THE PROPOSED POST CHECK.
Currency Intended for Transmission
Through the Mails.
Salt Lake Tribune

Salt Lake Tribune.
Congress is attempting TO perfect a de-
sign for currency intended especially for
transmission through the mails. and the
active people of the country wish it a sue
cess. The committee on postoffices and
post roads have before them a measure
providing a post check in denominations of
S. and under down TO the denominations of
fractional currency. 1t is proposed to re-
tire the FIVE, two and one-dollar bills now
issued by the government and substitute
the post check and make the latter the reg
ular paper money for these denominations.
The post check was devised by Mr.. c. w.
Post, a prominent and p~ublic-spirited citi-
zen of Battle Creek, Mich. He was assisted
in its perfection by a number of publishers,
and the plan has been earnestly Endorsed
by the American Newspaper Publishers
Association.
The general appearance of the post check
is that of the present one or two-dollar bill.

1t is profoundly hoped by a large ma
jority of the American people that Chair
man Payne. of the ways and means COM
mittee, will be found TO be fully justified
in his prediction that enough Republicans
will sustain his bill for Cuban reciprocity
to constitute a majority of the House, for
the reason that, as the date for the inde-
pendence of Cuba draws near. the greater
the importance of action by Congress that
shall win the good will of the Cuban people
by assisting TO place them under favorable
industrial conditions. The most reliable
reports from Cuba are to the effect that the
situation of the sugar-growers will small
plantations who employ many laborers is
very gloomy. Such is the representation
of Governor General Wood. who must be
a well-informed man. Last Tuesday the
New York Tribune contained a letter from
Cuba, in which he set forth the distressing
conditions now existing in the island. If
such conditions exist when independent
government shall be set III, with no pros
pect of relief, the outlook for the new gov
eminent will be dubious. for the reason
that a few thousands of idle and needy
people will be an element of danger. If
the small sugar planters can have an as
surance of better prices incident to a cut
in the duty on sugar, this danger will be
averted because they can obtain credit.
II seems that such facts and conditions
should appeal to men of both parties IN
Congress, since both are responsible for
the relation of Cuba to the United States.
