Sixth Fnlvena Poata! Coasraaa.
"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

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

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

presentation at a postofflce in another

The other significant concession waa
that Id all World Postal Congresses' to

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.

(From Mr. Taft's Speech of Accep

' The' chlef difference between the' Re
publican and the Democratic 'platforms
is . the difference which . has' heretofore
been seen between the policies of Mr.
.Roosevelt and those which have been
advocated by the Democratic candidate,
Mr. pryan. 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
