No financial panic can disturb the confidence
of the public ia savings banks whose assets are
composed of carefully selected mortgages OF
real estate within the limitation OF our statues
of credits of municipalities and corporauonS OF
this state; OF first mortgage bonds OF railroads
which earn and pay regular cash dlvlaenus
upon their Stock and bonds OF Sncn cues as
Boston, Chicago, Cincinnati. Cleveland, Detroll
and st. Louis. which not only have high credlt
throughout this country. but whose securities
are bought and sold on the exchanges OF London
and Amsterdam
This is from the report of the Maine
bank examiner in 1886, and is quoted by
the Evening Express as tending to justi-
fly the savings bank law now pending in
the legislature. Yet the very securities
which ale most highly recommended
here as convertible not only in this
country but also in London and Amster-
dam are Disseminated against by this
bill to the amount of one-half of one per
cent. That is to say if Maine savings
bank buys Boston or Cincinnati bond
it is to be taxed one per cent upon it. II
however Maine savings bank buys bond
of the town of Wiseasset it is to be taxed
but half of one per cent And yet the
promoters of the bill say that it will tend
to encourage savings banks to buy gilt
edged securities.

ONE TENDENCY OF THE SAVINGS
BANK BILL.

In the course of a discussion of the
savings bank bill now before the legisla-
ture the PRESS has shown that neither
of the two principal benefits claimed
by it's friends is likely to follow. We
have shown that safety and convertible
bility, the two first essentiala of saving
bank investment, would not be promoted
by it, inasmuch as experience has shown
that there are bad securities in Maine as
well as good ones, and that without the
temptation which this bill affords
Maine savings banks have frequently
suffered loss from investments in this
state. We have pointed out that the
only savings bank which has failed in
this state for many years had 81 invested
in and loaned upon Maine securities to
one loaned upon or invested in the Sc.
curities of other states. We have shown
also that such policy as is proposed in
the pendingIbill would not help Maine,
because all the home enterprises which
the savings banks could assist without
violating their moral obligations to de
positors are such as need no assistance
We want now to call attention to dan
gerous tendency of this bill.
Under the construction put upon the
National banking law by the comptroller
of the currency any National bank is per-
mitted to establish savings bank de-
partment. The functions of the savings
bank departments are precisely like
those of our State savings bank-that IS
they receive deposits and in
vest them for the depositors. But
while they may exercise all the powers
of state savings banks, they are under
none of the restrictions which appertain
to these institutions. The investments and
loans of our savings banks are restricted
both in their character andtheir locality.
The trustees are compelled by law to
keep and maintain reserve fund. If
the managers transgress the law they are
liable to be enjoined by the courts, and
their charter may be taken away from
them. Twice a year these banks are
examined by an officer of the State, and
all their investments and loans exposed
to public view in the newspapers. The
savings departments of National banks
are under none of these restrictions.
They may invest in almost any
kind of security and in any
amount that they see fit. They are
not confined to Maine, or New
England, or any part of the country.
They may buy the bonds or stock of any
railroad, no matter whether it is divi-
dend paying or not. They may invest in
the bonds or stock of any corporation
under the sun without restriction of law
The State has no supervision over them
in the least degree. The character of
their investments and loans is never
made known to the public. And the tax

able to convict them Of smuggling.
1t will be remembered that the steam
schooner Louis Olsen failed to secure her
clearance papers here about three months
ago. She returned last week during the
night and failed to report at the Custom
house. Her actions were so suspicious that
she was placed in charge OF a U nted States
Deputy Marshai and her officers and five
sailors were arrested. or rather detained,
awaiting investigation.
They tell a story that sounds fairylike
and unreasonable. They claim that they
started for Tillamook Bay, where the owner
has fishery. and they were unable to get
in, being in ballast and the bar being so
rough. They beat about for three months
and eventually came back to this port with
out cargo, just as they had left it.
As a consequence Collector Phelps thinks
that the craft was out on an opium and
Chinese smuggling expedition, and they ex-
pect to prove 1t.
