RURAL MAIL BOXES.
(To fhe Editor.) Sir,—The powers that be aye going to cut off the country delivery of mails at the end of this year unless payment is forthcoming What a quantity of tin boxes will be out of use then? Owners would be well advised to put ttem safely by or the school children might think they are “Aunt Sallies.” Stamps have got dearer, telegrams and telephones ditto. The higher the price the less the demand. A Tory Government can never see this point. We have highly paid commissioners ruling side by side with autocrats running tils grand civil service. Aye, the P. and T Department was second to none, but now, like the Railway Department, one finds it a seething mass of discontent. Stick to your tin boxes, my mail-less friends. Minority rule cannot always last. Only because a few Labor Extremists choose to butt their heads against a stone wall things would uot be as they are. —I am, etc., OBSERVER. New Plymouth, December 7.
