£ 1 , 056 , 460 1 11 In addition to these burdens , the proprietor of a newspaper is bound to give security to pay any damages that may be awarded against him in case of libel—a system which seems to infer that to publish a newspaper is of itself evidence of an intention to break the law . On the 20 th of June last the committee issued an address to the Parliamentary and Finapcial Reformers of the United Kingdom , calling on them to clear the way for the discussion of the People ' s Rights and the People ' s Grievances , by abolishing those taxes on knowledge which make even the discussion of grievances a chartered monopoly . At the same time they published a circular stating the nature and amount of thesp pbjectionable imposts . Of these tracts they printed and circulated
about ten thousand copies . A similar number has been distributed of a speech by Mr . Edward Edwards , Secretary to the Compositors' society , a document which nearly exhausts the subject , so far as it refers to the injurious effects of these taxes on all trades connected with printing . This statistical pamphlet has received the marked commendation of Mr . Hume , and has been copied entire in the London Daily News and the New York Herald . Five thousand copies have also been circulated of an admirable article in the Athenccum of the 11 th of August . Copies of all these tracts have been sent to almost every stamped newspaper in the United Kingdom , and class publication in London , as well as to some hundreds of persons in the country and some thousands in London , especially those connected with the trades affected .
The response to these appeals has been satisfactory , and is daily becoming more and more so , and it may reasonably be hoped that in a short time every town of importance in England will have its free knowledge society , prepared to agitate the question without ceasing , till it is carried . Two objections which require notice have been made to the proceedings of the Committee , the first is , that they have not laid down any scheme for the postage of newspapers ; the second , that they have not shown how the practice of piracy is to be restrained when the stamp is removed . The Committee have * been informed , on the authority of Colonel Maberly , that no documents exist by which the actual expense of the Postage of Newspapers can be ascertained ; they cannot , therefore , venture to estimate the exact sum at which Newspapers may be transmitted without loss ; but they have no doubt that every convenience , now afforded , will be continued to the public .
The unfairness of prohibiting Unstamped Newspapers is enhanced by the fact that both weekly and monthly publications exceeding half an ounce in weight are allowed to stamp a part of their impressions for free delivery , while every copy of a newspaper is reqtiired to be stamped . The definition of a newspaper is entirely at the option of the Government ; the law calls every paper a newspaper which is published oftener than once in twenty-six days and contains public news , intelligence , or occurrences , or remarks thereon , while the Government prohibits only regular reports of facts , permitting all mere remarks or expressions of opinion , and specially exempts from the operation of the law , papers devoted to obscene libels . This last charge the Committee are prepared to prove by documentary evidence . Should the removal of the Penny Stamp facilitate piracy , tlio remedy is to be sought , not by restricting the newspaper trade , but by enacting a summary process , by which tho benefit of the copyright act shall be secured in practice , as it already is in iheorv , to newspaper proprietors .
The Committee dismiss this objection , in full confidence that the Legislature and tho Government will willingly accede to tho demand made for protection to newspaper property , and they direct their efforts to the abolition of those restrictions , which by prohibiting knowledge to the poor , not only create an artificial hatred of literary property , but tend to endanger the security of property altogether . The Committee take this opportunity of acknowledging their obligations to F . Mo watt , Esq ., M . P ., f or Falmouth , who not only presented their first petition to the House of Commons , but placed a notice on the books for the ensuing seasion . That notice he has , in the handsomest manner , consented to withdraw at the request of the Committee . T . Milner Gibson , Esq . M . P ., for Manchester , has this day placed on the books of the House the following notice :- — "That ho will on an early day submit a resolution with tho view of taking the senso of the Hou&e on the propriety of abolishing all taxes which specially and directly impede the diffusion of knowledge . "
Promises of support have been received from Messrs . Bright ) Cobden , W . J . l-ox , Hume , C . Lushington , Scholefield , and G . 1 )) O | M |) SO !) , From the Stamped Press a larger amount of support has been met with than was expected . In this , the Daily Jvews has been foremost ; thu Athene / mm has boon already mentioned ; tho JAverixiol Mercury has shown tho secrets of the paper tradu ; and tlif ) J \* oti < : niiJ ' unnht , Weakly News , Weekly Disjtatv . h , Jlber * dean Banner , Birmingham Mercury , Bristol l&cainincr , Cheltenham Free 1 'rests , Coventry Herald , Standardof Freedom , Cham '
