scorcHMANs CRITICISM OF QUIZ POSTAL SYSTEM

From VIM CAa6erss Notes Of Tour ia the United States
In the matter Of cheap postage the States have had
the misfortune to be mitators Of England instead Of taxi
ing the initiative Moreover, with the full knowledge Of
the post office organization of the United Kingdom, and
possessing an overplus revenue, the Americans have
strangely failed to place their postal system footing
so perfect as it might be. The frankng privilege,
corded only to members of Congress, but Restricted
Ivy to an inferior class of postmasers is abuse which
surprises still tolerated More remarkable is it
to find that the ordinary rate of prepaid postage Of
three cents for single letter does not infer delivery
When the American post undertakes to convey letters
and newspapers the service extends only to their trans
mission from post Office to post Office. For their delivery
at the house of the parties to whom they addressed
there is additional charge Of two cents Is
an ordinary custom every where in the States to call for
letters newspapers at the post Office and BY an ar
rangement with the postmaster each person has box
into which his correspondence Is put.
In New York observed great crowds daily at the post
office seeking for letters. Let this monsrousy-incon-
venien practice be compared with the plan pursued In
London Of sending four five times dey host OF
carriers each with his bundle of letters and newspapers
for delivery at the doors Of the parties to whom they
addressed without any additional charge An American
gentleman, who had been time in London, menton-
ed to me that nothing surprised and delighted him 30
