lima, speaking of his bill in regard
to redeemable stamps, said that be
thought that this was measure
that if carried into effect would
greatly benefit people in the rural
districts. and especially those livin 2
remote distances from post-offices.
BY this bill Mr.. Alexander proposes
that the Government shall issue re-
deemable stamps of denominations
ranging from five cents to three dol
lars. These stamps are to be sold at
all postoffices and redeemed at any
money order Office. Mr.. Alexander
says that as the currency is now is
sued a man living five or ten miles
from a small post-office is in bad
Tx IT he wants to send twenty-five,
fifty, or seventy five cents to a city;
but If the Government provides the
sta mps described in his bill conve-
nlent demonstrations will be handy,
and people in towns who receive
them will be able to have them re-
deemed at postoffices, instead of hav-
Ing to rely on the ordinary postage
stamps, now SO generally used, aud
which have to be sold at a consider
able discount when disposed of. Mr..
Alexander thinks that all mer
