POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS.

There is quite an agitation in favor
of postal savings banks. There are
two aspects to the question, the polit-
icaI and the business. Politically con-
sidered, they are Objectionable. because
they make Of the government a ban
ller, and in a degree postal savings
banks would be form of paternalism,
a thing always to be avoided.
Now as to the business proposition.
If these banks are established the gov
eminent will have to pay interest on
deposits. But to what use will it put
the money so as to save itself harmless
on the interest it would have to pay?
1t could not pay any higher rate of
! interest under any circumstances than
it could borrow in the open market for.
IF the government today so desired it
could borrow any amount, hundreds of
millions, at a rate of interest not to
! exceed 215 per cent. Supposing that
hundreds of millions were placed in
postal savings banks, to what use
could the government put the money?
1t could not put it into bonds, for few
depositors would ever have enough
money to buy a bond. OF course if
there are to be perpetual deficits it is
an easy matter to see what use the
government could put the money to.
! But what of depositors? They would
want to get the highest market rate
for their money, and the savings banks
offer per cent to 2 per cent more than
the government could possibly pay. OF
course considerable savings might be
diverted to postal savings banks be-
cause Of the greater security some
would think they offered. Even in this
case the savings banks would continue
to receive the most of the deposits.
If postal banks were established it is
hardly possible that the government
would make the unit of deposits on
which interest would be paid less than
81, the minimum sum on which savings
banks pay interest. Then the expense
Of keeping the accounts would be some
! thing enormous, and would entail a
great expense on the government.
| If the government should go into the
! savings bank business it should go
into it on business and banking prin-
ciples, and not on those of philan-
! thropy and paternalism. There is one
ground on which postal savings banks
could be justified very easily, and that
is the old familiar ground Of protection
and bounties. If it is right to tax the
people for the benefit of one class it is
right to tax them for all classes. and
there is no great difference in prin-
ciple in taxing for the purposes of pro-
lection and bounties and taxing for the
purpose Of paying interest to depositors
in postal savings banks.

DINGLEY ON THE SILVER ISSUE.

1t is early to discuss just what the
issue or issues in the congressional
elections of 1898 will be, but the indi
cations become palmer and palmer
each day that the great issue next year
will be the same as the great issue of
last year. This is admitted by so keen
an observer of political events as the
Lewiston, Me-, Journal, Representative
Dingley's organ. The Journal says
editorially:
Much as every true friend of Ameri-
can interests may deprecate it, it may
now be regarded as settled that the
congressional campaign OF next year
must be fought out On the lines Of 1896.
When a state like Kentucky turns its
back on Carlisle to follow Bryan, and
a state like Nebraska, which sees be-
fore its eyes, in every market, the ref
utation Of the Bryan theory that silver
and wheat are linked together by the
Almighty, still persists in bowling down
to the silver idol, it is useless for
sound money men to lose sight of the
certainty that the 16 to l silver fallacy
is only scorched-not burned. Business
men may as well prepare to make this
issue next year, when we hope it will
be settled forever.
That is the most important admission
that has been made by any advocate of
the gold standard. Consider who it is
that makes it. 1t is Nelson Dingley
jr., author of the present tariff law
the law that was to bring absolute
prosperity, and which, it was said,
would wipe out the last vestige of the
silver sentiment The Importance of
the admission cannot be overestimated.
And the gold press has been declaring
that the recent elections had no i'm
portant bearing so far as the silver
question is concerned. Not so thinks
Mr.. Dingley. 1t is his deliberate opin-
ion that they determine the issue for
1898, and he cites the result in Ken
lucky and Nebraska.
What Mr.. Dingley says (the article
is presumably bis) means even more
than appears on its face. Having ac-
knowledged that silver will be the issue
next year, it means that there is no
hope for currency legislation at the
approaching session of congress, as
there certainly is none, no matter
what communications the president
| may make in his message. Mr.. Ding
ley did not look beyond next year, at
least he made no mention of time
beyond that, but he could have supple
mented his comments by saying that
| the question of free silver would be
the great issue in 1900. Having shown
such vitality and strength the year
following its defeat, it will show even
greater vitality and strength in the
second year following its defeat.
And what becomes of the boast that
the silver question was settled once
and for all on November 8, 1896? The
great issue of 1896 was the free and
Independent coinage Of silver at the
ratio Of 16 to 1; the great issue of 1898
will be the free and independent coin
age Of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1;
and in 1900 it will still be the same.

SCENES IN THE RE1oHsRATH.

The present Austrian reichsrath will
be entitled to go down in history as
the rump reichsrath. 1t is doubtful if
the world ever witnessed SO disgraceful
a scene in any deliberative assembly as
that witnessed in the lower house of
the Austrian reichsrath Wednesday
last. 1t seemed as though pandemonium
had broken loose. There have been
disgraceful scenes in some of our state
legislatures and in the French cham
Der of deputies, but nothing that could
approach those enacted in Vienna. The
scrimmages on the floor were worse
than any that ever took place on base
ball or football field. The members be-
haved more like Kilkenny cats than
anything else.
And what was it all about? 1t was
all about that old question of perpetual
discard in Austria Hungary he official
language. The Czechs objected to hav-
ing the German language made co-or-
dinate with the Czech in Bohemia. How
important this question of language is
will be realized when it is remembered
that the law upon the general rights of
citizens provides that:
"All the races of the state are equal
before the law. and each one has an
inviolable right to the preservation of
it's nationality and it's language. The
equality OF rights of all the common
languages IS recognized by the state
in the school, in functions, and in pub
lie life
Bearing this in mind, and the fact
that in Austria the German language
predominates, and one has a key to the
whole situation. In fact. the Czechs
and the other peoples or races compos-
ing the conglomerate known as Aus
tria-H Hungary, are fearful that the Ger
man language viii crowd their own out.
1t is the language with which they
communicate with the outside world, by
which they become a part of it. in fact,
while the others are the languages of
nothing or no one but themselves. Lin
guistically, they fear annihilation from
the German.
But could anything justify such
scenes as were enacted in the lower
house of the reichsrath? Had they &C
CURED under a popular government,
how the press of Europe would have
mora!ized over the failure of popular
government. They certainly are such
as to make one doubt of the success
of the parliamentary government in
Austria-Hung gary.

FORECASTS OF TIE MESSAGE.

If forecasts of what the president
will say in his message are worth any
thing, then it seems that it viii deal
principally with the Cuban and cur
rency questions, and these are the ques-
tons in which the country is most in
terested at present. On the Cuban
question it is said that the message
viii be conservative, that is to say, the
president will make no recommends
tons for Intervention or the recogni-
ton of the independence of the Gu
bans, but viii give Marshal Blanco an
opportunity to carry out what is
termed the new or Cancellation policy.
If the message is conservative on the
Cuban question. it is more than likely
to cause congress to take some action
looking to the recognition of Cuban
independence, though Speaker Reed
may be able to control the house.
Any currency recommendations the
president may make will hardly have
any chance Of favorable action, for
While the house would doubtless be in
accord with whatever the president
might desire, it is quite certain that
the senate would not be. Currency
recommendations may lead to pro
longed debate on the currency question.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1897-11-26

but they will not result in anything
more.
Whether or no the president will have
any recommendations to make on the
question Of revenue no one seems to
have any idea; it is hardly likely that
he will
There viii be the question of the an
neXation of Hawaii This may lead to
long debate, but the senate will most
probably favor annexation, for already
a majority of the senators seem de-
cidedly favorable to it.
Altogether the session promises to be
a very interesting one, and in all like
! lihood it Will be a long one, but as to
/ this there is nothing certain. There
win, if the signs do not fail, be plenty
of opportunity for the president to
show of what metal he is made, and
whether he is cast in the stern or plant
mold.

Mrs. Lease visited the New York
horse show, and here, in part, is her
opinion of it, ''The horse show is a
blending of masculine egotism, femi-
nine vanity and equine intelligence
that results in a burlesque. It is, how
ever, a legitimate amusement, affording
unrivaled opportunities for display,
costly, but not as demoralizing as the
ostentatious vulgarity of a Bradley
Martin ball or a Seely dinner. 3
The horse show is an outlet for costly
expenditure on the part of a vitiated
society that seeks to exhibit itself I'M
der the thin disguise of exhibiting its
horses. And on this ground we may ex-
pect the press and the pulpit to use
the society show, alias horse show, as a
Sunday text"

Times Change and We With Them.

I1meS Change and We With Them.
Nashville Banner: Two gentlemen were
conversng in the union depot. They had
met by chance after separation of many
years. and were talking over the scenes
and happenings of the long ago, occas-
ionally bursting into laughter at the re-
call of some happy memory and anon
relapsing into the quietude of sadness
when the condition was reversed. One
was a citizen of Nashville, and the other
had been in the years agone
Those were happy days, Henry said
the first. when we used to hunt rabbits
all through the upper part Of Edgeriield. ,"
Yes, said the other, but things have
changed greatly since then. Why. / have
been here nearly week and l have
scarcely met a soul [ knew in those
days"
As the conversation between the two
progressed an old colored man standing
near, from appearance some 60 or 70 years
of age, was giving the closest attention,
and eagerly drinking in every word, and
when the last noted remark was made
he stepped timidly forward and said as he
raised his hat with that courteous defer
ence OF manner native to the old-time
southern darkey.
"'Scuse me- boss, but does yer lib in
Nashville?"
We'll, l heerd yu speakin' O not know
in nobody here now, an [ couldn't hep
speakin', cause it made me think bout
myself.
well, yu see, boss, L useter lib here.

lonesome. an now I'm goin' back ter de
plantation ag'in.'
And as the old man walked slowly away,
wiping away the fast gathering tears
with his coatseeve the two gentlemen
were forced to use their handkerchiefs.
This was vivid echo of their own eX-
perience.
