/ have noticed from time to time the
statements of most esteemed contem-
porary respecting the amount of money or
der business transacted by him, i'd while
am grateful for being reneTed OF consider
able Improbable labor, yet am conscious
that there other means used to transmit
money than express money orders; and it
behooves me to discard all enmity and
prove the statement just made. On July /,
1897, after having been money order
Office for nearly five years, there had been
issued 454 orders and I have this day issued
the Sand order, being nearly 400 orders is
sued in IS months. During the present
month there have been 81 orders issued for
an aggregate amount of $l13, and together
100. 40 registered letters remitting perhaps
as much more money, coupled with the fact
that this Office has paid during these %
days $141, in money orders, demonstrates
clearly that the public have explicit conf
dence in Uncle Sam, as well as in private
corporations, and that we are enjoying a
renewed era of Republican prosperity"
