HEAVY FREIGHT BY MAIL.

Testifvins before the house committees
on postotfices and post roads, Edwin C..
Madden. third assistant postmaster gem
eral, said that indiscriminate use OF the
government free mail envelope by var
ious executive department OF the gov.
eminent Vas one OF the chief causes OF
the postal deficit He said that type.
writers, blizzard tables, desks, chairs.
lounges carpets book cases, ard heavy
steel safes were sent on mail cars free at
all times Of the year. and that Il happen
ell that much OF these heavy shipments
were made during he period when the
mails are weighed for ninety days in
order to determine the basis of compen.
sation to railroads. Mr. Madden said
that in 1899 This government free matter,
exclusive Of ba4s and wrappiuss con-
stituted I25S per cent OF the entire
weight carried. Postmaster General
Cortelyou, be said, had estimated that
in 1904 the government lost in round
numbers 800, 600 600 by this free matter.
Postmaster General CorteIyou suggests
IA remedy that each department shall
pay postage upon its mail matter accord
ing TO its class. Representative Over
street favors law requiring each execu-
tive department to keep account OF its
mail shipments both as to weight and
character, and he thinks that this plan
would provide the necessary remedy. 1t
will occur TO great many people that
this is very important problem and that
congress should De able 10 apply an
sffectige remedy.
Mr.. Cortel vou's commentator seems
10 be practical and it should, We think,
be adopted. The government franking
privilege mas been grossly abused. Sena
tors and representatives have participant
Ell in this abuse. and there is an impress
Sion at Washington that congress will
not provide an effective remedy. There
is no reason why there should &c i posta.
deficit. L Aas long been i mystery why
the government has so long subm tied to
ex,ortion in this matter OF payment to
railroads for mail transportation. For
carrying he mails railroads charge the
government about 500 per cent more
than they charge the express companies
for similar service The tracking privi-
ledge should De read iusted and, where
ever practical, actually abolished, while
the railroads should be required TO carry
the mails on reasonable terms.

THE OTHER PARAGRAPHS.

Those republican newspapers that are
supporting Mr. Roosevelt on the railway
rate proposition are Just now quoting
conspicuousiy one statement made at
Chicago by President A. B Stickney OF
the Chicago Great Western road as
follows:
1T is my conclusion that, because the
railways have assumed the common law
obligation of common carriers, and be-
C tuse they are public highways, it is
fair and right TO control their rates by
law, and that, because railways are
monopolies, the law at self-preservation,
as we'll as fairness and Justice, demands
that the people, through the govern.
ment, should control railway rates by
law"
Now, We would like to have some OF
these newspapers quote another para
graph from that same speech.
Mr.. Stickney declared thar the rebate
evil had by no means been abolished and
he also sal d sonnet hing about that fear.
fully and wonderfully made affair known
as the protective tariff. Thus:
1T is notorious and undisputed TACT
that most of the great trade monopoies
OF this country are founded and sustained
by the rebate in connection with the
protective tariff, which has, in effect
taxed the people hundreds OF millions OIL
dollars not to produce revenue for the
government, but to enrich trade monop
olies.
When republican editor quotes Mr.
Stickney on the railway ra e proposition
it might be we'll for democrats to ask
! him why he does not quote Mr.. Stickney
on the rebate and protective tariff pro-
position.
