JellllAOtl AllllDr'A KrtMtJ, Johuaen MUler thou read the following essay : Tew poeplo hate nn Idea aa te what It costs te f-jnee our farina and the oxpenaet of keep lngthe aame In repair. As thla la a question In which we, as faruiera, are all lntereated, I thought It proper te aolect It at) my aubject for an essav at veur meetlng te-day. We have, according te the Cnlted Shttia census of IShO, In I.ancjutter county, 0,070 farm, 0011. talnlngSS'VIll aerosol Improved laud, 1,531 et thoae larma are under llfty acres lu alze. Ah a basis ler my calculation in estimating te cost of farm fonces, I will for an Illustra tion, b)ke a farm of 130 acreaaau lair aver aver age. Thla farm belng divided Inte six 0 aero fields, unit two fuuall lets of Ute acres each, It belng bounded en three aldet by ad joining tariiia, and en ene Hide by a public read, Is all fenced by a llte-rall pett louce; all fences reijulred en such a farm, if put In ene continuous line would make 10.U.VS feet. Frem this must be deducted tll'J leet made by adjoining runners, leaving 15,0.1') feet, or nearly three miles te he made by the owner of tins larm, talcing 11 feet for n panel we hate 1,422 panel. The oxpeusea per panel la as fellows : Geed cbestnut pest 15 cents ; Ute chestnut rails 60 cents j building 10 cent, maklnc 85 centa nor panel, or 81,3)470 In- vested In fencea. If you take the locust In stead of a chestnut pout, It will add 1 cents per panel, or ?&5 SO mere. This is a fair average estlmale for the talue or fonces lu Lancaster county, for the reason that there are mero farms in the county under 100 acres than above, and the smaller the farm the mere fences In pronretlon te the number of ACTMl Thus the money wasted iu fonces lu the county ran be aafely oatlmated at tle per aero of our Improved lauds. At thlt rale wnliave the tallin of our fencea at tMKK),5S!i) en lin lin preved lands te any nothing of the lenccs of unimproved lauds.

Where dlllureul far mers' caltle will get together en both sides they are net substantial, and then lore nheulil net be made a lawful fonce; and when nnce tern they are net easily ineudtd, and thn danger there It 111 them are mailers that work against the Introduction of wire fence. I .1111 aware that men hate argued long age Hint the timber of Pennsylvania and ether stales would be exhausted and fencing ma terial could net longer te had , thlt is simply .111 Idea and nothing real Hi it, ler nature has always provided fundi tilings, and I Kdlote that Providence has provided for Ien-lug ma terial en the mountains and forests of Penii sylvanln ler all the agi a of theceiulng future. 'I he grew th Is mere than the consumption or any single ear, and the total exliaustleii will never be known lu this stile or In any ethor In this hre.nl laud of ours. I am ceulldeut that I ex pre tlie sentiment of nine out of every ten 01 me larmera 01 i.aiicnsuir county, that " n lawful lence should constitute a pest and llve rails for a iai.et" or lour rallt If you desire, ler eten that it better than a wlre fonce. 'I he only plaie w here wlre fences can be ued te ad vantage and without danger or damage te our neighbors cattle, grain or crut Is along a stream el water or along 11 railroad. Mere wlre fence, like the ene do de ncrlbud with it iKxird at the top, might Ik) Usui w llheul objection by any body. I'hlt question or lonces and fonce laws or what should constitute a Inwlul fence, hat been discussed by our lawmakers and the adoption of agenendlaw for the state agitated by which some of the geed old leuce laws would bewled out ami erhiiw something agreed njien which would net at all suit the farmers et this county. In conclusion let me say that I.tncaster county net only baa the grand title el being the garden county of the state, but she also holds the title of geKl fences that wlllcouipare fiterably with her agricultural wealth, and while some el her sister counties are sttlslled wltli the old rail lg tig fence or a two and throe-wlro wire fence, it is important tint w lienet or this question of fonce laws comet up before our legislature that our members stand up for .1 geed sipiare pest rail fonce nt the only tuluble tiling , and opjxise auy mea Hiire that would deprlte us el the geed pre lectien lu the way of fence laws we new 011 011 Jey. I beliove In ngoed substantial fence, and 1 want in) neighbor te build the aame kind of 11 fence, se that the old by-word that " geed fences will make geed neighbors," will never Is) broken, and while I have gixxl fence, and my neighbor refuses te make Ills part sulllclcut te keep my cattle Irem getting ever, I watit the law se that 1 can conipel him te de se, and no fence short of n Tour or tlte-rail pest fonce will de this. It we want wire fences, let ut hnte thorn lu lu side at division fences, and net along the Ixirdering farms or along the public high way , for I would net like te oxjieso and en danger my neighbor's; stock te the langt et a wlre fence, and thorelero the golden rule ' de at you wish te be dene by" should be exerclsitl In the framing of any preixed fence law. Titr mievk r.sttY i)isrissn. Dr. Wlckersham thought tlie essayist was vv reng In staling that the timber lands would nover be denuded, and that each jiar's growth of weed wnt greater thin the con sumption. The statistics el all the old coun tries et Kurope dlsprote this. Tliure are but few wooden fentes there; thore are seme stene feucet and many bedges ; but for hun dreds of mileH the public reads run through rich, lertile district where there are neither read fences, line fences or interior fences. The land ew ners and tenants II ml It cheaper te employ hordsmeu than te build fences. The herding Is done by boys and girls and oldjieeplo, the cattle seen learn net or te go beyond the line assigned them. He was net Biire but It would pay liore In Lancaster county te sweep away all the fonces, and leave the land upon, employing horders te keep the cattle within set bounds. J. Prank l,andis agreed with Dr. Wlcker sliam. He had himself ence hired 11 herder who In a few days taught his herd of twelve stoers te pasture upon n grass plot botween 11 corn field and au eaU Held, without for a moment trespassing en the forhidden crops. Jehn C. I.luville did net believe the aliove plan practicable ; It will cost tee much, It will be cheaper te put up pertable wlre fences te keep the cattle within bounds. W. I). Weaver held that the mountains and hills el Pennsylvania will furnish a per petual supply of tlmber te fonce the lertile v alleys ler this and all succeeding genera tions. Mr. l.invllluiureed with Mr. Woater, but hoiietlied that the farm laud was climbing up the Hides of the hills aud mountains; If this continued te be dene, net only would the timber crop fall but thore would be a dearth In the valleys by the drying up of the mountain streams. Mr. A. 1). Ho'tettor favored the hedge fence as mero dosirable than any ethor, being closer and cheaper than any ethor If they are preperly planted and docently trimmed. Casper Hlller's experlence with hodge fences hat been that they are ery trouble treuble trouble semo nud nearly werthlett. The mice get lu alieut the roots of thorn and kill tlie young plauta, leaving holes thrnugli which almost any niilmal can pass. H. M. i:cgle, who had much exporience in growing hedges, con demned them nud dug thorn up. Jeseph 1 Wltmoragreed with Mr. Hlller ontlrely. He thought the hodge fence tlie greatest nuisance that can he put upon a larm. H. P, Uby montlnned u farm that had been surrounded by hodge fence for twenty yeara, nud the lence always was and new is a geed 011 iv Hph. S. Hoever thought the hedges a pretty fonce and sultablu for readwajs or division reticcs between farmers ; but net for Interior fences or along railways. Ter railway fencing he preferred a line of locust treeswith wires stretched botween them ami a pile of stones plnced nreund the roots of the trees te prevent them from taking lire, run initial! fr.sci) man him: tits our. Dr. Kobbs, agent et the Dayton hodge fonce ceuipauy, being called en said Ue was mueh nmused at the various flews ontertalnod by gentlemen who had speken nbeut hodge leuces. Fer his own part he bel loved n properly constructed hedge fonce the best that can be made. He would contract te nut up a hodge fence that would turn tlie smallest animal, at a cost of f 1.155 per red, payable In live annual payments j and he will con tract te keep the lence pruned at a cel of one cent per red per annum. In answer te a question l)r. Ilebbs said that after the bee eud or third year the prunlug is a very small matter, He will make a contract te keep the hedge pruned at I wnt per red per sear for twenty years, ir any eun desired It. Jehn 0. I.lnvllle had for twenty years had semu exmilonce with hedge fences and leund them troublesemo ; and besides they lin lin isiverlshed the soil for hoiiie roils Irem the Dr. Hnhbt explatned that Mr. Mnvllle's treuble was largely due tn his Improper prun ing, ir the young ennes had been bent ever at an angle of ferty.flvH degrees there would Imi no lateral brain he, but In their places would be found rrmii Is te JO upright ones.

'I his legislation hat awakened much In terest ntneng the (siople of the country, and earnest argument hat liteu addressed te the oxecutltelor the purpese of Inllnencing hit action thereupon. Many In opposition hate urgcal Its dangerous character as tending te break down the lioundaries between the proper oxerclse of legislative power by iederal and state authority. Many lu favor of thu enactment hate represented that it premised great adtantaget te n large portion et our population who ttdly need rollef, ami these of both sides or tlie question whose advocacy or opposition It based tqieii no broader foundation than locater tioraennl In terest have eutriuiu bored all the ethers. 'I his, upon Its I no and Its main features, It a revenue bill, and was first introduied In the Heuse or Representatives, whero the con stitution declares that all lulls ler raising rotenuo shall originate. The constitution hat Invested Congress with a tery wide legislative discretion, lieth as te the necessity e! taxation and the selec tion el thn ebjicts or its burdens. And though, It the question was presonted te me as an original preposition, ;I might doubt the prosent ueed of Increased taxation, I deem It my duty in this instance te defer te thojudg thejudg thojudg ment or the legislative branch otthe govorn gevorn govern mont, which hat been se emphatically an nounced lu both houses of Congress upon the patsage of tills hill. Moreover, theso who doslre te see romevoil the weight of taxation new prossingupen the tsiople from ethor direction?, may well be Instilled In the liope and expectation that the selection of an additional subject of In ternal taxation, se well able te bear It, will, In consistency, be followed by legislation re lieving our eltlens from ether revenue bur dens, roudered by the postage of tills bill even mero thin horetoforo, unnecessary and needlessly onnresslve. It has been urged as an objection et this measure that, while purjiertliig te be legis lation for rovenuo, It real purpese is te de stroy, by the use of the taxing pewer. ene In dustry of our ieople for the protection and beneflt of another. If entitled te Indulge in such a suspicion as te basis of 0Illcl.1l action in this case, and If ontlrely satisfied that the cousequoncos In dicated would ensue, I should doubtless teel constrained te interpose executive dissent. Hut I de net feel called uiien te lntorpret the motives of Congress otherwise than by the apparent character of the hill which has been presented te me, and I am convinced that the taxes which It creates cannot possibly destroy the ejsjn and legitmate manulacture ami the sale of the thing upon vhich it is let led. If this article has the merit which its friends claim for it, and If the pcople or the land, with full knowledge of It real character, desire te purchose and use It, the taxes exacted by this bill w ill permit a lair profit te both manufacturer and dealer. If the oxistence or the commodity taxed and the profits of its manufacture and sale depend upon the disposing of It te poeplo for something else which It deceitfully Imitate, the entire enterprise Is a fraud and net an in dustry ; and, If it cannot endure the exhibi tion of its 1e.1l character, which will be ef fected bv the Inspection, supervision and stamping which tills bill directs, the sooner it la destroyed the better, in the interest of lair dealing. Such 11 result would net furnish the first in stall! e Hi the history of legislation In which a rovenue bill produced a lament which was merely incidental te its main purpose. There it certainly no Industry better en titled te the Incidental ndt antages w hlch may fellow this legislation than our tanning aud dairy iutoresta and te none of our peeple should they be les begrudged thau our larmers and dairymen, The present dopros depros dopres sion el their occupations , the hard, steady and unromunerative toil which such occupa tions exact, and the bunions of taxation which our agriculturist neces-arlly bear, en title thorn te every legitimate consideration. Xer should there be opposition te the inci dental etlect of thts legislation en the part of theso who profess te be engaged heuestly and fairly in tbe uiauufacture and sale of a wholo whelo whole sonio and valuable article of loed, which by its previsions may be subject te taxation. As long at their business is carrled oil under cover and by false pretenses, such inen hate bid companions In theso whose manulac- tures, however tile and harmful, take their Place without challenge with the better sort in n common crusade of deceit against the public, Uutirthlsoceupatlenandlts methods are forced into the light, and all these manufactures mutt thus either stand upon their merits or tall, the geed and bad must seen jsirt company, and the fittest only will survive. et the least Important Incident related te this legislation is the dofense allerded tn the consumer against the fraudulent substitution and sale or an imitation for it gonuine article el feed or very general household use. Xot Xet wltlistandlng the lmtnense quantity or the article described in this bill which is sold te the peeple lortheircensumptionas feed, and, notwithstanding the claim made that ltt man Ufa ttire supplies a cheap substitute ler but ter, I tenture te say that hardlya pound ever cutered a oer man's house under its real name and Hi its true character. Whlle in Its relatien te an article of this description there should be ue government regulation et vv hat the citizens shall eat, it is certainly net a cause of regret if, by legisla tion of this character, he Is nllerued a means by which he may better protect hlmsell against imposition in meeting the needs and vv ants of bis daily life. uat mg entered upon tins legislation, it is manifestly u duty te render it as ollectlve as possible Hi tlie accomplishment of all tlie geed which would legitimately fellow in its train. This leads te the suggestion that the article prejKised te be taxed, and the circumstances which subject it thereto, should be clearly and with great distinctness detiued Hi the statute. It seems te me that this ehlecttbns net been completely attained iu the phrase ology of the second section of the bill, and that question may well arise ns te the precise condition the article te be taxed must assume In erder te be regarded as "made In imita tatlen or semblance of butter, or, when se made, calculated or intended te be sold as butter or for butter." The fourteenth nud tlfteenth sections of the bill, tu my opinion, are In danger of being construed as au Interference with the pollte pewers et the states. Xet being ontlrely satisfied of the unconstitutionality or these pret lsiens, and regarding thorn as net being se connected and interwoven with the ethor sections as, II round Invalid, te vitlale the en tire measure, I luitodetenniuod tocemmend thomte the attention of the Heuse with a view te an immediate amendmeut ol'the bill If It should be doeiuod necessary, and 11 it Is practicable at this late day lu the session of Congress. The lad, tee, that the bill does net take ellect by its terms until ninety days bate ohipted after its approval, thus leaving it but ene mouth In operation boTero the uext ses sion et Congress, when, II time dees net new permit, tbe safety and efficiency of tlie measure may be abundantly protected by remedial legislative action and the desire te soe realized the beueflelnl results which it is expected will immediately rollew the Inaug uration of this legislation, hate had their in in lluence in determining my elllcial action.
