In lSfiri, in the matter of making an appropriation for a rural free de livery seriice, the House Committee on Post offices and l'ost ltoads on ilemtied the scheme as imiracticab!e. Pitstmaster Ceneral Bissell iu his re oort for that year statist tliat in his oithrion "the Itepartineiit would not Is warrantd in burdeniug the Hoile will such a great expense." In his report for ISO! said that the $10,000 set aside for the experiment had not Ik'cu distributed lKcause it was not be lieved the teople were yet ready to involve themselves in au undertaking that would require for the first year "about twenty million dollars" more than had beey allowed it. In 1855 the appropriation for it was increased to Ml lum Mr. 7lson succeeded Mr. Bissell as Por-t master (Jeneral, but he held the same opinion of, the rural free deliv ery as did , his predecessor. InIMK' the appropriation was !nere.tsed to $40,(hn and the system put to7' a test. While the friends of tlie system have had a hard battle to fight; they have won. It is now tteyoml the experi mental stage. This stage culminated in 1S1X) with what is known as "The Carroll county Experiment." Previous to that time scattercil routes had been laid out in widely separated portions of the country, and the Department determined to inaugurate a full county service, substituting rural free deliv ery for star7 routes and forth class posiottices.Of this the Postal Mag azine says: "Carroll county, Maryland, whoso county7 seat, Westminster, lies about twenty-five miles clue north from Washington as the crow flies", and about seventy by rail, was selected for the experiment. It was chosen by reason of Its being a farming commun ity containing many scattered1 villages, but no large towns, thus forming ideal material for a network of rural routes; and at the same time present ing many topographical aud other physical conditions likely to be met with in a general Introduction of the' service, which its op-sonent. still used as an argument against the further extension of the system. On Decem ber 20, 1S9!, the experiment started with four postal wagons and thirty rural carriers, the number of carriers iK'ing afterward Increased . to thirty nine. As a result during the three months ended March .31, 1100, the quantity of mail handled Increased 40 wr i-ent; the uunilter of letters regis tered, 57 per cent: the number of money orders issued, 40 ler cent, and the tostal revenues. 23.5 per cent. Thus have been detnoustatcd three principal and salient points: First, tluit the rural carrier service can suc cessfully supplant the old system of star mutes and fourth class postofiiees: second that it is an effective agency for the extension of the registry and money order, systems; third, that it brings alsiul a vast im-erase in the ostal revenues of the (Jovernment, at a practically insignificant cost." Sine this, the system has been ex tended, to many places. During the montir ,of June, U0O. there were 77 free delivery routes established with 100 carriers. There is ni question but this sys tem will practically do away with the .fourth class postofiiees and star routes. The fourth class postmaster and the star ronte contractors are nltout all tliat will have a kick" coming. While it is true that the fourth class post master who has a little store will probably lose considerable" trade, the great mass of farmers will Ik greatly Itenefited. They will be permitted to liave their daily papers at the close of a hard day's work and know -what Is going on in the world. Perhaps most of them will have a chance to glance at the telegraphic reports during the noon hour while they are waiting for their teams to rest. There are but few farmers who have not a little time for reading. The rural delivery Is for the purpe of giving the farmer the same (rlvdege of getting his letters . and tapers without traveling several miles for them as is now enjoyed by the city j merchant. He has just as "much right, to consideart Ion, too. ? Tlie farmer should, however, meet the Depart-; ment half way and provide suitable; boxes for the reception of mail where: the carrier can deliver the mall with-! out having to get out of his convey- a nee and tie his -horse. Of course the young -lady who is exjtectlng a letter from her city lover will be at the gate when the carrier arrives, and he is expected to bring the coveted . letters with uniform regularity. Carriers are permitted to receive money for money orders and to return' rfte order or in close it In an envelope and post it for the 'sender. He is terndtted to receive and deliver registry mail, xrtl stamps, envelopes, etc. In fact it will give the farmer the advantages of the city with respect to mail facilities. Farmers should not fear that the establishment of rural free delivery will entail an ad ditional expense to them, and I ain sure that their taxes will be no high er. Counting the pay received by the fourth class postmasters at present, the amount paid star .routes, and con sidering the Increase In the postal revenue by reason of additional sale of postage, the appropriations required from the Hov eminent will not, I think; be materially. .increased, certainly not beyond compensation for the services IJe service rendered. .
