Sn1NpLAsTERs.-T There might have
been necessity for issuing shupl s.,"rs, h'n
that issue was frs, made. lhe ne ces. ,y was
genuine. Silver change he'd pretty much leh
the market In consequence Of the hi gh plemi-
um aid for it in Now York. Upcle Sam had
seeded against dickering in poatag q stamps,
and the famous postal currency was not read,
for delivery hence the necessity cf is.uing
private shinplssters to help along ira De for the
time being, until relief should come
Blu, TIE necessity spoken of has in q .-reat
degree vanished 1t would ceaes to ex.,

don't pr oppose to keep up q steady fire about

duty by warninglths people against going too
far, and admonishing them that no such evil
can cont inue to be tolerated and bring along
no evil effects. The mstter may seem iusigul
