RuN 70 CHEAP PPAPsRs.-CHrAr Pos
TAGE The pos age bill now before the

num.rna, monthly and somi-mon'hIy
newspapers. and practically ex"cpts
them from the proposed reducti u OF
rates on journals issued weekly or OF
tencr. They are thus let TO be ranked
with "othcr newspapers, circulars,
handbil's, engraviugs &c" on which
there is IA charge Of oGe cent an ounce
for all distances within 300 miles two
cents within 1000 miles, DC. This
would cut of tie distant circulation of
nearly all the agricultural, scientific
ana reIig ons periodicals which are
mostly published less ltcaurat than
weekly, Surely this cannot be the in
tcnron Of Congress. II not, the bill
should be amended So as to make n
consistent provision that "parers pub
lishcd scmi-mon,h!y shall be charged
one half the rates ofweekly papers; and
