create a mosopoly of all the parcels bust
ness within the limits as to weight and
bulk it saw fit to make, or it would have a
very troublesome express competition on
the easier routes. no matter what rates
the government established. There would
always be stints which private outside
concerns could do cheaper. and these
would be the ones which the governmest
ought to have to make the service generel-
~ profitable This feature came up in the
transmission of letters. and the govern
ment decided to monopolize the business
so completely that private carrying COM
panies like the Wels-Fargo are obliged to
attach and cascel two-cent stamp to
every letter which they carry. Another
departmental objection to the parcels post
Is the fact that the government IS not
making money out Of its merchandise at
sixteen cents a pound. the present rate,
asd how could 1t expect to cut the price
materially without increasing the already
Cumbersome deficit? The hauls in this
country are long. and the population in
many parts of it much scattered. A par
cells post to be really effective should be
accompanied by a system of complete
rural mail delivery. and yet this is bigger
contract than our departmest has ever
dared to assume.
1t Is also an interesting academic ques-
ton, which Is cheaper for the American
people, to let the express companies make
enormous profits, and entail considerable
needless expense IS covering the same
field with offices and wagons several times
over; or, let the government have a mon
opoly of the business. charging a low rate
and having the average citizen make up
the rest in footing the deficit. 1t goes
without sayfsg that an express company
could do this business cheaper than the
government, If given a monopoly of 1t. It
Is not altogether sure that they could not
do It cheaper under the regime of compe-
tition and large profits. Printing is a bust
ness that Is cosducted with many of the
wasteful features of the competitive sys-
tenn, and yet private printing establish
ments in Washington. paying rent on their
OWN plants, are willing to take goversment
printing at . per cent less than it can be
done for at the government printing-office.
These are matters which will come out in
the discussios Of the parcels post system.

SYSTEM.
Powerful interests Working
Quietly TO Establish 1t.
BUT EQUALLY POWERFUL
Will be the Interests Opposing
Reasons for and Against.

Washington, July IA movement to In
duce the government to go into the parcel
post business is now quietly under way.
Thus far, its promoters here have done
nothing further than to survey the ground.
to see how much support they can get
from the great concerns Of the country
which use extensively the service of the
express companies, in a fight with one
express companies, in fight against those
companies. This is what any attempt TO
establish parcel post would mean. 1t is
assumed that the government would do the
business at lower rates, whether II could
proftaby do so or not, and hence that the
express companies would be driven out of
a certain part Of Their present held. They
would not calmly consent to this. In fact,
the present distinction which our laws
make between third and fourth-class mat
ter is a monument to their influence in
Legislative affairs. Books. circulars, photo
graphs, etc, constituting th.rd-class mat
ter, pay half cent an ounce, while fourth
class matter. commonly designated as

portdtion TO the express companies, as
sixty-four cents for a four-pound package
by mail is generally a non-competltive rate.
rate. At least, the government gets at
this rate only the poorer ends of the busi-
ness. 4 small package, to go from Bangor
to Santa Fe, will usually find its way into
the mails, while a package of the same
size, TO go from Providence to Newport,
will usually be taken at lower rates by
express. Other countries maintain an ex-
tensive parcel-post system, and the sug-
geston has frequently been made that the
United States should follow suit. =
II islaleged that the express companies |
charge exOrbitant rates, and that public
interests would be vastly served by low
price parcel delivery; that 1t would have |
the Same effect upon promoting trade that |
the low rate Of postage has upon letter
writing. By doing all the business, and so
avoiding the Implications OF service which
the five or six EOminaliy competing COM
panies occupying the same territory now
have to pay for. it is maintained that the
government could afford 10 do the business
1t low price. But whether the movement T
n this direction assumes serious proper
ions will depend upon the backing Of the
department stores, patent-medlcine con-
'erns, and all those interests which desire
o conduct a retail trade by mail. One can
lee. by glancing. through the advertise
neKs in any newspaper or magazine,

tied by a cheap Darcel-dalivarv eor,,;co |
