no other reduction save this above
named has been made in the period
Of nearly thirty years that has elaps-
ed since October /, 1883.
During most of this time the
first class mail has produced a reve-
u vastly in excess of the costs of
its service, as an instance of which
the for the latest fiscal year
ending June 80, 1871, has been oy-
er $162, 900 900 OF which amour ov-
er 2,000, 600 is estimated profit to
the department, thus indicating that
a considerably lower rate, which
would enormously stimulate the
growth Of this class of mail with a
resultant further increase of revenue
therefrom, would probably amply
compensate the government. particu-
larly bearing in mind that no reduc-
tion is contemplated in postage on
postal cards.
1t was never intended that the
department should make a profit
from any class of mail.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT EN-
ACTED by the Senate and House of
Representatives OF the United States
of America in Congress Assembled,
that upon all mail matter of the
first class postage shall he charged,

ONE CENT POSTAGE
PROPOSED IN BILL
SENATOR BURTON THINKS AT
TER THIRTY YEARS IT is TIME
TO LOWER THE RATE.

Washington, ID. C.-Legislation
looking towards Il one cent letter
postage rate has been proposed in
Congress by Senator Theodore Il.
Burton of Ohio, who offered a bill in
the Senate. and Representative John
w. Weeks of Massachusetts, who pre-
sented a similar one in the House.
Senator Burton, known through
out the United States for his advo-
cacy OF important river and harbor
legislation and Chairman of the
United States Senate Committee on
expenditures in the treasury depart
ment, has indicated that he will lead
the campaign in the senate for the
passage of the cen postage bill.
Representative John w. Weeks of
Massachusetts will look after the in
terest of the bill in the house.
July ! is the date set for the in
auguration of the new rate, provided
Congress introduces the bill at this
session. The bill itself is brief, but
its preamble indicates very clearly
the reasons for Il one cent letter
postage rate.
The bill Is as follows:
The rate of postage on a letter
of one-half ounce weight or fraction
thereof, ii carried from New York
City to Buffalo, a distance of less
than 500 miles was in 1S43 twenty
five cents and similar Rates, high as
compared with present rates pre-
vailed elsewhere"
BY successive and frequent re-
auctions this rate was reduced I'M
til by act of March 8. 1883, becoming
operative October 1. 1883, the rate
was two cents only for a letter
weighing one-half ounce or IL frac-
ton thereof. to be carried any dis
lance whatever within the limits of
