THE SAFEST BANK.

Give Us the Guaranty of the Whole People
Collectively Issued to Individual Depos-
itOEs.
Amid the crash OF failing banks and
tumbling banking concerns of doubtful
character, contemporary calls atten-
ton to the fact that the suspension of
the two national banks In Chicago and
one in Indianapolis, shows the strength
OF the national banking system rather
than any weakness; that they will pay
oepositors every dollar and the stock
holders are the only ones who will lose
anything. If these banks pay their
depositors it will amply show that the
failures were not so bad as they might
nave been While the government
protects the people from loss through
the issue of notes, there is no absolute
protection to depositors of national
banks, and in the nature of the case
there never can be rs long as men are
incompetent, reckless OF dishonest.
During the recent stupendoas failures
In Australia, when panic seized upon
every heart, the government stepped
In and averted universal ruin, par
haps, by absorbing all the private saw
tngs banks, and thus assuring the peo-
pie that their money was safe. We
must come to this, sooner or later, in

bank is our manifest destiny" It is
the only absolutely safe system of de-
posits. and its adoption would not Only

prevent financial panics to a large ex-
tent, but would foster and encourage
the spirit of saving, and thus promote
the material welfare of the country.
With the government itself behind
the doors of bank, failure is impossi-
BILE until the nation fails. Let us have
the United States postal savings bank
at the earliest possible moment, that
the hard-earned savings of the COM
mon people may be protected from the
defaulter, the Spectator, and dishon-
esty and ineompetency in general.
The failure of savings bank is a terri
bly, cruel thing. 1t takes the money of
the poor, the struggling, deserving,
industrious, provident poor, who deny
themselves present necessities or com
mon luxuries to be prepared for the in
evitable rainy day"-it robs these of
their rainy day" savings and gives
them to reckless and dishonest men
who perhaps never earned dollar bv
hard work and self-denial in their lives.
One savings bank failure will DESTROY
the work of years in promoting econo-
my and saving among the people. II
fosters the spirit of 'eat, drink and be
merry, Tor tomorrow we die" It is
the solemn duty of every government
to sacredly protect the savings of the
people. and nothing will more effectu-
ally contribute to their prosperity, and
consequently to the material prosperi-
ty OF the nation.-Ohio Farmer.
1t must not be forgotten that either
the postal savings banks must loan
their deposits, or else there must be
from eight to ten times as much money
in circulation as now, so that business
may be transacted on literal cash
basis. The more than two billions of
savings bank deposits represent not
more than one-eighth that amount in
actual money.

the creation of law. 1t is this hatef.
evidence of the sovereignty of the peo-
pie, when driven to self protection, that
these conspirators are now seeking to
destroy. 1t is an open secret here that
such is the case, and the experts in the
treasury department are now engaged
in collecting data for Secretary Car
Isle to base a recommendation and
formulate plan to present to congress,
whereby the entire currency of the
country may be called in, and an issue
based on the English or French plan
adopted. Waterman.
That silver will be again demone-
tized in the United States there is not
much reason to doubt; and it is per
fectly natural that the friends of the
white metal should retaliate by de-
handing the demonstration of gold.
Indeed it is not difficult to show the
Justice and reasonableness of this de-
mand. Why should one commodity, a
commodity owned almost exclusively
by the rich, be clothed with special
monetary power, while all other COM
modities are denied the privilege?
This makes of the gold owners priv
ileged class, and Thomas jefferson said.

The price of any commodity tends to
fix itself at the average cost of produc-
ton and distribution This cost is
measured by the labor power required
to produce and distribute it. Were
there no artificial or speculative means
of controlling production and distribu-
ton all commodities would find their
exchange value naturally under this
rule, and the average product of day
Of labor IN coal mine would exchange
for the average product of day of
labor in corn field, copper mine, or
a shoe factory. Value being thus fixed
by the average labor cost, no product
could be afforded at less than cost, and
its volume of production would be reg
ulated by the demand at that value.
The law Of supply and demand would
operate freely to check any over pro-
duction, and to call forth increased
production If required.
Were all the monopolies abolished
monopolies of land, money, transporta-
ton and distribution-and certificate
of useful labor performed, either in
production or in the authorized means
of distribution of the products, was the
only medium of obtaining those prod
ucts, then the rule stated at the begin
ping of this article would apply and to
each would belong the product of his
labor, measured by the average product
of all labor comparatively engaged.
Under the present system the producer
receives in exchange less than 10 per
cent of the value of his own labor, and
as the employees Of the monopolists, and
sven large part of the small monopo-
lists themselves, would be greatly ben
fitted by a natural and honest system
of exchange, it follows that we have
only to educate the masses sufficiently
to see that point, to obtain it at once
by a vote of the people in interest.
That is what is being done in all lands
and explains the growth of socialism,
for socialism is only the abolition of
monopoly and the substitution of this
natural and equitable method of proc
duction and exchange. - Twentieth

There is little doubt in the minds Of
those who have carefully watched the
course of the money owners during the
past six months that the present fnan-
cial conspiracy aims at something far
beyond the elimination of silver as a
moneyed metal. 1t seeks nothing less
than the destruction of legel tender
paper money. and to this end will bend
all its powers in the coming conflict.
Legal tender paper money has since
its introduction been the bane
of the moneyed aristocracy, be-
cause it is essentially the money
of the people, and carries on its
face legend backed up by the

Proceedings Yesterday-Pro-
lessor Andrews Lecture Last Evening.
At the Teachers Summer school yes
terday there was large attendance at all
the lectures. All were interested in the
work.and paid particular attention to the
speakers.
Professor Andrews, of Nebraska,
opened the morning session with a lee
ture on the history of our own country.
His lecture was devoted chiefly to the
discovery, with q commentary on it's
effects ON succeeding generations. DR..
E. e. White, the principal Of the school,
followed with an able lecture on the ele-
ments of psychology. Professor Alonzo
Norman, the disting uished educator
of Kansas, lectured on elementary
physics in an interesting manner.
After Professor w. 5. Edding field. who
comes from our neighboring state of Col
orado. had Iectured instructively on the
principles of arithmetic, Professor White
closed the session with an able address on
the principles of arithmetic.
Attic afternoon session Miss Winston
began the session with the lecture on the
principles Of vocal music, and was fol-
lowed by Professor Augsburg, who gave
one OF his interesting and in
structive chalk talks. Professor
Andrews began On the English
grammar course, and Miss Kenyon on
that OF physical culture. There were also
some special classes in natural science,
drawing, physical culture, music, alge-
bra and other departments.
