i remained nearly stationary, until, in
I tuc year 1815. poSe w reduced, and
in 1 $51 we had a uniform postage of
, lhree for Ietters, and a very low
; pota$re for newsDaoers.
Looking one step further before him
be saw the telegraph, which be had no
doubt, by and by, become a part of tbe
postal service of the country, and, lastly,
the telephone, an instrument by which
people can communicate and talk with
each other at a distance of from 100 to
200 miles, as already demonstrated,
and which is much cheaper than the
telegraph, lie said the time had come
for the Fostoffice Department to decide
whether it shall stop in its onward
progress, or whether it shall keep pace
with other improvements. The last
great step taken by the postal service
is the establishing of what is called fast
or through mails from one section of
the country to the other! Until within
a few years the general plan has been
to send out mail by this or that railroad,
without much regard to any general
system of inter-communication. In 1875
this fast mail system was started, and
i the idea of that and of the limited mail
wiy, that tha great lines of travel be
tween the east and the west should be
selected, upou which should be organ
ized great through lines of mail com
munication, and that the whole strength
of the Department should bt; centered
upou these main lines. Ihe great mass
of mail matter comes out from the
great centres of the Union, and, start
ing out from them is distributed all over.
the country, so that if the matn system
ot mail communication is thoroughly
! organized all other systems will ncces-
sarily follow on in the same way.
Mr. Hubbard then spoke of the ad
vantages which had been derived from
fast mail communication between New
York and Chicago, and New York and

Ex-Mayor Fox, of Philadelphia,
made su exceedingly interesting
speech, cenial, humorous, practical
and kindly.
Col. Bridgers said the railroads can
give faster mails than they are .giving,'
but a faster service always requires
more expenditure. They have been at
all times ready to meet the government
to the utmost ol" their ability. There
is no doubt that the mails, all' through
the South may be expedited. It was a
knowledge of'th-'s fact which led me to
insist that the Postal Commission
should come to the South and see for
themselves. I felt sure they, would
never get the information from the
railroad men which they wanted. I
advised them to uieti tbe business men
of ouc country. I iusistcd that they
would never lcara the wants of our
country until they met the busiuesa
men, and it was that which caused my
proposition.

showing the advances made iu the im
