Dead Letter Business.

A circular from the Postoffice De-
partment dated Washington, d. c.,
Sept. 1, 1890, says:
Over six million pieces Of mail
matter are sent annually to the Dead
Letter Office by reason of incorrect,
illegible, or deficient address, INSULT
cient postage, insecure inclosing,
whereby matter mailed becomes
separated from the envelope or wrap
per, or the failure to be called for or
delivered to the person addressed.
This is daily average of over twenty
thousand pieces.
OF the unclaimed and undelivered
mail matter received at the Dead
Letter Office during the past fiscal
year, four hundred and fifty-one
thousand we're letters misdirected, or
only partially addressed--tbat is, not
addressed to a postoffice, or, addressed
to postoffice without the State be-
ing given, or, addressed to a postoffice
not in the State named, etc., etc.
while twenty four thousand wero en-
tirely blank, bearing no address what
ever. Among the latter were fire.

ware, OF Carson, who was so severely
injured in runaway accident last
Sunday, remains in the same uncon-
scious state. The attendant physi-
clans are not discouraged, but her
condition is extremely'critical
A condition Of affairs which per-
mits American manufacturers to sell
their products cheaper to foreign
countries than they do to the people
Of the United States, and still make a
profit on the goods exported, should
be denounced by the people. That
such is the case there is abundant
proof; and the law which permits
manufacturers to extort more than q
fair profit from the American con-
sumers is an outrage on the people.
This subject has been clearly shown
up by the New York World.
