How It Works Out,
•When: The Expositor was notified'
by the Postal Department ne the new
aostal regulations imposing Such eau
!Unreasonable and ethorlettent charge
on 'Canadian 'papers entering' the Un-
ited States, we at once sent a cir-
cular to each :subscriber a The. Ex-
aositor in the States notifying them
thaii on aceount at tits.' Inctease
ithe7nostal rate we wattle, be obliged
hereaftefeto charge them $1.50 per
year payable etrictly in advance. The.
following extract frem a letter re-
celeedfrom a native Of the comity' of
Huron- Who, with his family Moved
Ito /Calleas about 20 years ago, is al
'lair 'sernple of many that have come
to hand
- "In answer to your letter saying
!evil win have to raise/ the price of
your paper 'tct •subscr1ber4 in the Un-
ited States, .1 will say I ;think I
will have 'to discontinue my old friend
The expositor. 1 have taken it for
over thirty years and have come to
love it as an aid erlend and it is*
one of the connecting links between
'myself and family and thee old tome
and dear old Canada. I regret' very
imunie having to come to this dedision
tont the line must be drawn some-
where and old friends -must part
sooner or lite. So Good Bye bad
friend."
We expect that The Expositor will
lose about three hundred subscriber
eueh as the above on account of the
increase in 'price. Our experience
mill be the experience of every (*het'
paper in Canada to a greater or less
extent, Thus, the laslt connecting
lbek between many thousands of Can -
adieus Who. have settled in the. Un -
fled States and theirold home in Can -
da will be severed. , The DOMI,T11011'
Government are spending hundreds
of thousands, 'of dollars each' year
In trying to induce jut: sudh ;people
Ito ?return fo their ole /eve, leave the,
United States and settle in Canada.
No element Can be devised that will
!have: stronger or more potent in-
fluence in 'this direction t here. the
;weekly visit to the family of the lo-
cal paper from the old, home. It does
not cost the country II, cent- and Is
e--1 more .powerful 'than all the irnmigra-
en. Corr agents the Government employ
ane‘ -e. at great expense. And, stilInetrange
/ toesay, the Postal Ainhoritlea Cut it
„oft at one fell Fswoop. They are thus
tearing down with one hand what
they are laboring at such great ex-
pense Ito build up with the other.
'Serely the Government and the De-
• partment will see the folly of such
a proceeding- end will 'take immedi-
ate steps to right the .fetal raista,ke
thee :have made.
Besides this,- there is nothing more
important than that the two coun-
tries, growing up side byside, should
dwell together in amity, good fel-
lowship and -in good neighborship and
there is nothing that will tend more
to a cultivation of this desirable
npirit than a liberal exchange of
the wholesome and useful literature
of The two countries and especially
to keep a. warm place in the hearts
of old Canadians who have become
American Citizens for the home and
associations of their youth or of the
early homes of their proJenitors. In
any way it is viewed( the action .of the
Foatoefice Department is Short eight -
ed and can scarcely fail to work out
Injuriously both to Individuals and
to.the country.

gan 'to make great _inroads on; her
