\ private letter from Gov. Guy

He expresses himself as opposed to
the bill introduced by Senator Gray,
of Delaware, in which the Indians
are made United States citizens, he
does not think il fair TO the Indians.
He closes by saying 81 have been

earnestly hope we will be able to
leave here and report TO our people
an unchanged condition of affairs. T"
BY way of diversion, showing that
while he is in Washington laboring
for what he believes TO be right to
his people, his mind reverts TO his
beautiful country, and feels an inter
est in its happenings. He says:

POSTAL AFFAIRS.
The Annual Deficit, Etc.

Our postoffice department il in good
condition, and the exhibit made Of its
operations during the fiscal year end
ed June 30, 1896, If allowance is made
for tmperfections in the laws applic-
able to it. is very satisfactory. The to-
tai receipts during the year were $685.
4a9, 203.4O. The total expenditures were
! 1925, 296.S4, exclusive OF 1855, S9S27,
which was earned by the Pacific rail-
road for transportation and credited on
their debt to the government. There
was an increase of receipts over the
previous year Of $5,516 .0S0.21. or IL per
cent, and All increase OF expenditures Of
81, 1886 ,124.02, or 4.42 per cent. The de-
felt was $1,679,95G.19 less than that of
the preceding year. The chief expendi-
lures Of the postal service are regula tied
by law and are not in the control Of the
postmastcr-general. All that he can ac-
complish by the most watchful admin
istration and economy is to enforce
prompt and thorough collection and ac-
counting for public moneys and such
minor savings in small expenditures
and in letting those contracts, for post
office supplies and star service, which
are not regulated by statute. An ef-
fective cooperation between the audi
tors office and the postofflce department
and the making and enforcement OF
orders by the department requiring i'm
mediate notification to their sureties of
all delinquencies on the part Of post
masters and compelling such postmas-
tiers to make more frequent deposits OF
postal funds have resulted in a prOmp-
ter auditing Of their accounts and
much less default to the government
than heretofore. The years report
shows large extensions of both star
route service and railway-mail serv-
ice, with increased postal facilities.
Much higher accuracy in handling
mails has also been reached, as ap-
pears by the decrease Of errors in the
| railway mail service and the reduce
ton Of mail matter returned to the
dead letter office. The deficit for the
last year, although much less than that
| Of the last and preceding years. en-
phasizes the necessity for legislation to
correct the growing abuse Of second
class rates, to which the deficiency is
mainly attributable. The transmission q I
the rate Of one cent a pound of serial
libraries, advertising sheets, ''house
| organs" periodicals advertising some
particular house" or institution SAM
pie copies, and the like, ought certain
ly to be discontinued. A glance at the
revenues received for the work done
last year will show more plainly than
any other statement, the gross abuse
Of the postal service and the growing
waste of its earnings: The free matter
carried in the mails for the department,
Offices, ETC.. Of the government, and
for congress. in pounds, amounted to

TARIFF AND FINANCES.

l desire to recur to the statements
elsewhere made concerning the govern
ment's receipts and expenditures for
the purpose Of venturing upon some
suggestions touching our present tariff
law and Its operation.
This statute took effect on the 2Sth
day Of August 1894. Whatever may
be Its shortcomings as complete
measure OF tariff reform, 1t must be
conceded that 1t has opened the way
to freer and greater exchange of
commodities between us and other
countries, and thus furnished wider
markets for products and manu-
featuring. ...s.
The only entire fiscal year during
which this law has been in force ended
on the Goth day Of June, 1896. In that
year our imports increased over those
OF the previous year more than $6,500,-
900, while the value Of the domestic
products we exported, and which found
markets abroad, was nearly $4,000, 900
more than during the preceding year.
Those who insist that the cost to our
people Of articles coming to them from
abroad for their needful use should
only be Increased through tarifr charg-
cs to an extent necessary to meet the
expenses of the government. as well as
those who claim that tariff charges
may be laid upon such articles beyon
the necessities Of government revenue,
and with the additional purpose OF so
increasing their price in our markets
as to give American manufacturers and
producers better and more profitable
opportunities, must agree that our tar
III laws are only primarily justified as
sources Of revenue to enable the gov.
eminent to meet 5the necessary ex-
penses GIFTS maintenance. CONSIDERED
as to Its efficiency In this aspect. the
