THE. SAFEST BANK.

Give Us the Guaranty of the Whole People
Collectivcly Issued to Individual Depos-
itora.
Amid the crash of failing banks AMI
tumbling banking concerns of doubtful
character, a contemporary calls atten-
tion to the fact that the suspension CT /
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
depositors every dollar and the stock.
holders are the only ones who will lose
anything. II these banks pay their
depositors it will simply show that this
failures were not so bad as they might
have 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 as long as men are
incompetent, reckless or dishonest.
During the recent stupcndous failures
in Australia, when panic seized upon ,
every heart, the government stepped
in and avcrted universal ruin, per-
haps, by absorbing all the private saw
ings banks, and thus assuring the peo-'
pie that their money was safe. We
mast come to this, sooner or later, in
the United States. The postal savings
bank IL our manifest destiny" 1t is
the only absolutely safe system Of de-
posits, and its adoption, would not only
establish confidence and thus tend to
prevent financial panics to a large ex-
tent, but would foster and cncoyrage.
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-
bic until the nation fails.s Let us have
the United States postal savings bank
at the earliest possible moments that
the hard-earned savings of the COM
mon people may be protected from the
defaulter, the speculator.. and aishon-
esty and iricompetency In. general
The failure of savings bank isa 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 lnxtries 10 be prepared for the in
evitable rainy day''-it robs these Of
ehsif '.rainy day savings. and gives
them to reckless and dishonest men
who perhaps f1cver earned dollar by
hard work and self-dcnial in their lives.
One savings bank failure will destroy
the work of years in promoting econo-
my and saving among the people. 1t
fosters the spirit Of ''eat, drink and be
merry, for Tomorrow we die" II is
the solemn duty of every government.
u sacredly protect the savings of the
people. and nothing will more effectu-
ally contribute 70 their prosperity, and
consequently to the material prosperi-'
ty OF the nation.-Ohio Farmer. = o
It must not lie forgotten that either
the postal savings banks must loan
their deposits, or else there must he
from eight to ten times as much money
in circulation as now, SO that business
may be transacted on a literal cash
basis The more than two billions OF
savings bank deposits represent not
more than one-eighth that an'ount N
actual money. - s1~iR p

CHICAGO, Aug. The big deals in
pork and lard. which have held the
price of those commodities at iaordi-
nately high figures for months, have
collapsed, accompanied by the an
nouncement of the failure Of six promi-
nent houses concerned in them-J G.
Steever, E. W. Bailey, A. C. Helmholtz,
Wright & Haughey, J. Cudahy and the
North American Packing Co. -r.-.u
The price of September pork dropped
in few moments almost 80 a barrel
1t was the most sensational decline
ever recorded on the board of trade.ss'
There has been manipulation OF
some sort in the pork market continu-
ously for almost year, The corner
which was run by Wright and Cudahy
last fall was such q phenomenal
success and made such enormous profits
to the bulls that th9 temptation to re-
peat the deal could not be 1esisted.
The manipulation Asas carried through
the spring and finally copcentrated in
the September option. The people in
control figured on small summer sup
ply of hogs and did not expect to have
to carry their deal against adverse. in
huences of all sorts. But the money
troubles have come up and the summer
supply of hogs has been larger than
anybody expected, and the rnanipulat-
ors found themselves carrying an enor-
nous dead weight, with everything
against them. - -. Il

failed have exceeded 100, 600 barrels. =.
/ There was heavy selling of short ribs
as well as of pork and prices declined a
dollar per hundred pounds in a few mo-
ments. A-i ''.
After the excitement in pork was
over and the market began to quiet
down and to look serene, a. series OF
thunder claps fairly shook the, board

American Packing & Provision Co.,
one of the great packing firms, Of
Jack Cudahy. the heavy packer and
daring operator in hog products. and
of Wright & Haughey, heavy receiv-
ers and shippers of grain, were an
nounced, creating the utmost conster-
nation. Prices began sto tumble all
over the floor of the exchange 4 Land,
which had been supported all morning
at $500, dropped off to 90. 10, then to
50, then to 81, without a trade, and
very quickly was down to SOFA drop Of
So. IS per hundred pounds, or $3.50 per

excitement Ribs dropped rapidly,

PROTECTING THE FORESTS.

The importance, even urgent nececessi'y'
Of protecting our forest growth is at leng'h
forcing itself upon the attention Of Congress
Last week the Public Lands Committee
heard evidence in support Of the Mchae DILL
measure intended 10 regulate and restrict
the cutting OF timber on public lands. The
United States still owns q great deal oil
forest clad mountain slope land, and 1t ought
to preserve the forests upon it. The evils
Of stripping such land Of its natural protec'
ton can hardly be exaggerated. There can
be no doubt of this fact In the minds OF those
who will inform themselves OF the result oil
wholesale forest cleaning in Europe and
Asia. The evil there is permanent, but was
done in ignorance. II would be inexcusa'
bly, criminal negligence to repea. this desc
htion here.
The destruction of forests on ground level
or but slightly inclined has important phys
ical consequences, but when the ground IS
left and put TO other uses the evil wrongnt
NAV be compensated by even greater bene'
fits 10 the human race. But the destruction
of protecting forests on steep hillsides anu
mountain slopes is always attended by tue
washing, moreor less rapid, Of the surface soil
into the valleys. This experience we gather
in our immediate country. This washing
may be slow enough to permit the starting
of second growth Of trees before the humus
is gone. But there is limit to this power
of recuperation, and il this forest destruction
ia persisted 10 we will soon have the condi'
tons which obtain in the south OF France
and in parts of Italy, where the demand for
timber has in recent years stripped tue once
green mountain sides until now those same
once verdure clad slopes are bare aud naked
rocks.
We need to guard our forests for the nobler
purpose of preserving the sources OF our
streams, checking their tendency to over
dow and cause destruction, Of maintaining
the sources of our springs aud wells, the
beauty of our mountain scenery and the
well. being and comfort Of future genera
tons.
