The New York herald., 1869-05-03

that there is nothing in these contracts which
hinders the Post Office authorities from re-
ducing the rates of postage between the two
countries to at least half the present rate when
the existing convention terminates, as it does
at the end Of this year. Last summer Mr..
Randall, on the part of the United
States, announced that it would be
the aim of our government to reduce
the rate to six cents, or three pence sterling,
per half ounce-that is, one penny for the ocean
service and one penny each for the land SER
vice in the United States and Great Britain
respectively. There can be no doubt that the
present Postmaster General will follow the
policy of his predecessor, and it is no secret
that tender has already been made by the
agent of one of the popular, unsubsidized
lines OF steamers, to perform the ocean mail
service at the rate of one penny per ounce.
There can be no question that the interests Of
the public demand that the lowest rate Of
remuneration at which one well established
line of steamers offers to carry the mails should
be the measure for all. When the next postal
convention is made with Great Britain we trust
Mr.. Cresswell will insist on this point. Great
Britain, having agreed to pay one hundred
and five thousand pounds year, will natu-
rally try to establish rate which shall remu-
nerate her for this outlay, or, in fact, make
the service carry her heavy contracts. But
our government, having wisely declined to
hamper itself by the system of subsidies, will
be in position to consult public interests alone
which imperatively demand six cent rate.
All experience shows that reduction of the
rate Of postage increases the number of letters
in geometrical ratio, and our Post Office
Department is in a position to reap at once all
the advantages of this well known law. At
the outset the proposed reduction might cause
loss to the British Post Office, though ult-
mately it would be as profitable as to ours.
But there can be no good reason why our
people should meanwhile be taxed to support
the monopoly the British system of subsidies
tends to produce.
