The people of this country must
have been prosperous in 1899, as the
statistics of the postoffice department
show that they wrote more letters and
sent more mail matter that year than
ever before in the history of the United
States. Yet Mr.. Bryan predicted that
if Mckinley was elected the average
citizen would not have enough money
to buy a postage stamp. Yet the
people of this country paid the postal
department the vast sum of $95, 900, 900
in 1899, or nearly $40, 600, 900 more than
they paid in 1898, and over $4,000, 900
more than they paid in 1898.
