don't you suppose bank deposits will in
crease also? II bank deposits increase,

try and prosperity? How are you going
to have money to act as security for de-
positors2 Yet our opponents in charge Of
the financial system In the last two years
have decreased the circulating medium
more than $150,00O000. Instead of giving

more than $100,000,000 in two years. That
means there must be less prosperity, less
bank deposits or else that the reserve
fund will not be sufficient to keep pace
with the deposits. Are you going to fur
nish enough money to make banking
safe? How are you going to decrease your
circulation and make banking secure?
Are you going to lessen the deposits of
the people? These questions must be met,
and our opponents are not proposing any
increase in the volume of the money Of
this country. blu you good morning."
