THE TOTJ VELLE BILL.
A bill is pending before congress, known in the senate
"as the Nelson bill and in the house as the Tou Yelle bill,
which is calculated to practically reduce the postoffice
deficit, by stopping the sale of printed stamped envelopes
.at less than cost.
iFor years the government has entered into active cora-
-petition with every printer in the land by retailing these
envelopes already printed for less than manufacturers
ell the imprinted envelopes for wholesale a form of pa
ternalism, which if carried out in other lines, would de
moralize business.
The bill reads as follows:
-"J3c it enacted by the senate and house of represen
tatives of the United States of America in congress as
sembled, That from and after the approval of this act it
ahull be unlawful for the postoffice department, or any
officer, head of bureau, or chief of division thereof, to
.-print or have printed, or sell or offer to sell any stamped
-envelope bearing upon it a printed direction giving the
uune of any individual, firm, or company, or any number
of any postoffice box or drawer, or any street number
or the name of any building to which it shall be returned
if uncalled for or undelivered: Provided, That this shall
aaot apply to those envelopes printed with a return card
left blank as to name, address, box, drawer, street num
Jjer, or building, and which only give the name of the town
or city, with the state, district, or territory."
