The great mojority will bail with joy a relief $rom their _dependence upon the telegraph com- panics, withous which relief they never can be eotirclyfree. - The Department could not, of course, attempt to regulate the membership of pross’ associa- tions. ;Tt conld, however, abolish the distinction in charge betweenassociation and outside papers ith regard to special despaiches, Looking upon the press as @ greel agent of popular education, the Government would mnke s liberal reduction in its fovor from the tariff for privaie mesuaifl and ould measure the charge by the work done, whether for a single_psper or an association. The rates, it is hoped, would be solow as to per- it a free use of the telegraph by all. Therent- ing of special wires Dy o press would be en- cotrage The considerations above noted have long ap- peeled to Congress for the cstsblishment of & ‘Postal telegraph. The importance of the meas- Tire hes been urged from all points of view—by State Legislatures, by Boards of Trads, by Com- mercial Conventions, by the incependent press, znd by private persons, many of whom have been prominently identified with tho practical workings of the telegraphn this snd otlier coun- Iries, The logislation of Congress, which had revionsly been confin to the fberal munsgement of {te telegraph in private bhands, was directed, Sfter the close of the rebellion, toward its as- ‘Sumption by the Government as part of the Post Office establishment. _Strennous opposition was mssifested fo this Droposal. | The ressons al- Jeged against its adoption were principally - Tiat the :a;sgm’;n was escentially 5 private snterest, and ehonld ot bo_controlled by Gov- ernment, especially in a republic. 2.

The other objections to such a oourse baving, it is believel, been folly answered, it only remains to be shown that the expense of _acquiring &% com- rehensive u;?tem of lines can be easily orne, and that the system, once acquired, can om0 tmanaged a5 to reslize from the Teceipts of tho telogragh iteelf suficient, after meoting ll expenses, to pay the interest on the purchase Toney, provided for all. necessary annual exten- Hions.

Upon the Eaprosition, however, that if the companies not now operat- ing under tho act shall decline to accept its pro- ~visions, it will be neceseary for the Government t0 build lines of its own covering their territory, 1 have made tho following estimates, toincludo tho total facilities of all the companice, as shovn in the tablo (Tolegraphs, 3), viz., 77,000 miles of Tine and 165,000 miles of wire. The majority of lines in this country have been built very cheaply, their entire oost, in- cluding patents, being_probably much less than 10,000,000 In fact, the poles have been ercot- cd in many cases entirely withoub cost to the telograph companies, by_the railrosds along whose tracks they ire built. Bub shomld it prove impossible for the appraisers to ascertain this _ cost for each of tho companies, the sum for which tho Government could duplicato the existing syster i8 eaaily determined. Data in posseesion of this Department show that many lines have been 1ately built, probably not of ihe best quality, but Tully up to the average standard, for not more than $115 per mile of single-wire lige, and £30 per milo of additional wirs, For equipmont, an allowance of 85 per milo of line is ample, Were all the wires fo bo strang at the same tim, a8 they would be if the present system wero to be duplicated by the Government, the cost would ‘probably bo much less. The cost of & new eys- tem, cqual in extent to the present, would, at the hbove rates, bo S11,880,000. Dlany of tbe wwires having, bowoser, been in use for a long time, the appraisers would probably dednct larzely Zrom this amout on account of deterior- ation; but the sum o deducted, at least, would have fo be paid out for reconstruction. It may b proper to stato that one of the companies hss advanced the theory that tho Government should purchase, not only its telc- graph lines, property, and effcets, but also the good-will of its business, based on present and ‘Prospective profits. _As it is difficult to seo how Tmera good-will can be brought before the ap- raisers, under the law as it stends, it is, per- fps, vancceseary for me to discuss ot much Jength the merits of this claim. It has nob hitherto been thought necoseary for the Govern- ‘mont, in_undertaking enterprises in which pri- vate parties are also engaged, either to acquiro the facilities of such private ‘parties, or to com- pensate’ them for their loss on account of its Competition. Up to the year 1866, the Govern- ment was cerfainly b~ liberty to compete with telegraph companies, @8 it pow does with banks and express companies in its moneg-order business and parcel-post. T7, then, a5 claimed by this company, the act of 1866 bound the Government not o enter thotel- egraphic field for five years, and when jt did en- ter to buy ont the existing lines instead of build- ing & more perfect system of ita own, the prant- ing of these and the other concessions contained in tho act ought to have improved the position of the Government, instead of msking it worse. There 788 NOTfuny LURPUISUTY HOOTY L6 avt its acceptance by the companies was purely vol- untary. It looked toward a fature postal tele- guamh, set s timo after which the companies ‘might expect to sea one established, and offered inducements, which it seems were sufficient, for the companica to agree to yield up their facili- ties npon the expiration of the time designated. "The manner in which the British Government zecently acquired tho tolegraphs cannot o eted a8 a precedent for the ted States. Thsre was no such previons agreement between Her Majesty’s Government and the compenies of tho United Kingdom as 38 contained in our act of 1866. Tho British Government offered ta pay tenty years® profits, and, the companies having sccepied the proposition, the sitting Parliament ganctioned it. tha companies beon earning 5 per cent, which is s fair return o British capi- on a reliable home_investment, the price would have simply equalled the cost of the lines. Tt turned ont that their profits were neater 15 per cent; out the new Parliament, with some oppo~ sition, sustained the agreement, and authorized the expenditare. It must bo remembered, how- over, ~that the Dritish Government Las slways derived & revenuo from its Post Office, end maturally “fook & commercial view of the acquisition of the tele- graphs, The argument was, that, if tho profits were higher than was expected, the Government wrould get so much more for its money, and the sooner the porchase was completed the better. The comprehensive, energatic, and caroful man- agement of AIr. Scadsmore and his pssociates has enabled the British Government to realize this view. Without the data to be acquired by the com- ‘mission which I have asked to be appointed, I cannat give an accurate estimate of the additional Tfacilities which will be necessary to meet the in- crease of business on existing routes, or the ex- act extensions which ehould -be undertaken to points not now reached by the telc[;‘:nplp ‘With thorough reconstruction, however, the use of im- proved instruments, and the separation of postal from railway, wires, the capacity of existing Toutes may, without doubt, be doubled. Cer- tainly will this be the caso if, 28 is anticipated, the additional messages induced by Jow tarifls are largely of & social character, sent out of Dusiness lonrs, and permitting a more equal distribution of business throughout the day and night. An increment of twenty messages per dsy between mny two officen will, at an average Teceipt of 33 cents, yield 31,950 per year of 300 working days, which will put up 60 iles of ad- ditional wire, st $30 per mile, and leave $180 for additional expenses. A business of forty mes- sages dally, twenty each wey, will yield £,960, sufficient to build 2 singlo wir line 25 miles, at 130 per ‘mile (including $10 per mile for addi- fional oxpensé sway from railroads), leaving 710 for opersting and oxpenses, \henever, Therefore, such an_increase takes placs on g cir- uit alcoddy osablished, or such 3 business cea be predicted of an office’sway from tho line, the extensions will be justified. There are, un- doubtedly, large districts and important points wholly unprovided with telegraphic facilitics, but I cannot at present indicate them with accu- racy. The prosent system extends to 6,162 dif- ferent points, with about 600 branch offices, At perhaps 1,000 of these, principally mere railroad stations, there aro no Post Offices. Should it pot be found expedient at any of these latter offices to open Post Offices, the Department could secure their use to the publi by such ar- rangements with the railroads s prevail in Europe. In Great Britain, sccording to Mr. Scudamore’s report, there are 1,807 rail- way _ stations open to the public for telegraphic business, and 3,201 postal tele- h stations; but the railway offices tranemit Snly 7er cent of the messages. While, there- fore, theea " offices_must be counted among the telographic facilities, their receipts and their coBt alen wall alyays be Tt has been broadly, but I think properly, stated that the transmission of letters, telegrams, or other cor- respondence, should not be considered in_itself as 2 proper source of revenue. The fax on cor- respondence ought to represent merely the act- nal cost, snd the mail and telegraph should be used 28 freelyas possible to stimulate other soturces of revenue. Should the postal tolegraph Dbe adopted, the Government will probably start with a business of 15,000,000 meseages. After. the thorough renoyation of the lines, I beliove the tarif can be advantageously reduced to an average af 80 cents thronghout the United States. As_s mivimum, such a tariff would bo too high. I should, therefore, ba in favor of adopting a simple’ gradusted iariff, Dbased upon well-known geographical divisions. To lay out such atarif in accordance with the established course of business would bo part of the labors of the Commission for whose appoint- mentTesk. If afforded tho necessary oppor- tapities by the companies, they could perform this worl, and, ot the same time, learn what new facilitios, if any, were likely to bo necessary. The experience of Switzerland and some other countries shows _that a reduction of 50.per cent in tariffs was followed Ly an increaso of 100 per cent in business. In Great_Britain, except for Porterage, there wasno_reduction of rates for more than half of ihebusiness, a reduction of 833 per_cent on three-fenths of the messages, and on the remainder & reduction of 50 per cent. Under these circumstances tho messages nesrly Qoubled in two years. - Tn the communication from the Prosidont of tho Montreal Telegraph Company, addressed to Hos. Alexander Campbell, Postmaster Genoral of the Dominion of Canads, under date of 2Sth October, 1873, before referred to, itis stated that, “helieving that this syskem‘(ldm‘gmntm and distance rates) was erroneous, I, with tho concurrenca of the Direckors, commencod a£rod- ual end very cautious reduction in the rates; and 1 found that every reduction bronght an increase of buginess much more tlon the reduction snd incrensed expenees which it entailed came to. Encouraged by this result, I continued tho gys- | tem of reduction from year to year, till an ex- amipation of the business of the ycar 1869 shoWed me that pearly 90 per conb of our total receipts was obigined from tho 25-cent portion of the fariff. This and the dis- couragement of any proposed o[éc‘omtlun line induced me to adopt o uniform charge of 25 cents for each ten words, snd 1 cent for each subsequent word, irrespective of place or di3- tance.” Theresult of this reduction, which ap- plied to oniy 10 per cent of the business, was an increase of 25 per cent in the total number of meesages in the first yoar of its application. From tho foregoing examplos, 1 have no doubt that one year of the tariff above propose after the provision of proper facilities, woult donble the number of messages in this_country. In that case, our business will be 30,000,000 messages, which, ot an average of 833 cents por metesge, will yield a gross revenue of §10,~ From this revenue will have to be provided 5 por cent on cost for_interest, (3594,000 ;) 5 per cont on cost for a sinking-fund to Tocover prin- cipal, (5594,000 ;) 20 per. cent on cost for main- touancs, supplies, &c., (32,876,000 ;) and 10 per cent of ‘gross Tevenud for cxtensions, (31,000, goai)”zam, $4,564,000, leavivg for salarics 5,436,000, “Tha ontiro cost of 2,700 stations in the United Kingdom, whero the Postmasters provide for the service, is only abous one-fourth as much as tho nggroghte cosb of the 60D offices where the de- artmont employs a eparate telegraphic Atail. Vhilo the plan of sllowing the Postinasters to provide the telegraphic servico has there worked satisfactorily, I am of tho opinion that it could not bo adopted hore with oqual 6uccess. Henco, I estimate for o saving in pal- uries ~only at those offices whore the Postmastor could personally perform the work. Theso offices, it i# safo to say, number fully 4,000, ot which an sverage extra_allowance of 4200 per sunum ould soeuro to tho Department askilled operator os Postmaster. TLis would involve an_expendituro of $500,000. Arrange- ments with the railronds for commissions on privato business transacled by them would pro- Vide for the working of about 1,000 oflices, a8 above stated, costing the Department perhsps £100,000. Iifteon hundred “offices, including branches, would then bo loft, now worked by 5,000 emploges of all grades, whose salarics would have {o bo borme entirely by the tele- graph. An increase of 50 per cent in this force would bo sufficicnt to_provide for the doubled Dbusiness, and the salaries of these 7,500 em- ployes, at an_average of $900, would consume the residiio of §4,500,000. Tho foregoing crtimetes cannob bo expected to be minutely accurate. Comparison with tho figures of th companies will show them to bo exceedingly liberal, especially in the item of gal- ories; and I believo the actual working of the system would give much better results for tho Department. Tho statistics of Europe can af- Tord no sdequato ides of what may be dobe in this country. A people who use the telegraph 50 lnrgely 58 wo do, under the great. difiicultics Dercinbefore ennmerated, will promptly respond to the utmost sdvntsges that can be offered them. With s much freer, more cxtended, and more active social and commorcial intorcourse thon prevails between the different States of ZTurops, with o population rapidly increasing &nd keenlyalive to all the demands of a progres- sive civilization, and with & territory offering by ils vast extent tho grentest inducements to the uso of the telegraph in preference to the mail, it may be safely predicted that telegraphy in America will hereafter solve problems snd ac- complish results that will far outstrip its won~ derful achievements in the past. In presenting the foregoing views and rocom- mendations, 1havo confined myself entirely to the wants of the peoplo in 5 stato of peace, and Davo songht only to provide suitable facilities for the development of our social, industrial, commercial, maritimo, sgricaltural, and educa- tional resources, and to bind fogether our extended populntion by tha intimate kmowi- cdgo which & chesp and estended mode of instantaneous intorcourse can slone give. There is another aspect of the subject, much more _ impreesivo. timo ~ of war—and God will not slways ward of that terrible calamity,—s postal tn\agné:h will become of supreme importance. The Govern- ment, when engaged in 2 stroggle which may ja- volve its very existence or the honor and liber- fies of the American pecple, cannot and will not permit the telegraph, unrivalled &3 & means of communication, to remain in the hands of any individual, company, or corporation. At such & time, public despatches must bo forwarded with the greatest celerity and absolute secrecy. Svworn officers of the Government will slone be trusted_to discharge duties involving the most tremendous conseqaences. Hence, nestly sll tho great nations of the carth have assumed the menagement and control of the telegrapls within their fespective borders, and the United States ‘must do likowise, Before closing this subject, I desiro briefly to oxpress my disapproval of tho schome proposed for tho incorporation of & company, improperly called “The Postal Telograph Company,” to operate_its lines in_connection with tho Post Oftico Dopartment. Itis not in znalogy with the_workings of the mail eervico in mny im- portant particnlar. In the latter, the Depart- mont transmits the mails under the charge of its own_ofiicers, nd controls sll the machinery nceded for that purpose. In the former, it is proposed to make tho Department o 'mero agent to recaivo and deliver telegraph messages for thio benefit and_profit of a private corpora- tion. The terms -of the proposed charter re- quire the Government to furnish stamps, stamped paper, and stationery ; to_receive the message from the transmitter, take the pay therefor, g0 that the proper stamp (s affixed, snd -band over the mes- sago to tho operator of tho compaay; and then, at the otfic of delivery, to see that it ia property writen out, envoloped, and delivored, Tho Government ia required fo provide snd squip suitable station houses for all the offices, operators, instruments, and , batteries of tho company. The Government is also required to keep all socounts arising out of the bueiness of telegraphing; make reports to the compsny at stated timeg, and pay over all the moneys chiargeable uyon the gross number of messages, after deducting 5 cents only on all despatches other than prees despatches, and 3 cents only on them, It thus appears that, while the company is only required to provide the lines, batteries, and operators, and the Governmont everything else, the company is {0 Teceive (shonid the aver- age recoipt per messege be no higher than 40 cents) about 87 per cent of the receipts, and the Government only 13 per cent. Doubtless o most excellent arrangement for the Company, but doubtless most_unprofitablo one for tie Government, Furthermoro, the supervisory power given tho Postmaster Genersl is & dolu- sion, because every order that Lo might make, howver importat or unimportant, would b8 subject to en appeal, upon the application of tho Company, to a_Board of Arbitrators, nd, on failure or refusal of the Company to perform any duty, the Postmaster Goneral, provided ke £hould be sustsined by tho srbitrators, wonld have no remedy other than to take posscssion of the lines of the Company, and “ contract with somo snitablo purty for tho performtaco™ of the ervice. The (fovernment, inasmuch a8 it would donl direcly "with the o ing an receiviog mesaages, would bo alons ‘Tooked- to " for- zedress i case of default; ond yet it would have no adequato power {o comppl the Company to_ex- ccnte its contract. This would lend to_endless confusion and irreconcilablo conflicts botween the Goyernment and the Company, and would certainly result in grest inconvenience and pecuniary disasier to the peopls ; and bofors the expiration of the ten yeors of the contract, the Government would find that it hod been fokter- ing o mammoth corporation, from whose em- brace there would be no cacape except by buying it off. Authority is ssked for the issus of & largo amount of stock for purposes of mere parties send- organization; yet it i mot claimed that the now ' Company, whon organized will control s single mile of wire mnow standing, nor is tho Company required with any specified time to enter upon. e pez{urh;:n- ance of its contract, Tomeet its engagements within s ressonable time tho Company will ba compelled to buy out or control somme,at Ieast, of the existing lines, without sy such presions agreement with them &5 the Government enjogs Tuader the act of 1806, and upon the bost temus obtainable. Should 'the charter pass and the new Company scquire the lines of the old orgau- izations thereander, the Government would, by permiitiog their purchas on s good-vill buis oge the advantages of its present position; and When the time came for the absolute sale of the new Company's lincs, Which is provided for in the proposed charter (s come it certainly would), the Government could not, without ap- parent injustice, go bebind tho transaction be- teen o ney company nd Jis prodacossors, to which copgent had been given by tho charter, and would be obliged to pay & much larger sum for the lines now in operstion than could be justly demanded under the act of 1866, "1 am decidedly of opinion that, if the public interest raquires o postal telegraph, it should be put entirely into_thio Lands of the Goversmeut, f, on the contrary, a postal telegraph is not so démanded, then the Government should not favor one private -company to the exclusion of snother, nor should it in anywite anter intocom- petition with private onterprise.
