Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Message of the President of the United States, and Accompanying Documents, to the Two Houses of Congress, at the Commencement of the First Session of the Thirty-Eighth Congress In addition to the principles settled by the conference, the information with respect to different systems of administration, exchanged among the delegates, gave a new motive to postal improvement. Much valuable information touching foreign administrations, which was transmitted to this department in the reports of the United States delegate, will aid me in the future improvements in our domestic administration, which I hope to effect at an early period. The following rules, thirty-one in number, were agreed upon by the conference: Section 1. The articles which must or may be forwarded by the post from one country to another are divided into six classes: 1st, ordinary letters; 2d, registered letters, without declaration of value; 3d, registered letters, containing declared value; 4th, corrected proof-sheets, business papers, and other written documents not of the nature of letters; 5th, samples of merchandise (including grains and seeds) of limited weight and without mercantile value; 6th, printed matter of all kinds in sheets, (stitched or bound,) sheets of music, engravings, lithographs, photographs, drawings, maps, and plans. Sec. 2. Wherever it is possible, the prepayment of postage upon ordinary letters should be at the option of the sender; but, in case of such optional prepayment, unpaid letters must bear a moderate additional charge. Sec. 3. Letters insufficiently prepaid by the postal stamps of the despatching country must be rated as unpaid, deducting, however, the value of the stamps affixed. Sec. 4. Registered letters, whether with or without declaration of value, must in all cases be prepaid to destination. Sec. 5. All articles under bands, in order to take the benefit of a rate of postage less than that applicable to letters, must be prepaid. Sec. 6. International correspondence of all kinds, duly prepaid to destination, shall not be charged with any additional rate whatever on delivery. Sec. 7. The rates upon international correspondence shall be established according to the same scale of weight in all countries. Sec. 8. The metrical decimal system, being that which best satisfies the demands of the postal service, shall be adopted for international postal relations, to the exclusion of every other system. Sec. 9. The single rate upon international letters shall be applied to each standard weight of fifteen grammes, or fractional part of it. Sec. 10. The single rate upon corrected proof-sheets upon written documents not of the nature of letters, and upon samples of merchandise, (including seeds,) shall be applied to each standard weight of forty grammes, or fractional part thereof, to one address. Sec. 11. The standard weight for the single rate upon articles under band, embraced in the sixth class of the first resolution aforesaid, must be established by special convention between the contracting parties.
