AN UNFAVOURABLE SYMPTOM IN THE
PENNY POSTAGE.
(From the Morning Herald.)
Among the other proceedings in the House of Com-
mons on Friday night, there was one in which a good
deal more was contemplated than was intended to meet
the ear. The Chancellor of the Exchequer was asked by
Mr. Goulburn if the votes, bills, &c., printed by Par-
liament, were to be sent to members through the Post-
office, free. He answered that such an explanation
had been made by the printing committee ; but that,
having a horror of everything that bore the most dis-
tant resemblance to franking, he could not approve of
its adoption. Had he stopped here, the declaration
would have sounded very well; but he followed it up
by adding, that, although he could not agree to mem- '
hers receiving their papers through the Post-officefree,
he had no desire that they should pay postage upon
them. What he suggested was that the Post-office
Should charge the full rate upon all parliamentary pa-
pers transmitted through it; but, instead of making
the charge against the members personally, it should
make it against the house, and the house should pro-
vide for the payment of the whole. - What earthly
difference this can make either to the members or the
country it would puzzle a more ingenious calculator
than the Chancellor of the Exchequer to show; and
even as regards the appearance of the thing on the
score of franking, two peas cannot be more alike than
his plan and the original one of the printing commit-
tee. In both cases the members get their parliament-
ary papers by post for nothing—both the object and
the end are just the same; there being, in fact, no dif-
ference in either, except the Chancellor of the Exche-
quer introducing into his plan the clumsy juggle of the
executive paying a sum of money to the Post-office,
and taking it from the Post-office again. When peo-
ple take roundabout ways like these to do or say. a
simple thing, depend upon it they have some tortuous
purpose in view; and what is it in this instance ? Why,
palpably to contrive that the House of Commons should
pay a sum of money—and those who know how volu-
minous and weighty the papers printed by Parliament
are, must be aware that it will be no trifle, in order to
swell the Post-office receipts, and bolster up the new
system. This is an improved mode of " book-keeping
by double entry," which does not augur very favoUra'-
bly of the manner in which the system is working.
Such attempts at mystification would not be made if
the accounts wore a promising appearance.
