PosTAer REFoRM.-Rowland Hills important
movement in England, in bringing about cheap
postage, has proved great blessing to the people,
and the government revenue from the post Office.
in that country, has increased. Our government
seem to be very slow in entertaining proper views
Of this subject and every attempt to get reduction
of our heavy rates, seems attended with more diff
Guilty than getting Galphin claim allowed. Postal
reform is much needed. The facilities for travel
ling and transporting the mails have been much
improved and increased within few years. and it
is only a reasonable demand Of the people that
there should be considerable reduction in postage
rates. They are much too high. The experience
of the British post Office furnishes with all the
results that can be required to justify a reform.
The extent Of our country does not change the ma
ture Of the question in the least. Under reduced
postage tax, we should have larger revenue. Let
the reform be decided upon.
