Parcels Post

An important extension of he parcel
post system goes into effect January
first, and will permit mailing packages
up to fifty pounds III weight, in the first
and second zones, an approximate dis
lance Of $50 miles. The last previous
extension increased the mailable weight
in these zones from II to 20 poundsr11
pounds being retained as the weight
limit In more distant zones The pres
ent extension allows weight up to 20
pounds for the Bird up to the 9Th zone.
Rates have also been lowered, except
that the minimum charge of five cents
for n pound in the local zone has been
retained. For instance, the rate for five
pounds t be delivered in the second
zane was originally fixed at % cents.
The new rate Is nine cents, less than
one third Of the Express Company
sharge. On II pounds mailed to the
second zone the original charge was 46
cents; the new rate Is Is cents.
Rural mail carriers will probably find
themselves in a predicament when the
extension gets in working order, and
some of them will find that they may
need an auto truck instead of their
motorcycles, for mail delivery purposes.
The railroads should be reckoned
with also. Thus far thousands of tons
of parcel post matter have been rams
ported, which would otherwise have
gone by express and the railroads
would have been paid for the carrying.
Thus far no arrangement has been
made to pay them for the extra mail
matter they have been forced to trans
port. This matter should be adjusted
speedily in simple justice to u COM
mon carriers. The government may
arbitrarily compel the railroads to work
for nothing In transporting government
mail matter, and the banks and trust
companies to go to thousands of dollars
of expense to make collections for the
government under the income tax law,
but 1t Is neither equitable nor just to
place these burdens without paying for
the service rendered.-Elmer Times.

Conditions in Canada

ut cannot be said that Canada is
over-populated, but it is true that the
Dominion cannot properly provide for
the people in the larger cities" observ-
ed Arnold 9. Engel, of Winnipeg, a
former Washipgtonian at the Shore
ham hotel.
IT spent the last eight months In
Winnipeg, a city of 250, 900 Inhabitants
and as prosperous, perhaps, as any city
Ia Canada. There can be no doubt that
Canada holds the finest prospects and
that eventually it will be a magnificent
country, but the government itself, as l
view the situation, is responsible for
conditions.
I'm Winnipeg g, for instance, there are
hundreds of men out Of work, and have
been for months. The city has been
one of the growing cities of Canada un-
til recently. The trouble has been that
the immigration authorities, under di-
rection of the dominion government no
doubt have been inviting and soliciting
immigration, advertising widely in all
countries, and overlooking the necessi-
ty of making provision for taking care
of the immigrants.
There is neitherwork nor provisions
enough to supply the influx Of people,
Canada, in fact, has been gro wing toe
fast. Real Estate booms have been re-
ported from all over the Dominion, un'
til now the bottom has dropped out,
In Winnipeg in June 24S real estate
firms went out of business, and mors
than $50 telephones in real estate offices
were removed.
ssThis lie a practical illustration oftht
conditions in Canada. We have heard
a lot about protection and Canada fol
the Canadians Doubtless, the Cana
dams are proceeding on the right tack
but the government, as / see it, hal
been a little premature, and the natur
al result has followed-inability to NEE
the big increase In population with
half-developed Washing

National banks have heretofore been
required to keep an amount equal to 5
per cen of their circulating notes, on
deposit with the u. s. treasurer, and
although they receive no interest on
this amount, it was allowed to be
counted as a part of the banks reserve.
Under the new law the 5 per cent de-
posit must continue with the U. 8.
treasurer, but the bank cannot count
1t as reserve, so that 1t will remain dead
nonprohtable money, SO far al the
bank is concerned.
One of the most important ~changesis
that which requires banks entering the
new system, to keep the part of their
reserve heretofore deposited with large
city banks, in the Federal Reserve
banks. This will take millions of
dollars from these big city banks, but
the new law as amended provides for a
gradual transfer Of these reserves, COY
ering a period of three years, to
prevent a sudden and violent contrac-
ton of the currency and credits.
The banks in which these reserves
have been kept, have acted as clearing
houses for country banks and have
done splendidS sfeice in return for their
deposits. and 1t is feared that the
prompt check collecting service hereto
fore enjoyed, will be seriously inter-
fered with. 1t would seem that 1t
would be more tardy II done through
the new Reserve banks, and more ex-
pensiveff done through the same cham
nels as heretofore. Most bankers be-
lieve their profits will be curtailed un-
der the new system, without any COM
pensating profit to local patrons. Ii,
however, the system establishes a cur
reney elastic enough to prevent panies,
the losses sustained by the banks will
not be a matter TO grieve over.

Country newspapers witha subscrip-
ton rate of 81 LOO per year, are waking
up to the fact that with rising costs of
production, they are aud have been
losing money. The Publishers' Aux
ilary, published by the Western News
paper Union, sho WI q list of 1884 country
papers 10 one section of the United
States. all but seventy of which have
advanced their subscription rate to
$3.50. In the past five years several
thousand papers have advanced sub
scription rates, and most of those which
failed to do so when the upward trend
ofcosts began to lower their net income,
wish now that they had taken the step
earlier 10 the game. Everything con-
nected with the operation of a printing
office has followed the trend In other
occupations, and the cost Of production
has SO steadily risen that many who
failed to take the OK by the horns in
time, now find themselves in a financial
dilemma.
Benjamin +. Ladd, editor of the
Vineland Journal, who died last week,
rose from printers devil to a position of
honor in his community. He was ar
example of what a well-rounded young
man can accomplish when he sets out
with integrity, industry, economy, and
business tact.
In addition to his newspaper business
he was in the real estate and insurance
business as a side line, for several years,
his combined activities yielding him a
comfortable margin over living expen-
SEES. 1t may be saidthathe successfully
conducted a newspaper in atown which
has earned the reputation of being the
graveyard of more printing and news
paper ventures than any other town Of
its size in the United States. This fact
brought him up against competition Of
the worst kind for many years. Prices
were cut by competitors below any pos
slbility of affording a profit, but as of
fee after Office quit business or was
closed up by the sheriff, Mr.. Laid pur-
sued the even tenor of his way, charg-
ing the right price, giving the rightser-
vice, and thus proved himself the su-
perior OF many who go headlong into
business, without reckoning the cost,
and fail.
Mr.. Laid never indulged in sensation
In his paper, but published the honey
items in a homely way, which attract
locally, and thus he succeeded where
| others failed. He was a man TO be-
pended on.-Elmer Times.

and new banks need not take out circu-
lation unless so desired. All national
banks now In existence were compelled
to purchase these bonds and to take out
circulation. A plan fairly satisfactory
Is arranged so that the banks may grad
ually get clear of their government
bonds aud circulating notes, without
other loss than that sustained on the
premiums originally paid for the bonds.
Mostofth he banks have already charged
this premium to profit and loss, but the
comptroller's report of all the banks as
of October 81, last, showed that those
which have not charged Off the
amounts, carry premiums on bonds as
an asset, to the amount of $6,284,000.
This item will be wiped Off the books
under the new law, and Is a dead loss
to the banks.
The new law allows a national bank
to loan on farm land mortgages, up to
one quarter OF its capital stock. The
farm land must be improved and unen-
numbered, and the mortgage must not
be for more than half the actual value
OF the land, mol be for q longer period
than five years. Under this law a bank
with $50, 900 capital, may loan $12, 900
on such mortgages, or banks having
time deposits may loan n third OF
them on mortgages. Time deposits are
designated as such interest bearing de-
posits as provide for at least 30 days
notice, before payment will be made.
