The Printers Friend.

The newspaper fraternity has
friend in Representative Scott, q
Illinois, who has introduced bill pro
hibiting the post Office departmeu
from selling stamped envelopes bear
ing the usual printed request for
return TO TIE owner after limited
period,
"Under the present law" said Mr.
Scott, "the government is direct
competitor with every printing house
in the country. The government
furnishes envelopes stamped and
printed for the same price as they are
furnished without the return request.
This is an unwarranted trespass by thu
government upon the private business
Of every printer in the United State,
and many million dollars annually ar,
thus taken from them"
There is not printing Office in tn,
land that does feel the injustice of thu
present usage. II is difficult to under
stand why 1t eyer obtained. There is
just as much sense in the government
printing envelopes as there is in its
selling groceries or drygoods. In either
case 1t is interfering with the rights OF
one class Of citizens to their detriment.
while not interfering with the business
Of others.
There are in Abilene, we are glad to
say, few business men Who do not
realize the justice Of standing by one
another. They know that the news
papers Of town do them and the city
thousands Of dollars worth Of good
every year for which nothing is re-
ceiyed or asked. Hence they get their
envelopes printed at the newspaper
Offices aud 50 assist one another. The
number of those who do other wise IL
growing less aud deserves to until
every man who uses a government
printed envelope is looked upon as an
migrate and an enemy of his commu.
MY as we look upon one VINO sends
out of town for his wearing apparel
and groceries.
The passage Of Mr., Scott's bill would
do away with the soliciting by post
masters or their employees of smaller
towns in order to sell the envelopes
and so increase their office receipts
and hence keep up their salary. As il
is the government not only Injuries the
printing fraternity but has its Officers
AS canvassers among business men T.,
secure more work for the government
office. 1t is unjust aud unfair.
MIR. Scott has proved himself the
printers friend aud deserves the sup
port Of every newspaper man in tn,
nation.

Fifth DiRtrict Democrats.

Running for office on the democratic
ticket in Kansas Is going to be a pleas.
ant and harmless amusement this year
and Is not going TO cost much. Hence
a.,number of patriots would like the
fun Of making a campaign in the hope
that If a democratic president is elected
they would stand d chance Of getting
something.
Park Warren In the Kansas City
Times says this regarding the Fifth
district prospects: THE democrats in
the Fifth district are discussing avail.
able timber for congressman. Joe
Lowe Of Washington, Capt. Libby of
Morganville, Sam Kimball of Manhat.
tan. Sid Cooke Of llerington, Capt. j.
A. Lowe of Clyde, DR. o. +, Searl and
Col. J. Sheahan Of Solomon and Farmer
Gill of Geary county are competent
men, any one of whom would make an
excellent nominee. Should John Dawn
be nominated there is no doubt about
straight democratic ticket in the
Fifth. Farmer Gill would be sure
winner IT the opposition could combine
upon him. He is practical farmer
aud an alliance man without being n
peoples party man. From every
county in the district come strong
protests against having anything To 90
with John Davis"
1t appears THAT even democrat has
sense enough to despise the prest nj
excuse for congressman that the
district possesses.

Money Circulationg.

There has been an interesting paper
prepared by the director Of the mint
showing the volume Of money circula
ting in Great Britain, France, Ger
many and the United States on July J g,
1891. 1t gives the following figures;
United hingdom.'.,......... o9'uo0oU

The amount per capita Is: United
Kingdom, sls,33; France, $500; Ger
many, Sls.3s; United States, $3.50,
The Topeka Capital justly says
regarding the showing; while France
has much larger showing per capita
than any other II the four nations, its
paper. circulation Ia less one fourth
than that of the United States. The
United States has larger circulation
per Capita than England or Germany
by nearly 40 per cent II these coun-
tries can get along with a volume Of
money per capita SIS 33, 1t is foolish
to describe the United States, with
$3.50 per capita, as drifting toward a
financial cataclysm for want Of money
enough to carry on business.
