The National Board Of Trade want to cheaper
letter postage by making cheap newspapers
Gearef. Their idea Is to save one cent to the man
who writes letter by taxing him an extra cent
on every newspaper he buys. AS the average
man buys good many newspapers for every let
ter he writes. the economy of this performance
would resemble what unsuccessful companies
used to call their Irish divIdends"-that Is.
their assessments on the stockholders to pay
losses. The changes would, Of course, press
heaviest on the ore-cent newspapers, since they
would be compelled to raise their price to two
cents, and on the very cheap magazines for a
similar reason. The Tribune isn't worrying much
about 1t. II other people can stand II We can.
But We fancy that before the Board Of Trade get
through they will find that tho average man
buys more cheap newspapers than he writes
letters.

the vote upon the proposition of the younger

these measures should be appOrtoned among half
