he represented the people.

postage as being large factor IN the
education of the people.
Mr.. Harvey contended that the gov
eminent paid the railroads too mucn
for carving the mails. 1t now paid
$50. OOO, 900 a year. and this might, he
said, be cut in half. The rate now paid
was equivalent to $50 a ton, which
was more than was paid for freight;
and. after all, mail matter was nothing
more than fast freight. The spirit
behind the Loud bill was, Mr.. Harvey
said. a danger to public institutions.
II was the first step toward press cen
sorship. If the man who drew the bill
had been broad-mindeosh he would never
have made such a wholesale stroke at
literature as appears in his bill.
Mr.. Orr of the Agricultural Press and
Mr.. David Williams of the Trade Jour
nal spoke in favor of the bill.
Mr. Charles T. Root of New York
and Mr. E. F. Eilert, president of the
