In the instance case of the Sub-Distributor of
Stamps, the pay not only ought to be, and must be, in the instance of every class, an
adequate recompense for the service, but actually
is, or the situation would not be accepted
and sought after, as we find it to be. But
in the most numerous class of Stamp-Officers, the tenth part
of a halfpenny as we have seen is the pay for each transaction: and
so much more numerous is greater is the number of transactions in
the instance of this lowest priced stamp than in
the instance of any or perhaps all other prices
put together, that if in the case of this class of Stamp Officers we suppose the value of
the money received in each transaction to amount
on an average to 4d, it will probably
the supposition will probably be found a high one.
This would bring the rate of profit in the case
of the Stamp Office business to an exact level
with the rate of profit in the Penny Post Office
business. But then in the Stamp business
the number of such transactions in a day in the
most frequented Stamp-shop or in average Stamp-shop is probably far
inferior to the number of transactions in the
same time in the most frequented Penny Post
Office, or in an average Penny Post-Office.
On the other hand again the number of
transactions that occur in the business of the
Penny Post Office as between the Postmaster
and the Letter Carriers six in a day in town
is a in this instance a species of burthen super-added
to that which is borne in the business of the Penny Post Office.
