Sr. LOUIS, Dscember 24-Postmaster /
FIley, 3l tlls city, has addressed Post /
master-GenGrsl Jewell, suggesting a
change IN the present postal lsu rsiat-
ing 10 pUbiishers's matter, 20 the effect
that newspapers and periodicals be made
uniform In Classification and rate, and
placed IA the second class. He says that
pr, spec uses, posters, sample copies, ETC.,
now rae1 as third-elass, at one cent per
ounce OF 8 fraction thereof, yield but
little revenue in tbst classification, and
give great annoyance snd dissatisfaction
q pcs.masters and publishers; and asks
why discrimination should be made
between EegsDspers aud periodicals,
bills and receipts for subscriptions TO
regular subs r.bers and from news-deai-
els, which are now carried at two and
thr-e Genus per pound, and the same .
kind OF matter, tO-wit.: proepectuses,
pOst.r r, sample copies, and all matter ,
relating 10 solicitation and renewal OF ,
and Why they should not
all 0s classified aud rated SIS second
class matter. The judgment Of postal
eGp=rts, he says, is that the results OF Z
'his change, from increased eubscribars .
and quantity OF mstt,r, would yield q :
revenue equal 70 tue present classtncs- !
