Reduction of Postage.-The Post
Master General has reported strongly a.
gainst the reduction of Postage. He
states that the gross amount of postage
on newspapers and pamphlets in 1880,
was $l96,G06 a., and in 1881, 1928
4S5 OF. One half of this amount goes to
Post Masters. He thinks that if they
should be deprived of this perquisite,
they would petition for further eempen-
sation-and that the diminished revenue
in the department would not Justify any
further improvements in mail facilities.
He is of opinion that the Post Office Es-
adjustment ought always to depend up
on its own resources, without drawing
upon the general Treasury. Netwith-
standing this representation, the COM
mittee on Post Offices in the house have
reported a bill to reduce the postage on
pamphlets and legislative documents,
whether proceeding from Congress or
State Legislatures, to the rate of one cent
sheet for any distance not exceeding
100 miles, and IL cents for any greater
distance. 1t does not touch the subject
of newspapers or letters. Thus the mat.
ter stands at present.
