WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-To TRIBUNE cor
respondent today spectng the proposition to reduce

ment said: think the time has not yet arrived to
make that may safely done three years hence
probably. While 1t is anomaly TO charge two cents
carrying letter aud delivering 1t IN the city where
1t was mailed and the same time taking letter, say
from Boston to San Francisco and delivering 1t for the
same sum- 1t should not be forgotten that the free dev
cry system as whole Is luxury which requires the
employment Of special force Of men for the Denent
mainly OF minority of the people Besides II the post
age drop-leers should be reduced another anomaly
would be tue result Tue sender OF q letter to small
post Office would be required to pay twice us much az
who dropeter, while In one case the recover
would be- required to go send TO the post ONCE Tor
1t and in the other case 1t would be DENY
cred at his door. Might this not cause complaints
among people outside OF the cities which enjoy the
advantages of the res-delyery system. The time will
come and hope soon when the revenues Of the De-
partment will Justify reduction. 1t would como
sooner except for the readustment Of SAL
aries by the last Congessa measure fear which was
not very well considered and the effects Of which upon
the postal revenues will be quite serious Except
for that I do not believe the deficiency for the
current fiscal year would have reached $3,000.00O
The free delivery service cost for the year
ended June0 1892 and the receipts from local postage
in the free delivery cities amounted to S3 Sl6,o76. In
eighteen cities the local postage equaled or exceeded

a half times as much Ii ought forgotten that
