sweet potatoes by parcel post. Had he 

 applied to the grocery across the street 

 from me they could have been deliv- 

 ered by the rural carrier right to his 

 door for 29 cents. But they were ' seeds, 

 roots, bulbs or tubers for planting' and 

 would require 71 or 72 cents to go by 

 parcel post. The express company car- 

 ried them to for 25 cents. 



Should one of my customers require 

 eleven pounds of alfalfa to feed to his 

 canary it could go to any point reached 

 by our carrier for 15 cents, or any point 

 within fifty miles for 35 cents. But if 

 this customer intends to plant the seed 

 instead of feeding his bird, it would 

 cost him 88 cents to sfend either to any- 

 one on a route from this office or to 

 the remotest corner of the United 

 States. It is certainly a great system, 

 but who can call it just, fair or right?" 



THE CLEVELAND PBOGBAM.

 formerly president of the Great North-
