AYE, there's the rub, sir! 1t is only

is there that he parcels post schemes

cannot go ahead, oblivious of the ex-

have contracts with the railways, by
which they are charged only three
fourths of cent a pound, for hauling
their goods. while the postal depart
ment is paying for carrying mail mat

ment in both cases The Supreme
Court has decided that these express

political chances for the passage of
this measure. to which he replied:
There is general feeling, 1 find,
that the express company must 20;
that 1t is positive obstacle and
hindrance to business and commerce.
a parasite has no friends. and the
express companies are in this situa-
ton. If they could be abolished by
an act OF Congress, that act would
meet almost universal approval.
But there should be some agency
to take their place. and none other
than the postal department can be
thought of. as it alone can articulare
the railways and the cities with the
country districts. or course, the de-
tails of the legislation to take tho
companies over will have to be con-
sidered. and that Is being done now
to a degree. expect the step to be
completed before the close of the
Sixty Second Congress. One of the
benefits of such articulation is the
connection of the system with reducing
the cost of the necessaries of life In
the present state of things the farmer
must devote a large part of his time
to transporting his product, however
little there be, to the market. And
even the truck farmer must provide
himself with transportation system
that involves a horse and it's mainte-
nance. and a barn, and the expense
of both during the unproductive sea :

in transportation are the smallest ele-
mcnts of his service to the public,

The postal collect and delivery would
eliminate all this. and enable the truck
farmer to enter business on a mini
mum Of capital. and pursue 1t on n
minimum of labor and expense. The
truck-farming industry would receive
an impetus, and the cost of such foods
be greatly reduced to the consumer,
