The absence of a fractional currency
that can be sent through the mails is a
great inconvenience from which the pub
lic suffers, as well as newspapers, trades
men and others who have to transact a
small business with people at a distance.
The money-order system supplies the on
ly relief, but that is expensive and troub
lesome. The government should charge
no more for a money-order than is abso
lutely necessary to pay the expense of
the system, and there Is no reason why a
man who wants a money order for §5, or
sl, should pay as largo a fee as the man
who wants one for §ls. There ought to
be a graduated scale, or a regular system
of percentage. Two per cent would be
enough on small sums, and one-half of one
per cent on large sums. For example a
money order for §1 or §2 ought to be pro
cured for a fee of 2 cents, and the sched
ule might run as follows : For §3 orders,3
cents, and so on up to §lO, where the \
per cent schedule might begin, giving an
order for §l2 for 0 cents, §ls for 8 cents,
§2O for 10 cents, and so on. Mr. Money,
of Mississippi, introduced a bill in the
last Congress, fixing the schedule of rates
as follows: Up to §5, 5 cents; §lO, 8
cents; §ls, 11 cents; §2O, 13 cents; §25,
15 cents; §3O, 17 cents; §35, 10; §4O, 21
cents; §45, 23 cents; §SO, 25 cents; §OO,
30 cents; §7O, 35 cents; §BO, 40 cents;
above §BO, to 45 cents. This reduces
the fees on sums below §SO considerably,
particularly in the case of sums below
§ls, for which the present fee is 10 cents,
no matter what the amount transmitted.
The Postmaster (Seneral is said to be
studying this question with a view to em
bodying a plan for presentation to Con
gress in his annual report, and it is to be
hoped that whatever recommendations
lie makes looking to cheaper rates will be
adopted.
That young woman of Richmond who
was so basely deceived by the villain who
obtained her by false pretenses knows
now as well as anyone can tell her that
she ought to have looked before she leap
ed. A woman ought to know a man
more than "several days" before she
is married to him; and she should know
something about him. To marry au ut
ter stranger on sight is to "buy a pig in
a poke" and, perhaps, get a hog. The
settlement of §30,000 on the prospective
bride, may have dispelled all doubt and
convinced her that she was about to be
stow herself on a solid man. Of course
there were honorable men in Richmond
any one of whom would have made her a
good and true husband. But the stran
ger with §30,000 (in his mind) to settle
on her, won the prize. These wealthy
strangers are the best people in the world
—to let alone.
As a means to prevent further emigra
tion the authorities in Germany have pro
hibited the posting of posters by emi
grant or steamship agents. This will
not accomplish the desired result while
so many from the father land are already
in this country. American citizens are
entitled to mail privileges with which
even the Gcrma'u Government dare not
interfere.
Superintendent Davis of the New Or
leans Mint reports to the Treasury De
partment that he will during the move
ment of the cotton and sugar-cane crops
put out from New Orleans eight or ten
millions of standard silver dollars. The
annual demand for the silver dollar is
thought to be about to recommence, to
be followed inevitably by a backward tiow
of the coin into the Treasury vaults, j
The Treasury Department has not pur
chased the full amount of silver bullion
required by law lor coining into sivcr
dollars for several weeks past. The
cause of this is that the high prices which
have been placed upon bullion by dealers
have rendered its purchase impossible.
The Philadelphia Press has relieved the
monotony of the "heated term" by a bold
exposure of some of the minor pecula
tions ol our State legistatlve officers.
The Press is doing a good work and de
serves the thanks and hearty support of
the people. "Let no guilty man escape."
The death of the Secretary of the U. S.
Senate will remove a great obstacle to
the completion of the organization of that
body. The Democrats will not probably
continue their factious opposition to the
election of officers when the Senate meets
in December.
