The New Postal Law.

The Boston Journal says The prln-
ciple of prepayment of newspaper post
age is correct. There is no reason that
prepayment of a letter should be de-
manded and that newspaper should
he paid at the office of delivery. We
admit this fully, though we believe
that the rate prescribed, two cents per
pound for dailes and three cents for
weekly newspapers. is too high. 1t is
tax upon publishers, and in the end
will lead to an increase in the cost of
newspapers to subscribers. 1t involves,
for an establishment like the Journal,
IL heavy tax, amounting to many thou
sand dollars. Newspapers when damp
from the press weigh more than when
dry, and the very wrappers which are
used to enclose the mailed copies is no
inconsiderable item of itself. The theo-
ry has always been that the circulation
of newspapers was beneficial to the
community at large, but the effect of
the new law is to give papers publish
ed in counties having Il large territory
Il great advantage over newspapers
published in small counties. I'm this
light it is tax which bears unequally,
for while the papers go free in the
counties where they are published the
number of miles of service differs very
largely. Supplements will hereafter he
more expensive to publish than ever
before, and it will he luxury which
will not be INDUCED i'll except by the
most prosperous newspapers and that
class of advertising sheets which print
only Il few thousand. We believe that
ut another session of Congress the rate
will he reduced to one cent per pound.
which is ample, and that all newspa
pers, daily and weekly, will be on the
same basis. Why Il larger rate should
he charged for weekly papers than for
dailies is not apparent.
