TIT NEwsFAFEH POSTAL Law.
From the Albany q, ~ Jo7rnai
The new postal law relating TO
newspapers and magazines viii 70 In.
to effect next january. Congress has
acted wisely In restoring the free cir.
culation Of weekly papers through the
mails in the counties wherc publlshed.
This is a provision that imposes NO
tax upon the Government. Its opera
ton heretofore gave the fullest satis-
faction to all parties, and has generally
been esteemed just and proper re-
cosnition of the rights of SO valuable
q medium for the diffusion of general
intelligence rs the weekly newspaper.
This section Of the ne " law is there
fore especially worthy of approval. Js
The other provisions Of the bill,
however, arc not free from very seri-
ocs objections. The rate OF postage 10
fixed at 2 cents pound on daily and
weekly papers, and cents on papers
or magazines published monthly or
fortnightly. Not only is this 4 mate.
rial increase upon present rates, but TO
make the burden more onerous, pre-
Payments cxacted. This will compel
publishers to add to their subscription
rates to cover the postage or else TO
make some other arrangement with
their subscribers. Heretofore the
postage has been by the quarter, OF
year irrespective of the weight Of The
paper within certain limits. Under
this law the papers arc to be weighed
in the Post Office upon receipt from the
Office OF publication, and as such pa
pers are always more or less damp
they will weigh ia excess Of their Or
binary condition to tho prejudice 81
the subscriber. On single papers tho
rate is one cent . copy instead of five
cents quarterly as at present. This
imposes an additional tax Of Thirty.
two cents year upon : weekly paper
taken in q single wrapper. ard prepay
mont in these cases 10 also required.
The prees OF the country, both daily
and weekly, 10 able and strong enough
to pay its full share toward msetiua
the deficit in the Post OMos Dspart.
