The next Congress, meeting in December,
will be required to right some wrongs Of the
last Congress. Among the things that need
different Departments of the Government to
pay postage Oh their business transacted
through the mails. Nothing is made by this
foolish requirement, but much time and labor
is lost. 1t needs no argument to demonstrate
the truthiulness Of this assertion. 1t is SELF
evident to any rejecting mind. The extra
stamps that have to be furnished the depart
ments, the extra labor OF attaching them all
costs time and money to no purpose whatever.
The blow that enraged Congressman struck
ct the country press, endorsed by the great
journals of the cities, must be rghted. The
blow is aimed at the very life and liberties of
the people. Everything tending to diminish
the number and efficiency OF the country press.
is cacuIated to aid the city journals Of large
proportions, and must inevitably tell upon the
liberties of the people. The country press in
every little town and village throughout the
length and breadth OF our fair land are so
many sentinels set to watch til CELEBRITIES of the
identified with the great labor interest OF this
Lation, and hence must be sustained, or the
liberties OF the people must be surrendered.
Let the next session OF Congress do justice
to the country press, and restore The free circu-
lation thereof through the mails ia the county
where published. This is a right the people
have and right that we imagine Congress
will be quick to restore. 1t is fact patent to
the most C sual observer, that the carrying
county papers through the mails IN the county
where published, docs not add one penny to
the expense OF the service. The contract
price for each route in the county is not a
penny more, whether tho weekly county news
papers shall pass through the mails or not.
Why then this discrimination against the local
press 1t must be nghted. and the fullest
means accorded whereby the rights and intel
lgenco OF the people shall be maintained.
