The idea of a post-cheCk system mas
been advocated for some time by those
who appreciate the difficulty OF SEND
ing small sums of money by mail
There has been a steadily increasing
demand for some form of postai cur
rency which will be always aValiapie

nostotrire for money order, or taxing
the risk of sending bills or SILVER III
,attars From this agitation has

,o,,a,.ees which is being much dis
cussed in the papers 1t may not be
made \ law at this session, but the bill
Indicates a growing tendency toward
! change in our circulating medium
that is significant
From summary Of the bill in the
Boston Transcript, we see that it pro
,.idas for an issue of money which
NAV be converted into a check by the
act of the sender. and which shall be
generally used in business transac-
tions. 1t is intended to substitute for
all outstanding money of the 81, 81
ana s. denominations, a currency Ct
like denominations, containing blank
spoces which can be filled in by the
holder. ana which then become checks
~ thr Government. In the ordinary
course of business, such money may
be used by anybody. When one is
filled in, it becomes a personal check,
redeemable at the postoftice, or pay
able through the bank i'll the usual
manner. The check thus made, is
cancelled at the postotlicc, and in due
time goes to the United States Treas
ury for redemption by new blank cur
rcncy of the same denomination.
II is also proposed, in the BILL to
of the same character, in denomina-
tions of five, ten, twenty-five and fifty
cents. This, however, is not to replace
the present silver currency, but to
take the place of the same amount OF
bills of denominations greater than SO.
If such fractional currency is to come
into general use, however. it VIII nat
uraIly take the place of the smaller
silver currency The promoters of the
plan seem 10 think that the fractional
currency is far more necessary i'll bust
ness transactions than the large DIS
But it is not with the large bills that
such money will come into compct-
ton. and it would seem, therefore, that
if the people are to have this money
conveniently at hand To use in the
mails it will have to take the
place of an equal amount Of silver.
1t is understood that the postottice
department is heartily in favor Of the
innovation. but Secretary Gage and
the treasury department are rather
conservative in the matter. There is
/ a danger that the change proposed. is
| too radical a one But all Will agree
that the present Inconvenience Of
sending money by mail should be
done away with. and to this end, the
