Maybe, but the Pony Express did not carry junk mail.

Perspective.... the USPS stated about a year ago that 90% of all mail is 
Junk Mail.... Not First or Second class mail.  Third class.

Now if they raised the price of junk mail by 3 cents a piece, I wonder how 
that would fix the USPS problems in a few years?

In the days of the pony express, a half ounce  
letter cost $8 to make the trip at a slower pace. Correcting for  
inflation, the pony express postage would be $208 today.
