When a man is robbed of a large part of his income and restitution is mude of one-half of it, the Democrats call it the '‘return of prosperity!” Under the new Democratic Tariff law imports of everything but gold have increased and exports of everything but gold have decreased. . American workingmen to the number of. several millions are still waiting for a restoration of the wages which they received during Protection times in 1892, and thpy know they will not get them until the Tarilf law has been revised on Protection lines by a Republican Congress, and the bill has been signed by a Republican President.

Not for many months h»»ve we noticed any intimations from oar Democratic Free-Trade contemporaries that it would be desirable to secure the markets of the world. This waa the chromo we were to hare for a prize if we elected Cleveland, and placed his beloved 'ocratic party in power. - In* ” -ecuring any more foreign • we had under Relations, our ex•lincd and d our 'r. pId

Trade lips; it sounds like an ex- • piring echo that has vanished and fled. Democratic leaders and orgatis who, a few years ago, were denying the truth of reports showing the increase of wea’th, the advance of manufacturing, the improved condition of the wage earners, the increase of national savings, the extension of railroads, are now breaking their necks fc» secure reports indicative of growth ai.d returning prosperity. In this wild endeavor those of us more or less interested iu the preparation of exhibits of national growth, smile at the eagerness with which the old time “calamity howler” points with conscientious pride and patriotism to the very documents which a few years ago he was as wildly denouncing as Protective Tariff lies and robber falsehoods.—Robert P. Porter, in the Cleveland World, Aug.ist. 18,1895.

Pension Payments.

The crusade against the pensioners, make under Hoke Smith’s direction, by virtue of orders from the White House, is beginning to bear fruit, says the Toledo Blade. An official statement from the pension office says the number of pensioners has fallen from 1,011, 794 last year to 987,815 in 1895. Judge Loehren has prepared the following table to show the future diminution of the pension list through death and Democratic opposition: Year. Pensions, 1900 854,461. 1905.. 701,413. 1910., .. ~. ***, • 535,255. 1915 307,180. 1920 215,172. 1925 99,116. 1930 31645. 1935 5,382. 1940 293. This estimate has evidently been hastily prepared, for it overlooks

bearing on the perpetuity of pension payments under the former wars. This is the longevity of the wives of pensioners. His table gives 293 pensioners being alive 75 years after the close of the rebellion; jet last year, 111 years after the close of the revolution, there were several widows of revolutionary soldiers slid drawing pensions, a part of whom are undoubtedly living to-day.

About Gravel Roads.

In this weeks issue we publish official specifications and directions, by the Board of Directors for the building of Gravel roads by Townships or the Citizens of any locality, with a view of having them accjpted and made part of the gravel road system of the county, and by the county thereafter kept in repair. The present, law provides that “By virtue of their office, the Commissioners of any couuty are hereby constituted a Board of Turnpike Directors, under wdiose management and control all the free turnpikes iu sush county shall be exclusively vested.” Aud after prescribing their powers aud duties as such “Board of Turnpike Directors;” that ‘ Wheueverthe citizens of any county in this state shall build one mile or more of gravel road on any couuty or state road, to the acceptance of the Board of Directors of any county, the same shall be accepted by uaid Directors aud kept in repair as other free gravel roads, provided the same shall be by them considered a good aud sufficient road for the locality where built ” (Acts of 1893 Page 354.) _Thia law contemplates that a gravel road shall be built, to the acceptance of the "B >ard of Turnpike Directors.” Our Board has wisely determined how and in what manner, a gravel road shall be built that will be accepted. Special attention is given to the all ( important matter of thefounda-

The proper grading and drain* ing of the road bed, is of the first and highest importance. Building gravel roads and keeping them in repair is too expensive a matter to allow the grading and drainage to be neglected, or to be established from the guess work of unskilled persons. The rules and regulations adopted by the Board, properly provide that this matter shall be attende d to by the County Surveyor. The quality and quantity of the gravel or macadam to be used is also specified. Township officials or citizens contemplating building gravel roads under this law, should carefully study and follow out the sp:ciflcations and directions adopted by the Board. The law does not contemplate that a little guess work grading, and the hauling on of a lot of mixed material, and calling it gravel, makes a gravel road that must be accepted yb the Board of “Turnpike Directors. This would result in one of two things, either there would be no gravel road, or it would have to be built by the Board, under the head of repaiis, at the expense of all of the tax. payers of the county. This is not the intention of the law, and to do so would be a great hardship and injustice upon the people who have already built or may hereafter build good gravel roads, in the true meaning of that term, at their < wj expense. This action of our Turnpike Board is eminently right and proper, and can net fail of the endorsement of all right thinking citizens.

FREE TURNPIKE ROADS.

Specifications And Directions For Gravel Roads Built For The Purpose of Having 1 Them Incorporated Into The County System of Free Turnpike Roads. In building gravel or mneadem roads to be incorporated into the County system of Free Turnpike Roads, Township Trustees, toupeivisors, Superintendents or Citizens must be guided by the follow ing specifications aud directions: The Grade and Drainage of the road bed is of the first importance and iu order that the same may be made suitable for the permanent improvement of a gravel road, we direct that the county surveyor shall establish the grade, set the proper grade stakes for the grade and side drains, and also establish and locate tile drains, culver is or bridges where needed to thoroughly drain the road bed. The outside bank of the side drain should be riot further than 3 feet from the outside line of the rond wny on either side, made deep enough to thoroughly drain the road bed, and sloping from the deepest outside point towards the center of the road; the grade of the road bed between the inside lines of the side drains to be made slightly crowning or oval to carry off the water. The width of gthe grade to be all of the ground, between the inside lines of said side drains; aud shall in mi case to be less than 25 feet, and as much wider as the width of the road, the depth of the side drain and the conformation of the ground will permit The road bed should be fully completed and well settled and accepted by the Surveyor and Township Directors, before gravel or macadam^; is pnt on. The material the road must be a good quality of gravel or of macadam, (crushed stone,) free from soil, sand, sod, mack or other deleterious material, and shall be not less in quantity than 6$ cubic yards to every lineal rod, pot on 12 feet wide, and of a uniform thickness. The Trustee, Supervisor, or Superintendent having charge of the road or different sections of the road, shall file with the Board as Turnpike Directors his verified

report, showing the quality and quantity of gravdling material put on the different sections of said road. On completion of one mile or more of contigioug road, attested by sworn statement of the Township Trustee and on his petition so to do, the Board of Turnpike Directors, will proceed to examine said road with a view i f incorporating the same into the county system of Free Turnpiku Roads. The building of these roads are at tliH expense of the Township, or Citizens building the same. After they are incorporated into the county system, they are kept up at the expense of the county, and must be complete, well built gravel roads, complying with the above specifications. 1 Benjamin R. Faris, John Mabtindale. of Turnpike Directors.
