PUB. 3, 1863. tf CONSISTENT POSTAL; : LAW. r In previous articles we liave referred to our postal laws, and the ibjusti they perpetrate on the people of these Territories. Ab the law stands at present the rcsldenta of these Territories are not the only ones who suffer from this inhetween justice :The law discriminates American and English arid otherliuro-"pea- n publishers and gives the latter every advantage over thoso of our own country. An Instance which illustrates'-' this has lately been brought to our notice. :;.. A package from England, weighing twenty-on- e ounces, and! registered, was received at the Salt Lake City Post Office, the postage on which, including eents.; the registration feewas forty-fou- r A1 package; from New York, weighing sixteen ounces, not registered, jwas also received at this Post Office, and the pbs-- 1 cents! .Tlloj tage on that co3t ninety-si- x English package weighed five ounces more than the New York package, and! cents less; liad the postage cost fifty-tw- o it not been registered it would have cost sixty cents less! If? tho package from, England had been a.registeredjpackage from New York, the postage would harp; been, ono doUar.andJ.slxteen'cepV;1'1 : i J;.,Llv eluding tho regis try fee!f This briof statement shows up the injustice of the present law Jri! the clearest possible manner arid auch instances as the abovo ar of constant occurrence. Whor that Is familiar with the law, as it stands at present, would sen drto Iew York, or id any eastern cityj for a bobk and pay the American- - postage, uwheri he could send to England land obtain it so riiuch cheaper and equally as" safe? J The payment of the registration fee of, oigh t con U insures its safety. In a country where protection, In opposition to free trade, is the popular; doctrine of the hour, it is surprisirig that such ait unjust Jaw as that whichjsays "allmail- able mat ter wh Ich m ay be conveyed by mall : westward beyond1 the ; western boundary of .Kansas, and eastward from the eastern boundary of California, shall be subject to "letter postage," should be allowed to stand on the Stat- uto"Book. It cuU off the eastern book arid publishing houses from all custom from tho people who reside west, and east of the points named, and Compels them, if they get books by mall, to send : v; i v t to England for them. r Another illustration1 might be given it the Injustice of this '.layy, which all will readily perceivo arid appreciate. If a citizen residing at Echo Gallon, about fifty miles distant from this Clty wish-cdt- o send abook to a friend in this city, he would ; naturally eriough expect . to! aend it here by the most direct "routel1 But he inquires at the posVofHce as to what postage he will havo topay and he finds! that,- if tirhe la no particular object to him; ho can tend hia booli to Englanil-an- d havo it forwaixiodlrlronx there to hla friend in thia city at a lcia coat for postago, than If ho were to cend it direct to him from hla own :poat of-- AN : i ? ; t-- ?i 1 - i t -- : . : : it il : -- it il pre-paid . 1 - 47 H Persons in this city wishing to sorid to the 'East for seeds! can,: have them brought at cheaper rates from thero,' by having them forwarded from Now York to San Francisco, and from San iFrancis-c- o to PorUandinvOregori and from the latter city, to thb tplco, than if they, were to havo; them : cent to them : direct from the Ea3t.
