The Postal United States of the World
The Post Office; It's Facts and Its
Possibilities" by r. r. Bowker, in the
American Monthly Review of Reviews
for March: For it is the practical and
peaceful post that mas realized. in one
respect the dream of a United States
OF the World. In October, 1874, a pos
tia conference at Rerne established an
international postal union, including
The united states of Europe, our own
country. and Egypt. with a central Of
nee at Berne, and with provision for a
thrce-yearly conference. In June, 1878.
the postal treaty Of Paris established
a new conventions, under the nam OF
the Universal Postal union, to which
almost every country in the world ex-
cept China has now given it's adhesion.
All these countries send representatives
TO the postal congress-a world parlfa-
ment, OF which the next session will be
held In April of this year at Rome.
Under this system an. international
rate of 5 cents for a letter, the euuiya-
lent Of ~ pence in England. 20 pfen-
nige In Germany, 25 centimes inFrances
Italy, etc. and 2 ent for a postal card
OIL penny in England, s pfenniga in
Germany, and 10 confines in France
has been established throughout the
world, and, in act a penny post. or
w cent rate for domestic letters, and
a Gone cent o. half penny rate for
domestic post cards. has also been es-
Etapilshed In most postal countries. A
not less remarkable generalization is
found in the adoption of green for the:
one cent or half penny stamp, red for
the two cent or penny stamp, and blue
