TWO FINANCIAL QUESTIONS,

SIR: Have the following questions, to your
knowledge, been considered on discussed by the
people, the press, Congressl l. Is there any
other way to make god the basis OF value for paper
money than 10 make redecmab in gOldi . Is there
any better way than prOni,o I'd gold redemption 10 make
gold the basis Of value for paper money
viii publish these questions with your ansW er

IhieG " T.
II. There is no other way than TO make the legal
tender redcemaDle in gold, OF in that which has at
least par value in gold-as, for example, gold-bear-
ing bonds .. Gold redemption, with preceding
reduction by purchase, retirement, or boarding,
in the amount Of currency IN use, is incOmparably
the best way yet devised. Accumulation of gold is
valuable only as proof that the United States means
to redeem. Accumulation Of legal-tender s even
better, because it proves that the United States
already has redeemed.-Edl

Rates OF Taxation -
THE MAIL SERVICE.
SALARIES AT SMALL observation-disclosures
RAILRO ADs-LETrHR CARRIERS PAY.
Icy TELE.RAPH TIE rRIBuNE.l


WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.-Tho Posmaster-GeneTal
has completed his annual report and submitted it to
the President. After referring TO the operations Of
the department Tor the past two years, he makes
some important suggestions bearing upon
the future efficiency of the service He
recommends change in the system OF
the payment of fourth-class postmasters, who are
now compensated by a commission the sales of
stamps. Ii has been found that this system works
great injustice to the Government as pOstmastCrs in
the small towns are frequently engaged in the sale
of stamps to persons resident in cities, thus deIriv
ing the city Offices of thoir just revenues, and in
crcajng the sale Of stamps IN country Offices, whore
the commissions fre much greater. The plan pro-
posed 10 return 10 lie old system Of allowing COM
missions the value OF stamps cancelled, with
some notifications and amendment Of the system.
The report also recommends proper legislation, IN or
der to give the Government more authority over the
railroad companies in the transportation of the
mails. 1t has been discovered that some Of these
companies are very unreasonable in their demands,
and very accommodating III the matter of faciii-
ties Tor the conveyance OF the mails. 1t is deemed
necessary TO invest the Postmaster-Goneral with
the power to compel such companies to carry tih
mails at equitable rates.
The report further recommends an increase in the
compensation of etter-carrers. Their present rate
Of pay is considered by the department dispropor-
tionate to the amount of service rendered
The report makes mentign whatever OF the
subject of postal savings banks the Postmaster
General, without expressing any opinion as to The
merits OF such institutions in other countries, regards
orr postal system AZ not furnishing the Ihalciial
which il would be essential 10 have for such respOn-
sihle duties He does not think that the Govern,
ment could expect pOstmasterS III every village ana
crossroads to be bankers, AID unless they properly
understood the duties the Government would he
likely 10 lose great deal more than any prOht that
would be derived from the funds placed IN IT'S Gus.

your special dispatches and from other sources,
that one of the sensations of yesterdays session OF

The Congressional Record does not give a report OF
what actually is said in Congress- but of what mem

reports. however, ought not to be placed under the
