The Salad in Proyerb.

There is an old Spanish proverb which
says: "To make a perfect salad there
should be a spendthrift for oil, miser
for vinegar, a wise man for salt and q
madcap to stir the ingredients up and
mix them we'll together" With these
suggestions well in mind success should

Some Striking Figures.
MOOrhead Daily News.

Moorhead Daily News.
The last report of the secretary of
the treasury shows that there are
1856 national banks in operation
whose resources on October 2, 1894, are
given at $50, Alb, ,922, ,O55.27. Their loans
and discounts aggregated S2,007, 1922
1870, and they had cash on hand
amounting to 1922, 42S, 1872 They
owed depositors SLIPS, ,41S,S1912. Any
one who will study these figures in
connection with the volume of money
said to be in existence in the United
States, outside of the treasury, which
is given in the same official report as
ST ,672, ,093, 422, must arrive at the con-
clusion, if his thought runs along
that line, that the whole gamut Of
banks is insolvent. If demand was
made they could pay only % per cent
Of the deposits, and if their securities
were sa'able there isn't money enough
in the United States to pay for them.
People talk about the large amount
of money there is in the banks. 1t is
all nonsense. 1t is not there, but it is
represented very largely by securities
of doubtful market value. There is
nothing behind them but mems
names, men once accounted wealthy,
but now poor, because their property
has shrunk in value. Bankers claim
that the deposits in all the banks in
the United States amount to about
$4,000, 100000 AS this sum is twice
the amount of all the money of every
kind in the coin try within and out
side the treasury, it follows that all
the banks are in reality insolvent, as
they could not pay what they owe.
How is this excess of deposits ae-
counted fore Isn'tit by misleading

actual money on deposit, and this one
case is multiplied by hundreds. Thus
in the bookkeeping of the banks the
same money is counted several times
over, and the deposits amount to only
a per cent of the amount the reports
claim.

[From the Coming Nation.

You should get Henry Clew's finan-
cial review of Feb. Sd, and put it in
your note book. II you know how tc
use it. it will do lots of good. Henry
is the Gold-bug apostle par excellence.
1t is too long for me to quote entire.
but here is sentence l want you to
read:
THE business interests of the coun-
try have gone down to a gold basis. 1t
is so with manufactured goods of
every description. 1t is so with iron,
steel, cotton, grain and securities"
"The business interests Of the coun-
try have "gone down." see? "to a
gold basis" see? Now can you under
stand why merchants, traders, ignor-
ant little bankers etc.. are failing?
Now you know why the price of
grain and cotton" are below cost Of
production? He says it is the ''gold
basis" he advocates that reduces the
price. In another place he says 1.-THE
prices are forced down to buy them
cheaply." Now you have been
taught that the law cannot make
the prices of wheat and cotton. He
says the gold basis caused the price to
fall, and gold basis is made by law!
Can you understand? Are you deaf,
dumb, blind and halt, that you fail to
comprehend? In the same review he
says If silver basis we're foisted on
the country people would cease to,
horde money and prices would go up.
DO you understand that, you kickers
about 80 cent wheat and 4 cent cot
ton? Don't you know free coinage of
silver would have to be gotten by law,
and thatit is the law that will raise the
price of your grain? Clews admits it,
yet tells you that laws can't regulate
the price of things. One thing he
tells to blind you, the other is the in
formation to the conspirators who are
plucking you. Now 20 and vote for
the gold base parties and become a
worse serf than you are, if you want
to, but don't repeat like parrot that
laws don't regulate the price of every
thing-for it does. Wheat would
bring s. per bushel and cotton 30

good as gold, in one year if certain
financial laws were ehacted. But the
rich robbers, knowing your ignorance,

HOW THEY HAVE WORKED IN
INDIA, FRANCE AND ENG.
LAND.
Why Should We Not Have Them
In the United States?

In Mr.. Lacey's report to the Forty
seventh Congress, urging the estab-
lishment Of postal saving banks, he
quotes as follows from the twenty
sixth report of the postmaster-gene
of the United Kingdom:
Notwithstanding the dullness of
trade and the deficiency of the
harvest that characterized the year
1879, it is satisfactory to report con-
tinued excess of deposits over with
drawalS and an increase in the bal
ance due to depOsitorS of upwards of a
million and half sterling. Most re-
markable, perhaps. is the progress
shown in Ireland, considering the
severe distress to which many parts of
that country have been subject. For
the whole of Ireland there was, in
Guiding interests. an increase in the
balance due to depositors of $457. .915,
and of this amount the eight coun-
ties chiefly affected by the distress
contributed no less than 1927 900.
The postmaster general of Great
Britain states in his last report that
the number of savingsbank deposi-
tors last year was S,10l, 120, an increase
of $50, ,495 persons. and that the total
amount of deposits for the year was
fraction under 800, 900, nearly $4,-
100000 more than the previous year.
In one day over $4,000 persons made
deposits amounting to over $6S5, 1000.
There were 924,01O new accounts
opened in 1889 and 637, ,l2S closed. The
total number OF open active accounts
at the end Of the year was 4,507 800 or
nearly 30O,OO0 more than the previous
year. The report gives interesting
data of the growth of the savings-sys-
tenn in the British provinces. In
CeylOn the system was established in
1885 and proved a boon to the poorer
population"
An interesting statement in the
Bankers Monthly for October says:
But the greatest extension Of saw
ings-bankS has been brought about by
the introduction Of the system of post
office banks. In India, as in England,
the use of the already existing ma
chinery of the postOt1ice has not only
proved OF the greatest advantage in
point Of economy of administra tion,
but has been of the utmost service in
extending the opportunity Of profit
ably exercising thrift into many parts
of the country where otherwise it
would be impossible to afford such ac-
com mmOdation without incurring
cost too great to be borne by the busi-
ness of the district. In
March, 1888, the totals of accounts
and balances in the various savings
banks were as follows:

ACCOUNTS BALANCES.


The last French report at hand is
that of 1885. which shows the amount
Of deposits to be over $53.OO0,OOO. In
Belgium the depositors at the close of
1888 had $50,00O,OCO to their credit. In
the Netherlands the deposits were up.
wards of $500, ,0OO In Sweden at the
close of 1887, the depositors SO. per cent
of whom were minors, had $766. .43O to
their credit. Comparisons Of deposits
in 1887 with those of 1884 shows an in
crease of over 100 per cent. A report
of the postmaster-general of the
Hawaii Kingdom, dated February II,
1890, shows that that country first had
postal sayings in 1886, and has now
2,641 depositors, with $9O9,6l3 on de-
posit, against S477,475 one year before.
1t would seem as though the United
States should not be the last country
to offer assistance to the masses of
her people striving to rise by thrift
and economy.
