Is there a practical solution to
the county road problem? After
years and years of inactivity- the
whole country at last is aroused
to the fact that good roads, at all
seasons of the year, are the
greatest blessings that can be
given any community in the way
of public improvements. Every
community that has secured good
roads, leading to its chief town,
county seatorcommfrcialcenter,
no matter how great has been the
cost, has found the increase in
land values and the higher stimu
lus given to business to far out
weigh all arguments about econ
omy and high taxef. Thousands
of dollars are wasted?thrown
away every year in Harrison
county in feeble attempts at road
repairing, or in other words in
scraping a lot of clay to the
center of the pike, in the sum
mer, in order to provide the "raw
material" for a "hub-scraping"
muJ hole the following winter.
If these roads were properly
graded, drained and macadam
ized once ihey could be kept in
repair for a very small sum an
nually. Let us close our eyes
and imagine good roads leading
from every part of the county
to Clarksburg. It i$ not possible
in the space at our disposal to
enumerate the manifold advant
ages that would result. Such
improvements would cost a lot
of money, it is true, but the tax
payers could well afford it. The
work could be commenced and
carried forward each year. Why
not improve 2 miles of the main
roads leading from the county
seat the first year, and two miles
each succeeding year until a good
road penetrated every section of
Harrison county? Could there
be an objection to this plan? It
would certainly benefit the en
tire county and could not be op
posdd on the ground of being for
any favored community.
Mr. Henrv Watterson who
is recognized as the author of the
Democratic platform of 1892,
gives the following explanation
of the Democratic idea in this
week's Courier-Journal, of which
he is the versatile editor. Com
ing from Mr. Wattersen it ought
to be purely Democratic. Read
it my farmer friend,my esteemed
laboring man?read it and tell us
how it "strikes you:"
Mr. Cleveland is no more his
own platform than he is his own
party. He stands where his
party placed him. on a free-trade
platform, and his public utter
ances are in perfect accord with
the principles of an enlightened
and a dis-enthralled Democracy.
Now the party approaches the
time when it must put its creed
into deeds. It has control of the
Executive and Legislative de
partments. It must provide an
enormous revenue. It must sub
stitute revenue for protective
duties, and relieve the tax payers
of all tribute to those organiza
tions which have usurped the
power of government and have
plundered the people without
compassion or remorse.
Abolish the sugar subsidy, and
raise 525,000,000 by a sugar tax.
Raise, if needed, $25,000,000 by
a tax on coffee, and 'if there is
still a yawning chasm between
receipts and expenditures, which
economy can not bridge, raise
$25,000,000 by a tax on tea.
Then give us a revenue tariff
on woolens, on linen, on cutlery,
on carpets, on clothing, on tools
of every kind and on household
utensils of all descriptions. Then
