Perhaps the most interesting passage in
Mr.. Jewell's report, Is that III winch he
recommends the repeal Of the Blngs Ham
lin postage bill He says
recommend that the postage On transient
newspapers and periodicals, books, printed
matter of all sorts. autographs and map
sheet muse, photographs, and manuscript
designed for publication, shall be reduced to
one cent for each two ounces or fraction
thereof, which was the rate before the en-
actment Of the law advancing it during the
closing hours Of the last Congress
This is not very good English but Is
very good sense, ani the Recommendation
will be likely to be adopted. Other poa-
tons Of the report are as follows:
