Postmaster General Smith calls atten-
tion to the rapid and amazing growth OF
the postal business In all its branches.
In the last fiscal year the gross revenue
was $S9,O126l3, against 1888 3l5, 40 IN $780,
and the gross expenditure s98,053 ,523,
against $50, 5i2SO4. The number OF post
offices was 1900 against 1890. Within
this period the population has Increased
about SO per cent, while the postal bust
general increase of expenditures for the
past year has been little more than the
preceding one.
There was an increase In postal receipts
of nearly $65O0,OO0 over the aggregate Of
1897, which Is cited as a proof that the
country is again prosperous.
The estimate of revenues and expendL-
lures for the fiscal year ending June 90
1860 follows: Total estimated revenues
$fOO S5S, 112; estimated expenditures. $685.
224, 900; deficiency for 1900 estimated, 1926
1888. But for the gross abuse of second
class matter privileges, the deficit would
have disappeared long ago, and Its present
and promised decrease rs in the face of this
abuse.
Discussing rural free delivery. the Rost1
master General says replies TO circulars
sent out suggest some assurance of the
permanence OF the service. A revision and
Encouragement of the service established
prior to 1897 is contemplated.
The most marked advance In volume OF

system was this past year, the increase be-
ing 1900 600 in number, $16,0O0OO0 In money

sion of Congress to correct the evils grow

tive bidding for star route service.
