The following letter to postmaster
MacBain, from Acting First Asst Post
master General, E. G. Fowler, is self ex-
planatory.
WASHINGTON, d. c., March 10, 1892.
POSTMASTER,
Owosso, Mich.
Sir-Yours of the 9TH inst. received,
enclosing petition from residents of
your city outside of the free delivery
limits, asking for the extension of the
service, has been received. In reply l
have to say that the demand for the
improvement of the service within its
present limits in free delivery cities is
80 great that the Department would not
be justified in using any portion Of the
appropriation during this fiscal year for
its extension to new territory, therefore
the prayer of your petitioners and your
request for an additional carrier for the
extension of this service, must be de-
declined.
Very Respectfully,
+. c.. FOWLER,
Acting First Asst Postmaster Gen1.

Portland (Me.) AdvertiS&r -,
Mr.. w. A. OSBORNE of Owosso, Shia-
wassee county, Michigan, has been in
Portland on BUSINESS for several days.
His family were New England people,
as are a great PARTON of Michigan's
population. A le4er from his wife just
at hand gives sonic interesting particu-
lars of a curious pan to raise money for
church purposes, which was tried in this
vicinity, in Deerihg, not long ago. A
number of young ladies agreed to give
each dollar and to earn the money by
her own labor. Two of the most enter
terprising ladies of Owosso secured their
cash by personating Italian tambourine
players but Mrs. Ida Hume showed
more real pluck than anybody else.
Professor Simmons, of the High school,
offered her dollar if she would clean
off his horse. She accepted, although no
one thought she would do it. But sure
enough the next morning, before day
light, she was at the stable, and the
horse was never rubbed down more
thoroughly than she did it. The event
b created great amusement in Owosso,
I'd Mrs. Hume's determination is APP
plauded by everybody. For details at

water is carried along two canals, one nearly
a mile in length and the other one 1,7OO feet
long, which run parallel with the river. On
their banks are located the many prosperous
manufacturing establishments. including
five large paper mills, flour mills, stove
works and others too numerous to mention.

Edison and His Visitors.

About Orange you can hear number
less stories of Edison. Everybody likes
him. One man, who had for years been
in his employ as an experimentalist, told
of visit number of men-Jay Gould,
Sidney Dillon, Cyrus Field and others
paid to Edison at the laboratory one
day. Edison came out Of his workroom,
where he was busy, and shook hands
with Mr.. Field. At that instant some
thing popped into his head apropos Of
the experiment he was at work on. He
never gives an idea time to escape him.
Without a word Of excuse to the mag
mates, he turned on his heel and hurried
into his den again. They waited and
waited, and by and by, tired out with
delay, wendell their way down stairs.
Shortly afterward Edison came out and
asked:
where did those paupers go2"
"Down stairs"
"Did they walk?"
eyes"
"That's right. I don't want 'em to
wear the oil off my elevator"
Then he stood around and told stories
to his men. He is great man for
stories, and it is a tradition among his
employees that they can tell him the
same story every day for week and he
will never tire of it, nor in fact show
any sign of having heard 1t before

F1NANCE-THE SUPREME ISSUE.
(COntsnued from third paOe.)


That is not true; 1t Is a mere after
thought. While the people had their
currency, and before contraction set in,
they were out Of debt. Il Is not natural
for people to go in debt If they have the
money 10 pay, nor did they do 80 before
contraction was lnaugurated by McCul-
loch. The people OF this country were
then out of debt. When they failed to
realize upon their investments, when
they failed to obtain money, they sub
stltuted credit for money. But that was
all done after contraction began, and l
propose to prove that from high auth
ority.
Mr.. Secretary McOulloch, in his an
nual report to congress in 1855, In which
he was urging upon congress the sdop-
ton of the contraction scheme, says;
The people are now comparatively free
from debt.
This he gives as a reason why It Is
safe to enter upon contraction, that con-
traction which has ruined and pauper-
lied one-hslf Of our people. Who can
portray the experience and suffering of
the American people since that fatal
hour? Hoping that the people may
arise, and take the government once more
into their own hands, and that our civili-
zation may be made better through our
great suffering, will not trespssS fur
ther upon the time Of the house.-Re-
