NEWSPAPER POSTAGE.

The following letter shows how the amend
ment struggled into the postal laws, by which
the rate on transient printed matter is doubled,
is likely to affect the people:
To the Rdit0r Of The Tribune

Nep York, March II, 1875.
Our correspondent is correctly informed
The domestic postage on a single number of
TIE TRIBUNE with, is supplement is now 4
cents-or twice as much as the rate to Europe
and on the ordinary eisht-page paper, with
out supplement, it is cents. The expiring
Congress secretly laid this additional and
wholly inexcusable tax upon the people at the
same time that they voted themselves the
privilege of sending matter through the mails
for nothing. The increase was not for the
purpose of revenue, because rate OF cents
on transient newspapers is so nearly prohibltory
that it must result in great falling of in the
quantity of that class of matter sent through
the mails. Such was probably the effect in
tended 1t is one of q series OF measures
adopted by the XLIIId Congress for the pur-
nose of hampering and annoying the indie
pendent press, and limiting its influence.
The sufferers from the tax, however, are not
the proprietors Of the metropolitan journals,
but the general public. Transient papers are

affect the revenues of the paper; it will only
reduce its second hand circulation, and de-
priye a great many poor or remote people Of

ished by the application Of surplus revenue
which for the current fiscal year will probably
not be ten millions, or third part Oh 'ho
ann required. Tho law cannot create some
thing out Of nothing. The outstanding pohdS
may DO decreased thirty millions. but unior-
tunately this will DO done Mt the expense OF
the spec,e reserve Of the Treasury. For that
reserve, It must not be forgotten, a most
heroic task Is prescribed In 1879, ana the tline
allotted for preparation cannot Win i'npun''y

We commend Secretary Bristow most heart
lily for not going out Of his way to help out
of their scrape those who have been specu-
lifting for lower price Of gold. Those gen.
tlemen wished the Secretary to designate fol-
REDEMPTION only bonds held in this country.
which would have made it necessary for him
to pass over nearly one hundred millions in
conpon bonds of tho issue Of 1852, and make
his call apply mainly to bonds dated two
wears later. Such proceeding on the part OF
the Secretary would have been departure
from the course adopted in all previous re-
demptions and would have subjected the Gov
eminent to just censure from many quarters.
What excuse could be given for max
ing distinction between two classes
of Government creditors, viz, citizens
and foreigners Or between two classes
of bonds, the 1893 and 1SG4s, the
latter of which has for a long time been
quoted at higher price in the market than
the formerf Or for q manifest compliance
with the wishes of a certain class Of sDecu-

will be difficult to keep all tho gold in the
country which the Treasury is to throw on
the market between now and August next.
We admit it. But if the Secretary does not
need it, or thinks he does not need it, for any
of the purposes mentioned in the act of Jan.
IA, 1875, it is no concern of his whether il
goes to Canada, Cuba, England, Germany,
France, or Japan. He is wise to keep clear
of everything which even suggests the idea
of partnership in Wall Street operations.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1875-03-12

unless by those who were willfully blind to
tho logic of events. Afterwards, when such
leaders rs Carpenter and Chandler were rcpu-
dated by their own party in Legislatures
where it had the power, it became still more
clear that throughout the whole body OF the
people tho purpose of publication was stir
ring, and that the people were in downright
earnest about it. 1t has lot been easy to beat
this into the heads of the leading statesmen
and managing men that the people were tired
of their indications and whtewashings, and
that rather than have such things go on
longer would call back the Democrats to
power. The managers could not believe that
| any such rash experiment would bc ventured
on. They supposed they had only to shake
the raw head and bloody bones, talk about
outrages, and point with pride to the record
of the past, and that the people would keep
on voting with and for them. 1t seems to be
dawning upon them somewhat late that per-
haps they have carried things too far, and
upon the whole it will be wise to turn over
new leaf in the management OF the party and
| the selection of candidates.
We believe that Senator Wright is measur-
ably correct IN his opinion that, notwithstand-
|
tions, there is no desire on the part OF the
people for final reputation of the Repub-
| lican party. 1t is rather q reputation OF
the party leaders and call for change
of leadership and of policy. The Demo-
cratic party offers little in the shape of
policy except with reference to Southern
affairs that can win popular support, and
where il has had the opportunities OF power
| it has too often disappointed those who
expected from it anything in the way OF
Improvement or reform. SO far as there is
any affection for party names and party
| records remaining, there is q strong prefer
ence in the public mind for the Republican
| party. It's work and record give it place in
the popular heart that no other organization
can occupy. All other things being equal, the
Republican party with wise leadership and
| honest administration could hold the country.
| Its mistake has been in trusting too much TO
| its past record and being too careless of the
present and future. The Democrats also make
the mistake whenever they get taste OF power
of taking it for granted that they have been
taken back into public confidence, and so with
wild recklessness they go on in such fashion as
to forfeit at once all they have gained.
The best sign of the situation however is in
the increasing numbers of those who stand off
from both parties and act independently and
conscientieusly. These are the men, though
they BIZ few and unoi ganized, who will COM
pei good behavior and good nominations of
both parties. They are balance of power
which can and will exercise a wholesome
and restraining influence upon politicians
and policies In the present condition of
parties this non-partisan body of indie
pendent thinkers can do moro than both the
parties combined to purify politics and give
the country good government. The scratched
ticket and the Independent voter are the coun-
try's hope after all.

4 CLEAN HANDED SECRETARY.

Secretary BristOw yesterday issued his call
for thirty million dollars in bonds of the issue
of 1862 to be paid off as the annual contribu-
ton to the Sinking Fund. This redemption of
bonds is in obedience to law, but in all other
respects it is exceedingly inexpedent and in
furious 1t is not justified by any surplus OF
revenue since the excess of receipts over ex-
penditures has been only $5,772,2 52 since the
3Oth of June last, and only $1,3T909 since Mr..
Richardson made his final purchase of bonds
in the panic of 1873. These thirty millions are
to be paid out of the coin balance in the
Treasury. of which they will take just about
one-half. Resumption Of specie payments is
promised in 1S79-three years, nine months and
twenty days from the date of this mornings
TRIBUNE. Is any one 80 credulous as to sup
pose that payments in coin on demand can be
supported for six months on upwards of two
thousand million dollars of paper money and
bank and savings bank deposits, with such a
pitful sum as eighty millions In gold and Sill
yer coin Still the law must be respected.
AS we said on Tuesday morning, the cir
cumstances of the case make it tho duty OF
Secretary Bristow to retain this coin in the
Treasury, which he can do under the author
ity granted him by the act Of Jan. IS, 1875,
to borrow money for the redemption OF
greenbacks and fractional currency provided
for in that law. The paying off Of the thirty
millions of bonds is not real reduction OF
the Public Debt. for that can only be dimin-

POLITICIANS LEARNING SOMETHING.

POLI1ICIANS LEAnNlNu OOMElHING.
In the letter of Senator Wright of Iowa
lately published, in which that gentleman de-
clines reelection and signifies his purpose to
retire from public life. he takes occasion to
urge upon his party the necessity Of raising
the standard of qualifications required for
candidates for public offices. He has observed
what is 70 apparent to thoughtful men not
concerned in active politics, but which many
politicians seem determined not to see or
acknowledge, that the people are in earnest
in demanding the selection of the best men
for office, and the withdrawal of the bad
leaders who have wrought so much mis-
chief to tho country and brought their
own party to defeat. Everywhere, he
says, the people are demanding that good men
shall come to the front and bad men take
back seats. To unite and strengthen the party
and make it again successful, he believes it is
only necessary to give the people such candi-
dates as the people have perfect confidence
in-men of ability and integrity, whose nomi-
nations will give the assurance OF purpose
on the part of the leaders to answer the de-
mand which comes up from all quarters. He
is quite certain that the people have no desire
to repudate the Republican party, and that
any such construction of the elections Of last
Fall is shortsighted and erroneous.
Much of this goes without saying. The ac-
ton of tho people in their primary capacity
in defeating many bad nominations fol Con-
gress. a. for instance, that Of Mr.. Butler in
Massachusetts,. could hardly be misunderstood
