The New Postage Rules.

g.
The new postal treaty with Great
Britain took effcctlon Tuesday, so
far as regards the transportation of
printed matter. -.a...........tf II.
We suppose the Postmaster Gen
eral did not notice how much more
liberal the English rule, as regards
book packages, is, than our own; it
will be found necessary to alter our
former. rates, SO as to secure to
Americans, in theii own country at
least, the same privileges which are
by the treaty guaranteed to English
men. .s....ts..., es,-,~-f
BY the treaty the rate OF postage
on printed matter Of all kinds, sent
from Great Britain, and to be de
Hvered free of charge to the person
addressedin the United States, is
six cents for every four ounces, and
it is stipulated in the treaty that the
package may be two feet in length,
and one foot in width and depth. =
Now, under our own postal laws
the weight Of book packages trans
mitted by mail within the United
States must not exceed five. pountls5
But a book parcel two feet long and
! one foot thick may,weigh over twenI
| ty pounds; and it is, plain that in
such case it would be transported
from London to Chicago for. an
Englishman, but would be refused
an American who desired to mail
it only from New York to Albany.
The case of the two well known
books will show how the law dis
| criininates' a against Americans, as it
stands! bEatham's 'Johnson's Eng
lish Dictio onary, published, by Long
man, s, III London, weighs about ten
pounds. " For two dollars and forty
tcents prepaid in london, it can be
sent, under the new treaty, from
London to Chicago, and delivered.
1 without further charge, to the per,
son addressed. W clusters Diction
tIary, published by Merriam at Spring
field, Weighs also nearly ten pounds,
it would not be taken at book rates
by our postoflice at all, At letter
rates the postage on it would cost

Of course such Inequality win be

on the principles Of liberty and jus
tice. To the principle, of nationali-
ties we oppose the principle Of the
humanities.. The trainers Of our,
government rightly thought this. was
possible and only possible, by re
serving certain individual rights
which were not delegated to the
general government. And chief
among them is liberty of conscience,
as manifested in the total divorce of
Church and State. Our government
is possible only Oh these conditions.
1t is on this ground that we are op-
posed to the interference theory Of
government, one of whose most OBJ
.noxious features is prohibition.
Prohibition is based on theologic-
al principle which cannot enter into
the idea of a State. 1t logically
leads to State Church. The limi-
,tation which restricts this theory to
legislation in regard to food. and
drink is entirely artificial and drbi-
trary. If government can prescribe
course OF conduct in this respect
it can direct the choice of a place
worship. Already there are indi-
cations that the multiplicity of sects
does not render State Church inn
possible. There is in this country
already an incipient theocracy.
These facts are nothing new. The
arguments which result from them
have been frequently, and clearly
stated. They are not the result Of
any local opposition to measures
whose motives are of the purest
kind, but are the conclusions Of the
studied reflection Of conscientious
statesmen. The election in Massa-
e:husetts WAS over week ago. In
the stronghold OF its friends prohi-
bition has been condemned. But
we understand there isla movement
in this city looking to the attainment
of the same end which has just been
defeated in New York and Massa
chusetts. The churches have been
advised ''not to depend upon the
politicians, but to enter, the lists
against them''-in other words, to
make q direct and unequivocal issue
between Church and State. Chris
tian men are to be urged to com
mence an agitation which shall re
suit in declaring the sale ofintoxica
ting beverages q crime A belief il
! this proposition is to bc declared al
essential part of the belief in thu
/ Gospel Of Christ, and those who re
Iject this are to receive a religious
and 81 social anathema. The issue
fairly put, will be: Shall this gov
