A SIGNIFICANT SILENCE.

The Evening Times had hoped that
some of the many reform" publish
ers who profess to be guarding the
interests Of the people would recog-
Rze the necessity OF making a few
contributions to the governments
conscience fund, as just compensation
for the privilege they enjoyed last
year of sending their publications
through the mails at a net loss to
Uncle Sam of s27O0O,oO0. But the
srafters do not appear to be doing
anything of the kind, for we find that
the postal deficit continues to grow
apace.
For the last quarter of 1905 the de-
Rcit amounted to s6,7S5,555.61, an in
crease of $66,O362S over the last
quarter of 1904.
So the bonus, subsidy or graft of
the publishers. which has come to be
national scandal on it's very face,
continues to increase in size, and not
q single expression of disapproval or
remorse has the Evening Times been
able to elicit from the hypocritical
beneficiaries thereof
People who patronize the so-called
moral publications should bear in
mind, when they are reading of the
evils that others are therein charged
with doing, that they-the tax payers
Of the country-are mailing mighty
contribution every year to enable the
Publishers to tell the people what
ought to do.
If this publishers graft was stopped
there might be some hope for the es-
Enlistment of one-cent postage
