THE COMBINE BLOCKED.

ii Keeps the united states busy to
protect ITSELF against the schemes Of
rascals who spend their lives in echem-
ing and planning to rob the govern
ment which gives them and their prop
erty protection. Washington advices
inform us that the Post Office Depart
ment has discovered the existence OF a
combine OF speculative mail contract
bidders looking to the control OF the
bids and evasion of the 5O-cent war tax
imposed on their contract bonds. Some
weeks ago the department was APP
preached with a view To ascertaining
It's attitude on such organization, and
prompt notice was given that It would
be regarded as illegitimate. Notwith-
standing this. the department authors
ties have found that a considerable
number OF these bidders or agents have
gotten together, formed an arrange
ment for opening their own bids, and
selecting ostensibly the lowest for Ill
ing with the department, suppreesing
the others, and thus also saving the
revenue accruing to the government
from the large number OF competitive
bids submitted. Some idea of the in
terests involved may be gained by the
fact that under contracts to be let UNI
der the general advertisement Of Sep
tember 10 last, TO which the organiza-
ton OF these bidders Immediately
looks, over 100000 bids ordinarily
would be submitted FOR contracts for
carrying mails on routes in Ohio, Indi-
ana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Min
nesota, Iowa and Missouri. The con-
tracts are to be for four years from
July /, 1899. The following official
warning to bidders generally was is
sued to meet the emergency:
This office hereby warns all parties
interested that in it's opinion such ac-
ton wouldbe in violation Of the statute
which provides that No contract for
carrying the mail Shall be made with
any person who has entered, or pro-
posed to enter. into amy combination 70
prevent the making OF any bid for
carrying the mail, or who has made
any agreement, or given or performed
or promised to give or perform, any
consideration whatever to induce any
other person not to bid for any such
contract The provisions OF this law
WIFI be strictly enforced.
Furthermore, one Of the purposes Of
the proposed arrangement admittedly
is to defeat the object Of the act oi
June /, 1898, which requires revenue
stamp to be affixed to each bond &C
campaigning a proposal for mail ser
vice. For this reason, also, the pro
posed scheme lie condemned by the de
pertinent"
This order applies to bidders for tn
Delaware routes as well as to al
Others, and the government is to b.
congratulated on it's activity in block
ing the combine.
