POSTAL REcEIPrs-From a cir

POSTAL RECElPTS-From q cir cular recently issued by the postof- flee department, it is found that the postal receipts of the fifty largest offices in the United States are in creasing at a rapid rate. The re- ceipts for these fifty offices for the month of November was s9.09s. .40092. or $1.426,9S51I in excess of the re- ceipts for November. 1908. in the same offices. These same fifty of- fices during the five months from July to November, inclusive. received $i1,915, ,S1053, an excess of 10.99 per cent over the receipts for the same period of 1908 by the same offices. That the November increases were greater than those of the preceding part of the same period this year is illustrated by the fact that in the table showing percentages of Novem- Der increase over last year. only seven offices were below the 10.99 per cent average for the entire pe riod. while forty-three of the offices showed increases ranging from 1l.41 per cent for Chattanooga. Tenn. to 34.08 per cent for Seattle, fifteen of
 
 crease this year, for that month. And this latter list includes New York, Chicago. Kansas City. Newark, N. J., Los Angeles. Portland. Ore. and nu- merous other large cities. so the big percentages mean wonderful in- crease in cash totals. If the volume of postoffice business is any indica- ton of business activity throughout the entire country, the little old Unit ed States is certainly going some right now.

Merely Agent for Depositors.

In discussing this subject the other
day Postmaster General Meyer said
THE postal savings banks in foreign
countries transfer the savings of a dis
trict to the capital or central Office where
the money is invested in the public debt,
but, under the plan proposed for the
United States, the Post Office Department
merely acts as an agent to deposit the
money in the national banks in the dis
tricts where it is brought to the post
offices. Thus the money will be kept in
the localities where it belongs, a source
of advantage to capital and labor In those
communities.
THE national banks receiving the de-
posits are to pay the government rate
of interest not less than "a per cent The
government will pay per cent to the de-
positor In the postal savings bank. The
experience of England has shown that
one-quarter of l per cent Is sufficient to
pay all incidental expenses and still leave

II there are no postal savings repositories
the greater portion Of the deposits will

minded banker forgets or ignores the fact
that the damage in this country during
financial disturbances has always been
caused by a contraction Of the currency,
due to the Withdrawals and consequent
hiding Of funds. There is sufficient cur
rency, provided it can be kept In circu-
lation at such times, and one of the great
est advantages of postal savings banks
would be their ability to prevent contrac-
ton of the currency and to turn back
into circulation the money which other
wise would go into the pocket, the tin
can or the stocking. Hoarding increases
as the real need for money becomes moro
