Atthe cabinet meeting on Friday last
it was suggested by two of the members
of the cabinet that in the event of war
it would be necessary to issue bonds,
and that this power would have to be
secured from the congress, where the
silver senators might block the way by
demanding the issue of silver bonds.
This matter was fully considered, and
on Saturday the president communi-
Gated with leading silver Republican
senator, who sent back word: "Tell
the president that the silver senators
are as patriotic as ever, and will do
nothing in such an emergency to ham,
per him. We are not only patriotic,
but we know enough of politics to know
that the people Of this country would
condemn us if we should pursue such a
course in such an emergency. It would
mean the doom of the silver cause if
we should undertake to stand in the

BETTER BANKING FACILITIES.

The New England states and New York are
fairly well supplied with savings banks. More
over the banks in those states are much safer
than the great majority of the savings institu-
tons that are to be found in ether parts of the
country. The savings banks OF the New
England states and New York are known as mn
tual savings banks, managed by trustees who
derive no profit from thir operation. In other
sections the savings institutions are almost en-
tir ly stock banks, operated for the profit OF the
stock holders and only too often to the loss of
the depositors. In the seven eastern states re-
ferred to none but the mutual banks are allowed
BY law to do a savings business. II the people
were to be limited to private savings nsttu-
tons as places of deposit, clearly every state
ought to follow the example OF New York and
New England and provide for mutual banks.
In the savings banks OF the United States,
as reported to the comptroller of the currency,
there was last year 5,o65,494 depositors, with
1927. Further, according to the comptroller
of the currency, 'nearly SO per cent OF both
number of depositors and amount OF deposits
is represented by banks i'll the New England
states and New York" These seven states
have population of approximately L 1000 900,
of one-sixth of that of the entire country, yet
the savings bands of those states hold four
6fths of the savings deposits of the country.
Two-tEfds Of the savings banks of the United
States are located ip these seven states Be
fore the entire country can be as well supplied
with savings bank facilities several thousand
new institutions must be established.
The government has it in its power to supply
this need at once by establishing the postal
savings bank system and making use of post
offices as places of deposit. Until the govern
ment does this the people will be without ade-
quate savings facilities Private enterprise will
not meet the want for places of deposit for
small savings Moreover, in the parts of the
country now especially lacking savings facili-
ties, the tendency is to establish stock savings
banks, if any at all, rather than the more APP
proved form of mutual savings banks, which
are in use in the extreme eastern states Even

What Republicans Used to Say.

In their State convention way back i'll 1873,
held at Topeka, August 2S, they said:
',rhat as we believe double coin standard of
value is preferable to a single standard, we are
in favor of placing the coinage Of gold and sill
yer on all equality, giving to neither one adj
vantage nor preference
The Republicans in their national platform
in 1888 said:
"The Republican party is in favor Of both
gold and silver as money, and condemns the
policy Of the Democratic administration in It's
efforts to denonetze silver"
In 1890 the Republicans held their State con-
venton in Topeka, Sept 3 and d, and adopted
unanimously the following money plank:
"The practical operation of the silver act
now in force, recently passed by Republican
majority, and opposed by Democratic minority,
i'll both houses of congress, is rapidly increas-
ing the value of silver, is a good step i'll the
right direction, but we, the Republicans OF
Kansas, demand the free coinage of silver,
measure strongly opposed and vigorously de-
nounced by the late Democratic administration
led by ex-President Grover Cleveland"
Later, on the 2Sth of January, 1891, the
Kansas state senate composed of Republicans,
with the exception of three members, and con-
tanning the brightest men in the state i'll the
party, passed the following resolution with but
three dissenting votes:
''WHEREAs, the recent action of the United
States in promptly passing the free coinage OF
silver bill, is move in the direction of res
toration of prices and prosperity to the agricul-
tural industry; therefore be it
Resolved, That the senate of the state of
Kansas urge upon the national house of repre-
sentatives prompt concurrence in the passage of
the silver BILL that this body, representing the
Republicans of Kansas, respectfully, but ear
nestly, request our delegation i'll congress to in
sist, in the interest of the country and the Re-
publican party in the West, upon The passage
of the bill and its approval by the Republican
executive, as being in line with Republican
pledges "
In 1892, the national platform said:
''T'he American people from tradition and i'll
terest, favor bimetallism and the Republican
party favors the use of both gold and silver as
standard money"
But Hanna bought the commercial delegates
and all these things are changed. The Null
vaners, and all who live by public plumber, are
now shouting "Give us the gold standard" If
they were not liars during all those years, they
must be traitors to their country now.-To-
peka American.

i'll New England the postal savings banks
would be decided benefit, in furnishing the
better accommodations to the jewellers in rural
districts. They would also be great conven-
fence to the workers who move about from nlace
to place. But in other parts of the country
they are necessity. Cnriously enough, how
ever those connected with the mutua. SAVINGS
banks OF the east, where the demand for saving
facilities is not so great, offer less objection to
postal savings banks tAan those connected with
the few savings banks that are to be found in

that the latter make a profit from handling the
savings of the poor while the former do not

RULE OR RUIN.

A special telegram to the Philadelphia Times
of the 18th inst. lets the cat out OF the bag
about big row in the business mems club at
Chester, Pa. 1t seems that Hon. w. H. Berry,
who was the fusion candidate for congress in
that district last year, on free-sllver platform,
has so far converted the business mems club
that strong resolution was adopted endorsing
free silver and other Populistic doctrines, at
recent meeting. Now the 6. o. P. gang has
gone into spasms, and through the Times,
opens the batteries on Berry, as follows:
The Chester Business Mems Association has
been assuming the functions OF the Board OF
Trade. aud they have been sending delegates to
the National Board of Trade meetings. The
solid business men of the city do not propose to
allow anyone going from Chester, claiming to
represent the business men, advocate free silver
= before the next meeting of the National Board
of Trade, and before they will allow William
H. Berry to get away with the scheme that he
has undertaken, they will disband the organic
alton by vote of the members"
Of course they will disband the organization
: IF they can They would rather go to hell any
time with Matt Quay than to go to Heaven with
VIM. H. Berry. But, Berry will win-see II
he don't. He has forgotten more than the av-
erage Chester putocrat ever knew. He is one
a. of the brainiest men in Pennsylvania and will
some day lead the reform forces of that state to
glorious victory.
:. The spirit breathed in this clipping illus
trates the true character of the average old par
ty sinners If the business men won't go their
way, they will smash the organization. Same
old spirit of rule or ruin. Neither of the old
parties can be trusted. The rank and file are
E all right, but the campaign manipulators are as
lgtreacherous as Benedict Arnold ever was.
n We predict, now that the free-silver cause
has been betrayed by the Ohio Democrats, and
that party has padded another page to its long
line Of treachery to the common people.
Everybody possessed Of three grains of COM
mon sense knows that the g. o. P. is the EN-
bodiment of every thing that the masses do not
want, and they are fast finding out that the
Democratic party is in the same boat. Mr.
Bryan, you watch the Allen O'Myers gang cut
your throat, politically, and see them dance
with joy as your scalp dangless from their war
(, belt. You are too clean man to mix with
I such fellows.
