IMPERIAL PENNY
[People’s Press, 27 December 1898]
IMPERIAL penny postage came into effect on Sunday, and the first letter the TRIBUNE got on Monday was one from a Canadian postoffice bearing the new two-cent stamp and the inscription “insufficiently paid- two cents due.” There is a widespread misapprehension with respect to the postal change. The reduction is to England and other parts of the British Empire only. So far as Canada is concerned, there is no change in the postage rate. It still takes three cents to carry a letter between local offices.
