The FRAMING PRIvuEGE
Andlng to the act passed the close OF the last
sesaOn OF the XLth Congress- TO restrain and regulate
the ranking privilege in which II is declared that 1t
shall not be lawful for any person entitled TO the frank
ing privilege exercise said privilege otherwise than by
his autograph signature upon the matter ranked, Gen.
Spinner says: 1t found that In tins, well
as IN many other Offices this would require and waste
whole OF the principal officer 10 execute II,
duties Of his Office 1t is hard 10 conceive how official
duty forced upon an officer by law like the signing OF a
certificate official letter that IL Is "Ghicai
business. can he tortured to be privilege Fac smiIe
Of my Official signature seems 10 answer very well on
81 0O greeDback note bnt under this law 1t is not good
10 a certificate that saves the aifxng Of threeoent
postage stamp TheR the abuses II there were any, are
cured for the autographs signatures ate necessarily
placed upon the envelopes Just the printed
formerly IN advance Of their nse High officers OF the
Government receiving large salaries are by this con
OF the law compelled TO waste their time IN the
pToitess and intellectual employment Of signing their
To three-cent postage certificates The Govern
cannot afford this The thing don't pay. IL Is be-
lieved that the the Government OF the useful
services Of officials is hundrcdfOd greater than that
OccasIOned 10y abuse that may have existed which
the laws seek 20 remedy
Treasurer conclusion IL Is certainly In no
spirit Of vain bOastng the fact ~ stated t0t IN the
eight years and that the Treasury OF the United
States has been IN my charge, during when uIne money
transactions had that fOot tho books OF the office
at exceeding 81 900 ian amount OF money
great that the ordinary human mlDd can scarce com
pFthcnd ID and Notwithstanding the TACT That vast
amounts Of money have been and are every DAY handled
by hundreds Of persons this Office yet not one cent
has Tins tIuc been lost TO the people OF the Uheu
States account OF the management OF the treasury or
account OF the employees IN this once tnis IL mere
luck then certainly have been the luolest OF men
have occurred, but thus Tar they nave
been small at they have always been maze eood 10
the Treasury by the responsible f0r then or b
voluntary contributions ~ the associates OF INC uniOru
nate Although feel have tho right 10 say that
have always done my whole duty 10 The utmost prbh Oh
my capacity for endnrauce that have WORKED uhceas'
ingly In and out OF season IN the puDo service
AID that have done official act thht ai hos
willing the whole world shOnd know yet IL s ccrtain
that without the aid OF ovcrruDg Provdcpce t1s,
has directed hs choice Of honest and cGBpernt perss
10 aid ~ the nrduos duties that devoved upon me- OF
without the Kindness at all times shown me uJ your pre-
decessOrs and yourself. such result would not nave
been possible feel that such good fortune eanhJt iasS
always. The bark If the most fortunate ana skIiui
Raj1uer may az last be- wrecked on some blduc rocA
the law OF chanee now strongly against me mere
futo now, more than ever feel anxious hesirS W
retire from the pes'iOns position that hold inc oIuk
