THE POSTAL RAyUS

Mr.. Creswell recommends the establish
nent of postal banks in the chief postofFices
of the United States, AND his suggestions
are Endorsed by the President. The idea
is not to intrust the investment Of the de.
posts to the postmasters, but to make the
postofiices mere agencies to transmit the
deposits to the United States treasury at
Washington, and to make them also Offices
for the payment of deposits, so that funds
placed in any postal bank may be drawn
either from chat or from any other in the
wide circuit of the country at the option of
the depositor. He is to have also the
guarantee of the United States for the pay-
ment of both principal and interest.
The savings banks of England have been
recently supplemented by the postal banks
Of the government, whose deposits now
reach s92, 100000 and are becoming popu-
lar. The low interest allowed in the
savings banks in England may account in
part for their slow rate of progress. This
interest is but three per cent. The interest
allowed in the postal banks is but two and
a half per cent, and still while the saw
ings banks are stationary the postal banks
gain five millions year. The former are
managed by trustees, but have no govern.
ment guarantee and receive and pay at one
office only. The postal banks are made
attractive by the government guarantee,
and the privilege given to the depostor of
depositing and also of Withdrawing his
funds at pleasure in any large postoffice
in the kingdom which deals in money
orders and the postal bank has the pref
erence, although it allows but two and
half per cent. annually.
There are many advantages attending
the postal banks of England, and they
would seem to be still greater in this coun-
try, under such rules and regulations as
might be wisely established for the extern
sion and general working of the system.
Whether it would be found advantageous
to the government exchequer or not, is a
question to be determined by experimental
results. IT it were used mainly for the
movement Of funds, the risk of transmits
sion would seem to be greater than any
advantage that might be derived by the
general government.

THE New York Herald gives this excel
lent advice to workingmen, at the same
time deprecating general alarm: I" Hus-
band all your resources spend not a cent
for Injuries; buy coal and bread and beef
with whatever money you have prepare
as completely as possible for winter of
great distrust and alarm" The advice
would be excellent in any ordinary state of
things at this season; but it is doably val
liable and important now, considering the
state of business throughout the country
and especially the fact that very many
manufacturing establishments have already
been closed. There is going to be a long,
cold winter, and there is great scarcity Of
work, with no prospect Of immediate re-
lief. Is it possible to say more? Is it
necessary to insist that this situation be
seriously considered
