" ; f , .. , CONGRESSMAN AIKEN. Makes His First Speech which was ' an Eloquent and Convincing Pre- \ sentation of a Worthy Cause. Mr Speaker . Early in the session I q hill nrnvidinp- fnr t.he nav- ! ment of salaries of $900 per annnm to ! rural mail carriers. The postmaster general in his report recommends that they be paid $750. which amount I think entirely inadequate. In discussing this question it is well ; to bear in mind the fact that there are j other considerations than that of the 1 mere money involved ; considerations which should claim the attention of 1 every member of this body, for they * touch not the carriers only but some 1 25,000,000 farmers who have the right 1 to expect fair treatment at our hands. 1 The rapid decline in the number of the more prosperous residents in the . country and the consequent increase 1 of population in our towns and cities 1 indicates a most unhealthy condition ! in our industrial policy, a condition which, if not altered, must lead to \ grave consequences. ' ~ 1 1f alflton af fKi'o Hqtt I J. I1C lUtClll^CUV VI VU19 UUJ , whether on the farm, in the store, in * the factory, or whatever may be his 1 vocation, wants to be ever io touch 1 with the public pulse and wants to enjoy at least a portion of the comforts 1 and conveniences of life. In too many instances, rather than lead a life of isolation and have his family and himself deprived of so many of the conve- J niences and even necessities of these ; days, the rural citizen will leave his 1 home, place his lands in the hands of ' improvident and irresponsible tenants, ' and move to the towns and cities where 1 better advantages are offered. ' This is no ejageration ; it is but the I nlain truth. I have seen some of the ( most intelligent and thrifty rural communities of my own State broken up, and I have seen the congestion of our towDs and cities, small as they are, and the cause is usually traceable to dispo* sition to get away from tbe loneliness and the lack of educational facilities of the country and to seek the conveniences which the towns afford. It is a principle so well understood that I need scarcely repeat it, "that our prosperity may be measured largeby the productions of our soil." This, in the last analysis, is the foundation of wealth, and anything that contri +? ? a nnntonfod nriH nrnsnfirntlft rural population contributes to the wealth of the nation. ( That man will be fortunate and a 1 benefactor indeed who can devise any 1 measure of public policy that will con- ' tribute to the contentment and pros- 1 perity of that portion of our people 1 who till the so'l and whose labors con- 1 tribute so largely to the wealth of our 1 country. The agriculturists of the ' United States constitute practically t one-half of our entire population, and if this government can afford to send ' armies and navies to right the wrongs 1 of the Cubans and the far-away Filipi 1 nos it can certainly afford to make a j reasonable annual allowance to carry ' the mails to our own people. (Ap- * plause.) " " ( Personally I am in favor of spending ! the money at home, amongst the peo- ' pie who pay the taxes, support the 1 government, and fight the battles of 1 the country, and whom we are sent , here to represent. (Applause.) Only 1 a few generations have passed-since our : Southern States were aottod all over 1 with attractive and hospitbble homes, k surrounded by all that could possibly 1 add to the comfort and pleasure as well as the education and refinement of ' their owners. 1 That was a population representing V. IAPf r? orrraa nf <-?rrnTT7f Vl infT A kUC UJgUgOUUVgiV/U V* v * VI J Wkvw.. 1 able in citizenship. These were the homes of virtue, intelligence and pa- 1 trioism, and from them came young ( men whose wisdom, courage and devo- 1 tion to duty made them worthy and v eminent citizens of the republic- But 1 with the rapid advancement in the j modes of travel, the facilities for the spread of information through the | towns and cities, life in the country became, in comparison, slow and irksome. 1 People on the farm felt that they > were not keeping step with the progress of the age iu which they were living. The result is that.many of these splendid country homes have been deserted, and we are losing the benefit of a good part of that honest, virtuous and strong 1 population that a wholesome and atr tractive country life always furnishes. (Applause.) All thesurplus wealth of the country 1 is to-day concentrated in the cities and lfirott towns. We should offer everv in ducement for the educated man to en gage in the honorable and happy pursuit af agriculture. We want him to have every convenience of the town 1 that it is possible for him to have and all the encouragement the postoffice and agricultural departments can possibly give him to put farming on as sound scientific and financial basis as are the other vocations. (Applause.) I do not advocate paternalism on the part of the governmegt, but I do say that the eovernment should lose no opportunity of granting the demand of rural districts, when those demands 1 are based on justice and are simply in line with such as have been granted to more populous sections. In South Carolina, realizing the necessity for making country life more attractive, the legislature at its last session passed an act providing free rural public school libraries. Another act along the same line gives one or more scholarships annually in Clemson College, one of the best : institutions of its kind in this country, to each county of the State, exclusively for students desiring to take 1 the agricultural course. i In national legislation the rural free delivery is a great step in the right ?' direction, but it is yet in its infancy. It needs much enconragement and intelligent study to perfect its methods. The pay of the carriers should be such;as to insure the best and most painstaking |service. It should be enough to induce educated and ambitious men, who will endeavor to imprtve and perfect the service, to compete for the positions. The rural earners should be raid sufficient salaries to avoid the necessity of these good men being compelled to do an express and post-parcel business, and of being reduced almost to the level of hucksters and peddlers to enable them to make ends meet. The postoffice department was never intended as a moneymaking institution, but is for the convenience of the neonle. All its machinery necessary should be used to make the delivery of mail in the country as nearly like the freo delivery in the cities as possible. With the result accomplished we can go to our homes conscious of having done some little measure of justice to the most neglected of all our people. But let us consider the question for a moment from a financial standpoint, though I contend that this solely is not a proper standard of measurement. Referring to the report of the postmaster general, we find that for six months?January and June of 1903 inclusive?the average monthly can cellation of postage stamps on eacn route was $11.22, and the average pay received by the carriers $49.78. B If*, ' It is stated of good authority that the mail received by the patrons on these routes has been incrrased several hundred per cent since their es ablish-! Bi ment. Is it not reasonable to suppose I t?umnn<]iMie inorpoop in in!lil I LlltlU tills licaivuuvuo ??iv?vmwv ? received is due, in large measure, to ^ the establishment of the rural delivery j system? And if due to this system, '^j should it not be considered a part of.' the earning capacity of the system ? ^ The total cancellation of stamps for ^a mail collected on the rural routes 8t luring the period referred to on 48, 354,390 pieces amounted to S949.04S, or fll 22 per month for each carrier, is se but a small part of their earnings, if n( you consider that 303,498,128 pieces ta tvere delivered l>y them in the rural at iistricts during the so e period?something like six times more than was aI lelivered during a like period under h{ the old system. > j If the carriers receive credit for a s|( just proportion of the cancellations on al account of increased delivery it can m readily be seen that they are at least ^ self sustaining, if not a source of revenue There is one omer niiauumi jj. feature which we should bear in mind DI in passing. This increase of communi- Jj. 2ation between country and town 1111- U| ioubtedely increases commercial ^ transactions and results in profit to the towns- The cities and towns are svell compensated for any tax for the C purpose. I The good people living in the coun- ej try deserve as much consideration at the hands of the government as these te ivho live in the towns and cities. Mil- t lions are voted annually for the w improvements of rivers and harbors. Other millions are sought for ship subsidies and others for special fast mail trains between large cties. Why ^ jannot a reasonable amount be appro- ' priated for the improvements of k country life and in .aid of scientific farming? (Applause.) The country, where lives many of the best of our population, the great * storehouse from which our cities must iraw new blood, after the inevitable lecline that comes to all overcrowded sections, should be made as aitractive , is the city. At least a portion of the mliJnh nntp'flnWS into the DOOU wcaicii r?uvu K loas sections should be retained in the ^ jountry by the intelligent and indust- p rious farmers; and it should be the policy of the government, within reasonable bounds, to use every offort ? to induce them to remain there in con- jv tentment. Let us return specifically to the cause 3f the carriers. The city carriers are . paid $1,000, $800, and $600, xespectively ind where it is necessary they are furnished a conveyance, or $300 *' i lieu of a conveyance. They walk the streets of a wellpaved city and are it no expence for they own mainteaance. It is seldom that he resigns; ? ance the position is secured he grows ^ ;ray in the service, How is it with the rural carrier? He ? is paid only .fouu, anu uc ia to furnish his own horse, buggy, har- p aess at a cost of about $150 or $300 to 3tart with. This outfit must necessarily be replaced with a new one at the end three years. Those who are informsd know that 17 miles a day the year round, or 25 miles every other day is the full capacity of a good roadster, and when driven more than this a horse seldom lasts for more than about two years. The carrier must pay out about $140 a year for horse feed, repairs to vehicles and harness and shoeing horses., It can be safely asserted that he ca must pay out a capital J300 per year, 0l which leaves only $300 for his services 8l and with which so maintain himself jn and family. Contrast, if you please, the difficul- ^ ties of his service wi'h those of his fellow-carrier in the city. His round ar 01 2D or <5U miles Iliuab UC xxiauv/ v t vi j | day, over roads often almost impass- w able. In sweltering August and freez- ^ ing January he must trudge over the a same dreary route, braving the danger ag of crossing swollen streams, meetir g highwaymen, numerous other possible a attendant dangers. And for what? ,] For the pitiful sum of $300. But some will say that the people re are anxious for the places even at the iD price. Granted that they are. It does not justify a parsimonious policy on ^ the part of the government, and, above w all things, an unfair discrimination f against him. There is no justice in this parsimonious treatment. We gn should provide more liberally for q those overworked and underpaid r public servants. (Applause.) Is there any wonder that our ru al * carriers frequently resign? In South Carolina alone about seventy have resigned in the two or three years that l the system has been in operation chere, while in the United States something fiC like 19 per cent of the whole number ? employed resigned in a single year. . Mr. Speaker, no employer on this . floor cares to pay less for work than . fair, living wages. Surely we ought not willingly take advantage of the extremity of the poorer carriers, who must work to ,' support themselves and families, even if it is for a mere subsistence, when we ,. are generally so liberal in our appro'p- * riations for public services, past and present. The rural free delivery has long since ? passed the experimental stage; it has the approval of our best citizens, et North and South, as no other public . measure has, It is time we are begin- fV ning to look on it as a reality and give . it adequate support, for in no other * way are the people's taxes re&urneu . more directly to them. As stated, my bill provides $900 per D( annum for the pay of each rural carrier. ^ It is not graduated for the reason that P1 the greatest expense is incurred on 1(.J entering the service; and even this amount will not put him on equal ** footing with the city carrier.
