FREE DELIVERY no FARMERS.

The annual appropriations for free
delivery of mails was, until the pres
ent administration, confined to cities
of over 10000 inhabitants. At the
suggestion of Mr.. Wannamaker, an
experiment was made in smaller
towns, enjoying daily mails, but as
yet no country neighborhoods have
obtained the privilege.
Friday, February II, when the
annual appropriation was pending,
Mr.. Watson proposed an amendment,
as follows:
'For free delivery service, inolud-
ing existing experimental free deliv-
cry offices, 81, 254,900, Of which the
sum Of $4,000 shall be applied, un-
der the direction of the Postmaster
General, to experimental free deliv-
cry in rural communities other than
towns and villages"
Mr.. Watson urged that the para
graph proposed to be amended "pro-
vides for the expenditure of 81, 254,
943 for free delivery service. My
amendment reduces the amount of
that expenditure and simply directs
that the Postmaster General shall
apply $4,000 of the appropriation
to experimental free delivery in rural
communities" The following dis
cussion followed:
'sMr. Watson. Mr.. Chairman, the
present law provides for an. expert
mental free delivery in rural commu-
mites; but as I understand it-and
the chairman of the committee, the
gentleman from North Carolina Mr..
Henderson |, makes the same state
ment to the House-the law has been
construed to mean cities, towns and
villages, and there are now in opera
ton experimental free deliveries in
certain towns and villages.
"The law expressly provides for
rural communities, and it seems to
me where the general laws make such
provision there is no hardship in
taking small amount from this ap-
preparation, only $4,000, and appro-
priating it for experimental free de-
livery in absolutely rural communi-
ties, that is to say, in the country
pure and simple, amongst the far
mers, in those neighborhoods where
they do not get their mail more than
once in every two weeks, and where
these deserving people have settled
in communities one hundred years
old and dc not receive a newspaper
that is not two weeks behind the
times.
"The amendment proposes not to
increase thea preparation; it actually
dlminishes it by a nominal amount,
but takes $4,000 of it to be provided
for experimental free delivery in ab-
solutely rural communities, instead
of towns and villages, which the gu
thorities construe to mean rural COM
munities. In other words, | think
that part of the money ought to be
spent in the country, where the law
provides it shall be spent, and having
made this statement, If we can have
another division, and the committee
is against my amendment, I will yield
to It's will"
"Mr. Henderson of North Caro-
lima. Mr.. Chairman, the only law
on the subject at all is in the very

fectly safe to say that there is scarcely
prominent citizen of Georgia who would
not have esteemed such an opportunity
privilege.
Senator Colquitt affixes his name with
much pleasure, and | know that Senator
Brown holds Col. Buck in the highest
esteem, and will express himself strongly
in that line, am confident.
I also hand you herewith letter re-
ceived jnst before leaving Atlanta, which
speaks for itself. The writer, Hon. J. F.
Hanson, is the owner of the Macon
Evening News, large manufacturer,
and outspoken protective-tari1f man Of
large influence.
Personally do not presume to sug.
gest. But, having lived in Georgia for
the past twenty-five years, thoroughly
Identified with the business interests and
ever watchful of the course pursued in
this State by each succeeding Federal
administration, [ know the serious and
unsatisfactory results to the people and
the administration that follows selfish,
unwise, unreliable counsels.
Therefore, if the accompanying papers
will aid you in the selection of reliable,
unselfish and wise counselor, who knows
our people and possesses political as well
as business sense, my object will have
been accomplished.
With the highest consideration, l am,
sincerely yours, IL. l. KIMBALL,

My DEAT@SIR: I am informed that
an effort is being made to secure Cabi-
net position for our mutual friend, Col.
Buck
I do not know that anything could
say would have the smallest influence in
promoting his claims. If, however, I
may be permitted to do so, beg to sug-
gest that his appointment would not
only be worthily bestowed, but would
greatly crafty the people Of this State
without regard to party. If you can
help him hope you will do so, and if
can assist you [ shall be glad of the OPP
portunity. Yours, very truly,

They laid aside $1O0,0O0,00O
Gold to redeem the the Greenbacks.
Thus they put an end to the useful
ness of that much gold. The Green
backs are as good as the Government
which signed them, and the gold was
never put aside to redeem them till
about twenty years after the Green
backs were issued. It was merely a
dodge Of the Contractionists.
Then they secretly stopped the
Coinage of Silver. Partly checked
by the acts Of 1873 and others fol-
lowing, the people have been helped
along until now under their burdens
by the Silver dollars and the Silver
certificates.
There are two kinds of contrac-
ton. One consists in actually de-
strying the money. Our people have
suffered from this to the direct ex-
tent of s1,8o0,000,O 900.
The other kind consists in keeping
the volume of currency fixed and
stationary when the volume of busit
ness is enormously increasing. In
other words, when the amount of
trade demands more money that de-
mand shall meet with no supply

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Having read
several articles in The NATIONAL TRIBUNE
recommending that the National Encampment
be held in Philadelphia, Pa, in 1884, | am
heartily in favor of that proposition. There
are many attractions there which would be OF
interest 10 comrades | well remember the
Volunteer Rcireshment Saloon, so called dur
ing the war, where many soldiers going and
and returning from the seat of war were gwen
a GOOD square meal free OF cost, contributed by
the liberal noble hearted citizens of that city !;
also, what was called the Old Cooper Shop used
for the same purpose. Mr.. Cooper gave nearly
his whole fortune entertaining soldiers passing
through that city to the seat of war; also, the
Volunteer Hospital, opposite the Philadelphia,
Wilmington & Baltimore Railroad Depot, where
any soldier passing through the city who was
taken sick, could be cared for until he was able
TO Tejoin his regiment.
/ was one OF 500 wounded soldiers who was
taken into what was called Broad and Cherry
L. S. Army General Hospital in September,
1862 il being the first lot of wounded soldiers
to occupy that hospital. There are many old
soldiers who will vouch for the generosity of
the people of that city of Brotherly Love, who
would no doubt desire to have the pleasure of
attending the National Encampment next year
in Philadelphia, Pa, and to again visit the
many places Of interest there. LINFIELD,
