NEWSPAPER POSTAGE.

BY an act OF Congress approved June 20,
1874, 1t is required that on and after the lst
of January, 1875, postage on newspapers
and periodical publications mailed from a
known office of publication or news agency,
and addressed to regular subscribers or news
agents, shall be charged at the rate of two
cents per pound, if issued weekly or oitener !;
and at three cents per pound if issued less
frequently than once week. The act pro-
vides that matter shall be weighed in bulk
and prepaid with adhesive stamps to be spe-
cially devised for the purpose. The man.
ner of applying stamps is left discretionary
with the Department, and u 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 DO ready at the time ap-
pointed for their use. 1t is expected that the
revenues of the Department from postage
on printed matter will be increased by the
enforcement of this act, Notwithstanding
that rates are cheaper than before. as now
postage will be prepaid, while heretofore
much loss has been occasioned to the Depart
ment on account of the non collection Of
postage at the point Of delivery.
THE MoNsY-oRDER SYSTEM.
The money-order business Of this Depart
ment appears to be rapidly growing in pub.
lie favor, and is undoubtedly very greatac
commodation to large number of persons
who are not within reach Of banking facii-
ties or who are unaccustomed to the Use of
them. Yet see no reason why this branch
of service should not be made selfsustain-
ing. The apparent profits OF the money
order system during the last year are about
100000, while certain expenses to the
amount of $4,000 for clerk hire and sta.
tionery in the Post-Office Department.,
Auditors Office, and for money .order clerks
in the post.ofice, are not charged to the
money.order business, but are paid out of
appropriations; or that, while the money
order system appears to yield revenue of
S105, 900, there is, in fact, deficit of SIC, 900.
suggest, therefore, that the fees of money
orders be increased in accordance with the
views of the superintendent submitted here
with, or that the moncy-order system shall,
like any other business, be made to defray
all its Wn eyDensps

interests. 1t would be open to the public,
while railroads cannot be. Private indiyi-
duals would run the boats on the canal Oh
thsir own account, while such persons could
not run the cars on the railroad. Their
competition on the canal would be the best
protector Of the public, while upon the rail.
road there could be no such competition.
The canal Is the highway for the people-rail-
roads those Of monopolists.
There should not be moments doubt as
to the character Of the canal as a protector
Of the public against monopolies.
The Erie canal is frozen for so long De.
Rod Of the year that 1t falls to give that con-
tinuous defence 10 the public which Is
needed. The Central water.line would
afford that defence for near four months

LIST us remember that by making the wa.
terline through Virginia along the middle
line Of latitude-that most favorable to
health and yigor and continuous commerce
the Government would establish connected
water transportation between the Missis.

Vgation Of some fifteen thouand miles. I,

welfare 10 peace or Its power for defence In
timeof war. Nor can 1t 10 any other way do
SO much to promote the harmony and hap.
