CosT OF ABoL1sHING THE FRANK,sc
PRIvILEGE.-An estimate made by
prominent official here of the cost Of
abolishing the franking privilege on
the LIST of Dext month demonstrates tia
fact that between seven hundred tl,ou.
sand and one million dollars will be
expended i'll supplying Federal officials
witt, scales on, which to weigh their
mail matter, and for printing circnlaB
OF instruction, and engraving. print.
ing and forwarding postage stamps
etc, TO officers at different points. Ii
is calculated that at most the abuse Of
the franking. privilege involved al Il.
penditure, by the Government of not
exceeding three hundred thousand dol,
lars per year. aud that, after supplying
the wants of the various Federal de-
partments, and such individuals ii
may be entitled to postage stamps at
Government expense, it viii he found
that there will be no saving to the
Government by tho abolition of,the
privilege. On the other hand, there
will be a loss, especially during the
first year, of from four hundred thou
sand to seven hundred thousand dol.
lars. Great stress will be laid upon
the above facts at the next meeting of
Congress, when an effort to revive the
franking privilege will be made.
