CHEAPER POSTAGE.
Nothing is more certain than Hi
cheap postage stimulates corrcipo

form in the administration of Kngli
postoffico nffairs in 1840 , rovolatio
izod the postal business of tlio civ
izcd world. In our own count
every stop to cheap postage rates h
been followed by an increase of bu
ness , which has more than triaintnin
the average of the previous income
the department. In 1700 it costs 3
cents to carry a letter from Bavitnni
to Now York , For nearly two go
orations n twelfth of that sum lisa si
ficed to pay for such service , "Wi
the cheaper rates of postage has con
a marvelous increase of businee
Then 800,000 letters wore cariicd

of the previous year. From this stati

$10,620,400 00 ; expenditures , 8 , 041
70.70 , leaving n surplus of rccoipl

rhiF , the auditor says , is a remarkabl
mowing , as it is the first quarter sine
the close of the war in 18G5 that th
revenues , of the department have cs
: codcd the expenditures. For th
jorresponding quarter of. 1880 ther
wras a deficiency of § 058,015,04. Th
revenues for this quarter are czcecdc
by those of 1881 by the sum of $1 ,
149,020.01. The increase of expend ;
turoa during the last quarter was 8113 ,
L8G.81 , whence it appears that the re
: oipta have increased in n much great
ur ratio than the expenditures. Th
iinount expended for star route ser
nee during the last quarter of 188
was § 1,45:1,810.)8 , a reduction o

it is a question whether the time hai

vould give n now impulse tp the al
