Telegraph vs.. Mails.


The tendency towards lower rates for
telegraphic service is not only salutary
sign of the times. but it is one that is
fruitful Of topics for thought. The con-
servatism as well as the greed OF capital
is gradually giving away under the pres
sure Of competition, and, whatever may
be done in regard TO the postal telegraph
schemes. there seems 10 be little room 10
doubt that the different companies will
some day force each other 70 give almost
as low rates as can reasonably be desired.
The telegraph is now seldom used for
social aud general correspondence. By
far the largest part Of the telegraphic bu-
siness OF the country comes from business
men and the press CORES Ondents. The
high rates that have heretofore prevailed
have prohibited the use OF the telegraph
for social and personal correspondence, ex-
cept in cases of emergency when the slow
course Of the mailscould not be waited on.
The lower the rates become the more
the telegraph viii be used. 1t is possible
that the day will come when the telegraph
COMPANIES will come into competition
with the Post Office Department. 1t is
much easier 10 write a telegram than a
letter, and il is much more satisfactory to
know that ones message will be deliver
ed at once and not in the indefinite fu-
ture, and an answer received in a few
minutes, when you are sure the relatives
or friends who send it have not yet dis
missed you from their mind. THIS COM
petition with the mails will no doubt be-
come eventually a matter for serious con-
sideration on the part Of the government.
When the time comes that every one will
use the telegraph whenever he can and
the mails only when he must, the Post
Office Department may become a
great burden on the government il
the difficulties are not met promptly and
in the right manner. 1t will be a question
whether the department can be sustained
against telegraphic competition by a
/ further reduction in postage, and when
this competition becomes 50 great as to
/ appreciabIy effect the receipts of the de
/ partment, no doubt the advisabiiity of the
control of the telegraph by the govern
ment will be more strongly urged than il
| is now.
! The average rate for day and night mes
| sages to all points in the union since the
/ recent reduction is now about four cents
I per word. The telegraph can never be
come a real competitor Of the mails unit
the rates are reduced to say one cent pei
/ word for day and a half cent for might
messages TO all parts OF the country. II
may be assumed, therefore, that it will be
some years yet before the telegraphic ser
vice Of the country will seriously affect
/ the receipts Ofthe Post Office Department
It can not be doubted, however, that the
/ day Will come. q
