Recently the Assistant Treasurer of the
United States at New York City has
turned into the Postoflice Department fund
the sum of 81 100000, which has been accu-
mulating in the Sub-treasury during the
last 30 years from the funds paid to the
money order Postoffices for remittances
which have never been claimed. Old
money-orders are presented at the Postotfice
Department almost every day, but the
amount of the unpaid money-order fund
increases constantly, and there is no likeli-
hood that any part of the $l,30O,OOO will be
claimed by its owners In fact, every year
from $4,000 to 100000 is added to the
fund, which represents carelessness or neg
lect.
This is only one source of unearned IN
come which the Government has. The Post
Office Department furnishes another IN the
stamps which are destroyed from year tC

collectors.
The value of stamp is represented in the
service which it will never be called upon to

Stamps intended mainly rs source Of in
Come. Many Central American Republics
issue stamps of now design eyery year. The
Republic Of Liberia, it is said, issues stamps
more for an income to be derived from sales
to stamp-collectors than for postal purposes.
The Treasury Department has a large
source of income in the issue of bonds and
bank-nOtes. There is no doubt that OF the
$50 ,OO0, GOO worth of bonds just issued some
proportion will never be presented. There
is more than million dollars in the Treas
ury to-day due to holders of Government
bonds. There are millions of dollars OF
United States notes marked on the Treas
ury's books as not redeemed which will
never be presented. Most OF this money has
been destroyed. Occasionally some of 1T
appears and is presented for redemption, but
each year the fund grows larger.
As to the amount represented IN unpaid
claims or supplies that is something which
could hardly be computed. 1t often takes
the lifetime of not only the claimant, but
the generation coming after him to reach a
settlement with the dilatory Congress.

sign has been adopted, aud the monument wllI
be placed in position in the Spring, says cor

Dwight C. Kilbourn, Of LitchGe!d, Chairman
Of the Committee having the erection oil the
monument in charge. The cross surmounting
the work represents the Sixth Corps badge, and
will commemorate the participation OF the
regiment In the service and history Of that
corps in the Army of the Potomac. The Con-
necticut coat Of arms is shown on the shield,
and the granite blocks beneath will represent a
ratification. This will be emblematc of the
I'd hcavy's long service ia the defenses OF

Mr.. CHAIRMAN: DO not believe that any

the honorable gentleman from Tennessee MT.

soldiers and in respect 10 all citizens. NOBODY

of frauds, whether they are committed on the
pension- rolls or in violation of the revenue
laws. OF any other laws Oh tho statute book.
What / protest against is this: the DISPOSE
ton on the part of the executive branch OF the
Government to stiEmatize soldiers as the only
peopc who are desiring TO commit frauds upon
the Government That is "A SANDER and an
outrage. Where are the reports from the
Treasury Department of tho false oaths aud
the false invoices and the false valuations OF
those who commit frauds upon the revenue
laws? Where is the list OF indictments found
and punishments inflicted on those who have
forged testimony aud brought forward spurl-
Gus war claims upon the Government? We do
not lind.them. But there is constant reltcra-
ton all the time about frauds committed on
the pension rolls, as if they were the only
frauds committed uuon this Government.
There is the sting; there is the oiense; there
is the SANDER: and J. as a soldier and in behalf
of my comrades. rcpel it, from whatever source
it may como. Loud applause. The subject
cannot he alluded to in a Presidential message
unless the tonic Of fraud is associated with sol
diers' pensions. 1t cannot be referred TO IN a
renort from the interior Department or the
Pension Office unless the item OF fraud Is made
conspicuous; and think there has been some
thing too much of this; it has become stale and
worn.
