The louse beIig in ('ommnitte, of the Whole, and h'ving under considt'ra Iion the bill (II. R. 11728) to elassify the rural free-delivery service and lix the compensatio n to eilloyees there'f.. Mr. Latimer sail: Mr. Chairman: D)uring the ten years that I have b eeon a member of this house, I have learned, in listen. ing to the debates on the multitude of propositions that have been pro sented here, that there are gentle men on this floor who can make a good argument on either side of a qluestion. I realize that there are two sides to most propositions which come up for discussion here. The varied in teresta and conditions of the coun try give rise to divergent views upon nearly every public question. But the argument and practical policy of the question before the house are so clearly on one side that I am at a loss to undetstand why there should be a difference of opinion in relation to it. The great advantages derived by the people from the rural free-deliv ery system, I take it, are not in ques tion in this discussion. W'e are all agreed upon the merits of the sys tom, and it is upon a question of ad. ministration only that we disagree. The leading points that have been made in favor of the bill placing the rural delivery service under the con tract system are, first, that it will prove economical to the government and will equalize the compensation of the carriers, and, second, that it will largely remove the service from political influences. As to the first proposition, it is a remarkable fact that where service is to be rendered in the country or rural districts the question of econ omy is always predominiant ; but we hear no complaint of the fact that in the cities the carriers of mail receive from $000 to $1,000 p'r annum for eight hours' service, nor do we hear the proponents of this bill complain ing that the number of carriers for the cities has been doubled in order order that the mail can be delivered from four to ten times n (lay to a population living within easy reach of the post olice, 4ho most remote being not more than half a mile away from the main post oflice or a substation, with street cars penetrat. ing every section of the city, andl b)eaut.ifully paved streets to watlk on in case exercise is desired. Thlese highly favored fellow-citizens mu ist have mail carriers wvho atri exempt from the injurious contract system, lest the service he enippIledl, the quies tion of economJy not1 being conisidl ered ; but it m ,st be applied to the rural mnail carrier, it. matters not howv much it will degrade anid lower t.he standard of the service. Why this discrimination in favor of the cities ? Can it he successfully contended that the city can not be0 laidl off in o routes as clearly defined as those in the country, or that the city service requires superior fitness or gnalities not required in the rural carrier? There c-An be noC force in the first proposition, and it is well known that the city carrier is niot re quired to register letters, handle re ceipts for the same, or sell stamps anid envelopes, all of which the rural carrier is required to do If yon will examine the question you will find that the carrier on rural routes has much greater responsibilities than the carrier on the city routes. He is in facd a traveling post office, and if a diticriminat ion is to be made it should 'oe in his favor. Besides, the city carrier does not have to un dergo the hardship of exposure to rain, sleet, snow, mud, and all kinds of weather. Manty of the large build ings in New York and Chicago, as stated by the gentleman from Illi nois, require four and five carriers to deliver .the mail to the occnpants. Ib it to be -contended that these car riers who ride on elevators in com fortable buildings shall be exempt from the contract system and allow od to draw from $800 to $I,00) per annum, while the rural carrier, with greater responsibilities and conpollod to undorgo exposure to all kinds of weather, is to ho ground down to the lowest, prico which ia comnpetitive bid will force? If economy is your objoct-and you contend that millions of dollars will be saved annually to the gov ornmont by tho contract systom-why put the $7,000,000 paid the rural carrier under the contract system, and at the same t im squander over seventeen millions to the city carrier under the salary system Y I will go further and say. If the contract systemn will result in as good service and a saving of millions in the rural free delivery service, why do you not frame a bill and pass it putting the Railway Mail Service and the post masters throughout the country un der the same economical system? You could easily have all applicants who pass an examination submit bids for tho service by contract, and let it go to the lowest responsible bidder. Your answer that the law now pro vides for salaries to the city carrier, the railway mail clerk, and the post. masters, and that you are not now dealing with that problem, is no an swer. The postotlice and post roads committee has the right and power to frame a bill and present to this house providing for the repeal of ex isting law, and it is to be said that where inequalities exist, where a use less waste of public money can be prevented by a change in the law, that this body which created the law is to stand in awe of an act because it protects a certain favored class and gives to the city carrier, railway mail clerk, and postmasters a salary system at a loss of miLions to the government? Will you refuse to re peal the law, and at the same time strike down the rural carrier to a competitive bid basis, a contract sys tem which has never given sat.isfac tion to the people after a fair trial, upon the false and specious plea of economy ? If economy is what we are after, let us be consistent; let us commence at the beginning and carry it all along through the service of the government. Mr. Chairman, the chairman of the committee [Mr. Loud ] has op posed in the past many needed re forms in the postal service and stood, is he stands today, in opposition to the policies advocated by the post otlico department, as well as by many of the best informed men on postal matters ill the country. I remember in thle last congress whlen I offered1 ani amendcment to thle postollice bill, p)rovidling that all towns should have free dolivery, hei opposed the amlenld mint, andl it was ruled ouit on a point. of order. I then appealedi to him to rep,ort a bill, giving the honse anlop portnnlity to (10 justice to miore than 20( 000O,000t of on r people who live in towns without free delivery service. I stated to him that the cities ablove 10000 in habitants had free doelivery and t.be country had rural delivery, and( thait the bouse onght to have an oppo)rtuii*ty to do tardy justice to thle towns; but h~ arnd hlis committee refnsed to take any steps in that dli rect ion. We tried last session to ameod the star route service by reqniring the contractor to live on theO roulte, anid in that way remedy the evil that ex isted ini thlat service, but the amend mont was ruled out on a point of or dler made bly tile chairman of the coirmmittee, who was against the amehd ment. Th e postoflice depart. rment, hlowever, realizing the miser able service that the rural districts had t.o endure by reason of tho ub) contracting system, issueOd aii order to the effect that all nlow cont racts in the star route service shiouild ha let to residcents on the route. This reform, which was resisted by. t he chairman of the committee, has beeon endorsed by him today. So wve may expect to find the honorable gentleman con tendinmg againri the contract system one year from now. H{is recommend ation of tis so called1 reform, ther~e fore, loses much of its force and of feet when viewed in the light of his rnistakes of the past. Again, it has been contended by the navocates of the bill t.hat the lengtl. of the routes are not. uniforni; that the roads vary from lovel, ma. cadamized, to hilly, mountainous, and muddy roads, and that, thero. fore, the contract system i.i the only just and equitable ono. Iii reply to this contontion, 1. will state whtt. every mnomber knows to he t rue, t hat on many of the worst roads to be traveled the anxious bidder, under the contract system, will, in his anxiety for the contract, do as 11a boon dlono in the star-route service, submit it bid much below the amo, unt paid for service ovor bettor roads and for less than the service will actually cost. It may be said that that is the contractor's fault. But that will not e(<ualiz9 the service; nor botter it, surely. Must we have economy at the cost of total ruin and dlestructicn of the serviceY Is such it proposition worth y of the name of economy Y A bet ter plan than that proposed by this bill would ho to pay all carriers $25 per mile, and it certain per ce'it additional in all cases where tih roads to be traveled are of such na ture as to make the alditional per cent equitable, the route agent or inspector being required to report on the condition of the road. This plan will pay the carrier on a route of 24 miles $00, which is adequate, and will, in addition, gutar. antee good service in every comum nity. But I contend that the por cent for bad roads is not so neces sary as would appear at. first glance, for the reason that $25 per mile will [not, as it rule, be more coml penlsat lol to the carrier who travels good roads than it will be to the carrier who travels rough roads. The opportl nities to make money and to save ioney will about equalize the diller. ence in the condition of the roads; that is to say, the carrier who trav els good roads, the community being populous, living will ho higher and oxpenses greater, while, on the other hand, his opportunity to make a dollar will be greater; whereas the carrier on bad roads will be able to live for loss, his expenses will be less, and his money will buy more in his thinly settled colmunity. As to the political phase of this proposition, I fail to so0 much difler once between the two systeis. The party in power can use either for political purposes, and if the Ho publican administration uses it we will have the same privilege when we come into power. I have never heard of any system, the civil service inclnded, that could not be mlaniplu lated ill tile interest of till party in p)ower. I remombier dliscussitIg the civil service wvithI an oflicer of the government who hlad takent charge of a bureau of one of tile dlepart ments. I said to hlim: "Suppose you had( a chief of dlivisioni or a clerk ini your bureau who wvas object.ionable to you, what could you (10 underlo the rules of the civil service, whlile lhe performed eflicient service, to rid1 yourself of him ?" lHe replied thlat it would b)e easy to ab)oilih the ot1eo hold1 b)y the objectionable person, and after 110 was out re es tablish it. I unhesitatingly state that if I was in charge of any department of this government, withl tihe responsiility of good1 administration resting on me, I wvould wanIt nployes in full accordi anId harmony with mie, anid wouldI certinly feel kindly, there fore, to the adherents of tile party to which I belong. If it seems desira ble0, the party in power can manipu late the offRces unider any system. T1his we might as well concodo nlow. Trhe rural service ander thme salary system is about as free, antd more so, perhaps, from political manipulation as any other service of the govern. mont. I desire to say that every apn- intel) in my dlistrict, some sa. ty-odd, who is engaged in ito livering tile mail on rural routes, has b)een appointed upon mIy recomn mendation, and every one of tihem, so far as I know, is a Democrat, and I presume those who will be0 ap pointed there to complete tihe service will he Democrats. But you Democratic members in close districts, who have not been so well treated, and have hlad no voice in naming the carriers, how nan inn iuprovo that condition under the cont ract systoil ti 'I'ho special agent, uinder that systomu, will pass upon or examino tho bids and recominud which bid shall be accepted, and the dlpart ent will have the right of selection. Both plans, I boliove, aire e<inally capable of being usod for 1olitical purposes, if so dosired. The recenit ordor requiring all appli. canlt for carrior's position to Htarntd an oxalliiation removes the service a.s far froin political influonco as is possibl unidr any systl. Th' n to o <iuestion i narrowed down to this one proposition ---tihe host service at the lowost, prico, every thing being considered. I am, there fore, against, this bill, and in my judgment wo will accomphish the, host results by passing the appro priation for the rural delivory ser vice just as we do for the city delivery service, in i lump smn and without restriction, Ieavirg to the depart inent the task of working out the do tails along liiIes suggested by ox pe'rienvo and at wide knowledlge of postal afflairs. Tl'he department has developed the service to its present high state of usefulness to the gonoral satisfaction of t he country and a large majority of this house, and I have hoard no sound reason for a change except 1ponl the ground of economy arid freedom from political influence, both of which arguments have been fully answered anid left without force in this discussion. Le't mue, in conclusion, appeal to the frimoils of rural free delivery to stand in solid phalanx against this bill, 1nd every other proposition brought in hie by the enemies of the sor vice. This appeal is made on1 behalf of millions of our people who live on farms or follow other avocations away from the mail advantages of towns and cities. Before the estab lishment of rural delivery these poo ple rarely roceivel muail more than once or twice a week, and were, con se'gnnont ly, Ilracticall3 cut off from knowledge of and interest in the affairs of the world. Only those who have led the life of a farmer mn the thinly settled communities of this count ry can properly appreciate the great blessing that this service is to the country people. I bog you not to cripple it by any falso notions of economy. The farmer who was wont to labor in the fields day in and day out and go home at night to his frugal meal and lonely fireside, with nothing to relieve the rmonotony of existence save, perhaps, thie occasional visit of a friend from the neighboring farm, is now talkinig a (laily paper, wvhich is doelivered1 at his door, and( after his wvork is over lie reados it and keeps abreast of the timles. lie hans thrown oil tihe lethar gy oIf isolation and( taken on the spirit of progress and14 impijrovemnrt. Lie receives daily rep)orts from the rmar kets, arnd knows when and where to send11 his produce for sale; he inltrodlu. COs niew methods in his work, which rednes labor and4 expense; he diver silies his crops accordling to tile (de mland(s of the0 market, and( be takes a lively interest in the public qjues tionls of tihe day. 113 is, in short, an up-to-date American citizen, broad enling( and exp)andling in productive power andi intellectual force, andi it is but1 jus5t to say that the system of bringing to him his mail daily 1has b)een a great step in the accomplish ment of this wond(erfutl change. Let us [lot take from the country p)eople the on10 b)orn tha8t the government has given them (directly; but let us foster it and( imiprove it; so that it will meet tIle growir,. needs1 of the hour, and in building up) the country people build up every other occupa tion and( b)ranch of iridust ry. ,.T1 EtIt F1tOM SENAToiC TILELMAN, Ho Exzpinn Ils IRemnarks Made in Ils Apoulogy to the Snenate. [G~ reenwood Journal, 11th1.] Senlator Tillman has been severely criticised by the press and individ uials from one end of the country to the other in reference to the language he usd in his apology to the Senate. While his friends could not clearly und(erstand his meaning when hle said1 that having been governor of Sonth Carolina had nmited him in a measure to con form io th rilos of a high dolilblrativo body, such ats the Senate of the United States, they woro confidoit that ho could n ot have intended any reflection upon the of fico of governor of this State or its poople. For this reason AMr. I). II. Magill wrote him to explain and the senator replied in the following lot tor: United States Sonat, } larch, -1, 1902. lIon. ). I. Magill, G roonwood, S. C. Doar Sir: -I have your kind lot. ter of March, 1st. I n reference to the expression used by me in my apology to the Senate, that "My pro vious service as (lovernor of South Carolina for foer years had unfitted me in n measure to ontor this august assembly, with the dignity and re gard--proper regard -I will say, for its traditions and habits and rules that is <losirable." I would say that the only roasonable construction to put on the words, and my mninie; was that when I was governor it was my business to handle problems, many of them very iilportaint and without consulting any one, anid act entirely on muy own responsibility, and the habit of mind which natur ally resulted, from that manner of thought and action, and the work as executive, unfitted me im at measure for service here. Nono but a gan - groned imagination, or some one anxious to misconstrue, will think that I meant that a governor of South Carolina can not be dignified and act with decency and courtesy on all occasions. Things are so different. in the Senate that I have never yet. becomo used to them. While I am writing, I wish to nay that my action here was a necessity, and while I regret as much as any one that circumstances were of a na ture, so I had no alternative but to strike my colleague, I believe my ac tion meets with the approval of at large majority of the Democrats in the House and Senate. Not that they approve the giving of a blow in the Senate, but they think there was nothing else to do, and had 1 taken the lie my own self-respect would have ben gone, and my ser vice hero in the future - f no effect. So then, I have but one comment to make in answer to newspaper criticisms published in South Caro lina. It does look hard, that when I am making the best fight I can against the Iepublicans here, and acting in the capacity of one of the fighters in tihe Sonate, delegated by the Dom11. ocratic Ridle to answer the stronigest Republican, Senator Spooner, on a patrty question, that somel of my own people, Deomocrats in reality or apr p)arently, should stab -noe in thie biack, while I am engaged atll atlong the 1l1n0 iln front by ReopubllicalnN. It however de1 sonstrates thie fact (lhat there are some ill South Carolina, who are anti Tillmanites, first and Democrats afterwards atnd will seize on any and every thing to give me a stab). We will let that pass though, and I will go back to my peop)le feeling, as I have felt for a long while that I harve thle relipect and support of a large majority of themn anid for those who are so narrow anid projnd(iced1 as to be unable to see any goodI in any thing that I do, I feel only contempt and pity. The dlinner incident was not of moy making and in that I have no dloubt as to the sentiment of thie folks at home. T1he statement has been made that it was an ofhfiil dliinner. Trhis is nnt rue because Pier pont Mor gani, Rob)t. Lincoln and tori or fifteen other private citizens were invited. TIhe invitation to me came unsonght. I had no special desire to atttend( the function but before I had any notice whatever that it was desired that moy acceptance be withdrawn the whole thing was ventilatedl in (lie morning papers, and I was thus notified pub licly that thie President was trying to punish a Senator, before (lie Sen ate bad taken action. Had the Pres idlent sent a mutual friend, in a quiet way suggesting that it would he an awkward situation, any roan who knows me at all, knows how quickly I would have relieved him of his em barrassment. Thanking you for your kind letter andI with goad wisbes. Yours sincerely, B. It Tillman. IS IT WARREN'S BODY, OR IS IT A FAKE? 1*Alt'I'INY 1)h: (TMil'OiSPICotlt'H1, FOItrNI) IN r:C 1,"i( IC IVIt.
