I shall support the amendment offered by the gentleman from Minnesota. [Mr.DumtELL. ]for the reason that there is no branch of the service for which this House should make more liberal appropriations than for the mail service of the country. It is the great educator of the country. it furnishes the people with newspapers and letters. and supplies such facilities to the great tide of emigration in this country. I think it is a small matter for this great American Congress to sit here and calculate closely as to figures. when we are called upon to determine how much we will give for the purpose of extending these mail facilities throughout the country. The very argument made by the gentleman from Georgia should lead the House to adopt the amendment offered by the gentleman from Minnesota.
