"RATHER THAN DISTURB THE BUSINESS. OF TIE

To the Editor Of The EVENING STAR.
In your paper of last evening appeared an arti-
Gle which does great injustice to the government
printing Office we'll as to myself. The writer Of
the article in question states that have been in
the habit OF lOaning money at ten per ceht, and
that the paymaster has deducted the sums when
due from the pay OF the borrowers; that those
who submitted without complaint become "SOlid'
with the office, &c. The above is malicious false
hood. do not even enjoy the acquaintance of the
authorities. Those who know the pay lSter will =,
OF course, rldcue the SANDER, for his reputation
one approach him with such proposal he would
not larry long.
The above charge, In substance, was made
short time ago by man who was removed for not
investigation OF the matter, the result OF which
was my complete generation. AS far as | am in
dlvidually concerned care nothing for assaults
from such source, but do not wish to see the
names OF others dragged into the newspapers on
my account. AS far as the monopoly" is con-
cerned 1t is myth. What little money loaned
was my own property, and the amount has been
greatly exaggerated. And as to the "licenSe,"
a1ter seeing the sneaking manner in which The
whole JOB was gotten up against me, and rather
than disturb the business of the office by having
number H my friends brought before police
court gave the 500 to the government for Ii
cenSe, Keeling satisfied at the same time IL had
contested the case would have been acquitted of
lniormerS,' failing to get their share Of q fine,
rushed into print to revie not only me- but de-
partment OF the government Il have no use for a
hcenSe.) Respectfully, GEORGE w. PERKINS.
