The Evening Star. PUBLISHED DAILY AT FOUR P.M. Resurrexi. TUESDAY, DECEMBER 13,1881.
Feom a cablegram recently received we learn that the President of the United States, General Arthur, has signed a convention providing for an exchange of the money order system between the United States, New Zealand, and New South Wales. It will be with feelings of satisfaction that the New Zealand and Australian public will hail the inauguration of this scheme, which will give better opportunities to people wishing to purchase goods of small value in the United States. Up to the present no such facility has been the privilege of the people, and a person desirous of obtaining a book from one of the great American publishers had to do so by means of stamps. This, as a matter of course precluded anyone from obtaining goods except to a very small amount, but the mutual exchange, shortly to be in operation, will confer a great boon, as it will enable people of not only a literary turn of mind to obtain works, pamphlets, etc., at American cost price, plus postage, but will further assist to open up the field of commerce in every branch.
