Pope of JtoHtnii to-dny, by request, delivered an mldress on the subject of rosidH before the JJonnl i f Trade. Col. Pope tmid In Kubntanre: It lina already been my , privilege to upralc in youroHy upon the bene fit of good matin to an Important branch of trade. lluttherel.su higher and broader view to take of the whole matter, and wo may well consld r the Im portance of good ioii da to us as Americans, uh men of whatever so cial or business Intel es h, us property owners, unit dually as citizens of our respective localities. The influence of good roads toward tho development uud Increase In value of the agricultural regions will hardly bo questioned. The advantages of improvements are not confined to the proprietors or to those living Immediately upon any road, but are shuied by all who avail thriiitfolvcH of the increased facilities. Agriculture is both diiectly and indirectly dependent, In a great de gree, upon good roads for Its success and rewards. Directly, us these roads c.irry tho production of tho fields to tho mar ket, and bring to them In return their bulky and weighty materials, at a cost of labor which glows less as tho roads become better. Indirectly, as the cities and towns whose douse population and manu facturing Industry make them the best markets for farming produce are enabled to grow and to extend themselves indefinitely, by roads ",. mono, which supply ino niaco oi V v - . . ---.- rivers; to tho banks of which these great towns would otherwise be uccessurlly confined. "While, therefore, it might bo an mexcusublo wabto of monoy to con struct a costly road to connect two small towns which had little Inter course, It is equally wasteful, and is a much moro frequent shortsighted ness of economy, to leave unimprov ed, and almost. In a state of nature, the communications, between a grout city and the Interior from which Its dully sustenance is drawn, and into which Its own manufactur- t- ers una merchandise are conveyed. Tho nrosnert v of auv eltv denonds largely upon the surrounding coun try, and the better the road facili ties, tho faster tho country will grow in population and the moro business tho city will have In supplying their wants. Somo of the advantages thus to be attained have not long since been well Hummed up In a report of a commute of tho English House of Commons; "lly the Improvement of our roads every branch of our ugdeultuiul, commercial, and mumifacluilng In dustry would be materially IhuioIU (ed. "Every article brought Into mar ket would be diminished In price; uud tho number of horses would be so much reduced that, by theound other retrenchments, tho expense of millions pounds sterling; would be annually saved to tho public. "The expense of repairing roads and tho wear and tear of carriages and horses would lie essentially di minished, and thousands of acres, the produce of which Is now wasted Id feeding unnecessary horses, would be devoted to tho production of fosd for man. It Is always economy to spend enough to begin with to secure the beat results, and It always costs less in tho long run. A good road should cost moro to build than a )oor one, but it Is often tho cast) that u poor raid costs us much as a good ono would. Hut even a good ono is moro expensive, it will be caster and cheaper to keep in good repair, and will last many years longer; while its advantages and the savings to those who dally uso it, will very much more than compensate them for the extra ex pense they have have put In the building. Mr, Etwin ChadwU. jwklnjri on this subject, at the Institution of Civil Engineers, remarked: "In tho present condition of (Jie country, it Is of vast Importanco to reduce the cost of transmit to the uttermost. If by the Improvement of the rural roads, four horses could be enabled to do tho work of five, tho saving of tlie country in agri cultural horses would not be less than seven million n year." A mile of good macadamized road Is more easily supported than a poor horse. Prof. Jcnks says: "On Illinois roads u full load for a two-horse team can be carried for three months of the year, two-thirds of a loud for three months, and lialf a load for six. Goul loads are then unquestlon. ably cheaper to maintain and to use than poor ones. It Is wife to say that a perfect road once laid down will cost fur less to keep In repair from year to year, at the end of twenty years will have required a far smaller total expend iture than a poorer mud costing hulf as much and Improperly made. A propcly built highway, con structed upon any one of the sys tems accepted as the best for their various purposes unti locations, must necessarily be made with a solid and firm foundation, effectually separat ing tho surface from the soil below. It should be thoroughly drained, and provided with water-courses at the Bide, and a hard and compact surface, as smooth 'as the nature of, its composition will admit of, and free from mud, dust, and loose stones. To reach this degree of peifectlon, the best obtainable materials must be used. It requires good labor, ample time in construction, and above all, the science and skill of a professional engineer, whose busi ness Is road making. Certain kinds of roads are accept ed as the best under certain condi tions. For the country, it is essen tial to make uso of such material as nature furnishes for each locality, but more attention should be paid than generally Is, to tho first princi ples laid down by such roud builders as Macadam and Telford; so far, certainly, as they provide for thor ough drainage,aud for homogeneous, even surfaces of tho best materials within reach, and then for syste matic care and repair. Country roads needs bo no wider than is absolutely necessary for the accommodation of tho traffic uud travel that will come upon them. In many places a roml wide enough for a single team, is all that is ucc ssary with suitable turnouts, for it is unwise and expensive to attempt to maintain a country roadwav wider than the requirements of the com munity demand. The sides can be grassed down, making the road more agreeable to the eyo aud a source of comfort in tho greater free dom from dust. For suburban roads nothing can bo better than what is known as Macadam system with firm and well-drained foundations' six or eight inches of crushed stouo, ns near as possible to uniform slzu, from one to two inches in diameter, very compactly pressed down by a steam roller, and with a thin crust of lino gravel on top. A broad and well-shaded street contributes more than sonip of us rcalllzo to tho attractiveness and health of a city. What can be more beautiful than such avenues as Del aware of lluflulo, Euclid of Clove laud, Woodward of Dotrolt, In their best portions, tho splendid and con stantly Improving streets of our na tional capital uud Commonwealth avenue and Beacon Htiect In our city, atlordlng us they do, a most appropriate setting for the tlnest ro HuU'fijof tho architect's skill, each example of which leads on to greater and better efforts in a spirit of Hlvulry which is tho healthiest sign of a city's vigorous prosperity amljrowth. While the Macadam system is durable, and by all means the most comfortable and satisfactory for Its cost forstreets immediately outlying tho city proper and for thoso used principally for pleasure driving; in the central business portions, where more active trufllo is to be provided for, where commerce plants her heavy foot, and tho wear and tear are considerable, there are no better and more appropriate pavements than granite blocks, or perhaps the best grades of fire brick, where tho streets have the roughest usage or are liable to disturbances by those dreaded nuisances, tho street gangs of the water uud sower department. Aud between the suburbs and the business part of the city where tho traffic Is the heaviest, asphalt pave- iiuent will be found to be very desir able aud probably the best. In the matter of cleaulluess aud comfortable use, tho smoother the surface tho better, and for your city I I believe asphalt should bo tii-ed ' wherever practicable, Its noUeless. ness is a desirable feature, and Its more general uso In our city streets wll have a very bvnellclul elleot on the nerves, and, lu cou'qucncc, theireuerttl health of our butJness ud prafMiloiMl uitp, uud all yliatjFff&?m"Kwa' J have occasion to endure the inces sant noise of the busy street. A thing that Is worth doing at all, is worth doing well, and thorough ly, at once; and so I believe that tho best thing for you to do Is to deter mine, through the proper channels, how much it will cost to properly pave all of your most important streets, raise the amount necessary by hssuingbonds running twenty-five or thirty years, or for longer time If it seems best. Have the work done us it should be; remove it as fur as possible from politics, under the t-je of n htedul and competent engineer, whose busi ness Is road construction. Let him be watched mid guided by your Superintendent of Streets, or your Citizens' Committee, or whom you will, to make mro tfint your money is spent in the iij;ht direction These puvtmcuis, once laid, will last lonuer I htm von and I. They will give saMsucliou to 1 who use tlieiu, will bring cred tup on your city, mid Ihelrsaving alone, annually put by lu aMnking fuud, will, by the time your bonds art due, be sufficient to take them up and leave a large surplus. If you cannot accomplish this whole scheme, do what you can of it, begluing at once, and lay us much pavement In 1890 as you can raise money for, Uit as far as you go, do it right. As a result of elaborate experi ments, made to ascertain the rela tive resistance of friction of different pavements, It has been established that while 200-pounds force is re quired to draw ono ton over an ordi nary dirt road, 100 pounds will do the same work on Macadam, thirty three on best granite blocks, and fifteen asphalt.

Such practical tests nro so startllogly convincing as to bo almost sen sational. It Is stated that two of tho active principles of the new remedy belong to tho vcgctablo kingdom of California, and aro so well known to us all under common names that It would surprlso us if told them. But wo are not surprised at anything Colifomlan, and this recent discovery of tho now medici nal virtues of Its vcgctablo kingdom is but another lnstanco of tho astonishing possibili ties of a soil and climate llko ours, School Tax Notice.
