(The following, article on '.ssEhe
History of Our Country Told in
Postage Stamps" is taken from
the current number of the Post
masters Gazette. The article is of
general interest and especially in
teresting to the numerous stamp
collectors in our community. M.
A Chronological History of Amer
lea, portrayed in pictures Of strik-
ing or outstanding events in the Ma
TONS past, issued by the Post Of
fee Department from time to -time
in Commemoration of these eYents.
Beginning with the landing of
Columbus these pictorial comnenoo.
rative stamps tell, in sequence, the
story Of Americas progress from
the bowling wilderness, found fby
the famous Genoan,y to its highly
developed state of today. 80 =,
Aside from the: commemorative
stamp, the history Of the ordinary
United States postage stamp is, in
itself, an interesting zone, marking,
as it does, the remarkable growth
of the country during the compare
lively few years it has been in use.
With the advent, of the postal SER
vice in colonial days, the stamp was
unknown, as was also the enve-
lope, so common today. Letters
were foldede and sealed and post
age fees, collected either from the
sender or receiver, were based upon
tn number Of pages.
Postage stamps did not appear
until July 1, 1847, when they were
first placed on sale in New York
City, after having previously been
authorized by an Act of Congress
approved March 3, preceding. II
During the first fiscal year in
which they were used, postage
stamps were issued to postmasters
for sale to the public to the number
Of 800, $50. That figure is far cry
to the 1876, 460,69 distributed to
the fifty odd thousand postmaste-s
during the year just passed.
United States postage stamps are
manufactured at the Bureau of En-
craving and Printing, under an.
agreement between the Postmaster
General and the Secretary of Trea-I
sury.
Since the first issue of 1S47 many
changes have been made in the de-.
sign, color and size of our postage
stamps and in addition to the ordi-

Under the above title, an east
ern weekly publication, the Lib
erty magazine, expresses SYM
pathy in the farmers strike, and
is desirous that the farmers get
better prices for their products.
The article in the New York
magazine reads as follows:
At last the worm" has turned.
Not that we desire to insult the
farmers by such term, but they
have been acting like worms for years
when it comes to protecting their
financial interests.
In practically every phase of life
there is certain amount of organ
ization among workers. Business
men have joined together for mutual
protection.
And the farmers have various or
ganizations that attempt to do some
thing now and then, but they have
been victimized by the forces that
stand between producer and con-
sumer.
The consumer usually pays fair
price for what he uses and in some
cases several hundred per cent be-
yond the amount paid to the producer
The middlemen have always ex-
plotted the farmers, but with the
pOpularizatiOn of racketeering there
is apparently no limit in their efforts
to buy cheap of the farmer and sell
high to the consumer.
And now we have the farmers
strike.
Out in Iowa more than forty men
were arrested for picketing. They
were stopping trucks outside of Coun-
Gil Bluffs trying to prevent farmers
from taking their products to market.
That is an unlawful procedure, but
it is just another species of intimida-
tion that is used by strikers every
where in every phase of organized
labor. Labor has made every possible
effort to keep up wages, which is
commendable. But we have the threat
that constantly hangs over employers
in the form of violence in case they
fail to meet the demands of labor.
This is not commendable.
If the farmers desire to stop trucks
and make an effort to induce the
driver to join them, that could hardly
be called unlawful; but of course it
would be difficult for such activity
to continue without certain amount
OF force and intimidation. Doubtless
these striking farmers can accomplish
but little locally; but, as one of their
number states, this method will call
the attention of people everywhere to
their deplorable situation.
AS we said on this page in for
mer issue, in robbing the farmers we
have killed the goose that laid the
golden eggs. The farmer is the
foundation of our national prosperity.
Farmers are free spenders. Automo-
biles. agricultural implements, cloth
ing-merchandise of all kinds is
needed by them lin enormous guam
titles. And when we rob them of
their just rights, compel them to sell
