We believe it .was elsewhere'as'it was he"re' in' this respect. No one of 1th e rural carriers set out deliberately with the idea of rs tablishing anything in the nature of the old stage coach ; oute. ' Passing every day. the farmers .found it a great convenience to send uito town by the carrier an order for such things as the carrier could bring with him in his .vehicle? "For this" service, he paid the Carrier sonieth"lng and found the investment ' both' convenient " and profit able because it saved him the great lops of time in going into town himSclf. This was one of the great elements of popularity in the' service and one Of, the most prao tical demonstrationa of jta value... y "i :j - '. Ayear ago this feature of the service was eliminated and the service put upon precisely the same basis as that of the city carriers. A carrier is now limited strictly to . carrying the mails. This averages about 20 pounds in weight and about a bushel in size eaeh day while. the in come received from the less than two pounds of mail matter originating on the average daily route is not over 41 cents against an average cost of over $2 a day, The writer concludes-his article wiH these word: "The re striction of the rural post wagon service deprives the Jpeople of its reasonable nse, cuts dowrr iu Turnings, re tards the development of Ihe country, and causes a de ficiency in the postal revenues, which for the year end- . . ing June 30, 1905, exceeded $14,000,000.'': ; ji . rf .
