It appears that the price is governed l not by the postmaster, but by that | particular old individual, Uncle Sam Now, Uncle Sam figures it out that it is worth more to man to get his mail from an office that is selling l 5000 worth of stamps a year than from, one that is doing only half the business. Following out that line of reasoning, the wholesaler should get more for his goods than the retailer But Uncle Sam doesn't want to hear any arguments; he has given his orders and expects that they will be obeyed, and they will be. The peculiar thing about it is the fact that the only one who can be benefited by the change would rather things should remain as they are.
