The man who K-ads on the first
ballot often fails to lead on the last
ballot. Seward led at the start in

Sherman in isss, yet the other man
in each case carried olT the priae.

There is a somewhat general idea
that the McKinley tariff bill will be
repealed before long, or at all events
be so much modified that the Mting
will be taken out of those clauses
most objectionable to Hritish man
ufactures; and it is for this reason
that the hopes of the democrats for
the approaching presidential elec
tion are so largely shared in this
country. Loudon Kngineering,
April IS.
are to.unl rural postnllices in the
country, including villages. Many
of these would be unnecessary with
the carrier system. The net expense
would be much less than one miht
suppose at first flush. Speaking of
the system as it has been tried in
other lands Hr. O'Dnuuelly says:
"The I'nited Slates of America is
far hihind other nations in afford
ing mail accommodations to dwel
lers in the farming communities.
Kngland, Germany, France, China,
Japan and India have long had
this system the I nited Mates
xviih an area of 3,."ii 1,10-1 square
miles and a population of ti.'i,iKH!,(KKI,
have made wonderful progress in
providing mail facilities for cities
and towns, but the fanning com
munity has been allowed to jog
along with the same conveniences
of early days.
"The farming community ask
that they be treated as other citi
zens are. They know they bear
their share in sustaining the gov
ernment. They believe in recipro
city and ask that the government
return their support by enlarging
i.-id increasing the postal facilities
the portions where they reside.
i(; the cities the mail is delivered
frt to all the people. The farmer
must go to the postol'lice for his
mail, aud also has to pay box rent.
Six years ago, on this floor, I called
attention to this manifest injustice.
Last year $2,3(W,7(S were collected
from box rents at the different post
ollices. A good share of this came
from the farmer. In the mail ser
vice the farmer asks to be put on an
equality with his fellow citizens."
The experience of the countries
named above is favorable to rural
mail delivery, and we hope the plat
form adopted at Minneapolis will
treat the question fairly. Inter

WHO PAYS THE TARIFF?
Iv. G. Dovey Son have displayed
in their show window a set of Fug
lish made dishes, which consists of
KK) pieces. They offer the entire set
for only ifS.Oa. Three years ago they
sold a set just like this one for if 15.
Now since the McKinley bill has
gone into effect they will sell you
the same dishes for ouly f.s.05. The
freight on this set from Hoston was
$2, the tariff and the wholesaler
made a profit, K. G. Dovey Son
make a profit, and the freight from
Kngland to Huston must cost some
thing and the crate, straw and pack
ing cost something.
Will the Journal or some other
free trader explain who pays the
tariff and why these goods should
be sold so much cheaper since the
McKinley bill went into effect than
before.

FREE RURAL MAIL DELIVERY.
The republican national conven
tion of four years ago favored in its
platform one thing which it did not
try very hard to carry out-penny
postage. The postmaster general
favors instead of that free delivery
for rural communities, ami certain
ly if that is really practicable it
would be far more important to the
country at large than a reduction in
the rate of postage, especially as the
postal card has practically reduced
postage to 1 cent for a large mini
ber of letters. ,
The committee on resolutions of
the Minneapolis convention ought
to inquire carefully into the feasi
bility of this idea, aud if satisfied
that it would be practicable commit
the party to it, sqttrely and stronly
There are 4,i.i(),iM) farms in this
country, and if the farmers am
their families can be served with
free delivery they should be. The
subject has been carefully consid
ered and urged upouthe present
congress that it adopt the plan, but
this congress is democratic, and
is the very essential attribute of d
iiiocracy to wiinsianu every pro
gressive idea. A few days ago Cou
gressman t) Donnell made a speech
in advocacy of rural delivery, am
the facts he presented are especially
pertinent to the discussion. There
