Cheap Postage

"Cheap Postage" by Joshua Leavitt advocates for significant postal reform in both Great Britain and the United States. The political pamphlet champions the idea that low and consistent postage fees would make communication more accessible for everyone. It draws attention to the positive things that have happened in Great Britain since they introduced cheaper rates, suggesting that the United States could also greatly improve its society by following this example. The pamphlet discusses how high postage rates in America have led to problems like illegal mail services, pointing out the need for big changes in the system to fix these issues and make communication better for all citizens.
