CHEAPER POSTAGE RATES.

The London Express says the cam
paign for penny postage with France
is arousing considerable enthusiasm
in industrial and commercial circles
both at home and across the chan
mel. 1t is felt that the reduction
from five cents to two would give a
great stimulus not only to the cordial
relations existing between the two
countries, but also to commerce. The
Paris Gaulois, discussing the ques-
ton, says: '"rhe penny stamp be-

ship uniting us to our neighbors. 1t
