Free Men Demand End to Government Mail Monopoly in New York
An 1860s editorial argues the Post Office monopoly harms commerce and freedom, urging repeal of penalties forcing private letter carriage. It condemns government control, cites private couriers’ faster service, and notes debates on civil rights, taxation, and city politics amid broader calls for reform. It also comments on Jewish and other minority civic participation and laments municipal corruption.
