BRYAN'S VITALITY

South Bend, Ind. where Mr. Bryan

demonstrations whatever along the line.

WINGED that the trnCtS of the Chicago
platform were after all the trucst for

probation which every public speaker
can not fail TO discern in the eyes of Il

Nothing remains for a %defrauded de-
positor after a bank fails save the
honesty of the banker"
Bankers have never shown them
selves to be any more honest than
other people, statistics show that about
one-fifth of the banks chartered in the
United States, including national
banks, sooner or later go to the wall:
statistics also prove that banks that
fail seldom pay to exceed 10 per cent.
on their liabilities.
II a poor man receives money on
trust and fails to account for it at
proper time, the law calls it's embezzle-
ment and railroads him to the peniten-
tiary forthwith.
IT a banker receives money on trust
and fails to account for it, it is called
bank SUSPENSION" and this is the first
instance on record where it has been
regarded as a criminal offense, and
then only because the bank received a
fair-sized deposit just before closing it's
doors.
Of what use is it to coin all the gold
and silver in the world if it is to be
turned over to bankers without an
equivalent?
That government which fails to pro-
vide a safe place of deposit for the peo-
pies money other than those depend
ent purely on the integrity of the
banker" is in itself a failure.
The monetary Performers may howl
all they please about all other phases Of
the money question, but their bowling
will amount to little until they pull off
their kid gloves and go to work in
earnest to take the kinks out of the
banking business.
Make the bankers give bonds to COW
er deposits or shut up shop.
The people running their own bank
ing business, through country and
township treasurers, would be a good
way, too, to afford the relief demanded.
BY all means, gentlemen reformers,
if you don't do another thing toward
settling the money question, revise the
banking business, and at least make it
as honest and as fair dealing with it's
creditors as other kinds of business.
