million dollars a year. 1t was little
discouraging to learn from Chief
Burnett that, doing this great vol
ume Of business, tho division does
not lose ten dollars year. Yet when
asked him for pointers as to how
might rob the place be said he thought
the best way would be to obtain q clerk-
ship here and follow the example Of
the woman who was detected about two
years ago making money rather faster
than she earned 1t. She was one Of six
or seven who counted the worn out
money before 1t was redeemed and de-
stroyed, and she figured out way to
tear a small piece from one
part OF one bill and small
piece from another part Of
another similar bill, and so on until
she had enough to piece out an entire
bill. She had it down so fine that she
could tear six twenty dollar bills so
that not enough of any one Of them
would be missing 10 make 10 irredeeu,-
able, aud yet from the pieces she had
taken out she could construct twenty
dollar bill that would be redeemable.
Treasurer Huston afterward showed
me fve hundred-dollar bill that an en-
terprising New York bank clerk had
made from pieces OF sixteen different
bills He got his money FOR the origi-
nal sixteen bills al right but when he
came 10 present his composite prOduc-
tion he got, not his I've hundred dollars,
but a few years in the penitentiary.
There was nothing in that experience
TO encourage Us, my fellow robbers. so
the only thing that seems 70 be left FOR
us is either to give up thinking Of rob

mered down, but Russian wheat
supplemented by more than sixteen
million bushels from India in 1889
has been crowding the American pro-
duct from the markets of Western
Europe.
This is the unequal contest to which
free-trade attorneys urge the Amerl-
can farmer In pursuit of the phan-
tom of a foreign market in which he
can sell only at loss, they ask
him to cripple the resources of that
home market which now consumes
nine-tenths of all farm products, and
which will, if adequately protected
against underpaid foreign labor, in
the near future supply American con-
sumers for all that the American
farmer has to sell. Com.

Country Mail Delivery.

Senator Sawyer's amendment to
the Deficiency bill authoring the ex-
pertinent of free delivery in the larger
villages, is in the right direction. The
most important Improvement in the
postoffice system is the extension Of
the free delivery system. THERE'S no
good reason Why towns of three or
four thousand people should not
have the benefits of free delivery, and
1t would not be very expensive. One
carrier, giving only small part Of
his time, could do the work.
Eventually, the free delivery sys-
tenn must extend into the country
districts. 1t would be a simple and
comparatively inexpensive thing IN
thickly populated states to send car
riers into the country from village
Dostoffioes, setting up neighbour
hood boxes at convenient spots. By
an arrangement among the people of
a neighborhood covering many miles,
aetters and papers could be delivered
daily to a great number of farmers
who now get their mail once or twice
q week. A neighborhood box five
miles from a village would leave but
q short distance for great many
farmers to go in order to get their
mail. 1t would hardly require more
carriers in proportion to population
than we have in cities. A carrier
with a horse could deliver mail on
three roads to considerable dis
tance from the postoffice every day
and by leaving letters with a respon-
sible person at the extremity of each
route could bring all the farmers in a
large circuit within couple of miles
