POSTAL SAVINGS. The Feature of Postmaster-Gen* eral Gary’s Report. rime Rip* for Its Establishment—now the System Works In Other Couutrlee— The Banks of the People—Suburban Free Delivery CoumientleU. Washington, Xov. 15.—The first annual report of Fostmaster-Geueral James A. Gary to the president was made public last night. Its feature is the strong advocacy of postal savings depositories, as a scheme over which | l’ostmaster-General Gary has worked I for several months in the formulation of plans to preseut to the president and ! eotigress, lie says the time is ripe for I the establishment, aud that the adoption of a well-organized system j would confer a great boon upon a large number of people aud ultimately be of inestimable benefit to i the whole country. The estimates, of the revenues and expenditures for the fiscal year endiug June 30, 1899, are: j Total postal re venue for 1897, $83,662,- j 463.73; add 5 per cent., §4. 133.973.13. Estimated revenue for 1898, §86,798,735.86; add 7 per Ceut., §6,075,911.51; ! total estimated reveuue for 1899, 893, - i 874,647.37. Estimated expenditures '■ for 1898, §98,933.760.00; deficiency for j | 1899, estimated, §6,048,113.63. Following is an abstract of the re- | ! port: The iucrease of the postal deficit for : 1897 is largely a reflection of the vie- ! pressed busiuess conditions which preI vailed all over the United States the ' first three-quarters of that period. | j There has been no extravagance of | expenditures, save that obligated by ! | law. Reiterating the injustice iu- j dieted both upon the postal revenues ! aiivl the people by second-class mall matter carriage regulations, the eu- j actmeut by congress of some measure | to remedy the wrong, similarly pointed I out by past postmaster generals, is ! urged. As to tuis the postmaster geu- j I eralsays: "if this were done there would be j au end to postal deficits, aud the j \ service could be enlarged aud popular- j izevl by a broad extension of free vie i | livery without infringement upon the general resources of the government aud eventually result iu the mueh-de- I i si red reduction of letter postage tooae j ceut per ouuoe.”

meinou oi pcrieet organization j of the postal service has proved more \ effective thau the consolidation Of I post offices. Legislative restriction* ou ' its development are to be regretted aud a repeal of the five-mile limit eon- ! solidutiou measure iu the ls‘>'» postal appropriation bill is reeomended. The experimental rural free delivery has been generously appreciated; j few expenditures have conferred j greater benefits in proportion, and it has unquestionably proved a potent factor iu attaining what should be a chief aim of government—the granting of the best possible postal facilities to the farming class. The report reviews in detail the operations of the various branches of the department. - The portion on the subject of postal savings in brief follows: Mauy millions of dollars are undoubtedly secreted by people who have little or no confidence in ordinary securities aud mouetary institutions organized by private citizens. It is dead capital, liut if its owners could be inspired with absolute confidence in the security of au investment, it is altogether probable that the bulk of this fund would find its way into the channels of trade and commerce. If the government undertook this task, the service would undoubtedly be gladly accepted by the people. Their faith iu the government is unbounded. Their little savings, which separately could hardly be put out at interest, would arnouut, iu the : aggregate, to a sum tnat could be invested to their advantage, it would tend to cultivate thrift iu a large class realizing the advantage of depositing with the government, instead of wastefully aud uselessly expending, it would tend to better citizenship; bring iutu closer relationship the government j aud its, citizens, aud develope prac- j tical and enduring patriotism. This \ growth of patriotic sentiment and j good citizenship constitute a powerful j appeal to statesmanship to make a w ay for thes^beueficeut consequences. The proposition is au accomplished fact iu nearly every country in Europe, | iu the British dependencies of both j hemispheres, aud even iu Hawaii. Iu Great Britain seven million de- j positors have upward of $550,ODD,00J in j savings accumulated during So years, j and in 10 years fewer than 10,000 Hawaiian depositors saved nearly SI.000.000. Deposits in Canada iu 20 years exceeded 322,000,000. These vast accumulations have been mule with the least possible loss to the governments which guarantee their repayment and with a minimum of cost to the millions of depositors. More than a thousand postal savings accounts in European offices art held by minors, and over twothirds by the most humble callings. It is essentially the bank of this class. Postal savings would uot conflict with other saving banks, but would encourage savings rather than accumulations. The conversion of money order offices into savings depositories would soon afford indefinitely more facility for receiving interest-bearing deposits than the interest-paying banks do now. The most aggressive opponents arc among the private institutions engaged in somewhat similar enterprises, though associations of the larger cities recognize in it a valuable feeder to the financial currents of the country. Security, and not the rate of interest, is the primary and essential condition of such a system; aud bonds of states, counties and municipalities and real estate furnish an illimitable field. Comparing other countries, the postmaster general says nearly every country permits its most popular coin as the minimum amount of deposit, varying from five cents in India to one cent iu Canadib
