POSTAL SAVINGS BANK.

Tbs people who believe in aGovern-
n,ent cure for every i'll. are just now
agitating the project Of transforming
the Postoffice Department into a grand
savings bank. The wide sweepof fail
ure in this class of institutions. and the
immense losses inflicted on the labor
ing classes, constitute one of the most
~aggravating causes OF discomfort
among those classes. The Govern
ment is expected 10 take the place of
the savings banks by providing bonds
at a low rate of interest redeemable on
demand, and the Posimasters through
out the country are to he the medium
through whom such investments are
to be made. The amount of deposits
in this country is estimated by relia-
BILE commercial authority as high as
81, SOC, 600, 900. or three fourths of the
national debt. There are about $780,
600. 600 in six per cent. securities, which
the Government can thus replace with
bonds at less than four per cent. thus
saving over SIG, 600, 900 per annum in
interest.
