HUMAN
 POSTAL TRANSPORTATION.

The average American citizen is aware that our postofice system is very crude and incomplete compared with that of England where the par cels post, universally free delivery and other advanced features are regarded as quite commonplace.
 It is doubtful, however, if many are aware of the fineness of the point to which the British have perfected their postal service. We read, for exam 1ple, ofya man sending himself by mail through the London postoffice. A Londoner, desiring to find an address in a rush, was informed at the post office that for fee of three pence a mile, the cost of registered post, he could be delivered at the address he sought to reach. He immediately put himself in charge of a messenger boy of the postoffice, who quickly guided him 10 his destination. It is explain ed that the boy carried printed blank on which was a description Of his nu- man parcel. He required both par eel and customer to sign receipts.
 No agency in the United Kingdom possesses the facilities for finding the residence of people that are possessed by the postoffice department The system is said to be marvelously per feet. The provision of the British postal law under which the London man was mailed to the address of the party he desired to reach, reads: "A person may be conducted by ex- press messenger to any address on payment of mileage fec
 It will be many years before the United States get their postal service organized on such complete and prac- tical lines Indeed, it will take years to perfect our rural free delivery sys- tenn to the British standard.

THE FARMER
 AND THE TARIFF.

Agriculture is the chief source oi our national wealth. One need not be learned in political economy to know that the financial success of the farmer is entirely dependent upon buying and selling on the same terms and in the same market Bartering is his most beneficial method of commerce. and when denied this privilege, by law or otherwise, his prosperity is seriously impaired. To deprive him of this right in any country is indefensible, but to deny it to him in this country of equal rights to all men it is tyran- ny. To tax one to upbuild the indus try of another is legalized robbery, ex- cusable only in a half civilized despot- ism, yet We find it to be the rule, and the chief rule of administration, in this government.
 Since the inception of the American protective-tariff system the farmer has often been compelled to drink the bitter dregs of penury. in order that a policy intended from it's beginning to enrich the few at the expense of the many might be exploited, and we must concede that it has served its mission well, breeding millionaires and trusts by the hundreds in every period of its existence. Today it is holding high carnival in this temple of American liberty. Its every deyotee, from it's lord protector in the White House to the billingsgate political ward bum mer, is imbued with its divinity far more than they are with the teach ings of that Holy One who taught that every man should eat bread by the sweat of his brow.
 Frcm the effects of this ideal Repuh- Iican policy have been witnessed hard ships almost too incredible for belief. Magnificent estates, which were once the abode of baronial magnificence and splendor, have been plastered with mortgages. and finally pass at the auction block from the possession of the owner into the hands of heartless syndicates, notwithstanding they were as fertile as the valley of the Nile. and, had they been in any other coun- try, would have been transmitted from generation to generation. clls- tered about with the sacred legends of ancestral history Inmates of these once palatial homes reduced to ex- tTeme poverty, becoming tenants in the ideal mansions of their fathers. Their broad acres, though fertile and tiled to the verge of exhaustion, could not yield suff1ciency to appease the greed of the Shylocks of protection.
 IL is interesting to note the differ ence in prices for domestic use and the export price on the necessities of the farmer. The following table, furnished by an expert who was en- ployed to gather the same, furnished t to the last session of congress:

These figures proclaim the condem- nation of this iniquitous protective tarir policy far more eloquently than the human tongue can speak They show that this trust-breeding system is indefenssble, tyrannical. and not in tended for revenue purposes. but to en- rich the rich. The Government de- rives no revenue from the importation of this class of goods. They are not imported in sufficient amounts for con sideration, nor is the tax needful to enable any of our manufacturers of this class of articles to compete with foreigners, because, unlike any other country, we have the raw material the iron, the coal. and the timber-on the same mountain side.
 Not only is the farmer being jmpov- erished by this infamous policy at home, but 1t is rapidly closing his most

extensive and profitable markets abroad. By realizing such enormous profits from the home consumer the trusts and manufacturers are enabled to undersell the foreigner in his own country. and this is done with the de libera.e purpose to further satiate his greed by destroying all free competi ton.

PRESSURE is BROUGHT.
Would Have Smoot Convicted Withou,
Any Trial.

Washington. April 5.-Many Of the
ileges and elections which has been hear
ing the Smoot case, are becoming vexed
by the nature OF the letters which they are
receiving. In one state the story was cir
culated by the leader Of an organization
of excellent women that a certain SEN
ator was not standing firm" Just what
this meant when he had not heard all
the testimony at the time and had done
little but listen 10 what had been present
ed, was hard to understand. The obvious
implication was that he ought to vote to
expel Smoot on suspicion before he heard
any of the testimony. and boldly an
nounce in the senate that this was his
purpose Nothing else is apparently
standing firm within the view Of the
critics. IT is possible that before this
case is over some of the senators in
VOWED will make a public statement Of
their relation to these petitions. and an
nounce what they esteem to be their ju-
dicial duty in weighing them.

lates that at the meeting Of the Methodist
ministers at local church Mrs F. 2. Nc

TO CALL A CAUCUS.
Statehood Bill Will Be Subject to
Party Discipline

Washington April 5.-speaker Cannon
had a conference with the president today
in regard to statehood legislation. 1t IS
understood that the president favors ear
" action on the part of the house in pass
ing the statehood bill.
After the conference the Republican
whip of the house. Mr.. Tawney Of Mine
sofa. made hurried canvass Of themem
bership and found a safe majority among
the Republicans for statehood legislation.
Many Of the members, however. repre-
sent constituents in favor Of separate
statehood. and il was therefore deemed
advisable to call a caucus of the house to
combine the Republicans for the purpose
of carrying out the program Of the com
mittee on territories for the passage OF
the bill joining the four territories in two
states.
Accordingly caucus Of the Republican
members OF the house was called for
the latter part Of the week. at which

DEMOCRATS ARE FIRM.
viii Make One More Effort to Create
an Issue.

New York, April 5.-A special dispatch
to the Globe and Commercial Advertiser
from Washington says: Before the ad-
journment Of congress Democratic lead
ers are TO make one more effort to define
an issue upon which the approaching
Presidential campaign can be fought
Senator German believes the issue will
appear in the refusal of the Republican
leaders of senate and house TO permit
an investigation by congress of the postal
scandals which have already been IN
earthed by the officials of the Postoffice
Department, and with other scandals
which the Democratic leaders say are still
in the background
The debate which Senator German pre-
cipitated yesterday on the postoffice ap-
preparation bill will be continued through
out the consideration of that bill and
may delay the vote by the senate for sew
eral days, just as the partisan debate in
the house kept the bill there under con-
sideration for nearly a fortnight.
1t is not impossible that in order TO
meet this issue the Republicans in the
senate before congress adjourns may au-
thorize the posto1sce committee 10 con-
with the understanding that report is
TO be made on the assembling for the
short session next winter.
In this way it would be necessary for
senators and representatives TO remain in
Washington. The committee would call
on the department for ali information in
its possessions, would designate the lines
on which it would like information, and
after receiving this data would make such
further investigation as might seem de-
sirable.
There are many Republica nleaders who
believe that this would be better than
to allow the Democrats TO go 10 the
country with the cry tha investigation
has been satisfied with all the differences
which might naturally be drawn from a
failure to act on the even of a presiden-
tial camDaign

his position saying: Under our oaths as

Of a senator. it is impossible. or at least
improper, for any senator to form an
opinion until all the testimony is in and
all the arguments on both sides are
made
This is a common experience with sem
ators who serve on the committee. Moth

the exclusion OF Smoot from the senate,

can not be doubted he says that the
capture of the great sea serpenr would
be an important scientific exploit. but this,
as we have seen. is almost impossible to
