the passage of the Burnham bill, which
provides for the establishment of a

danger of the bill being attached to the

as a "rider."
"A parcels post system would mean
ruin to small merchants," said Mr.
Fleischner last night, "and particularly
to the general stores in the country.
Their passing would soon be felt by
the Jobbers and wholesalers, and they
in turn would have to go. A parcels
post would enable the big mall order

and New York, who do business with
their large catalogues, to send articles
to all parts of tho United States, in
