The object of this rule is to: induce people to put enough stamps` on letter in the first place, because each -country in the union retains whatever amount it collects. The Government ,has instructed postmas- ters not to make the double` charge In future on letters from South Africa, but to collect only the amount of the `actual shortage. They do not feel_ justified in going farther without the. _ consent of Cape Colony, which, for pos- , }tal purposes, was a separate coun-` try.
