Greenbacks and Bonds.

The greenback costs the people moth
ing except the printing of the bills
They do not circulate without being
borrowed, and they pay their face value
of government obligation in the very
act Of being paid out The issue and use
Of greenbacks reduce the debts Of the
country. The issue and use of bonds
and bank notes increase the debts of
the country in a twofold degree: L. By
the sale of interest bearing bonds. Q.
By the loaning Of the bank notes on in
terest bearing paper before the bank
notes can enter the circulation.
These facts show why the ancient
policy Of this country is now to be re-
versed. 1t is done ip the interest of a
bondholding plutocraey and against the
interests of the people. Davis

EXPRESS AND TELEGRAPH.
"A Situation That Is Stupid and Absurd
Prolonged by Bribery and Corruption.

"A Situation That Is Stupid and Absurd
Prolonged by Bribery and Corruption.
The Sun very properly applauds "The
Fidelity of Our Postal Service, point
ing out that though the number of let
ters handled by the United States post
office "approximates 5000, 600, 600, the
complaints OF erroneous, belated or i'm
perfect delivery, or of nondelivery
amount in a year to only about 10000,
or one complaint in 100, 200 of the let
ters posted"
This and more Of equally flattering
import The Sun prints as evidence of
the great success with which the gov
ernment machinery may be applied to
the business Of transmitting and deliv-
ering letters and parcels of a certain
class.
Why not parcels of all classes? What
is there in the express business-except
Senator Platt-to make impossible or
unwise it's assumption by the govern
ment? The extortionate prices exacted
by the express companies do not imply
or secure better service than the govern
ment gives for trif1e. The express par
eel sent to Chicago at a cost of 45 cents
is neither more certain nor more speedy
in reaching it's destination than tho
penny post card. Indeed, every body
knows that time and again the express
companies, being puzzled by an incom-
plete or incorrect address, mail post
card to that address, with the usual re-
suit Of finding the person sought. They
use the cheap postal facilities to make
effective their expensive but Indifferent
express system.
What is true of the express business
is equally true of the telegraphs High
charges and slipshod service are the
characteristics Of the telegraph business
under the much vaunted system of 'in-
dividual enterprise" For a special 10
cent stamp the government will send
out an intelligent man to deliver your
letter. For thrice as much the telegra oh
companies intrust your dispatch to
careless urchin and not even guarantee
to deliver the same message you send
unless you pay extra to have it repeated
to you.
Nothing but corruption and bribery
has delayed SO long the incorporation of
telegraph and parcels post system in
our postotfice department.. There is no
use mincing words. Bribery and cor
ruption, employed by monopolistic COR
porations for their own protection, have
prolonged a situation which is stupid
and absurd. New York Journal.

MUNICIPAL RAILWAYS.
How Glasgow Has Fine Street Car Service
and Low Rates of Fare.

The fourth annual report of the Glas-
gov tramways department., which COW
ers the 10 months ending May 81 last,
shows the continued progress of this ia
nous municipal enterprise The gross
profits have increased to e1OO, 53S
($502, 690). To appreciate fully the
profitable character of the Glasgow
municipal tramways it should be remem-
bered that the policy Of the department
is not to accumulate profits in aid of
rates, but to build upa fine service, both
cheap and efficient.
1t meets the interest (e13, 497) on the
capital and sinking fund charges (e11,-
O75), and in addition has this year set
aside the large sum of G22, 664 (S113,-
420) for depreciation, which is written
off capital.
There still remains a net surplus of
$50, 1857 ($l96, $3.50, which, added to the
payment to the common good fund,
would be sufficient to pay a dividend of

May %, the following resolution was

"That in the event of the postoffice

Defend Your Institutions.

Since the money press has deemed it
proper and necessary to attack the Unit
ed States postal service it behooves all
friends of good American institutions
to come to their aid The fight is on. If
the American people desire to retain
possession of the postoffice service, they
must stand ready to protect it. Leading
metropolitan papers are declaring that
it is failure and should be placed in
the hands Of private capital.
They lie, and they know they lie. They
lie for an object. The postoffice is an
object lesson to the people. 1t shows
them what government service can do
for them even under the most unfavor-
able circumstances. 1t points the way
to the national ownership of railways,
mines and other natural monnopolies;
hence it is necessary for the corporation
press to traduce the postofice and point
to a trihing deficit as reason why it
should pass into the hands of Rookie
feller or Morgan.
1t cent stamp were used instead
of a 2, the surplus would be enormous.
AS it is, there has been slight deficit.
There are no fractional parts of a cent
in use. One half Of one mill added to a
stamp would create a surplus. New

Notes.
Correspondence OF the Yorkville Enquirer.
WARREN, March 7.-Since the writing
of my last letter we have been busy pre-.
pairing our lands for planting, and as the
weather has been unusually favorable for
farm work, we have more plowing done
up to date than we had by the same time
in April last year; but since the rain of
Thursday night and Friday the ground is
thoroughly wet, and there will be no
more blowing done for several days.
Judging from the land that is being
prepared, and the amount of fertilizers
that are being bought, it seems that there
will be an increase rather than decrease
in the acreage of cotton.
There has been considerable excitement
over maddogs i'm this section, and conse-
quently great many dogs have been
killed. Let them go. We have too many
dogs any how.
There is some excitement down this
way over the probabilities of war i'll the
near future, and while we are willing to
go to the front il it is necessary, we have
no hankering for it whatever, and we
hope this matter will be settled otherwise
than by war.
Our Gospel Temperance union, which
was to have met on Saturday night, the
18th of February, was again failure
owing TO the weather being very untavor-
able; but we are not in the least discour-
aged, and will have Il meeting soon and
continue our fight against old King Al
cohol.

Owing to the fact that I have
promised to meet a number Of
my customers at specified time
to receipt for money due on last
years account, it is impossible
for me to be present at the grand
rally looking to the cessation
of rowdyism in Cuba, for as the
old maxim contends for "busi-

it is not we'll to break a business
engagement for every trivial mat
ter that presents itself to our fam

we are patiently waiting their
coming, and their early rush will
be a potent signal to our going
to the front.
Stand to your promises boys,

and thus prevent me from being
