Among tho sonsible acts Of the last Congress |
was the passage Of a lau providing that sll |
printed matter sent by mail with tie exception
OF weekly newspapers circulating within the |
county whero they are publishcd) shall be pre-
paid. This law goes into effect the first OF tue
coming year. Though 1t las received soma nd |
verse critlcism from tho weaker newspapers,
which have felt thoy cannot hold their subscrib-
ers At ali Increased price and cannot afford to
prepay the postage without Increasing their
price, the wonder Is that such a 10" was not
passed before. The printed matter is much
ereater in bulk and weight than tho written
matter that passes through the mails, aud yet
The syssen, has heretofore been 80 lax that a
largo portion of it has paid no toll whatever to
tile Government. Almost any newspaper, cir
o1lar, or printed document has boon car
ried without question, aud the poBt-ofacea
have beeu forced to keep open accounts
with Thousands of customers against whose
refusal to pay there has been no remedy. Every
journal or periodical iasuad regularly has had tLo
privilege Of scndiug to any addreas whether tue
unfortunate recipient has ever subscribed or rot.
The man who refuseR 70 subscribe for papas4
sud takes it upon compulsion, II at Ill, naturally
| declines to pay tho postage; and 0no'o Sam has
generally hoeu compelled to carry such uews-
papors pix months or ayear for nothing before
| they can DO stopped. The mails haye likewise
| been hooleu with cirouiar advertisements, thus
t]eAd-boAl,ng their Nay throughout tho country
| to tho grpat oxpensa Of Taxpayers mud tho iu-
| hnite disgust Of all mankind. The postnaAsteEa
who haye failed to collect tue postage OIL printed
