ReneRta Of the Service.

Much has been said as to the benefit
If rural free delivery to the farmer ana
much more could be written. Speaking
on this subject, Representative Arthur
L. Bates of Pennsylvania, said in the
House on March 15 1904:
II is my belief the S21.OOOOOO appropriat-
ed I'm this behalf brings more direct benefit
TO the inhabitants Of this Republic whom
II affects than almost any other appropria-
tiOn made by the general government.
Forty years ago everyone went or sent
TO the pOstofiice for his mail and the farm
er In the busy season, when his horses and
teams were working in the fields could
sometimes only receive mail for himself
and family possibly once a week-on Sat
urday afternoon. Now Il is not only de-
livered several times daily at the homes
and places OF business Of the inhabitants
Of more than n Thousand cities. but for the
last six months of the fiscal year Ganuary
! to June 30 1903 there were delivered
by the carriers of this service some 3lO.-
100000 pieces Of mail on rural routes
throughout the United states TO farmers
and Inhabitants Of sparSeiy settled regions
Increased facilities always bring increas-
ed use and enjoyment more letters are
written and received: moro newspaper and
magazines are subscribed for While It is
not true In every part OF the country. vet
the Official report shows that quite a num-
Der Of rural routes already pay for them
selves by the additional revenues they oc-
casion
The testimony adduced from all over the
country proves that by reason Of rural free
delivery the actual value Of our farm lands
has been increased. Many farmers state
that they would not dispense with the serv-
ice for $50 or even 500 per annum. II
has been estimated that the value Of farm
lands has risen by this means as high as
81 per acre in several States A moderate
benefit to the farm lands Of the whole
country would be from 81 to SS per acre
The producers, being brought into daily
touch with the state Of the markets and
ter prices for all that the farm produces.
More definite knowledge Of trade conditions
Is always OF great advantage.
Good roads have been built and induced
as an incentive for rural free delivery estab-
lishment and to better encourage their
maintenance.

Judge Parker was nominated to play

PAY OF RAILROAD MEN.

Wage Farmers Have Pro6ted Because
of Republican Policy.
The last report of the Interstate Com
merce Commission shows that the total
compensation paid to railway employees
of all classes in the United States in
creased from S37. .S23.021 in 1896 to
S41. SOS, ,555 in 1902. This in itself would
Indicate general railroad prosperity dur
ing six years of Republican rule, but still
more significant is the fact that the
greatest increase was among the wage
earners In fact. there was decrease in
the salaries paid general officers. The
decrease in this item was from SI63,096,
in 1896 to S720,6S0 in 1002-a decrease
of $42.4l6 in six years.
On the other hand, the total yearly
compensation of station agents increased
from 81 1868 in 1896 to 81 ,462 ,S74 in
1902; the yearly compensation of en-
gineers increased from S3. OPT ,5S4 in 1896
to So, 3,451 ,0SS in 1902 that of fremen
from 81 733,057 in 1896 to 81 946,246 in
1902; that of conductors from 81 ,97S, 1855
to 2,539 4G6; that of other trainmen
from S3.7OO063 to $4697, ,272; that of
machinists from 1.12S. .634 to 81 ,422, 500;
that of section foremen from 81 1,260,634
to $1,377, 1854; and so on through the
whole list. The figures show that the
daily wage earners in the railroad bust
ness profted largely by Republican pros
perity.

Republican Legislation Providing iof
Arbitration.
The only national legislation providing
for the arbitration of labor controversies
and recognizing organized labor was en-
acted by the Republicans. On June /,
1888, President Mckinley signed oiI

Congress could not lcgislate for empIoyes

In 1860 when the Republican party
first came into power this was almost
exclusively an agricultural country and
the policy of the Democratic party was
to keep it so. That party said the
United States is destined to be the gran
airy of the world. but a manufacturing
country, never. The Republican policy
was to make it a great manufacturing as
well as agricultural country. and It has
done so. In the year 1900 the United
States produced one-third of all the man
ufactured products of the world and
shipped them broadcast to foreign mar
kets. This never could have been done
under the Democratic policy of free
trade.

Admiral Glass squadron, comprising
the flagship New York and the gunboat
Bennington, came into port yesterday
forenoon from Acapulco after a slow
voyage of fifteen days. The two YES
sells slowed down to the speed of the
Bennington, averaging about ten knots
per hour. The voyage was uneventful.
The New York docked at Naval dock
No. /, and the Bennington moored just
opposite, alongside Naval dock No. 2,
astern of the training ship Adams.
In a short time Admiral Glass
squadron will be joined by the cruiser
Marblehead and the gunboats Concord
and Petrol. After stay in this port
of about three weeks the vessels will
probably proceed to the Aleutian Is
lands, and may thence go to Puget
Sound. The cruiser Tacoma is also
expected to join Admiral Glass in Ho-
nolulu.
Salutes were given by the two ves-
sells in exchange for those fired at the
Naval Station, and Admiral Glass, his
staff and the two captains paid an
official visit to Admiral Terry at the
Naval Station. Admiral Terry later
returned the call.
