Ths New ResGal Law.-Its Ruinous Ell

From the Surtnrfeld Hlls, ReOister1


One of the latest acts Of the s.salary
stealing" Congress was to pass a post
age law which, on the LIST day of July
next, repeats all laws allowing free
mali matter, This includes exchanges
between country newspapers, and i'm
pOes postage on papers circulated in
counties where they are published. In
other words, this new law requires
postage on all newspapers mailed to
subscribers and exchanges everywhere.
A meaner, more contemplate pre-.
tense Of economy was never perpetra-
ted. While 1t was being concoctcd
the federal Legislators had their hands

In reepcct to country exchanges from
men who earn with difficulty bare
subsistence by arduous persistent
toll. It will, in many instances, crush
out the country newspaper, whose
patronage is limited, and furnishes at
the best but sorry recOmpense for
brain and manual labor. An exchange
referring to this ill-advised parsimony,
intimates that this movement repeal
ing free mail matter has its foundation
in . great degree, in the interest Of the
mammoth metropolitan weeklies. 1t
has the look of being an invention for
the purpose of restricting the circula-
ton of country newspapers to the
town or city In which they are pub
lished. In size and bulk the mammoth
issues double, treble, and quadruple
the country papers but In the materi-
al that builds up community, in the
Information that involves the interests
of particular localities and the ada
cent country, the country press is infin-
itely more valuable.
We call upon the country newspa-
pers to denounce this improvident
measure. It will bring little revenue
to tho Government, but it will certain
~ result in disaster to most worthy
portion of an excessively worked and
inadequately remunerated profession.
In the hope that something may be
done to modify this postal repeal
(Which, in fact, is taking q step back
ward In the march toward cheap post
age), we invoke the attention of our
brethren of the country press. Let
there be unanimous protest against
it, and let copy of each newspaper
(marked) be sent to the Postmaster
General, that it may be noticed official
ly and an influence exerted to res
tore the free mail system to newspaper
subscribers and exchanges.
