The Agriculturist anUhe Oleo Dealer Draw Tattle Lines. BOX. W. A. STOXE OX WOOL PEOTECTIOX The road qncstion was the principal topic of discussion in the farmers' Institute at Tarcnfum yesterday. The DisrATCH is responsible for it. Yesterday it reminded the members of the institute that it was for getting the most vital question,and when the convention opened yesterday morning the road Question was brought up, and it was all Chairman McCnllouph could do to get it ttopped to give place to the other topics. The oleomargarine question was also brought up, and lines were drawn between the larmers ot that district and the mer chants of Tarentum which never will be re moved. It is well know n that the Farmers' Alliance was behind the arrests ot the Tarentum dealers of oleo some weeks ago. For this reason it was held by some that it v. as poor policy to bring the matter up. Good Road Necessary for Good Farming. Itobert Anderson, of Harrison township, opened the discussion yesterday with a talk on "Shams and Special Privileges as S -en Tliroujrh the Eyes of Common feense." Mr. Anderson commenced by talk on oleomargarine. Skipping on he caught up with the great menace to ?ood farming. lud roads. "The present roads are one of tlio pieatest diawbacks to successful Jarmmg. It is penerally the case that a iarmer has to take his products from 10 to 15 unlet, to market. In this he is handi capped bv the bad thoroughfare?. -As a gen eral thing the niaikct is at the best during the winter and firing months. But at thee times it is nearly impossible to go more than ten miles in a day and return. Then yon cannot take a load of any size. The conse quence ol thi is people living alone the railroads set their farm products Into the markets when the prices are the bet. When tpring comes and the road get fairly pass able, we larmers can then get into town, but the price i so low it does not nay ns. "The State gives aid to the" schools, both public ana normal, the hospitals and other institutions, while the farmer gets nothing to aid him. He is compelled, though, to con tribute in the way of taxes to all these things. l'avicc the Country With Liquor Fees. "ir the State of Pennsylvania cannot ap propriate money to assist the farmer In making better roads, there are other ways of doing something to help the cause. I think it nothing more than right that the liquor licenses of 1'ennsylvania in their entiicty be turned over to make better roads. It would be a drop in the bucket. Then the farmer could contribute, but not be alone, for he is not the only one who uses the roads. I think everyone who has cause to travel should bo compelled to con tribute." Many of the farmers thought the State should advance all the money, but such an idea was not favorably received by all of tlioie present. The State Sbonld Sot Do It AIL V.". U. IL lliddle, or Butler, Pa., was pres ent and t:e us with the above class. "Since the State has been appropriating money for schools." said he, "the residents of many of the rural districts have acquired wiong lews of the matter. They think the money i intended to keep up the schools and they do not need topay any taxes. This is wrong. The appropriation is made for the better ment 't the schools and the lengthening of t'ie terms. The State's aim is to give this I money with the intention that the tax- J payer will also ive aid. If the Stato was ! to appropriate stent sums of money to the j vpiiuiiaing oi tiiorouguiarcs, tne larmor in i mnuy utHiiuis nuuiu iuul uu it miuceuuiD liglit as the school appiopriation. "I think one of the greatest drawbacks to pood ro.id making is the present law, or rather the absence of law. Every road su pervisor ha- his own ideas of buildfng roads and few ot them ai'e cood. Yith hun dreds if diireient roadmakers and different ideas tje Highways cannot be kep't in good order. 1 think tuo Legislature should pass. n law deciding on a uniform system of mak ing road, and then let the farmers and others be taxed for their making and main tenance." J. Nickol. of Westmoreland, followed. "I lielieic," said he, "the farmers should bo taxed tofceep up the roads, and men should lie paid to do the woilc I am opposed to having fanners who know nothing about highways at work ou them."' Vfhere Bad Koads Are Unknown. H. E. McDanicls, of Taientum, was present- For a number of years he had lived in the State of Indiana, where a bad road is not known. "In Indiana," ho said,"where the land own ci s adjoining a line of public road desire to grade and gravel the road they draw up a jie-Uion and have it signed by a majority of 1 he owners. The County Commissioners al low the prayer of tho petitioners, and order the County Mirveyor to survey the line and make a profile and specifications, with an c -innate ot the cost. This is pro rated uniong the landowners, amounting to $2 per ocic upon land directly adjoining the line, down to 25 cents per acre, extending two miles back. The Commissioners let tho contract at stipulated rates per mile, and bonds are isued lor payment for building tl.eline. The land owners pay the tax in installments and lessen the buiden of taxa ti n. "'The road bed is made from one to two feet higher than the common level, while the gutter is at least one toot deep. The center ot the load is oval in foim, and cov ciod with IS inches of bank gravel. This in a sl.ort tuue packs smoothly and becomes iciv hard and durable. For a single track load the gravel 1 put on nine tect wide, v Inch settles on each side to make a track w ido enough to admit the passage or wagons. Twelve leetwideis lequned tor a double Hack. This becomes about 15 in width, ad mitting two teams driving abreast. Where i.i jvel is not obtainable crushed stone can bj used. This should bo put on not less ti an Is or CO inches deep. Tho load bed need only be made of clay. Having tho gut te'sdeep enough, with proper outlet, the water soon leaves the road and is not md soi bed by capillary attraction, keeping the rond rtrv." J. XicKols of Westmoreland county, next lead a .apcr on "Pietection to the Agri cultural Interests of America." Eev. J. F. Coi-e also talked on the subject. Tackled the Oleomargaiine Question. T. 1. rieeson, ot Tarentum, opened the question of "Should tho law Piohibit ing the sale of Oleomargarine be Kepealed?" nhe fact that this subject would bo biotiglit up had been heralded about tow n and a large number or the citizens were pie-ent to hear the discussion. This is an interesting question to the people of Tarentum rroui the (act that. there havo been a number or arrests theie for selling oieoinarKarmo. The town peopleare in favor ot the selling of oleomargarine and against thepioduct of the faun. For this leason the discussion grew quite animated. Mr. Fleoson said- "Theie is not enough butter made In the State of Pennsylvania t supply uiic-iimu hi mu population. Tho 1 rmers say butter cannot be made with V'ofit tor less than 40 or 50 cents a pound People cannot afford to pay these prices and the best thins they"cau do is to buy oleoinarg aiine. This article has had much said a -ainst it, but it has never been scien tifically judged injurious. 'Tnis is a tree country and no one has a ru-'lit to say a man shall not buy oleomarga iine. I do believe it should bo plainly stamped, and I also think it is right to tax the stult. This should be donesolarmeis Oil1 ci.inpeto with it. I think that the most contemptible Legis latutc ever sitting In Pennsyltaina was the one which passed the oleomargarine law. 1 'ie mosr righteous thing the next LegUla tuie could do is to tepeal tho law." Defending the Tanner's Position. J. C Johnston followed and teada paper defending the tanner and severely con demning oleomargaiine. He was against t1 e rcpinling of the law, and denounced oleo eeillnii as a highly criminal offense. The discussion them waxed warm, and A. M'luie took the floor against oleomargarine. Vn oleo dealer," said ho, "is no better than n ii.an who serves a term in tho Western Penitentiary for highway robbery. I was i. it bv a gentleman In Pittsburg, and a i, ember ol the select Council of tnat city, tnat the retusc ot slaughter houses and d'.d dogs weie used in the manufacture of oleo." Mr. Flecson was on his feet in an instant. Saul he: "Any man in Taientum who would take the word of a Pittsburg Councilman oaht to bo m the insane asylum. Wo want better authority." Here the oleo side of the house ho-rled. From that on the oountry butter and the anti-country butter factions carried on a warfare of words. In the evening Congressman Stone made a speech on protection to the wool indu try. He was well received, and impressed his constituents very favorably. He said: Sheep From a Historical Standpoint. "Ever since the world began sheep have been the companions of man. Able was a keeper of sheep, and Jacob served seven years as a shepherd for T-eah and Rachel. Sheep have not only been companions, but they have supplied the wants of man. Their wool and hide help to defy the frost of win ter, and there is no industry upon which so much depends as the wool-growing business o'tho woild. "Sheep can bo grown in most any climate. Ten sheep can be kept for what one cow would cost Even at the present prioe of wool, and it's very low.more net cah can be gained than from any product of the farm. As a general thing theie are five pounds of wool to each fleece, and sometimes they run ns high as 10 or 12. Suppose a man can keep eight or ten cows; at the same ratio he will maintain 100 sheep. "Anew industry has sprung up, which very seriously Interferes with the tanners' butter. It is that of tnannlacturine oleo. It has i educed the price of butter. Hore is ii here sheep trrowin? is in the superiority over catue. lou cannot imitate wool, nor the spring Iamb. Since it is impossible to counterfeit, the price and market will always be good. Tho Protection of American Wool. "The principal thing I wish to speak to you of is the protection of the Industry. I do not want to touch too much on the politi cal side, but siaiply show you the profitable ness of the industry under proteotive tarifl. Ever since 1S10 w e havo had a duty on wool. At some time it was higher than others, so a little review of history is neces sity. In 1S67 a tariff largely increased the duties on wool. What was the result of the tariff laws passed in 1SS77 It takes Irom one to five years before the effect of a tariff is known. From 1S71 to ls85 the sheep in this country increased Irom 32 000.000 to 50 000,000. In 1SS3 the duty was reduced. In 1S83 the effect commenced to be felt,and the number ot sheep decreased to 12,OOJ,O0O. This shows that the industry is most prosperous under high tariff rule. In 1890 came the present tariff. During the year ot 1891 tho fleece 3 leldors ot America increased 1,500,000. Tho Farmers' Only Market. "The only market the fanner has is with the manufacturer. The looms and spinning wheels have long since been banished with the relics of antiquity. I doubt whether there is a loom in all or Allegheny county. The faimcrcan sell and buy cheaper than though he wero his own manufacturer. To day the farmer buys most everything he uses, even his food. In olden times his only purchases weie a little coffee and susar. He must devise some scheme to produce cash, and it seems to me the most profitable method is in the giowth of sheep. "We are told that if the duty is taken off wool, a lower price In cloth will be attained. To-dav, n ith all the great steamship lines of the Atlantic, it is cheaper to land wool in Boston irom European countries than it is to bring it by rail from the Missouri river. Wool can bo grown cheaper in Australia than it can in the United States. The argu ment then is free wool. Good Prospect for Wool Growers. "The factory investment of America is S3M, 000,000. These manufactories will construct clothes out of foreign wool just ns cheap as out of American. I hold that it is necessary to the farmer that hokeep the duty on wool. If it conies off there might be a reduction in the price of clothing, but the wool industry would no uestroyeu. "There is still a largo supply of wool on hand, and tho tariff laws of ie9l"have not had a chance to show their effect. Soon the price of w ool will go up. I say again the wool industry can only flourish by proper protection." IIOOKor the Ocean and what has been found out about it In THE DISPATCH to morrow.

The bailey yield is estimated at 78 per cent of last year's crop: rye at 76 per cent; corn at 85 per cent, and trult at 71 per cent. The Sugar Trust is beginning to fear the result of the determined warfare against it by wholesale grocers all over the country and especially those of .Philadelphia and New York.

Secretabt Hester's weekly New Orleans cotton crop statement shows a decrease dur ing the week of 6,916 bales under the seven days ending April 8 last year. This makes a decrease ot 3 392 marketed during the first eight days of April, as compared with last season, bringing the increase of the cotton crop marketed to date to 422,356 bales over last year. The Minneapolis mills last week ground 1S3.969 barrels averaging 30,663 barrels daily, against 166,090 barrels the previous week, 122.390 barrels for the corresponding time in 1691, and 11,610 barrels In 1890. There were 17 mills running Thursday, making about 30,000 barrels per 21 hours. The flour trade ap pears to have been a trifle less favorable tor a week back than during the week befoie. The Cleveland Iron Trade Review thinks there is some improvement in the situation. Consumption is steadily maintaincd.and the restriction of production Is beginning to bo counted on asa factor even though it lias had no effect as yet upon prices. There has been a steady movemont of ore from the docks in the past few weeks to eke out furnaco needs on contracts almost completed and the 1st of May promises to show piles well pulled down.

A rumor is credited in Chicago that Marvin Hughitt, now President ot the Chicago and Northwestern Railroad Company, is to be the next President or the Union Pacific. This would mean a practical consolidation of the two systems under Vanderbilt con trol. Chairman Fihlet, of the Western Passen ger Association, has decided that the cut rates now in effect between Chicago ana Ohio river points must not be used by West ern roads as basing rates, although tendered as such by the Chicago and Ohio river lines, except Irom such points as he has author ized to meet outside competition.

How Congressmen Pat In Their Time at Might Session A. National Farce From Blae to Fall of Curtain A Catt-Down Last Night. "Washington, April 8. The curtain in the House evening session rose at 8:30 and dropped at 10:30. Between the rising of the .curtain and the fall of the same, the usual 3?rida7 night farce was enacted. Mr. Martin, of Indiana, Chairman of the Committee on Invalid Pensions, vainly endeavored to impress upon the House the idea that the evening session was not ordered lor amusement, but for busi ness. But a little tragedy was also inter jected by Mr. Butler, of Iowa, who rose to say that the members who- had spoken ' at length were not in favor of pension legisla tion. Mr. Smith, of Illinois, who had spoken for nearly an hour, said if the gentleman referred to him his statement was not true. Mr. Butler replied that he did refer to the gentleman. Mr. Smith referred to the liecord as a sub stantiation of his position. Mr. Butler retorted that the liecord was a record of wind instead of voting. Mr. Pickler, of South Dakota, appealed to the House to cease this boys' play. It was not worthy of the Representatives of the American people. The gentleman irom Texas (Mr. Kilgore), who was one of the speakers, had, he said, wasted more of the people's money in obstructing the busi ness of the House than would pay every pension claim in the calendar. Nothing being accomplished, the lights were Extinguished. A. FlRST-CL VSS room waits you'n tho to let rooms, oent-a-word advertising columns of tho Saturday and Sunday DISPATCH. THE G. A. B.

This afternoon "W. B. Haneiahan, of the Hotel Brunswick, went up to an Alderman, shook a 51,000 roll of bills in his face and accused the Alderman of having held it al most a month, with many more rolls. The Alderman .denied it. The hotel man said that a wholesaler turned over the money to the Alderman and had got it back that afternoon, the promised license not mate rializing. The Alderman threatens to take legal steps. A Group of Attractions the world over.
