CROSBt, Road* Engineer ef Baltimore County, Md, jtOJC HE subject of good roads is J one in which every inbab0 ? itant of the country is perA sonally interested. Unless he produces on his farm ho uses, unless he re eoives no mail, pays no taxes and never ventures beyond the bounds of bis own property, he is affected in the spot tenderest to us all?his pocketbook? by the condition of the country roads. He pays more taxes to keep up bad roads than he would to maintain good roads. If he receives mail it costs the itovernment?and this means the people?more to carry it over bad roads than good roads. If he travels beyond his own property it takes more of his time, which is money, and more out of his team over bad roads than good ones. It costs him more on account of bad roads to market produce. This extra cost must be added to the cost of production, and the man who buys the article must pay tbe difference. It costs just as much to grow a bushel of wheat or corn near a good road as beside a bad one, but if on tbe bad road the producer can only haul twothirds of the load with the same team that ho can on the good one his cost of marketing his wheat or corn is fifty per cent more than it otherwise would l?e and the man who buys tbe wbeat or ooru must pay that much more. And wheat or corn, oats or cotton, beef or wool, tbe same thing applies. If all tbe roads are bad. all tbe producers labor tinder the same disadvantage, and tbe manufacturer pays tbe farmer the extra price and then charges the farmer a higher price in bis turn for tbe manufactured articles to make up for it. The problem seems capable of but a single solution. To tbe average farrn .1-. 1 ;e tnn-ifvinc. hut" cr iue nvtu wuu ??, it need not be. We sill ask credit of our neighbors daily in some form or other, either as to our statements, reputations or financial affairs. Judge Thayer says: "The business of a civilized world is done on the credit system." The businfss of barbarism is transacted on the "cash" plan. The r?00,000,000 people who get in debt have food to eat, clothes to wear and places in which to sleep. The ."i00.000.000 who do not possess sufficient confidence in themselves to trust one another never tasted flour or beef, go naked and sleep out ot doors. Activity, prosperity and thrift are the natural fruits of mutual dependence on one another, coupled with the legend "I promise to pay." As an illustration: a man owns a city lot worth say $1000; liis income, above his family expenses, is $300 annually. He wishes to improve the lot so that instead of its being an expense to him he can get something out of it. He is prejudiced against going in debt, so he builds just as rapidly as his $.">001 per year will perrnii, anu ai me vuu of ten years has a $0000 property, which lias cost him $7000, and which he can rent for $750. Now, had he not been so prejudiced against going in debt, he might have borrowed the $5.000 at six per cent., erected the building in three months, and by the end of ten years not only paid off the loan but had from $1500 to $2000 in hand. Adding to this his loss rental, ir.tr-rest, etc.. makes his contribution to prejudice against going in debt $2000 to The illustration applied to building roads shows the difference in results between going in debt for money to build roads and building them from the annual road taxes. Only the man who put up the building had something to show at the end of ten years for the money invested, while the people who pay road taxes have little or nothing at the end of ten years, or at the end of any other period, to allow for their money. There are many times when Ihe demoralized condition of the business of this country can be traced directly to bad roads. Hard times, dull times, labor unemployed, fluctuating prices, reduced railroad earnings, spasmodic speculation in stocks, corners in food stuffs, are often the immediate results of bad roads.' R. G. Dun & Co.. of New York, not long ago, In a review 01 tne condition of trade, said that "the stringency in the money markets here and at some other points is more largely due. to slow collections, which appear to result from severe weather and impracticable roads," than to anything else. So it is that mud rules the land. So great a foe requires the united efforts of the people to dethrone it. In this struggle every line of business in the land should be united, aud there is certainly no interest which has more at stake in the success of this movement and which should be more determined in urging the work forward than the farmers.?Good Roads MagaIiue* # ltlg Flower Vase*.
