By an act OF Congress approved June 90,
1874, it is required that on and after the LIST
OF January, 1875, postage on newspapers and
periodical publications mailed from known
Office Of publication or news agency, and J.
dressed to regular subscribers or news agents,
shall be charged at the rate of two cents per
pound, if issued weekly or oftener; and at
three cents per pound if issued less frequent
ly than once week. The act provides that
matter shall be weighed in bulk and prepaid
with adhesive stamps, to be specially devised
for the purpose.
The matter Of applying stamps is left dis
cretionary with the department, and system
which. it is hoped, will work satisfactorily, has
been devised for carrying the law into effect.
The stamps are now in course Of preparation
and will be ready at the time appointed for
their use 1t is expected that the revenues of
the department from postage on printed mat
ter will be increased by the enforcement of
this act, notwithstanding the rates are cheaper
than before, as now postage will be prepaid,
while heretofore much loss has been occa-
stoned to the department on account of the
on-co!lection of postage at the point of de-
livery. This will cheaper the rates OF subscrip-
ton to the subscribers of the papers
