ing that it is not only a constitutional privi-

says upon these two points:

patent expires, and unless Congress acts
promptly to authorize its adoption for com
munication among the people, il requires no

the next two years one immense syndicate

According 10 a careful estimate, based on
the total postage received in 1890, the Post
master General shows that the reduction Of
letter postage to uniform rate Of cent
would cause the department a loss Of not
less than 81, 100000, and says: i have
heretofore stated that l-cent postage will be
successfully demanded in time. believe
that time is not far of. II certainly ought
nor TO be asked for so long IS any deficit
appears in the revenues Of the postal service,
and here I wish 10 reiterate the further state
ment that in my judgment il ought not 10
be asked for then until many improvements
and extensions of the service are provided
for. 1t would not be just and fair to a ser
vice upon which every effort has been spent
for two years to make it self sustaining, aud
which now promises to become 50 in the
