In speech delivered at Asheville, N. c..
Mr.. Bryan said:
II believe under free coinage gold would
come here instead of going away, and the
only way to stop the outflow of gold is to
adopt bimetallism, raise the price of wheat,
and pay our debts in produce instead OF
gold.''
He was quite sure that the only way to
stop the outflow of gold was as he stated,
yet the outflow of gold has stopped and the
inflow is going on without the adoption of
his plan. The price of wheat has risen on
gold basis, which he declared, over and
over again. would never happen.

1t is probable that the receipts of the
Dead-letter Office at Washington will be
largely increased after the holidays. The
law requires full prepayment of postage
on all fourth-class matter, which includes
the class of articles usually sent us Christ
mas presents. If not fully prepaid with
stamps the packages are not forwarded.
The law permits the sender to write his
name and address on the outside, and in
that case understamped packages are re-
turned to the sender; otherwise they are
held for two weeks and then forwarded to
the Dead-letter Office, unless the person to
whom the package is addressed, when no
titled, sends the necessary postage, in which
case it is forwarded The total number of
pieces of all kinds received at
the Dead-letter Office averages about
twenty thousand for every bust
ness day in the year. Much the great
est part of these are letters wrongly adj
dressed, illegibly addressed missent, under
paid or which for any reason cannot find
their destination. 1t also includes a large
number of packages and parcels, especially
of such as are underpaid. The number of
these received after the holidays is always
much larger than at other times. II they
contain articles of value a record is kept
of them, and if inquiry is made, with proof
identifying contents, they are returned to
the sender After considerable time, If
no inquiry is made regarding them, they
are either sold at auction destroyed, or
if very odd and curious, placed in the de-
partment museum. Special care is taken
with parcels addressed to foreign countries
Concerning these the first assistant post
master general says in his last report:
AS a result of this too-little-understood
requirement thousands of parcels ard let
tiers containing articles of merchandise an
nually reach the Dead-letter Once. This
is particularly true Immediately following
