Mr. Mal. ok is able to show a surplus of $5,199. The post oflioe department is not sup- posed to be revenue producing, and the dedclts [nr the year has gen; rally been but little short of S-300.800. When the postmastzr-general re laced the domestic postal rates from _three to two cents and the imperial postage from tive to two, the predictions of the oppcsi- tion were that the taxpayers would he called upon to make up all the reductions, and that th we who indulged io letter writing would alone get the benefit. The postmaster-|zeneral held otherwise. and his views have been more than upheld. In 1896 when the present government took ofiice the dedcit was $781,152. This was reduced in 1898 to $47,602.. Then came the adoption of penny postage and co' se~ quently a reduction in the revenue. The revenue, however, grew annually,aud last year showed the highest nn recor-‘». Er- cluding the Yukon and Atlin, the to: al gross revenue was $50'?,-583 more than on ‘ the previous year. The expenditure of the year was S-l3.Gl0 more than for 1901. It should be remem- bered tlu-t the service was not any way impaired for the purpose of having a. sur- 'plu9. There was an increase of 124 in the I \_ number of post cftices and of 21_078,000 in ` the number of letters carried. The ln- crease on letters was 11 1 2 per cent. ` There were 848 contracts let bv tender _tor services previously in' operation, 'ind 12 for new services. The mileage traveled ' on s` age routes was increased daring the ,_ year by 129,170. The railway mileaae over wh ch mails were carried was 17,267. The I _ _postal note business and the money order ` ' transactions are increasing greatly, and “ the past ofiice savintzs bank shows an i. crease to the balance of depositors 0182.- l 363, 307 over last year. The number of letters cfrricd dur-irz lthe year was 213,628,000.
