POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS.


The success and popularity OF postal
savings banks in Great Britain are
weighty considerations in favor OF the
establishment of these institutions In
this country. The British banks re-
ceivs deposits a. small al one shilling
and pay two and half per cent. inter-
est. Every deposit begins to draw IN
terest at the first of the month after 1t u
made and accrued interest il added at the
end of the year. About two years ago the
government tried the experiment OF re-
ceiving a. a shilling deposit twelve
penny postage stamps stuck on slip OF
paper. This provision met widely
felt want, and has become one OF the
most popular and useful features of the
system. Another convenient arrange
rnsnt is that which enables a person
who has deposited money in ono bank
to draw from any bank in the United
Kingdom. The grsa popularity :loi
these institutions 10 shown by the fact
that, though they have been in opera.
ton only twenty years. the number oil
banks has increased to six thousand
while the annual deposits have risen to
nearIyDthres and half millions in mum
Der and fifty million dollars in amount
The number Of open accounts averages
about two millions yearly and the az
gregate amount ON deposit exceeds
hundred and sixty million dollars
While the main purpose Of postal saw
ings banks is to encourage thrift and
economy among the people by sffordinp
them the most convenient and secure
means for saving their earnings, the man
agemsnt Of tho banks has been money
gain to the British government. Ac-
oording to a late report of tho Post
master General the amount Of surplus
interest arising from investments and
paid into the exchequer as net gain
during the three years ending with 1879
was more than one and three-guarter
million dollars, while the Same authori-
ty reports that since their establish
ment the government has realized from
tho banks net profit OF more than six
million dollars.
