To the Editor of the Globe.
In reply to your verbal request to state
what kinds of money are taken at the post
Office, have to say that the laws of Con-
gress and the rulings of the postoffice de-
partment in conformity thereto, in relation
to legal tender are followed, and that copper
and nickel coins are taken in sums of TWEEN
ty-fve cents, subsidiary silver coins, includ-
ing half and quarter dollars, in sums of S.:
and that silver dollars, national bank notes
and United States treasury notes are taken
in any amount. ALI clipped Or mutilated
coins are rel ected, as we'll as all bank and
treasury notes which are too much worn to
permit their genuineness to be ascertained
The postof6ce registers -free-packages of
mutilated currency to the redemption bureau
at Washington, and returns the proceeds
free) to the sender. The same rules govern
exactly in making payments.
All the money received by the postoffice
at st. Paul is paid out here, upon the orders
to and drafts upon the postmaster by the
postofice department none of it is depos1-
ted in the treasury. The identical money
received from the people for stamps and
money orders is paid out to them for ex-
penses OF the office, and tor money Orlers
paid to the public.
1t is difficult to see how these minor coins
and ragged currency could be received and
not paid out. If they were taken from the
public nd hbitum they would have to be
paid out as literally as received. In that
case money orders for large amounts would
be paid in coppers and nickel coins, leading
to great confusions, and putting it in the
power of the postmaster to discriminate
against those who present money orders or
department. drafts for payment, as to what
kind of money should be paid to them. The
rule then is to receive nothing but good cur
rent money in lawful amounts, and pay it
out just as received.
All attempts of citizens or strangers to
simply get rid of the ''swe epings'' of their
money drawers by passing on the postofGces
such of it as is not current at the banks, is
resisted. 1t is illegal and manifestly against
public policy. D. DAY.
