CARRYING THE NAILS.

If a letter in which you are interest
ed goes astray you are very likely to
wax exceeding wroth and indulge in
vehement invective against Uncle
Sans postal service. You are un-
doubtedly justified in your vexation,
and it will be no balm to your per-
turbed spirit to learn that 1851, 900
pieces of registered mails were hand
led last year with the loss of only one
piece in every 1924. If your piece
CHANGED to be the special one lost out
of the 1924, your grief will not be
mitigated by the thought that its 49,
253 companions reached their desti
nations in safety.
1t is nevertheless interesting to
learn from the report of Fourth AS
sistant Post Master General Max
well that the postal business of the
country is transacted with such trivi
al loss. The general public does not
realize to what an extent the trans
portation Of the mails is a prey to
depredations, and that more letters
are not lost as the result of dishon
esty is due to the energy Of the post
Office inspectors and the safeguards
thrown about the mails by post
masters and their assistants. 1t is
gratifying to learn that the number
Of postoffice burglaries has rapidly
decreased during the last three years.
The marked increase in the number
of postofice burglaries up to 1894 was
regarded with alarm by the depart
nent, and the necessity for applying
some heroic remedy to. check this
class of depreciation was urged upon
the post master general in the report
for that year. The remedy suggested
was the offering of suitable rewards
for the apprehension and conviction
of postof1ce burglars. This recon-
mendation was earnestly Endorsed by
the postmaster general and accorded
favorable consideration in Congress,
a special appropriation of $50, 900 for
rewards for this class of criminals
having been provided.
This remedy has proved very eff
cacious, and, to great extent, has
fulfilled all the good anticipated from
the measure. In fact, the results OBJ
tanned have been SO satisfactory that,
upon the recommendation Of the de-

partment, Congress renewed the APP
pro priation for this purpose for the
current year. Despite all possible
precautions thefts will doubtless con-
tinue until the millennium of honesty
of all men is reached. Nevertheless,
if your letter goes astray be not too
hasty in your Judgment that it has
been stolen while in charge of the
postal authorities. The carelessness
Of some one who does not wear Uncle
Sans livery is responsible for the
great percentage of fruitless letters.

BANKERS GIVE WARNING.

Despite the attacks of the BRYAN
ties upon the bankers of the com
munity, the average citizen will be
free to acknowledge that the man
who represent the financial interests
of the country have every reason to
be solicitous for the prosperity of the
country for purely selfish reasons.
Curtailment of the country's business
means hardship to the bankers When
therefore, the 375 delegates to the
/ twenty second annual convention of
| the American Bankers Association
meeting at st. Louis, adopted a re-
solution Of warning against free sill
yer, it is to be admitted that in free
silver, they see change to the we'll
being of the country, and their de-
claration must have weight.
This association declares that in it's
opinion the existing commercial de-
preston is Immediately due to attacks
which threaten to overthrow the pres
ent gold standard of value, and that
our full measure of national prosper
ity will not be gained until the whole
world understands that the dollar of
the United States is one hundred
cents worth of gold, and that the ma
ton intends to keep it at that value.
They express the belief that an OPP
portunity is presented by the issue of
this political campaign to give a last
ing definition of the dollar as money
unit, to permanently settle it's foun-
dation and prevent an overturn of
values and the far reaching ruin and
distress which descent to a silver
basis would involve.
In speaking of the proposed legis-
lation, the bankers give as their OPP
MON that before the minis could
begin to coin silver every dollar of
gold would disappear from circula-
ton, thus violently contracting our
currency. The value of the remain
ing dollars would be the bullion value
of the silver they contained, renewed,
of course, by the gold standard of the
money markets of the world.
AS their resolution says the bank
ers want the dollar which will do the
country the most good, and they COM
mend to the voters the opportunity
they now have to decide upon the fut-
ure value of their dollar. and to re-
move from the nation that menace SO
destructive to values and to business.
The responsibility rests with the
voters.

GOLD CONTRACTS.

A case Of considerable Importance
has been instituted III the United
States court Of Kansas, relating, as
| it does. to one of the issues presented
by the Chicago platform. 1t is suit
! brought to foreclose mortgage
given to secure a loan made pay
able in gold The mortgager pleads
in defense law passed by the
Populist legislature Of that state pro
hibiting the making Of contracts on
gold basis, and thus the question of
the validity of such legislation is to
that transactions Of this kind imply,
''the decentralization OF legal tender
money by private contracts" and
that they should, therefore, be for
hidden. On the other hand, it is
claimed that citizens have a rightsto
make contracts for the payment of
debts or obligations in any specific
article or form of currency or money,
and that neither Congress nor a state
legislature has authority to take away
that right. The supreme court Of the
United States has twice decided that
a contract calling for payment in
gold is enforceable: or in other
words, that when gold is stipulated,
tender Of payment in any ether kind
of money is not sufficient, any more
than the delivery Of a COW would be
sufficient to discharge an obligation
to deliver a horse.
1t is worth nothing, furthermore,
that the right of citizens to make con-
tracts for the payment of debts in
specific form Of money has been rec
ognized by Congress in legislation di-
rectly pertaining to the currency.
For instance, the act of 1890, which
called the Treasury notes into exist
ence, provided that they should be
legal tender for all debts, public and
private, ''except when otherwise ex-
pressly stipulated in the contract"
which may certainly be construed to
authorize contracts for payment in
gold. A similar provision was in the
Bland Allison act of 1878. The obi
cation of such a contract would be
impaired, Of course, by permitting
payment to be made in different and
less valuable kind Of money; and the
States are forbidden by the Constitu
ton to pass laws having an effect of
that sort. 1t is hardly to be doubted
that the supreme court of the United |
States, as now constituted, can be de-
pended upon 80 maintain the validity
of gold contracts, and to declare all |
state laws prohibiting such contracts |
unconstitutional. But the scheme Of |
the free silverites includes the recon I
struction Of that great tribunal to the
end that this and other populistic
notions shall not be defeated by Judi
cial action. The bulk of the munich
pal and railroad indebtedness of the
country is payable in gold, and COM
mon honesty requires that all con-
tracts so conditioned shall be carried
out in good faith. Payment in an in
ferior kind of money would imply re
quotation, and the way to prevent the
cheating Of creditors in that way is to
put the Republican party in control
Of the government.-jSt Louis Globe

sued a new work, which should find a
place in every household. 1t is entitled,
Tin Sickness And In Health" As its title
indicates, it treats of family medicine but
in far different manner from any previous
publication. ssFamily Physician" so
called, have appeared from time to time,
but they have been issued with one of two
purposes in view: either the advertising OF
some special physician, or, for the purpose
OF putting some patent medicine. Their
lack of value is therefore apparent. The
publishers in this work, have employed
corps. of skilled physicians, each of whom
is assigned his speciality, thus securing the
ablest possible treatment of the topics
treated. The work is receiving the high
