exceeds the numerical increase Of population

The postal system of the United States en-
ploys total of 10000 postmasters, and about
l35 600 other employeeS-an aggregate of 205,
900 persons. There are thus more men in the
postal service than in the ranks of the army
and navy and all other departments of the gov
eminent. The magnitude of this department
is almost beyond comprehension. The mail
service handles during the year more than five
thousand million pieces of mail; a number
practically inconceivabie to the mind OF man.
The government of the United States furnishes
and sells to the people every year three thou
sand six hundred millions of various kinds of
postage stamps and postal cards. The esti-
mated income of the postoffice department for
the current year is $S7 200, 600, and the esu-
mated expense S91 600 600; the estimated de-
ficit is thus S4,OOOOOO. Yet in the face of this
deficit, and with many proposed improvements
unattainable for lack of funds, there are
thoUghtless demands for a reduction Of letter
postage to one cent. This would increase the
deficit to over $40 200, 600 year. cripple the
existing service beyond remedy, and postpone
all thought Of improvements for many years
to come. Every postal employe should be a
missionary to teach the community the folly
of demanding "one-cent postage" at this time.
The free delivery service is an integral part
Of this great national postal system. 1t is Of
comparatively recent origin, having been es-
tablished in 1868, but has had a marvellous
growth and gratifying development in eff
cheney. In 1870 there were but seventy-fve
postoffices in the United States. Now there
are seventy thousand. There is free delivery
service, by letter carriers, in 657 of these post
Offices. These uniformed carriers compose in
the aggregate an army Of nearly thirteen thou
sand men, receiving in salaries thirteen mill
ion dollars a year-e7ery cent of which is, by
common consent of all good citizens, honestly
earned Indeed, the entire postal service is a
productive industry. There are no snecures in
it. 1t is not a bureau of extravagant, inert Of
ficialism. Every employe earns his salary.
And Notwithstanding the wonderful cheapness
of postage 1t more than pays its way, making

ADDRESS BY CASTLE.

The following address on the Free De-
livery Service was delivered at a banquet
of the letter carriers of St. Paul, Feb. 25,
by Henry A. Castle, postmaster:
After four years of service as postmaster
of st. Paul, am very glad to avail myself
of this invitation to meet the letter carriers,
with their guests from other Offices and pre-
sent to them such suggestions concerning
their relations to the department and TO the
public as my experience in this position
has inspired. From first to last my inter-
course with the employees of the Office has
been pleasant. 1 shall carry with me into
uniformly courteous treatment of myself, and
the approval at least of my own conscience
as to the intended fairness and Justice of
my conduct toward them. l adopted in the
beginning of my official career, as a guide of
my management, the theory that this post
Office should be run for the benefit of the
public rather than for the convenience of
= employees. Keeping that steadily in
mind, everything that could be done consist
entity with it to impartially favor the workers
in our busy hive has been consistently done.

did the best work; I have had pTejudices
only against those who did their work badly
-and even with these making due allowance
for human imperfectioD. I have dealt pa
tiently until patience was exhausted.
During the four years of my service a total
of one hundred and thirteen persons have
been borne on our rolls carriers and sub
stitutes. OF these only eight have been dis
missed from the service. and only seven
others have been suspended on my motion
Or recommendation. I do not think that any
of you will claim that my yrefps OF discipline
have been too loose The sneeessary' inference
