MIR. WANNAMAKER'S REPORT.
Postmaster General Wannamakers
Annual Report for the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1889, has just been
issued and received ut this office.
The r-por. Is very able one. aud
shows Mr.. Wannamaker's good sense
and business management. Some OF
his Statements and recommendations
arc Of general interest to the reading
public, and much in regard to that
important department Of government
can be learned.
He states that to the Postmaster
General Of tho United States is com.
mitted the management Of the largest
business concern in the world, con.
sisting OF central establishment
with almost 10000 branches, and en-
plo,ing over 100000 people. The
capital in use in carrying o" this vast
business wa, last year 81 to each
man, woman and child in the United
States; but, nevertheless, the postal
service is not money making con
Germ, aud it is a mistake to expect 1t
70 be self sustaining until it is fully
perfected.
The postoflice is the visible form of
the Federal Government to every
community and to every citizen. 1t
brings the Government to every door
in the land aud makes it the ready
and faithful servitor Of every interest
Of commerce aud society. The peo-
pie, by whose encouragement alone
it can supply their jealous needs
simply want the system administered
50 that it shall offer them more and
more accommodations aud tax them
les. and less. The method he sug-
Ees,s to CRAFTY this drs'r', is not
merely to talk abou. the application
OF business principles to the Depart
ment. but to really apply item. 1t
