firm the latter opinion.
The board Of charities exOnsrated DE-.
Eastman and the asylum officials. OF
course that was to bs expected. IG such
conditions had existed under the prsvi.
Gus administration the officers would
have been sent to the psnitentiary. OF
course IL everything in connection with
this matter was straight there would

her consent to the burial Of his body in
the asylum cemetery. Rsknew Of course
that 1t was absolutely untrue when he
said that il would cost more money 10
ship his body now than In cold weather.
He knew that Mrs. Msuer had right to
know the truth in regard to her hus-
bands death, and the truth should have
been told to her in the first place. II
would seem to be other than efficient
management for patient in an asylum
during seven short weeks stay to have
received two black eyes, q broken EOse,
and the life crushed out Of him. It
would seem chat the board Of charities
and state administration which would
allow such q condition to exist without
CensREe or comment should receive the
condemnation Of the loyal, sympathetic,

BOtkin at St. John.

EDITOR ADVoCATE:-Pleas0 allow US a
few lines Of your paper to tell the people
the good words spoken by Rev. ]. D.
Botkin at this place on July 30.
Nature did her part by giving US q
fair day, and the people their part by
coming in from every part Of the county.
By the hour Of commencement the
City hall was filed and sll eyes were
eagerly watching for the speaker, who
was introduced at 2 o'clock by E. J.
WestgRte, who assured the audience in
his Introductory remarks that the,speech
would be non.psrtissn = throughout. All
ministers present we're invited upon the
stage and each one readily responded,
being four in number. The meeting
opened with prayer by Rev. Hooken-
smith, probate Judge. The Stafford
County Normal Glee club furnished ap
pEopEiRte music FOR the occasion.
The subject was "The Problem OF the
Unemployed" and was scientifically dis
cussed from Christian Rnj moral stand
point, and the manner in which it was
received was evidenced by the rRpt at
tentiOn Of every one present. Many
earnest faces and fearful eyes were seen
throughout the audience. To say that
Rev. BOtkin is success in his new field
Of labor is putting it mildly. He is the
right man in the right place. His Rdvo-
oaOy OF the brotherhood Of man as well
as the fstherhood Of God should receive
the cordial support Of all libertyloVing
people. His speech was we'll taken By
all present regardless Of their religious
or political views. Respectfully,
e. r. BENEFIEL.

this exposure, TO step forward and give
three cheers FOR such q scheme Of spoil
alton and robbery, instead Of turning
their backs upon it and Gslking 10 avoid
and escape itP
But lot US look q little into the the.
ory, philosophy and purposes intended
to be subservsd by the national bank
system. Il was profssssdly devised and
established for the purpose OF furnish
ing the nation with an abundant cur
rsnCY with which to do business; in the
language Of the time, to fAOili-
tate trade, commerce and bust
ness generally. How has it dis
charged that duty and fulfilled that pur-
poseP Let the late Senator Plumb, in
one Of his speeches on the subject Of
the finances, answer: SIT ls one OF the
chief features Of the national banking
system that the thanks organized under
it required to keep constantly on hand
for the protection of their customers q
certain proportion OF their deposits. In
redemption cities it 10 rs per cont; in all
other places, 15 per cent. II may be
more, but cannot be less, without bring
ing upon the bank the risk OF losing its
charter; 90 that they undoubtedly and
faithfully comply with the law. The
average per cent. OF reserve TO deposits,
taking the country through, is probably
not less than 20 per cent. and the pri.
VAte and state banks keSp Q reserve as
large in proportion 90 Che national banks
do. Now, the total deposits being 1000
millions Of dollars, it follows that not
less than 800 millions Of dollaEs are con-
stantly kept on hand in the shape Of re.
serve funds, not to be used except In
case Of the greatest emergency, and then
to be replaced and made good immsdi
atsly. The hank that would dsviata
from this rule would bring itself into
trouble" And ss the bank circulation al
that time amounted to 1913 million dol
lars, as stated by Mr.. Plumb, while they
had boarded up 8 full 800 millions, the
reader can soc lhow the national banks
were furnishing q currency TO facilitate
commerce and trade. In October, 1894
the banks had nearly 5000 millions on
deposit, 20 per cent. Of which would bG
about 1000 millions that are impsrS'
lively required to have on hand, while
their circulation out was only about 20C
millions; so that while the Syatem was
professedly devised and intended to fur.
nlsh q currency for the country, Il hRl
actually served the purpose OF boarding
A beautiful system Of currency for q
live, active and enterprising people.
And remember that this regulation ia
part and parcel Of the organized system
which has been 20 sulogizsd and be-
spsttsrsd with praise by the politicians
and party for q quarter Of century,
Senator Voorhees, says OF II, after the
panic and ruin Of 1893, which It helped
to bring about; "In their vaults to-day
