United States in 1897, Mr. Armstrong said, with 83 carriers and an expendi- ture of less than `$15,000. In 1907 nearly 38,000 carriers were engaged, and the cost was nearly $27,000,000. Notwithstanding this enormous in- crease "in the cost of rural delivery, the total postal decit in the United States was actually less in 1907 than in I897-standing at $6,692,000 in the latter year, as compared with $11,411,- 000 in the former. Part of this show- ing is due to the fact that the num- ber of post olces has been largely reduced since rural delivery came_ in- to effect. The number of post-oices S -in the United States in 1901 was 77, - ooo. .-Had the normal increase con- tinued until last year 90,000 would be in _existence to-day, while as a matter A of factthere-were only 65,6o0 in 1906, T the` date of the lastuavailable returns.

In the course of his enquiry he visited Washington, where he obtained full reports on the cost and working of the system and its eect on farm conditions in the neighboring States.
