LONDON. July L. Mark Twain will en-
deavor to-norrow 10 prove that the SdtHr

sador to Great Britain ia founded In truth.
M after luncheon al the House Of Commons
he will accompany llenniker Heaton
10 the Postmaster-Gsneral to urge the
establishment OF penny postage
the United States and Great Britain Speak
ing to the correspondent Of THE SUN to-
night. Mark said:
Il have gone into this subject thoroughly
with MIR. Heaton. and ] am convinced that
the present postal arrangements are absurd.
Why should parcels 81 printed matter
be carried Del ween he two countries for a
mere nothing and letters charged at the
rate OF a dollar a d pound? The whole burden
Of postal cost comes upon the senders OF
letters. and to my mind IL Ia nothing but
downright robbery tn extort II dollar u
pound for letters.
Elf the Post Office IL in the robbery busi-
ness let il he on a decent scale. and IL II IL
going to rob the public let IL do il for $40
instead Of 81. Magnitude in crime may
be forgiven. but petty larceny is always
abhorrent.
zone stock argument employed against
cheap postage il that a reduction Of rates
would decrease The revenues, but curiously
in postal affairs this has never been found
To he true. In fact every reduction IN rates
has increased the revenue.

to the old DAYS when it cost a. much "a
a quarter to send letters to New Orleans.
We had no stamps in those days. MY
father used to give me letters with money
to take them 10 the post Office. This con-
stituted my one source OF income. IA il

The money. The letters went just the same

this system did more to undermine the
moral fibre Of boys in Missouri than any

character has since been rehabilitsted
when England introduced stamps in
is4s my feelings were decidedly anti
English IA America too up the system
and my income disappeared. as my father
used to buy stamps and put them On the
letters and | had TO trudge to the post
office and mail them without recompense.
A. that time. when the proposition was
advanced to reduce the postage TO five
cents for short and 10 cents for long dis
tances. the same cry WAS made which IL
now raised, that reduction would ruin the
post Office.
But the cry was false Reduction in
