has sent out information concerning
them. Postmaster Monnot has received a
letter describing them they are all of the
2-cent denomination, which have been
printed at the Brueau Of Engraving and
Printing since Octbocr 3, 1894.
Compared with the genuine stamps
of that design" says third assistant Post
master General Craige,, they are whittier
and have fuzzy look, suggestive Of photo
| lithography The clear cut steel, en-
graved stamps received from the depart
ment should be compared with; suspected
counterfeits, remembering that for some
weeks, beginning October 3, 1894, the gen
uine was very pale i'm color but did not
exhibit the chalky white appearance, at
| tributable principally to the broken hori-
zontal lines, while those of the steel en-
graved stamps are continuous and clean
cut"
The postmaster is instructed that all
counterfeits In the mail matter shall be
! held for postage and not delivered until
the name and location Of the sender are
learned and the aid Of the nearest post
office inspector Is obtained. Samples of
the bogus stamps have been sent to all
State capitals for use in comparing.
Many people have an idea that the post
master will redeem stamps. Newspapers
and others who conduct business by mail
as well as many merchants take stamps
the same as money. The postoflice regu-
J lations do not allow the postmaster to
buy these stamps. None Of this has been
done in Canton. The postmaster here
has lived up to the regulations strictly.
A good many country postmastcrs who
are also store keepers dispose of n large
number of stamps here in Canton in pay
ment for goods bought. The country
postmaster makes his salary out Of the
number of stamps he sells and cancels
and near the large cities quite good sal
ary is made by the postmaster of the lit
tie suburban towns by large firms send
