POST CHECK MONEY.
New Suggestion for the Easy and
safe Transmission Of Currency
Through the Mails.

| y clear-headed business man has put
his practical mind to work and evolved
a sensible plan for postal currency
| which has been embodied in the Nc
Millan-Ga rdner bill now before con-
greSs. 1t seems to be altogether the
| best suggestion yet put forth for Sc
curing a safe and convenient method
of sending money through the mail
In brief. it is proposed to reissue all
one, two and five-dollar treasury notes,
| coin or silver certificates now in circu-
lation and have the faces of the new
bills provided with blank lines. This
| would be the ordinary money of the
| day. When one wishes 10 send money
by mail, say $500. he takes such a bill
| from his poke book. writes on its face
the name of the perSon or firm to whom
| IT Is to go, the city and state. aftixes and
| cancels two-cent stamp in the square
Indicated (one-cent stamp for frac-
tlonal bills), and signs his name on the
back. The bill which previously was
negotiable money now becomes a per-
sonal check on the United States gov
eminent for $500, as safe for trans
mission as any bank check. 1t is en-
| desired and is collected by the receiver
upon identification at the post Office
named, new bill being given for the
| old one.
The scheme would be Of great benefit
| to farmers business men and publish
ers; ladies would appreciate its con-
venience. business houses now receive
large quantities of postage stamps
| through the mails. One Chicago pub
Usher reports the receipt of $3.50, 900 in
stamps in one year, nearly $1,000 per
day. Others have this same experience
on smaller scale. With post check
| money this nuisance is avoided as well
as the tiresome and time-consuminr
trip to the post Office to secure a money
order; n convenient, safe and instantly
| available form of money is supplied
with which the public can safely
transact mail business which now ap-
gregated in small sums upwards of two
| billion dollars a year. The small fee
| charged would probably aggregate a
| larger revenue to the government than
Is received from the present money or
| der system. The continual retirement
| and re-issuing of these bills would in
sure clean money and keep the circula-
| tion at par.
The financial policy of the govern
ment is not disturbed, the only change
being in the form OF printing upon the
bills. The inventor offers the govern
ment his patent free of cost upon adop-
| ton. The acceptance of this system
would be FASTENED if all who desire il
would write their senators and repre-
sentatives in Washington urging its
| adoption.
