Most Il our readers have heard OF the
Nickle- Plate road without knowing e1-

was built parallel with the Lake Shore

Free Delivery OF Newspapers.

A good deal of interest seems TO be TAX
en- in the recommendation Of the postotiiee
department that all newspapers be placed
on the free list and passed through the
mails without postage. While the pres
ent rates of this class of mail matter are
certainly moderate, and it would not be
difficult to find arguments, based on gen
eral principles, against the free transpor-
tation of merchandise Of any description
by government agencies, 1t must be ad
mitted that no service that the govern
ment could perform gratuitously would
bel.etit directly so many people as that re-
ferred TO. Many years ago the postofiice
department undertook the free delivery
of papers within the counties in which
they are published, and there is no visible
difference in principle between this un-
dertaking and the one now proposed,
which is IN fact mere extension Of an
existing practice. To the daily press this
question Of postage is not of great Impor-
tance, for the largest part of the circula-
ton of first class daily papers is distribut-
ed by the news companies, which, as a
rule, do that sort of thing with more
promptness and certainty, and as to the
portion delivered by mail, the postage is
always added to the ordinary subscription
rate The question being up, however,
and Congressman being in the mood for
reducing revenues, perhaps the readers
Of newspapers class that includes near
ly the whole population OF the country
may as well be relieved of so much OF the
:. tax on knowledge" as they pay to the
postofice department. If in this way any
deficiency happens to be caused, it will
have to be made up from the general rev.
enues 50 that in effect the change will
merely take out of one pocket the money
that has been put in another.
