substitute for the money order system
The post chequc. Mr. Posts device. is
no more nor less than fractional currency
in every day circulation. while the spaces

tended 10 replace the silver coin either
partially or wholly. When the individual
desires to send a small amount OF money
through the mail. he takes from his
pocketbook perhaps, fifty cent piece
and Il Onc-dollar piece. without more ado

whom he desires the money paid gives
also the name OF the city and state. then
ankles Il two cent postage stamp in the
square indicated. and thereupon signs his
name in ink, the signature traversing and
canceiling the stamp.
by this act, pieces OF money that up to
that moment have been negotiable and
have passed from hand to hand are in
stantly transferred into pieces Of eX-
change payable only to the payec named.

estimated that the government s receipts

considerable amount in excess of the

practically all sums sent by mail would

whereas under the present arrangement

This plan would also dispense with the
need of money order clerks and the red
