In the early days of the United States,
postal charges were paid by the recipient and Charges varied with the distance
carried. In 1825, the United States Congress permitted local postmasters to give
letters to mail carriers for home delivery, but these carriers received no
government salary and their entire compensation depended on what they were paid
by the recipients of individual letters. In 1847 the United States Post Office Department adopted the idea of a postage stamp, which of course simplified the payment for postal service but caused grumbling by those who did not like to prepay. Besides, the stamp covered only delivery to the post office and did not include carrying it to a private address. In Philadelphia, for example, with a population of 150, 000, people still had to go to the post office go get their mail. The A. Deliver a higher volume of mail. B. Deliver mail more cheaply. C.
