them away from New York and Brook

This assertion was disproved by figures
presented by both the Postmaster-
General and Mr.. Bates, &c.
This report il incorrect. My
assertion was not disproved and cannot
be disproVed. The Postmaster-General
did not claim that tho Western Union
charged more for Government than for
messages of the public. What he did
say was that he thought the rates of
his order last year. which
would permit companies not the West

panies, to charge more in somo in
stances than We're charged 10 the public,
IN reply TO which, il was stated, that II
proyiso in the order itself, stipu-
lated that the Government should
not in any case, be compelled To
pay more than the public. Mr.. Bates,
who represented the United telegraph
lines, then stated that the Mntual Union

company, and had offered TO send mes
sages for the public to Chicago
for twenty cents, and give that
as an instance where the pub

rates than the government. l asked

were not subject to government rates,
and II the government did not get the
benefit of the reduction. lie said, "Oh,
that is theory" | replied; at is prac-
