Editor Stor:-The advent OF the postal cards
has caused many persons to believe that if the
post Office can afford to send them for one cent,
they might as well reduce the postage on the
ordinary letter to the same sum-the difference
in weight being more than made I'D by the ex-
ira cost of the card itself.
Such persons, think, belong to the class that
ever want an ell when given an inch. The
postal card will never take the place of the or
binary letter to any extent, but will be mostly
used where none were sent before or thought
or; trlfi'ng messages, where no privacy is re-
quired, on innumerable subjects, upon which
one would be ashamed to waste the time by
writing formal letter, or to give 1t that much
importance. Economy will likewise have but
little to do with it, as they will be used to great
extent as drop letters, where the postage on
ordinary ones would be but one or two cents.
The post offic has never been o paying de-
partment, nor does 1t care to be, presume: but
1t certainly ought to be a self-supporting one
grudge the trifiing postage we now pay. which
is the cheapest in the world, Great Britain
whose system we are supposed to copy from
charging one penny equal to two cents) fur let
tiers anywhere In the United Kingdom, whose
limits extend under 400 miles, while we charge
but half as much more for one of equal weight
and send it 5000 miles and more Should the
department., however, judge 1t for the best to
still further reduce its rates, might not the sum
OF one cent be charged on letters under Z or
those over that weight, and under I or. two
cents, with an additional cent for each addi-
uonal ounce. Few ordinary letters come up to
the present standard Of u ounce, thus most cor
respOndence could be carried on at an expense
OF one cent per letter, which would certainly be
cheap enough for one letter. Ex-CLERK
