from the United Kingdom, making
grand total of 1136S1 600 pieces.
So great has been the growth of what

established II system of motor vans be

Negotiate With United States.
For many years negotiations were
conducted between Great Britain and
the United States looking toward the
establishment of parcel post between
these countries. but 1t was not until
1905 that an agreement was reached.
The service was at first subjected to
serious limitations. as parcels could
not exceed four pounds six ounces In
weight
The United States being unable to
agree to the system OF accounting and
insurance in effect with other countries.
England found it necessary to main
tain semiOflicial service through the
American Express company. which pro-
vided facilities for the dispatch of par
cells np to eleven pounds. Notwith-
standing its limitations, the official par
Gel post worked smoothly from the out

On parcels for New York city. Jersey
City. Brooklyn and Hoboken three
pounds for - cents up to eleven pounds
for $1.20. for all other parts of the
United States 96 cents and S1.14 respec-
lively. Parenthetically it might~be said
that the small charge by the express
company in this case furnished the ad
vocates OF lower express rates. as well
as of an American parcel post, much
ammunition during the last session of
congress, and it is prObab BILE that when
the American parcel post is established
this business will be diverted to it from
the express company.
| Through the competition of the Off

Dany reduced its charges in 1907 from
shillings to l shilling nonpOstaI
charges. In 1908 the limit of weight
was raised from four pounds six ounces
to eleven pounds in both directions, and
the rate of postage (olliciaD was fixed
as follows
For all parts of the United States:
Up to three pounds, Is. Cd.
Three to seven pounds, IS. Cd
Seven to nine pounds. IS. Cd.
Nine to eleven pounds. is. Cd.
After this change in the arrangement
the parcel post business increased about
40 per cent, and there are now about
100000 parcels received from the Unit
ed States and about the same number
sent there annually.

UNJUST TAXATION

Heretofore and up to the presen,
time the money used in building bat
tleships. maintaining the army anl
navy and paying all OF the vast ex
lenses- Of the national government
has been procured solely by taxing
the things eaten, worn and used by
the people. The poor eat as much
as the rich, and the clothes they
wear are taxed more according tc
their value than the clothes worn
BY the rich. Under such system d
taxation many poor men with large
families pay more toward the main
tenance Of the general goyernmen,
than does other men with small fam
lies who are worth hundreds 81
thousands OF dollars. s,S 4. ' H5fj 4 81
No one can defend such injustice
upon any legal or moral ground, be
cause It costs quite as much OF
!. more NO to protect property rights al
! It does human rights and the posses,
sors Of property should pay the ex
penses incurred by the government,
IN the protection Of their wealth.
Fifty OF one hundred years from
now historians viii quite likely view
this fiscal policy Of the country from
different angles. Some may com
mend the American people for the pa
tent manner IN which they carried
the burdens imposed upon them BY
fheartless. unpatriotic schemers, while
others will be inclined to regard
them az long suffering dots. !,

KING OF ENGLAND. a HOME RuL

N. !
The threats Of forcible resistance by
those opposed to Home Rule and
their attempts to induce the soldiers
to mutiny has incensed King George
and made him an ardent supporter OF
the measure. The bill is almost
certain to become law, and the be
lief is growing that there will be
little disturbance resulting from the
establishment of parliament in
Dublin. A few mobs may assemble
in Ulster, but there will be no civil
war nor cause for long continued i'll
feeling. Any attempt to Mexicanize
any part Of Great Britain will be
sternly depressed. At least that is
what can be reasonably expected
from the present attitude Of the
King and liberal party, which has a
firm hold on every department of
the government.

the TARIFF BILL IN THE SEN
z t35, HIS ATE.

For . score or more OF years the
United States senate has been the
tariff barons' secure fortress. Every
tariff bill passed by the House dur
ing that period Of time was re-writ
ten ~ the senatorial tariff agent.
and loaded with permits to prey up
on the American people. For that
reason many are fearful that the
I Underwood bill will share the fate
~ Its many predecess ors. They are
afraid that when it energies from
the senate, it will resemble the Nc
38,Kla.inrley BIZ. or the Wilson bill, OF
the Payne-Aldrich bill more than the
original Underwood bill. Those who
are troubled with these fears over
look an important change that has
taken place in the organic law OF the
country Hereafter senators as well
as representatives will be elected
by the direct vote Of the people, and
they are not liable to disregard the
rights Of the people as they formerly
did.
