Az hes been already seen the report
Of the POstmaster( ;eneral shows that
there b now . very considerable aur-
plus In che department, and that
henceforth the receipts are likely to

the necessary expenditures. Unless
some change Il made In the existing
laws the profits Of the postal service
will In . very few years swell the
revenues Of the government many
millions Of dollars. The time seems
suspicious therefore for some Ieduc-
tion In the rates Of postage. In what
shall that reduction consist: \ re-
view 0f the legislation which, has
been had upon this subject during
the last thirty years, discltsscs that
domestic letters constitute the only

ton Of rates. / ann convinced that
