General Butler-Congress fixes tho rate for postal

priaons for carrying them. and they want 20 see 70
ittbat the price of carrying IS somewhat correiafe
with the service performed. There has been strug
gle in the Post Office for to get the rate so hxed
that appropriations shall be Substantially remu-
nerated by postage, but We are getting away
from that gradually. Congress can control
through the Postmaster General the rates for trans
hitting government messages and therefore IL is OF
sequence what the postal rate is SO TAR as
regular appropriations are concerned; but that is
not the case as regards messages OF the public
Mr. MITCHELL think it is putting a great power
in the hands of man. and II might possibly inure
to the disadvantage OF the public
Mr.. Butler-Undoubtedly, but he is always under
high too low the Western Union any individual
Congress and ask for revision OF rates.
You have got to brush somebody. Committees OF
Congress do II, and the Postmaster General is
already intrusted with good deal of power which
generally has been exercised IL the interest OF the
public
Mr.. Barnum-The Postmaster General fix the
rate for any line under this bill Why cannot he hx
it now for the Western Union
General Butlcr--For the that he only
fix it now government business
Mr.. Barnum-Why not give him power to accom-
plish that object?
Mr.. Butler Because am little afraid the West
ern Union Company would plead its immense outlay:
they always plead that their stockholders are widows
and orphans, who must be paid dividend. and that
they now only get fair business profits but when we
get another competing line who will break it
down. by competition we can teach it how cheaply
IL can be done.
In reply to a question by Mr. Dorsey Mr.. Butler
said that the of 1866 only authorized telegraph
companies to transmit telegraph messages for the
public, and the moment you get a telegraph COM
pany to offer serious opposition to the Western
Union it will absorb them. But he did not think
that IL could quite swallow the railroads.
Mr.. Green inquired of General Butler il he knew
how much wire the Western Union had. 1t has
pos 900 miles of line. General Buffers figures would
require it to be built at SIS a mile.
General Butler-Oh, but how is that length of line
calculated? How many wires are on One stretch of
S,UD
duplicated on the poles, while Mr.. Green sought to
convey the impression it was one line. That is one
of the beauties OF Western Union bookkeeping.
They put twelve miles a mile of poles and then
say they have got twelve miles of wire.
