WILL REDUCE COST.

Popular interest in the telepost Is not
so likely to center about it's technical
side as 1t will in the reduced cost of
telegraphy It will effect. With the sys-
tenn In successful operation-the initial
service between New York and Buffalo
may begin within few months-one
can send a letter of 80 words to any
point for % cents. Such kilograms will
be known as "teleposts" and they viii
differ from a telegram" sent by the
same system. in that the 'telepost'
win be delivered at the city postofiice,
whereas the Telegram" containing 20
words and sent, also. for 20 cents, will
be delivered by messenger.
Aside from the low cost of the service
the circumstance that the rate will be
the same between all points, without
regard to distance, gives If an added
value of Importance. In other words,
for % cents 50-word letter can be sent
from New York to Buffalo and the
cost would be the same as between Buff
falo and Troy, or between Troy and
Albany. If it be desired to send a let
ter of 100 words the cost would be 5
cents for each additional 10 words or
30 cents for the entire letter
NEW YORK TO SALT LAKE.
1t is claimed for the telepost that
with the system in active operation it's
low tariff will bring 1t in sharp COM
petition with the mails An ordinary
business letter can be compressed
within the limits of so words and when
IT can be telegraphed. say from New
York to Salt Lake City, or to Spokane,
for 20 cents there will be little profit
in using the mails where a saving OF
only 20 cents in price would be effected
as against saving of three days in
transit.
FOR NEWSPAPERS.
Outside of the large business houses
the next greatest user of the telepost
would be the newspapers. to whom
q service would be furnished at so low
a price as tenth of cent a word and
this would apply to day dispatches as
We'll as to night. Doubtless, a lower
rate would be given where the same
dispatch was duplicated to several cities
on the same circuit.
When one remembers that, during tba
early days of the electric telegram
newspaper publishers paid 10 cents n
word on dispatches between Washing
ton and New York, it will be seen that
reduction to one-tenth of a cent a
word between all points is greater than
mas been made by any common carrier
among the many now engaged in inter-
state commerce.

regarded as the formal opening of Mr..

the other speakers were Adlai H. Stew

BRYAN's SPEECH.

THE questions which involve a dis
cussion of the relative sphere of the
nation and the state bring out the diff
ference in the point of view of the aris-
tocrat and the Democrat. The aristocrat
wants to get the government as far
away from the people as possible; the
Democrat desires to bring the govern
ment as near the people as possible.
The aristocrat would substitute national
remedies for state ones. because preda-
tory wealth can protect itself from
national legislation more easily than
from state legislation; the Democrat
would add the national remedy to the
state remedy. and thus give the people
the protection of both the state and
federal governments.
1.-THE labor question is considered
from both standpoints, The aristocrat
thinks only of the large employers;
the Democrat of the army of en-
ployes and of the general public. which
is Inconvenience by any disruption Of
friendly relations between employees and
employer.
1.-THE question of Imperialism, in
like manner, presents the difference in
viewpoint. The imperialist thinks more
of the extension of commerce than of
the preservation of the ideas of self
government, and he thinks only of the
benefits that might come to the COM
paratiVe few the Democrat KNOWS that
trade purchased at the lannon's mouth
costs more than II is worth, and that
the cost falls upon all the people, while
the profits accrue to but a few.
And so whatever question we take
up, we find that everything depends
upon the point of view from which we
examine the question. and there is no
better Illustration of this than can be
found in the financial stringency
through which we are passing. The
Republican leaders at once rush to the
rescue of the banks after those banks
had brought the stringency upon the
country by their unbusinesslike meth
DDS. The banks of the rest of the
country were Disseminated against In
favor of the banks Of New York city,
and after the government had exhaust
ed the loanable surplus in the treasury
ii borrowed money at per cent in or
der that 1t might have money to loan to
the banks for nothing; and the high
financiers count it patriotism to loan
out at emergency rates the treasury
money furnished them without interest.

half as much time in trying to make
