The New Postal Treaty with Ger
many.


Great complaint is made by intelli-
gent German naturalized citizens OF the
terms Of the new postal treaty just con-
cluded with Germany by the Postmaster
General. A provision has been insert
ed in the treaty levying largely addi'
tional rate OF postage upon all Ameri-
can newspapers printed in the German
language. 1t has always been the
custom of Germans in the United States
to send to their friends at home papers
printed in their own language. By this
means the latter were best made ac-
ouainted with the resources OF this
country and the advantages offered
them to make it their home. The steady
exodus to this country OF so many OF
its hardy suhj.cts has been source OF
great alarm to the German Government,
and it will be remembered that some
time since attempts were made by that
Government to stop it. BY an excess
i've rate OF postage practical interdlct
can be put on the circulation OF news
papers which they are able to read, the
people OF Germany can be kept in igno-
rance at the great advantages held out
10 them TO emigrate to the Unite i
States. There is no doubt that such
was the object of the German Govern
meut in insisting on this provision ;
and our Postoffice authorities were too
blind to see it.

with it's experiment OF employing Amer
