SOLID BANKING INSTITUTIONS,
The Financial storm Was Wsa,he red Ia
Manner That Challenge General
Admiration Growth OF Trade.

The banking history of Seattle has been
entirely devoid Of sensational feature. the
only remarkable thing being a clear rec
ora or conservative strength and unin-
terrupted prosperity. The development of
the city's commercial interests has been
In large measure aided by the steadiness
the wise forethought and the prudent lib
crafty OF her financiers. Prior 10 1870
there was nc need for banking institu-
tons Laundering was the only Indus
Try. the principal market being California.
and there also being conducted the ex-
change with foreign countries AS the
country settled up and other industries
We're started the need of a nearer point
Ior the exchange of products for sup
plies and money was felt and Seattle
early became a commercial center. The
first bank was founded on June l6, 1870,
by Mr.. David Phillips and Dexter Hor-
ton. At the death of Mr.. Phillips in

ly to legitimate enterprises in these lines.
The vast speculative development and
building operations Of the boom period
prior to and following the great fire. were
conducted by Eastern and California loan
companies and SPECTATORS. who invested
large amounts Of capital in this region
through local agents.
The manner in which the banks Of Sc
attic weathered the financial storm has
challenged the attention and admiration
OF the whole country. AT the first sign
OF disturbance the associated banks re
solved that they would act as a unit and
that they would extend their joint as
sistance to any of their number which
needed and deserved It, In this way
the united assets of the banks were placed
behind each of their number. This
action at once inspired public confidence.
At the same time the merchants and
other depoSitorS in the banks without
any concerted action but by tacit agree
ment determined with the weil-known
Seattle loyalty and public spirit that
they would stand by their financial in
stitutions The result of these measures
is we'll known TO the financial world.
There We're not a trace of a run on any
bank. not a single national or COM

by local applications. as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness and thyt is by conStitu-

sons who now deposit in saving banks
would become free and ready pur-
chasers of these bonds, which, besides
being positive security for the deposit
would at once and at all times be avail
oble for use. The bond could be con-,
verted into money at a moments notice,
indeed that might not be necessary
at all for they would readily pass for

There are O seventeen hundred
million dollars in the various savings
banks of the country. These banks are
corporate organizations; they have Of
6cers, employees and servants, Of all
descriptions. The business requires
constant supervision and care and is
run at an expense to the depositor. The
most careful management is liable to
mistakes in making investments; the
money is often lost or impaired from
causes which no one can fOrsee or con-
troll. Why should not the government
become the general savings bank for
the people? Why should it not have
the whole of this seventeen hundred
million dollars, pay the interest on it
to our wv people and thus become in
dependent of all foreign bankers syndi-
Gates and capitalists? Why not? Will
MIR. Cleveland and the Democratic
party answer? Take up the 300 and
odd millions of greenbacks and treas.
ury notes, which being payable on de-
mand in coin constitute a dangerous ell
ement in the financial operations of the
country, wipe out all the floating debt:
put these bonds in the hands of the peo-
pie, who will only be too glad to get
hold of them and relieve all the money
troubles Of the country.
There is nothing new or startling IN
these suggestions. We do not claim
the merit OF originality for they have
often before been stated. We only re.
state them now for the purpose of urg-
ing the adoption OF a tinandiol scheme
