The need is for money in the hands of the people that can be safely and Instantly sent by letter. The provisions of the "post check" currency bill, now before congressi in troduced in the senate by Mr. McMil lan, and In the house by Mr. Gardner, of Michigan, provides for printing the one, two and five dollar bills in the future with blank spaces on the face. These bills, of course, pass from hand to hand before the blanks are filled.

The adoption or the post check notes will afford a most convenient and sate money for the agricultural commu nities, to whom banks, with their fa cilities and safeguards, can not be utilized ' with convenience. It is clnimed by those who have investi gated the subject, that the revenues of the postofllce department would be very materially increased oy tne adoption of the post check system. A somewhat unusual feature of the post check proposition is the fact that the inventor is a successful busi ness man. who has for years realized the urgent necessity for a "simpler wnv of making small remittances in the name of the sender is signed on the back. and. presto! his money has suddenly ceased to exist as currency and has been transformed into a check on the United States govern ment, having all the safety of any bank check and ready for inclosure in his letter.
