RATES OF POSTAGE on letters within the Dominion of Canada, (including the Provinces of Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Manitoba and British Columbia), and between Canada and Prince Edward’s Island.

---------------------------------------------------+---------+---------
|POSTED. |POSTED.
|PREPAID. |UNPAID.
---------------------------------------------------+---------+---------
On a letter weighing not more than ½ an oz. | 3 Cents.| 5 Cents.
On a letter weighing more than ½ an oz., but not | |
more than 1 oz. | 6 ” |10 ”
On a letter weighing more than 1 oz., but not more | |
than 1½ oz. | 9 ” |15 ”
On a letter weighing more than 1½ oz., but not | |
more than 2 oz. |12 ” |20 ”
On a letter weighing more than 2 oz., but not more | |
than 2½ oz. |15 ” |25 ”

and so on, 3 cents or 5 cents, (according as the letter is paid or
unpaid), being charged for every additional ½ oz., or fraction
of a ½ oz.

Letters addressed as above which are only partially prepaid, are to be rated as if _wholly_ unpaid, credit being given, however, for the amount prepaid thereon. Thus, if a letter weighing more than ½ an oz. but less than 1 oz. and liable to two rates (equal to 10 cents) is prepaid only 3 cents, it is subject to a further charge of 7 cents.

The charge on local or drop letters is one cent for each letter, which must be pre-paid by stamp.

The charge for the Registration of a letter is 2 cents to be pre-paid by stamp.

CANADA AND NEWFOUNDLAND.

Letters for Newfoundland are charged at the rate of six cents per half ounce, and must in all cases be _prepaid_.

The Registration fee to Newfoundland is the same as to places within the Dominion, viz.: 2 cents.
