The Postal Department.
The report of the postmaster general
shows that at the end of June, last year,
there were 8,001 pnstofilces in the Do-
minion, that the routes over which tails
are carried aggregate 53,005 miles, and
the aggregate mileage of mails during
the year then added was 227,152,543..
While the progress of the whole coun-
try is of first importance, residents in
Ontario will not be displeased to learn
that this province does more than half
of the total postal business of the Domi-
nion. Of 97,075,000 letters 53,000,000,
or 54 per cent, were posted in Ontario.
Of 25,890,000 transient newspapers,
book packets, etc., 1,5,700,000, or 60 per
cent, were posted in Ontario. And so
with registered letters and other classes
of mail matter; Ontario furnished more
than all the rest of the Dominion putto•
gether.
The revenue of the department for
the fiscal year was $3,374,887,66 : The
expenditure was $4,020,739,94. The
excess of expenditure over revenue was
5634,852,28, against $782,258 in the
preceding year.
The progress of the Dominion is well
illustrated by the postal revenue, which
in 1871 was $865,050 ; in 1881 it was$1,-
767,162, and in 1891 ib was $3,374,887.
Since the rate of interest on money
in the postoflxcesaving bank was reduced,
the dopositos have fallen off, At the end
of June, 1889, they amounted to $23,-
001,422 ; in 1890 to 821,990,653 ; in 18 -
91 to $21,738, 648.
'Nu bettor evidence of the prosperity
and progress of a country can be found
than iii the record of its postal business.
And the postal business of Canada is in-
creasing very rapidly.
