" Our prompt Attention.
When the Republican party
came into power in 1861 there
I was no suoh thing known in our
I postal service as free delivery
i either in cities or in country
I district. The republioaa party
always alive with a determi
I nation to benefit the common
people and increase the comforts
,f borne ' life, in 1863
inaugrate a system of free
delivery to the homes of the
people. Beginning with wise
caution on this wide departure
from the-plans passed by the
national government from its
commencement, provisions were
made to establish ' free ' delivery
of mail ' matter in 45 of the
principal cities in the United
States with 68 letter carriers, at
a cost, the first year ol 1817,063.
20. The expeti meat proved a
suocessfrom the start in cities
and on July ' 1, 1001, the ' post
master, general reported 866
oities suffled with . free
delivery service employ ini;
16,889 -carriers,-- who - collected
and carried mail matter, two or
more times a day, to 82,000,000
patrons in oitiei at a oost to the
government of .'- 60 cents pe
annum for each - patron. See
report of post Master General,
0. E. Smith for year ending June
30, 1901.
: Free delivery in oities having
proved not only a great conveni
ence to tbe p lople, but a financial
success to thi government! tbe
next move was too extend it to
the country, but to this move
the Ddmocraa objeoted. Wax.
I Wilson the '.last Democratic
Past Utster, i who served in
Clevelands cabinet, the last two
years of his second administra
tion from 1895 to 1897, declared
f rural Ires delivery impraetio , '
but when he retired and a
Republican took his place at the
commencement ot MvKinleys
first administration, a more
progressive idea prevailed, and
it was resolved to accomodate
country people as well as city
folks. Within tbe first two yeais
of Mckiuleys first administration
200 Rural Free Delivery Routs
were established, and in opera
tion in 1899, and now after five
years trial, there are 25,000 routs
bringing daily mail service to
more than 12,000,000 people in
the country.
To , . come closer : home to
observe what benefits a Republi
can idea etfeouated by Republi
can energy and vigor has done
for the people in this mountain
valley in their new homes, we
find in Union county five rural
free delivery routes now in
operation; ' is, two from Jja
Grandn, one from Alice!, one
from Summerville and one from
the Elgin. These five routes take
from and carry to, every duy in
the year, Sundays excepted, the
mail matter of 600 patron?, nt
(heir farm homes without
change. Aud thi-, within less
than eight years from the lime
when a Democratic Post Master
General pronounced free rurul
delivery impracticable. So much
for Democra'10 theory which
always says "can't aud don't
Republicanism which always
says, "can and do" and then
does. : -
