the folly and injustice of giving the privl-

than the Government will charge US for
simple transportation and delivery at a

tnat the Government rate is too high
while the injustice Of charging on our

papers Of three or fosr times its size and
weight, is so patent, that now the
attention of Congress has been called to

remedy, and one that would do away

which was suggested 20 US long ago by
the present efficient postmaster {! this

charge publishers postage at low rate

the office Of delivery. The price of post
age would then be liked by a pair Of

certain, and the Government would avoid

carelessness Of postmaslers in making
