Phone 1571 There are a great many of our feeders who are comfortably Situated ou their . homestead olaims that' knew from actual experience that it' is a good thing to be the recipient of 160 acres of wild land from Uncle Sam, and they also know the convenience and saving of time to them by having their mail matter delivered to them eaoh day at tneir homes-'by a paid messenger of the United States, To such no afgurment is nec essary to prove that the home stead law is a good one, and that the Rural Free -' Delivery is a wise one, as Viewed from either au economical or patriotic view point. The one . government messenger " does the work re gularly, that was doae irregular ly by the many oitizons in going to androm the post office, at a great-saving of time in the ag gregate,. -and .because of the greatly increased benefits of the Postal Department to the citizen he used it more and the revenue of that Department is increased in a greater proportion than thd work is augmented and as finan cial proposition Rurtif Free De livery isa success. " There are now iu operation 25.000 Rural Delivery routes that accomodate in their homes daily more than 12,500,000 peo ple and in addition to these over 500,000 people, who live, along the 219,000 miles- of frontier postal routes commonly called Star routes have their mail de livered to them in boxes placed by the road side"yr"the U 8 Stage drivers. . Practically the United States ia now delivering mail matter to more than 13, 000,0000 of people in the country at their farm homes Stock ranch es and mines. To Post Mister General John Wauamaker under president Benjamin Harjisou Republioan from 1889 to 1803 is due the honor of making the Brstoffiical suggestion for a free Rural De livery, lue Suggestion was received withj such favor that the Republican Congress appro priated $10,000 with which to begin iniatory ' experimental work which at first was directed to free delivery in email towns and villiages These experiments were so successful that at the close ofHarrisons administration arrangements were being ac tively made to extend the ser vices into the country among the farms. But the Democracy in 1892 as they are now doing, raise a great hue aud cry against Elebulican extravigaoce and Clenvland was elected president anJ assumed nfiice March 4 1893. Duiing Cieavlamls Administration nothing was done to maintain or extends Rural Free Delivery for the reasons at slated by the D-mocratic Post Master General Bisiell, in his annuals Report . as follows; j "Although it wag provided by Congress in the appropriation bill for the fiscal years ending June 30 1894, tliet tl0,00C should be devoted at the discre tion of the Postmaster General to testing the feasibility of esta blishing a system of free delivo- found impossible by teasou of more important 1 questions, ' for the officers having that subject in charge to give the matter the study and consideration it demands', muoh leas to establish, such' rural free delivery" ' The Republicans when again in power under MoKiuley took up tile work left off by Harrison and found plenty of time to atteud to it and after less than ten years have so far succeeded that 25,000 rou&s'are' in'opera tions and,' 12,3000,000 people served with Rural Free Delivery ISwmelnBmir the"0bser ver recalls to our friends on home steads th ai the" Democracy fough t IMPORTANT 'TO FARMERS GRAIN BAGS GRAIN BAGS $4 .75 per ifo) the homestead law so lan e as in power, their last Demooratio Piesident " "Jambs Buchanan vetoed a homestead bill and that the law that gave you your home was passed by a Republican Congress approved by Abraham' Lincoln,' the' first Republican president. ' Also that Rural Free Delivery tTiat'givaB you daily miil service at your home ia the out'' borne of Republican effort and law, spite of the opposition of Democracy.
