It is the bill which was reported from the Committee on the Post Office and Post Roads. and which has passed the Senate with some amendments which I have incorporated. vesting in and giving authority to the PostmasterGeneral to contract for the carrying the mails by steamers. and to pay for carrying the mails to those ports selected. I would enact the same practical legislation that I would apply to Alaska or any of the Western States. If our people in their enterprise should emigrate to a distant Territory or State. and it was expensive to send letters there. I would have the mail sent. cost what it might. satisfied that in a short time the expenditure would be returned by the growth and development that would follow. Now. it is the same with foreign mails.
