The introdu,tion of the Canad- ian pareet post 'was timed for the .ist of January next. The. very .first thing 'to be donle, however,' was to make new arirangements -with, the railway companies' for the tranaparjtiation work of the mew branch. of the [service, and this has proven thus far extremely dif .fieult, At present the railways re- ceive a little more than two mill- ion -dollars for the carriage of the .mails+. For some time they have been pressing for an increase. Now they eont.en'd• that botch the niaiis and the b'usin'ess of the parcel post they should receive no't less than six millions, Curiously emough, sart of 'their plea for this greatly enlarged aemuneeation is the doss to ;winch they (will be subject through the diminution of their ex- cress business. In Canada, the ex- _prese'conepauics are owned and con 'trolled by the big trail+way; cone - ' panes. And these companies think —.Perhaps very naturally—that if they are to suffer +severely by, the- -introduction of an innovation which will 'greatly reduce 'Heir express- business, they ought to some, ex- tent to be reimbursed by the gov- thei Unilted. States', where, through the multiplicity of Tail - :Ways, the alliance between the ex- press companies and the railway companies is not quite so close as is fCainada, there has been nto. :'thought of such compensation. The express companies have readjusted their methods, and offered special inducements in the hope of being able stilt to compete +successfully 'with the public service. In them- selves they were wealthy and pow- erful, and for a long time offered 'effective. resistance to the intro - •^duction of the parcel 'post. Pint- -ally they had to submit, and they are malting the beat of what to them must be a sadly altered sit - nation. In all probability the Canadian _parcel post wilt be in operation,in the letter part of this winter or in early spring. With the general out Clines of the system devised by the postin aalt+eil-general and his assist Wits, we have already been made familiar. From the point at which a parcel le mailed, the rates }will increase, not by a series of circular :zones' as in the United States, but by provineest. Theme will /he one. rate) for local delivery, another for delivery anywhere in the original province, another for delivery in a second' province, and so on from ocean to ocean. Although the regulations have not been officially promulgated, it haw been decided that the parcel post cannot be used for thertrans -portation oft' liquor. Therie are enough difficulties now in the en- forcem.ent of our liquor laws. If the parcel post •could be used for conveyanceof liquor, how 'easy it Would helcom,e to send'' ,flalstce 'from 'wet' into 'dry' territory! A new facility would be placed in:the hands of the wholesale liquor deal- ers in cities like Toronto to mar- ket their wares in' ' efrolifbitian, ,strongholds' like Collinlgwood and •,Owen Sound'. This possibility and 'the menanlee involved thereinWere Drought to the atttnttion of the 'postmaster -general by the National council of the Young Men'stClrist- lan association and o'ther'organiza- tions, whereupon he promptly de- termined upon the exclusion . of liquor from the mails. By temper- ance people throughout the coon- •try his action will be heartily ap- preciated. Of the many advantages of the parcel post system, we have often spoken, one, '(which becomes more important 'every day, is- the help it will give to the bringing togeth- er of the producer and the eonsnm er of agricultural products. Ere long we shall be using it to secure direct delivery from '.farmers of eggs, butter, fruits, etc. thus elim- inating the middleman, whose pro- fit is thought to have been fartoo 'lapge and to a;very apprRiciable extent reducing the cost Of living. A family in the city, for instance, could. +easily `make arrangeitents with a friends in the ".country fon the sending weekly, or oftener., of a hamper of provisions, accor'din'g to a prearr'ang'ed list in detail, et stipulated 'prices. Anything that brings the city home isnto closer touch with the rural homestead can rot but prove a :blessing. 1)yuanto Room 1{ulcs The following dist of rules' is framed and hangs in a conspieuous place in a power house in one of our western towns.
