equal even the amount paid for tickets by the emigrants that have left the
country for the West; that it certainly does not equal the amount of ready
money taken direct out of the country by the emigrants in question, not
counting the sums that the young men and women, that have thus left the country,
have cost Sweden for their bringing-up and education.
In Table 134 is given a survey of the stated values of the insured letters,
etc., the amount of the money orders paid in (inclusive of C. O. D. business),
as well as of the paid newspaper-subscription, at the post-offices of the
Kingdom during the period 1871—1913. Here the increase is greatest
in respect to the amount of the postal money-orders, which during the
period 1871—75, amounted on an average to 2-6 million kronor per annum,
but which, in 1913, came to more than 386-5 million kronor. Each of
the other amounts has been about quadrupled during the years covered
by the Table. The Table shows that the entire amount for which the
Swedish Post Office was responsible in these respects, during 1913, came
to the very respectable sum of nearly 2 078 million kronor.
The income and expenditure of the Post Office during the period that
has elapsed from 1871 inclusive, is shown by Table 132. As may be seen,
the income shows a surplus, which, during the last few years, has been a
very considerable one. It must be remarked, however, that, for the period
up to and including 1910, there are included with the expenditure, all
the costs of the capital-increase. In most other countries, too, the Post
Office business usually yields a surplus, which, in the case of Great
Britain and Germany, is a very large one. Even the Postal Department
of the U. S. A., which has hitherto laboured under a chronic deficit, has
lately begun to yield a surplus.
The value of the -property of the Post Office at the close of 1913 was
estimated at 7 157 150 kronor, this sum being inclusive of the value of
