The agitation in favor of the postal
savings bank system is bringing many
! men to declare themselves in favor of
| Its adoption. England is supposed to
have the model service Of this kind,
| and review of the work of the sys-
| tenn gives the following: During the
past ten years the growth of the postal
| savings bank system in Great Britain
| has been remarkably rapid. In 1886
| there were 6,562,S95 depositors in the
various postal banks Of the kingdom.
In 1896 this number had climbed as
high as IL 1884, 977. In 1886 the value Of
the postal deposits for the year aggre-
gated $50, O00,0 900; in 1896 they aggre-
gated $165,000,000. While the success
of the system has been more pro-
nounced in Great Britain than else
where, 1t has been in some measure
successful wherever it has been adopt
ed Whether or not our national law
makers decide to give the system a
| trial at the approaching session Of con-
| gress, it Is likely that at some time in
| the near future the United States will
| follow the example of Europe in de-
| vising some means for accommodating
| its humble depositors
| The trades union congress of England
| will endeavor to have passed Bill
| for the abolition of child labor under
the age Of fifteen, and Of all night work
for those less than eighteen years of
age.
