MONEY ORDER BUSINESS

Remarkable Increase in It's Growth-To
What It Is Due.
WASHINGTON, July 19.-"Have you any idea
of the growth of the money order business?'
said the post official best posted on this subject
today.
"The increase in the volume of business last
year was from$S, 500,0 to$1O 900, 900 over that
OF any previous year. just think OF It'll Why,
its booming. The grand total for last year will
be about $112.0O0,0Oo, an unprecedented
amount
sis this great inorvase entirely in tho .son,es-
sic branch OF business, and, therefore, attribu-
table to the increased activity of trade?''
"Bless you, no. There is quite as remarka-
BILE an increase in the foreign branch of the
business. Our business with England and
Canada has especially grown. Our weekly
balances with England alone are el0,000.'
ITO what do you attribute.the increase in tho
foreign business of the money order o1fiee?o
"Well, it can be attributed generally to the
wonderful activity of the commercial world
The increase in our transfers and with Eng
land is due principally, perhaps, to the increas-
ed immigration in the West, and especially to
the increased Investments in Western mines.
That in transfers with Canada is caused by the
immigration of Canadians into the factory viii
lagos of New England. They are all anxious
to send home money to their relatives, and
adopt this as the simplest and least expensive
method. The Irish in this country are -Four
stand-bye, though. They were the FIRST pa
irons (patronesses, I should say, as the servant
girls quadruple all that the men do) of the
money order Offices. Almost every one OF them
has relative or a friend somewhere between
the Giants Causeway and the cove Of Corksto
whom money is to be sent almost monthly.
These same Irish money orders cause US more
trouble than any other class. There are SO
many people, especially in the south of Ire
land, bearing the same name that we are con-
stantly in hot water with the English post
ofnce authorities over mistaken identity Ireland
is such that, II money order comes addressed
TO an unknown person, some one with like
name is hunted up and made to serve as the
recipient. We had a curious case Of that sort
last winter, which cost the postmaster at New
London, CT, $1,000 His clerk misdirected a
money order. The obliging postmaster at
some unpronounceable place in Ireland hunted
somebody Of the Same name up to take the
money. OF course she was irresponsible, with
out property. They always are, and the post
master at New London had to make it good
Rnt, after all, he CONCLUDED. we owe the great
increase in our foreign business to John Sber-
mans resumption OF specie payments That
gave our currency determlnate value. A
greenback is equal to gold dollar. money
order drawn in Cincinnati or ST. Louis, or
London, does not have to be adjusted accord
ing to the value of gold in New York. If it
costs $50 in greenbacks in St. Louis, it il worth
700 in London or in Portland. This renders
them very convent. Buyers know what they
are buying, and they avail themselves often of
certain well understood method Of transfer
ring money"
