
which will, il carried to completion,
give to Missouri a Dad system Sec
ond to no other state i'll the Union. A
Good Roads Conven' ion, continuing for
four days and which was participated in
by some Of the best authorities in tins
and other states, was held in Chilli.
cothe, September 81, and was attended
by several thousand people, including
more than two hundred regularly APP
pointed delegates sent by county courts
and commercial organizations of nearly
every county in North Missouri. The
sentiments of the Convention are ex.
pressed III the following resolutions,
which were unanimously adopted:
Missouri, the fourth state in the
American Union in wealth and popula-
ton and the first in potential resources,
demands and should have a system of
public highways fully adequate to her
necessities. 1t is therefore resolved by
the Good Roads Convention held At
Chillicotlle under the auspices of the
State Board Of Agriculture, September
81, as follows:
First-We favor the creation by the
next General Assembly of the Office Of
State Highway Engineer, under the jur-
isdiction of the State Board Of Agricul-
ture, to cooperate with the local tfice,s
in the furtherance af good roads.
Second-To provide an adequate num-
Der of trained men for the supervision I

ties oi this state. We recommend the i'm.
mediate establishment Of a coui.e in
Road Il Ginecring and the equipment
Of a suitable labo, atory for the t~cstiIg

GOOD NEWS, IF TRUE

Considerable speculation and COM
ment has been made of late concern
ing the extension of the Bagnell
branch to Springfield, and chief
among the topics Of discussion is the
route which the main line will take.
OF course most of the comment is
mere speculation, on the part of the
press and the public, and in fact but
very little, if anything definite, is
known concerning the intentions of
the Missouri Pacific management in
the matter. but we have the informa-
ton from a very reliable source, one
who is in close touch with the high
officials Of the road. that an entirely
new route, other than those which
heretofore have been discussed, is
being carefully considered, and, in
the opinion OF our informant, is the
favorable route to Springfield. This
gentleman, who is a civil engineer
and is thoroughly acquainted with
the topography of the country, says
the main line will leave the branch at
Russcllville, at an altitude of 800 feet,
and follow the divide, or watershed,
between the Missouri and Usage riv-
tcrs, passing in the vicinity of High
Point and Enid to Versailles. where
they will make connection with the
Bonneville road, and continuing di-
rectly on and following the divide
through Morgan county, will connect
at Warsaw with the Warsaw branch
from Sedalia, crossing the Usage riv-
cr and following up the Pomme de
/. Terre in a southerly direction will
gain the rolling prairies OF the eastern
. part OF Hickory and Polk counties
and western Dallas, from whence
, they will have easy sailing to Spring.
field.
e The points of advantage which this
I route has over others proposed, a.
given by the gentleman, are as fol-
lows:
. Firstly following the divide, 0,
watershed, between Russellville ant
a Warsaw, which is a rolling prairi,
and varies but little in altitude, an1
y also by reason OF having a good out
d let from Warsaw to Springfield, tn
cost OF grading and construction
would be fully %one-iourth less thai
n any other route, and the cost of keep
ing the road in repair would be mucI
less.
S.cond-The line, by c~onncctin,
y with the Bonneville road at Versatile

for the moment. The city council the

begin the construction of public works
amounting to $l,50O,0O0 and pending
their imitation to assign $250,000
among those out of work the number of
whom at present actually destitute
being not over 10000. Danger turks
in the fact that the improvements will
not begin Immediately and will employ

while the $2500O0 to be distributed in
advance will soon be exhausted.
