Haven, I assisted in inaugurating the system of free delivery, with boxes, etc One day a gentleman of intelli- gence and standing in the city of New Haven came into my office and asked If it were true that l intended to saddle
 this great expense upon the govern
 ment right in the midst of the war |
 told him ye. MT. Sperry," he replied,
 you ought to be hung. I argued with him and told him that in twelve months the service would pay for itself. And it
 did. To-day the free delivery service
 is one of the greatest sources of reve-
 hue to the government. It stands to
 reason that people will write more let
 ters when they have all the conVen-
 fences and do not have to tramp a mile or more to the postoffice to mall them.
 This isy an example of how free de- livery worked. Why should it not be the same with free rural delivery? Look at Carroll county Maryland, near by here. Something like a year and a half ago I was present at banquet to commemorate the starting of free rural delivery in that county. The depart ment had selected this county for ex- perimental purposes, and the whole county was covered with free rural de- livery, At the time of the banquet I speak of the service had been running for six months, and it paid for itself, after abolishing all the unnecessary lit tie postoffices, within about $190. To day I am informed it Is entirely self supporting. That is what we are com ing to. When this system is running, as the department expects to have 1t, it will pay for itself on account of the increase of business 1t will bring. That has been the history of free delivery, and the records thus far show that ru ral delivery will do the same.
 ITO show you how the people of my district feel about rural free delivery, let me quote to you from a letter just received this morning from rural car rier. He says, among other things; T had an awful time getting around dur ing the blizzard that we had last month, but l plunged out and only missed one day, The town did well by me They got men out with cattle to break the roads and Tuesday I had eight yoke of cattle and one pair of horses ahead of me most all day.
 Would the people do that for con- tractor? I think not. For as the ser l vice now is the people feel that they have a part in it. It belongs to then and they take, an interest in it which they would not, if a private individual had secured the right to deliver the malls.
 My record of twenty-eIght years in h tn1 hoe tor, ,o1,t | thing about postoffice matters. l am in favor of any Improvements that are really demanded and would be of bene- fit to the service, but the change pro- posed by this bill is not demanded. nor would it be of benefit to the postal ser vice in by judgment"

VIGOROUS ADDRESS

In the House Yesterday by Congress
 man Sperry on Free Rural Mail De
 livery
 vigorous speech yesterday in the House on the subject of free rural mail deliye ". He spoke against the pending bil to place the carriers of rural delivery under the contract system. MT, Sper. ry was listened to with great deal o1 attention, as he is recognized among his colleagues as one of the best informed men on postal affairs in the House. At the conclusion of his speech which was short and to the point, he was applaud ed and many members congratulated him on his speech.
 MT. Sperry spoke as follows: The bill under consideration here to-day is measure that I cannot fully concur in. The change proposed is to have the ru- ral delivery carriers now in the service, and those to be appointed in the future, come under the contract system. All routes are to be advertised and let out to the lowest bidder We had an expe- rience of this kind under the old star route system. This system became very unpopular. If there is any reason why this plan should work any better in the rural delivery service, I do not know it.
 Tt is urged in favor of this new plan that the routes are unequal. True, but so are those in our large cities, If we are to change the system in the rural communities, why not in the cities? Twenty years ago I became interested in rural free delivery, and wrote many. an article for publication in favor of it. One of the main points I urged was that I could see no reason why the country towns should not be treated as well as the cities The farmer was as much en- titled to his mail every day as the mer- chant. The present delivery service has brought this about, and the country towns and the cities are treated more nearly alike To place the rural car riers under the contract system as pro- posed by this bill, would discriminate between the cities and the country again, and I for one am opposed to it. Both are entitled to equal consideration.
 ''I am of the decided opinion that the present system should be adhered to- It has worked we'll thus far Few com plaints are heard, not as many as one would naturally expect in starting new service. I sincerely hope that there will be. no such change as proposed by this bill The rural carrier system is in it's infancy; let us make haste slowly in proposing changes.
 T can see no immediate necessity for a change now. Give the poor man a chance at these routes on a salary, and as long as he properly performs his du- ties, keep him in the service These carriers have worked hard some of them at least, to build up their routes, and they now begin to see daylight ahead in increased business. They have paid for their outfits They do errands on their routes and receive pay for the same. The better they serve the peo- pie in delivering the mails, the more will ing the patrons will be to give them chance to increase their small pay by doing errands for them.
 Now the bill before us proposes to
The daily morning journal and courier., 1902-03-06

| take away the routes from these car-
 riers, who have struggled so hard to
 build them up, and who are working in
 harmony with the postmasters to make
 the service a success, and give them to
 anyone who may happen to be the low
 est bidder It proposes to make the
 rural carriers contractors, instead or, as
 under the present system, officials or
 the postoffice department and servants | of the people. Our experience with star | routes has proved that these contract 1 ors are not as near to the people as those who are directly connected with l the department, who take an interest l in their daily work and try to do it well.
 q always like to side with my com
 mittee. but in the matter I find myself
 unable to agree with the majority of it. I have not signed the majority nor the minority report, but I reserved the
 right to vote and act as my judgment dictated.
 "So long as the present system of ru ral delivery works we'll; why change it for another? Especially when the post office department does not ask for it, nor do they wish a change in this branch of the service. From my own state, I find the postmasters, who ought to know what is best for their own To- calities, are not favorable to the pro- posed change. I think you will find the same conditions prevail in other states. All the officials in the postoffice depart ment take pride in serving their pat rons properly. Hence they want no change at present. Let well enough alone.
 Ever since I have been in congress there have been before the postoffice committee three bills for the classified ton of the employees of the postoffice de- partment The bills are just and prop CT They do not propose any radical changes, and they should be enacted into law by congress. Yet we have not been able to properly consider them, while this bill, which proposes to revo- lutionize the rural delivery system, is now pressed upon congress. l fall to see the justice, or even the necessity of such a change. There is no demand for it, as far as I can learn. On the con- trary, I feel sure that should the change proposed by this bill be made, you would hear a storm of protests from all over the country.
 q appeal to the members on this floor not to disturb the rural delivery ser vice until there is demand for it. It has taken us twenty years to get the service started, It is now in a fair way to become a success. It is popular with the people. Keep to it, and the only way to do this is by maintaining the close relations existing between the patrons of the postoffice and the post office department. The contract system will do away with this relationship, will place the system beyond the absolutely control of the department in one sense and may cause it no end of embrarrass- ment
 'Fhe gentleman from California speaks of the question of expense, and | seems to fear that the rural free deliv- | cry service is going to ruin this govern | ment and swamp the department. This | is the old argument, used as long ago | as when free delivery in the cities was first started. l remember in the early | sixties, when I was postmaster at New |

MINNIE HEALY MINE Is
CLOSED BY INJUNCTION

The famous Minnie Healy mine
case, to which some local interest at
taches on account of the fact that
the matter was originally adjudicated
before Judge Harvey. a Rock Island
county boy, is still on in Montana.
\ dispatch from Butte SAYS:
The celebrated Minnie Healy mine
about 400 men thrown out of employ
ment as result of the injunction is
sued in the famous case becoming eff
fective. The court today declined to
grant a rehearing of its decision of
last Monday ordering the mine closed
pending appeal. Associate Justice
Milburn dissented from tOday's rul-
ing of the court. The court fixed the
bond of the Amalgamated company
ate 100000. This will protect Mr..
Heinzc in case that Judge Harney's
decision is eventually affirmed. The
bond was furnished today. The sure
ties are the amount for which they
are liable arc: w \. Clark, ,Jr., 1925
Davis, 900; Absaiom f. Bray,
100000. Each of the sureties has
qualified in double the amount. The
fact that Senator Clark's sons name
appears on the bond caused a mild
sensation, as it goes to show that the
senator is on more than friendly
terms with the Amalgamated."

Bloomington, Aug. 5.-The game
was smuggling match, the ground be-
ing slippery and the ball muddy and
hard to control. Smith retired in the
sixth, and, as the condition of the
ball rendered the skill of a pitcher
useless, Donnelly went into the box
to finish the game. The score was
tied till the eleventh inning and then
Donnelly was touched up for eight
hits, which gave Bloomington the
game.
For Rock Island Miller was unable
to play and his place at second was
taken by King, formerly with Bloom
ington and Terre Haute. For Bloom
ington Mullaney had a finger split
and his place was taken by Smith.

FENCE ACROSS SLOUGH

Riparian rights are apt to be worth
lighting for in wet season like this.
The Moline Journal says lively doings
are promised about Coal Valley in
the near future, unless a fence
constructed by Joseph Greenwood is
removed. Neighbors in from the
town stated that Mr.: Greenwood has
constructed a wire fence across the
Coal Valley slough, thus obstructing
public waterway, and greatly in
conveniencing people who desire to
use the slough with boats in reach
ing their property. 1t is claimed
that the obstruction is placed over
that section of the slough which is
in possession of the government, and
that Mr.. Greenwood had no right to
make the obstruction. People are
indignant over the matter, and there
are threats that the fence will be
chopped away, which may result in
the matter reaching the courts and
the dispute find settlement there.

that matter, they should be easy meat
and may help Decatur along consid-
erably, while they are sliding down
toward Evansville, the despised tail
enders. 1t looks like safe bet that
both Rock Island and Bloomington
will pass Hayes team before the
finished.
Evansville, at the bottom of the
list, is drawing better than Rockford,
the leaders. Twelve hundred people
paid to witness the double-header at
Evansville Thursday.
Judging from the tone of the arti-
cles appearing in the Bloomington
papers and from other sources the
Rock Island players were not treated
in very hospitable manner during
the series at Bloomington that ended
yesterday. Every victory they won,
it appears, brought down upon their
shoulders loads of abuse.
1t is now stated positively that
James Hackett Terre Haute's star
pitcher, has been secured by the st.
Louis National league team to finish
the end of the season, and will also
be one of the st. Louis pitchers for
next year. Louis Heidelbrand, of st.
Louis, has been in Terre Haute for
several days and has fixed up the
deal for Hackett.

BEST ALIEN CUSTOMERS
Set Forth In Table Published by Treasury
Department.

The frequently asked question,
what becomes of our exports of
manufactures? is now definitely an
severed by the treasury bureau of
statistics. While il has been prac-
ticable to show the countries to
which any given article is sent in
any given year the figures of the
bureau have not formerly been so
adjusted as to render it practicable
to determine what share of the
total exports of manufactures was
sent to a given country or grand di
vision of the world; or, in other
words, the location. of the principal
markets for American manufactures.
These facts are now shown by
series of tables complied by the
bureau. They show that during the
year 1901 81 per cent of the manu-
features exported went to Europe.
% per cent to North America, &c
per cent to South America, So per
cent to Oceanic and little less than
3 per cent to Africa. The total
value of manufactures exported to
Europe was $215, 100000; to South.
America $27 100000; to Asia, $33, ZOO.
