thence 81,645,482 33--being at the rate of

a good deal of complaint in certain quarters about
postage being a "tax upon knowledge," but we
never knew before into whose pockets more than
two-thirds of this immense "tax upon knowledge"
—nearly six millions of dollars—found its way.
Neither could we conceive why the cheap postage
system had run the Department in debt. Our
reason taught us that low postage, like a low ta

of exorbitant rates, which like a high tariff, acted
as a prohibition; bat facts, the actual receipts

plained the mystery. Railroad monopolies have
eaten up the revenues of the Department, and
not satisfied with that, like the leach they cry
for more. Was this the bouquet to which the
people were invited when -they surrendered their
rights into the hands of these Companies? We
think not. We were told when these monopo- ,
lies first sought their franchise from our Legiala 3
tures that the construction of their roads all over
the Union would give us increased and cheap mail
facilities—that they would be the means of
spreading among the people light and knowledge
by cheapening the transportation of the mails,
and the general futilities they would afford for
commerce between the States. When those en
gaged in their construction passed among our far
mers, invoking their aid, ind haggling with them

Judge Caetestr.t further shows that while these
railroads have actually absorbed one-third of the
