An Analysis of Imitation.

A scrutiny of the aye and nay list on Mr..
Wilson's imitation resolution list shows some
interesting facts as to the geographical dis
tribution of the indationists. New England
furnished none three from New York
Merriam, Sessions and Perry,-and two from
New disqualification and Dobins. Penn
sylvania contributed long list who voted
under the lead of Kelley. These were Biery,
killinger, Shoemaker, Strawbridge, Packer,
Cessna, Curtis, Richmond, Taylor, Negley,
Todd and Albright. Ohio was pretty evenly
divided, eleven of her twenty members voting
aye. West of Ohio negative votes were the
exception and affirmation the rule. Indiana
was all for initiation. Four Illinois members
voted no, following the lead of Burchard.
Three out of the nine Iowa members also
voted against the resolution. The South and
Southwest, with but lew exceptions, were all
for initiation. OF the members of the ways
and means committee, Dawes, Burchard,
Roberts. kasson, Waldron, Foster and Beck
no; Kelley, Sheldon and Niblack, aye; and
Wood was absent. The banking and currency
committee voted as follows For the resolu-
tons, Merriam, Hunter and IIubbeli against,
Maynard, llawley. Phelps, Randall, Mitchell
and Durham; not voting, Farwell and Niles.
That the thirty-seven majority obtained by
the iniationists can be called on to pass bill
providing specific plan for increasing the
currency, is very doubtful. The affirmative
vote was made up of those who favor more
greenbacks, those who want more national
bank circulation and the 60 bondmen. 1t
is discordant majority, that cannot be ex-
pected to harmonic on any practice meas.

of the property, the buildings and the nsur-
deposits are loaned to counties, cities, towns
and corporations, and on collaterals which
are taken at less than their market value.
1t is recommended that law be passed,
giving relief to banks and protecting them
against tickle and fuctuating depositors, that
no savings bank shall declare dividend of
more than $1,000 to any one depostor; and
also the enactment of a law requiring, in GER
tain cases, sixty days previous notice of with
drawal of deposits. The average rate of in
terest charged on loans has been a fraction
less than eight per cent Some change has
been made in the investments the past year.
The amount CT United States bonds, railroad
bonds and stocks, less; State of Maine, other
State, county and municipal bonds, bank and
miscellaneous stocks, and real estate, more.
Twenty three of the banks have loaned, in all,
on names alone, $3.50, 828.74. The larger
portion of this sum has been loaned since the
passage of the statute of 1869, prohibiting
loans on security of names alone. In few
instances banks have made loans to their
trustees. The Examiner suggests that the
law be so made that one-half, at least, of the
investments hereafter made by savings banks
shall be made in government securities, bonds,
stocks and securities in and of our own State,
three-fourths at least in securities within New
England, and not exceeding one-fourth out Of
New England, prohibiting investments in or
loans on bonds and stocks of railroads out Of
New England. No losses of any importance
have arisen from investments or loans in any
bank, unless it may be in some Of the invest
ments OF railroad bonds and stocks, the larger
portion of which is on bonds and stocks Of
