MORTGAGE SALE.

wi aving been made in the conditions of a
certain indenture of mortgage bearing date the
2Sth day of January A. ID. 1890, executed by Fred
J. Slack and wife, Grace A. Slack, of Van Buren,
county. Mich to f. p. Grimes, Paw Paw. Mich,
and which mortgage recorded in the Office Of

The Other Side.

There is a natural tendency in human
nature to look at one side OF thing
and then assume that there is no other
side. 1t seems to me that this is empha-
sized in this box rent question. The
deficiency is admitted and the neces-
sity of raising the amount, but who
is to pay it is the question? "The other
fellers" say the kickers, and give some
reasons therefor | think the position
taken is mistaken and pernicious one,
for the following reasons:
NO principle is involved. We have
paid box rent, and no arbitrary limit is
fixed beyond which we can notgo.
2-The amount is not outrageous. Five
ninths of mill day is not burdensome.
3-The causes of the deficiency as previ-
ously given, cannot be corrected at once
and the money is needed now. Cars can
not be built, contracts changed and the
whole system rearranged in a day.
1T imputes motive to the govern
ment that the past does not Justify.
Many of us can remember the cutting oil
postage from five to two cents, the change
of newspaper postage, etc, and we have
no reasons to assume that this was done
for robbery.
5-It is heapng upon this administra-
tration the accumulated faults of all the
past ones. The things mentioned are not
the ut-growth of the present, but have
come come down from the past, and the de
ficiancy is rather the resultof the attempt
to give the people of the far West mail
facilities equal to those of the East, than
of free delivery in the cities.
cit shows lack of patriotism. The
government is making an earnest and
apparently honest effort to get out of
the terrible gulf of Indebtedness into
which it has been plunged during the
past few years, and it should be the inn
pulse of every true patriot to aid in this
effort even though we may not fully
agree with it in all its methods. Especial
" pensioners, those who risked their lives
for the nation, should stand by the ma
ton.
THE initiation of waiting for the
general delivery, with the extra labor inn
posed on those whose salaries will not be
increased, the embarrassment to the
government at a time when heart, head
and hands are full of more important
things, should inspire every true patriot
to sacrifice if need be, and certainly not
to embarrass in this crisis of our nation.

Hon. James Wilson,

Hon. James Wilson,
Secretary of Agriculture
Sir beg to acknowledge receipt of
your communication of the 18th ultimo
enclosing a letter from j. j. Woodman,
Esq, Paw Paw, Michigan, to John Trim
BILE, secretary Of the National Grange of
the Patrons of Husbandry, and to inform
YOU in reply thereto, that the depart
ment has not issued a general order in
creasing box rent rates, and that it does
not propose to do so.
4 partial revision of rates has been ac
complished by the department which in
wolves reduction of rates at many of
the postoffices, and a slight increase at
others. Those who have been benefited
by reductions are not heard FROM but a
few of those who have been required to
pay few pennies more per quarter for
the individual use OF postoffice boxes,
protest as though they had been depriv-
ed of their mail facilities. This has not
been the case, as the privilege of receiv-
ing mail free of all expense at the gen
eral delivery of each postofiice still con
tinues.
The departments not obligated to pay
fixed salary to poStmasters at postofiices
of the fourth class, nor to allow them for
the expenses for rent, fuel and light.
Hence, when postmasters at such post
offices recommend box rent rates which
are equitable and Just to- the patrons,
their wishes are complied with; but, at
postofiices of the presidential classes, the
department pays the expenses for rent,
fuel, light, clerk-hire and miscellaneous
items necessary to the advantage of the
public that the best service possible may
be maintained For these purposes il
must obtain large appropriations from
congress-; and, i'm order that congress
may be enabled to make such appropria
tons, funds must be placed il its dispos-
al from the revenues of the government:
and, for the same reasons that the gov
eminent prefers to obtain revenues for
its maintenance by small tax upon the
Injuries rather than upon the neces-
saries of life, the department prefers to
place a small tax upon postofiice boxes
assigned to individual use, that it may
not be compelled to collect tax from all
who receive mail at the general delivery.
This Office has been for years receiving
complaints from all sections of the
country, setting forth the injustice and
inequalities of rates at which box rents
have been collected. For this reason.
