" The greatest misfortune in connection
with the failure through fraud of certain New
York savings banks is notthe losses Of the de,
positors. 1t is rather the loss of confidence in
such institutions which will inevitably ensue.
No intelligent person doubts that savings
banks are great blessing to the community
when faithfully managed, but when confidence
in their safety is rudely destroyed by dshones-
ty Of those who have control of them, it is a
long time before the poor dare to trust to them
again the small savings on which they rely
for times of hardship and trouble. When we
remember by what sacrifices and toll and per-
suasions the sums placed in savings banks by
the poor are obtained, the abuse of trust by
their officers appears among the most cruel
and selfish of all crimes. Such deeds as have
been brought to light in New York strike not
only at the comfort but at the moral welfare
Of society. Is it imaginary to suppose that
many sum swept away in this crash is the
money good wife has persuaded her husband
not to spend for rum by representing to him
the better way Of laying it up where it would
be safe 4? The very strongest argument with
the poor in favor of economy is made to mock
them by these rascaly failures. 1t is graft.
fcation to know that some of these men who
have supported themselves in riotous living by
stealing the pittauce of widows and orphans,
and specializing on the savings of the laborer,
are under arrest All the execration which
poor men have for criminals is their due, for
they have violated law by betraying sacred
trust. The curse of those who grind the faces
Of the poor applies to them with terrible fit.
ness and awful force. The whole history Of
these New York bank failures illustrates again
the danger of committing great and sacred
trusts to men of uncertain character.
