In order to put the position quite clearly we enclose copies of three letters received by as during the last few days dealing with the subject (not enclosed).
It is unnecessary for us to enlarge on the question and we would merely point out that unless all foreign merchants agree to resist the demand, it will probably moan that those merchants who are prepared to concede the point will secure business at the expense of others, who for the sako (ab present) of a 2-ount stamp, are unwilling to give way on the subject.
