.Pos.ofass Reputation.


For years past. the Pos;ofiice Depart.
tnent has hean in the habit Of Issuing
stamps of various amounts, receiving of
those wno hcugbt them, the full amount
of their face in coin. Very recently tae
PoStoftlce Department has rcpniiated
these stamps telling the people that al
though they may have received value for.
them, they will not recognize them. if not
present. at particular day. Now it
SO happens that thousands of these stamps
are in circulation near the Offices, where
there is 10 use for them, and yet they are
under regulation lost to the holder who
has paid his moneys worth for them.
Every hour in the day We are getting re-
lnittances for subscriptions in postoffice
stamps, from men who have paid full val
ue for them. This is little short of swim
ding. The Government has issued these
stamps; it has been paid them, and that
Government ought to redeem them at all
hazards. The thing is in nut shell. If
the Government wishes to recall these
stamps issued by it. all it has to do is to
substitute new stamps for them, but the
idea of repadiati'.g them altogether is
preposterous st Louis Republican,.
