Representative James T. Lloyd, of
Missouri, chairman of the Democratic
national congressional committee, on
LMarcn JO, 10OS, exposed the flagrant
theft of the people's money through
the unfair weighing of mulls when of
ficial testa were made to determine
what compensation the railroads
should receive. He said:
"Mr. Chairman, in delivering my ad
dress a few days since on postal con
ditions, in discussing the interpreta
tion of tb law as to the weighing of
the mall, I faifed to sta'e the law on
the subject, and I wish to do so now:
"'The average weight to be ascer
tained, in every case, by the actual
weighing of the malls for such a num
ber of successive working days not
less than thirty, at such times after
June 30, 1873, and not less frequently
than once in every four years.'
"Later the time was changed to
ninety days. Otherwise the law has
not been changed to this date.
"Until March 2, 1907, the depart
ment required the mail to be weighed
for ninety days. Sunday was not con
sidered, so that the weighing covered
period of one hundred and five days
Instead of ninety successive days. In
other words, working days were con
strued to mean week days. Postmas
ter General Cortelyou changed th's in
terpretation which had been accepted
s correct for over thirty years and
IskuhJ the following order as his con
struction of the law:
" 'That when the weight of mall Is
taken on railroad routes, the whole
number of days the malls are weighed
shall be used as a divisor for obtain
ing the average weight per day.'
"Tikis required In effect, that, In
stead of dividing the number of work
ing or week days in the weighing
period, the devisor should be the num
ber of dajw on which mall was actual
ly carrieddurlng the period. If It
was weighed one hundred and five
days, the divisor to obtain the dully
weight was one hundred and five. If
the mall was not carried on Sunday,
the divisor would be ninety. This, as
you can readily see, would give less
compensation for carrying the full
week than for six days, for the ac
cumulated mall would be practically
the same whether carried In six days
or In seven.
'The present postmaster general,
seeing this predlcament.Tbsued another
order of construction, known as 'order
412, which is as follows: v
"That when the weight of mull Is
taken on' - railroad routes the whole
number of days Included In the weigh
ing period shall be used as a divisor
for obtaining the average weight per
day. .
"If the construction up to last year
was right, then there has been with
held from the railroads this year over
$1,700,000 that Is theirs under the law.
If the present construction is the prop
er one, the railroads have .received
over $70,000,000 since 1880 that be
longs to the people; so that whichever
view is sustained money has been
wrongfully withheld through the post
office department." s
"WHERE DID YOU GET ITT
"Uncle Joe" Invites Demand That
He Show Where He Got
His Wealth.
Speaker Cannon intimated that Mr.
Bryan had become a miltlouulre. The
speaker was speaking In bis home
town, Danville, 111.
The following day Mr. Bryan, speak
ing also lii Mr. Cannon's home dis
trict, opened his ledger to the gaze
of "the American people and showed
that be ' worth approximately $150,-
000.
Having thus accepted Speaker Can
non's challenge to " 'fess up," Mr.
Bryan demanded In return that
Speaker Cannon '"snitch on himself;"
that is, that Mr. Cannon also " 'fess
up, and relate just now lie got nis
wealth. -
It Is a perfectly proper thing, too;
for some people have been worried
that .Mr. Bryan has succeeded by his
great Industry in upbuilding a com
petency for Ills old age.
Salary, Lectures and Book.
It was from what I saved from my
congressional salary, and gullied from
lectures and books and the profits of
'The Commoner' that I got what
money and property I have," Mr.
Bryan answered, In substance. "Will
Mr. Cannon now tell the people how
he Amassed his wealth? lie has been
hampered more or less by official
duties during his term of service In
the congress, yet In spite of that ob
stacle, he is commonly presumed to
possess considerable or this world s
goods."
Now "Uncle Joe's" Turn.
None will deny that it Is now Uncle
Joe's turn to take the people Into bis
confidence. Down In Danville, It Is
true that Mr. Cannon and his brother
as baukers are thought each -to have
amassed much more than $1,000,000.
Certainly, his credit In the financial
world rests on the general belief that
approximately that sum represents his
earthly possessions.
If that be true, It I to be hoped
that the speaker will give details as
to how he got It If It be untrue, then
let him tell exactly bow much he Is
worth, and, of what his wealth con
sists, and follow Mr. Bryan's example
In taking the people Into his confl
dence.
Mr. Cannon cannot gracefully re- i
(use to do this. For be himself In- j
'Ited the demand now made on him.
