ONE CENT LETTER POSTAGE
PROMISES TO BE LIVE ISSUE

date, despite the fact that the popu.
lation Of the country has increased
immensely, and there has been an as
tonishing increase in the amount of
letter communication between our
people.
THE most important reason why
citizens of the United States are en-
, titled to 1-cent postage is the fact
that although we are charged 2 cents
each for the carriage of letters, it ac-
tually costs only about a cent apiece
for the government to handle them.
This results in the accumulation of a
surplus of over So million dollars each
year on first-class sletter mail.
THE postoffice department was
never intended to be other than self
supporting. The government is en-
titled to sufficient compensation for
the actual cost involved in carrying
first-class postage, but any rate which
rolls up so enormous a surplus is
nothing less than tax upon the Users
of postage stamps throughout this
great country.
In 1S43, the rate of postage on a
letter weighing one-half ounce or a
fraction thereof, carried from the city
Of New York to Buffalo, a distance of
less than 500 miles, was 25 cents. On
October 1, 1888, the 2-cent rate be-
came operative on letters weighing
half an ounce or a fraction thereof.
This rate with slight changes. has ex-
sted for thirty years.
In the meantime, the correspon-
Ience of the country has increased
Enormously and transportation facili-
les have improved in proportion.
