To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The policy of allowing mail matter to be carried as freight, wherever it may be profitable to private carriers, creates rivals who are invited by their interests to contend with the Department for its revenues on all the most important lines of postal communication ; those which are most expensive to the Department, and most difficult to control. Such a policy would be both unwise and disastrous, and I cannot too strongly recommend the continuance of the policy of refusing to al- low nevv'spape...rs and periodicals to be carried over the post-roads as freight, and of requiring the payment of postage on them as on all other mail matter." To this end, and to prevent, in future, all pretext for the frauds so constiintly perpetrated by the Southern Express Company, I recom- mend the enactment of a law providing that it shall be unlawful, in future, for any express or other company, or person, or association, running regularly or periodically over post routes, to carry any mailable matter; and that such penalties, by both fine and imprison- ment, be prescribed as will effectually prevent its violation, or im- pose on those so offending adequate punishment.
