Some may say that if this man has been fortunate in his passenger and express business that is his good luck. and the Government ought to pay for its mail service anyhow. I combat that position here and now. I say again that thb mail service is merely incidental. and the business of the country should furnish the profits for these men. If you give them more than the incidental pay upon these established routes. where these large lines of emigration are going. it is a mere gratuity. and you might just as well give such gratuity to a railroad company or other common carriers. But I fancy I hear somebody asking whether I db not believe in subsidizing these routes in a now country I Yes. I do.
