"The Sixth Universal Postal Congress convened In 1 the city of Rome, Italy, April 7 and contlnuedj until May 26, 100C Sixty-five countries, Including the United States, were represented. The assembly was for jth purpose of dl cussing the postal systems pf aU nations and, If possible; agreeing upon measures for. the'jimproyement In all practical ways, of the regulations governing In ternational Intercourse , .tb.ro9fi!), , the mails. The flret congress of this kind met la Berne, Switzerland, In, .1871 M The United States Postofflce Depart ment was represented In this World Postal Congress by two dolegatea-e Superintendent of Division of Foreign Malls, as In previous postal congresses, and thp Hon.Edward Rosewater of the Omaha Bee who had also served In the preceding postal .congress., r r-p ') Mot , tor L'.lTerral Feaar roatasr. At this Universal ; Postal . Congress representatives 'of the' United State proposed, a universal, two-cent postage to all nations. The Hon. J. Hennlker Heaton.M. P., who is the father of the two-cent idea In England, Speaking of America's action at the Rome conven tion, hi standing out for a universal two-cent postal rate, said: r ; ' "The1 ' British members 'stood ' coldly by. .. They old not recognize that this was a great historic occasion, a worthy parallel of 'that aoremn scene on July 4, 1770, when the Declaration of Inde pendence was adopted; for If the Americans are willing to adopt a penny postage to all parts of the world, it fol lows that they are willing to establish It to the British Empire and form with ua a, Restrictive' Postal' Union. " ' : The Hon. Whftelaw Reid, America's Republican minister to the Court of St James, praised, the work, of, the Ameri can delegation and solicited the friendly co-operatloh of the Brftlslr government at a Fourth of July banquet speech In London in 1906. " Mr. Retd said: ' "The American' people hoped for closer and cheaper communications with all other nations as the best meana of promoting betteracqualntance and perpetuating friendship. They were gratified to find that the British apostle of penny .postage (Mr, Heaton) at this moment focusing his efforts on what Ought to -be the easy task1 of persuad ing the authorities on. tooth sides of the Atlantic,, .'Jhat.,itywa8a.81 3ip.sffj a letter from London to New York as from London to Calcutta or from New York to Manila and quite a useful.". Jkmarleaa Repnblleaaa Leaf ka Way So It has come to pa6 that the Unit ed States, under1 its Republican admin istration, has Anally succeeded in en tering into a convention with Great Britain, whereby after the 1st of ,Qcto fcer,!tjil9; year, a tyoent postage rate will obtain between this country and England,' Ireland, "Scotland" and Wales. We already have such an arrangement with Canada, Mexico, Cuba, Panama and bur colonial possessions. This great aecorapHhment is universally recog nized as the proper beginning which Is to result In a universal two-cent postage rate around the world. : ' Important Thing; AcrnmplUhed Two other Important things that t ie Republican administration accomplish ed at the Rome Universal Postal Con gress through Its representatives, must hot be lost sight of One was the adop tion of a universal ! return coupon stamp, In exchange for which, upon Its presentation at a postofflce in another country, the person presenting It shall receive a postage stamp of the yaluo of 5 centa, good In any country of th9 world, .thus .enabling people here to pr-pay postage at regular rates upon reply 'letters; "r"" "''.

' No doubt tji Democrats may Inquire as to what all this has to do with the welfare of American citizens. For their enlightenment and Information It may be stated that, according to the United States census of 1900, the for elgn born population In the United Stutes at that time was 10,400,085. The population, born of foreign parentage (one or both parents having been born In foreign countries) waa 26,108,039, or a total foreign population of 36, C69jp24.,The jeport of the Immigra tion Commissioner by years since then shows that 6,068,650 have , since come to ; America;' thus eking Out the total foreign 'population at the present time to 46,327,680. This does not take any note of Increase since 1900 in American-born children, One or both of whose parents are of foreign blood. Estimat ing that only one-half of this number 21,663,840 write one Jctter, to foreign countrlevery two weeks, or 20 weeks each year, we have 120,983,040 letters written annually, which, at the present rate of, 5 cents postage each, amounts to an expenditure of 10,499,152 annu ally.' Under the present postal law foreign correspondents may send, let ters to the United' Statea "collect," but when they reach their destination the .recipient must pay double postage. Fig uring the;' double postage on .the same ba'sls, the foreign- population of the United States pays' during each year, for postage under the present system, $19,497,450. ; 0 ; Under the new and cheaper postal charges advocated by the Republican party, should the 2-cent rate become universal," the foreign population In the United States, to fheir direct cor respondents, would , only , pay $3,249,576 annually for direct postage and $9,748, 728, for letters sent to them from for eign" coUntrftis "coiiect,""' 'In ' other words, this Republican measure will save the highly esteemed adopted citi zens of our country, and those born here of foreign parentage $12,998,254 annually; Jn the necessary correspond ence with their loved ones abroad. But perhaps the Democrats do not think this is worth while.

Mr., Roosevelt's policies have been progressive and regulative; Mr. Bryan's destructive. Mr. Roose velt has favored regulation of the busi ness In which evils have grown up so fas to stamp out the evils and peruilt the business to continue. The tendency of Mr. Bryan's proposals has generally been destructive of the business with re spect to which he is demanding reform. Mr. Roosevelt would compel the trusts to 'Conduct their business in a lawful manner and. secure the benefits of their operation and the maintenance of the prosperity of the country of which they' are. an important part; while Mr, Bryan would extirpate and destroy the entire business In order to stamp out r the evils which they have practiced.
