Subsidy and Unfair Discrimination in Postal Rates
An analysis of proposed postal rate changes favors large users while disadvantaging small city or country merchants. The bill ties incentives to weight and direct advertising mail, arguing subsidies would lower costs for big houses but raise postage for smaller towns and rural merchants. The proposal seeks to subsidize large scale mailings at the expense of smaller commerce across regions.

It argues universal handling saves rail and sorting costs when mail is distributed locally, but current rules tax city merchants differently, favoring large-urban mailers and harming small towns. It warns Congress to resist a one cent rate and protect small communities and publishers relying on mail.
