Don't presume that any animal, or product, you
may own is inferior to others that will be here,
and be thus deferred from bringing them, as it is
only by comparison that the relative merits ofany
thing can be determined. The safer presumption
for you to arrive at, will be that what you have

make it matter of pride to display your machl-

SiK s-Ansr Consulting many persons Interested in

thori.s The Post Oaics B.psrtmsnt to contract for
the perpetual use OF Railroads, and, instead Of
PAYING ~ now. quarterly on contracts for four
years, TO advance ia i've per cent. bonds of the
United SsEtsss chargsahle upon the revenues Of
he Pcat Ofkce Dspsrtment,an amount, the nte-
rest upoa which y per cent. would equal tie
payments now made.
Tie government now pays $500 per mile for
carrying the mail on first class Railroads. This
is 6 per cent. on $4,000. The undersigned would
urge that, instead of paying $500 mile, per an
mum, the Department should deliver, on acontract
perpetuity, five VI 900 bonds, bearing an int
rest Of five per centum. AT this rate the charge
upon the Department would be reduced from $500
saved would create sinking fund which will, in Il
fewyears pay offthe Bonds and give the use ofsuch
roads forever thereafter, free Of all charge there
by eifecting vast saving the present annual
expenditures of the Pc Office Department, and
consequent reduction of the rates of postage.
The effect will be no less advantageous to Rail
Road Companies than to the government. For
instance, such contract would give to the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad Company more than
81, 900 900, which would enable that complete its
road at early day, and greatly increase its bust
ness and profits.
But to meet objections and impress the public
mind with proper sense of the benefits to result
from this measure will require concert Of action
and continued astive effort, through the press and
otherwise. The undersigned tender their services
to your Company, expecting reasonable COM
pensation, partly contingent upon the success OF
the measure; and respectfully suggest the pro-
priety of your sending one or more delegates to
this city, on the first Wednesday in December
next, to confer with delegates from other Rail-
Road Companies, as to the details of the propos-
ed arrangement and the best mode ofbringing the
subject before Congress.
Hoping to hear from you at your earliest con.
venience, we are, respectfully, your obi serv't.
