The increase of weight and quantity of mail is general throughout the country. As was stated a few days ago by the gentleman from Pennsylvania. inhis own town. within a few years. they have had to have an increase of three or four clerks in the postoffice there. That fully illustrates what is true throughout the Eastern States as well as the Western States. that. too. in a State whose increase of population is not traceable so much to immigration as to home production. Now. sir. with us in the West the reverse is true. We are increasing very rapidly in population from immigration. and this gives rise. of course. to a demand upon the Department for this service. and the Department is in no situation and has been in no situation to satisfy the demands upon it for this increase. Take the States of Nebraska. Colorado.
