/ the post office department in his an.
nual report shows that during the las
year the number of post Offices in the
United States increased from 1876 L

160 a net increase in the receipts OF
$5,C0S.7G5. and IN expenditures of So,
77S.752. Upon this showing the audito,
asks for an Increase OF 30 clerks as q
minimum requirement for the year
1900.
Considerable space is devoted to the
subject of money orders and state
ment is given which shows that dur
ing the last year the system was con-
Quoted at an actual loss to the gov
eminent of approximately $l05, JOG,
which fact, the auditor says, would
suggest the exercise of great care in
legislating for the employing of new
financial features in the postal SER
vice.
The postal revenues for the year are
shown to have been $35, O21, 1884 and the
expenses $lO1, 435. 1863. leaving q deficit
of s6.413,s S5. OF this amount the treas
ury has advanced $4,000, 900, the bal
anca unpaid being $n3Ss5. The amount
Of second-class postage collected from
publishers and news agents was 49,

stamped envelopes. newspaper wrap
pers and postal cards sold was sS7.2sO,-
S54. The cost Of mail transportation
was $54. 423 05S, of which amount ST.
629. 749 was paid for the transportation
