The Increasing Bank Deposits.

Some Of those anarChistic dema-
gogues with whom this country Is
afflicted. whose creed is that property
is robbery" are still heard crying in
the press and on the street corners
that the rich are growing richer and
the poor poorer. They are wrong; put
! their wall continues, however frequent
| ~ and plainly the truth is presented
! But these workers of mischief can 90
! little harm. after all. Some others
who hold to this view are honestly mis-
taken. and are found in professors
chairs and at editors desks. They are
open to argument. and it Is only rea-
! sonable to expect them to change their
views of they make a study of present
conditions.
There are some figures that, by skill
full manipulation, can be made to lie in
the most outrageous fashion. But not
of this class are the figures which
show the increasing deposits in our
savings banks, the more numerous de-
! positors, md the greater average de-
nosits. lust as the books of the ma
tional banks show beyond dispute the
improved business conditions Of the
country. 50 those of the savings banks
prove the improved financial condition
of the masses The abstract published
in another column. this morning. of the
able and comprehensive report Of Bank
Examiner Undertake, makes most in
! teresting reading for Maine people.
| The increase in deposits and in de
positors during the past year is most
| gratifying. far in advance of that of
the preceding years; and proves that
! the common people Of our State, those
| who labor on the farm and in the
| workshop and factory, are growing
richer. not poorer. 1t shows that the
| good times which have come 10 our
State have brought increased pros

And not only in our own State are

reassuring condition Of things in the
official report Of the comptroller Of the
currency. recently issued from Wash
ington. Of the business done by the
savings banks Of the whole country
during the last five years. Here are
the figures which prove that in that
brief period, in the earlier part Of
which is included some Of the most an
prosperous years Of the present gener-
alton. the poor have not grown poorer.
but richer:

These statistics show that in five

Of which represent only "a fraction of
the gross savings of the people, have
Increased to the great amount of $3SS,-
900 600: that $4,000 depostors have
been added to the list of those of 1875,
and that the average deposit has
grown from 1863 to 1895.
Those figures refute the calamity
howlers, and all others who hold that
the poor in America are growing poor
er. And those figures do more than
that. They give organized society and
government assurances of stability and
Of security from the attacks of an
archists and socialists The creed thar
prosperity is robbery will not gain Il
foothold while savings bank deposits
are increasing and depositors are more
and more numerous. The deposit Of
the wage Garner is his property, his
capital and is as dear to him as the
property and capital Of his Wealthiest
neighbor. The savings bank de-
positOr who has worked hard ana
denied himself to save a snug sum is
not going to unite with those who
would destroy the temple of society
and of government. on the contrary,
he will join forces with the supporters
Of order and peace and industry. So II
is that the increasing army of savings
banks depositors is one of the strong
est defences Of our country.

WILL MAKE WAR ON INSECTS.
Plans OF Massachusetts EntomOlo-
T. Il gtsts for the Coming YeaT, to 81
Ia .,ssss IL bate sDestruet1en.3

The attacks of injurious insects prob
ably cause the loss of several millions
of dollars in Massachusetts, alone each
year, says the Boston Transcript. This
has not always been the case, but in
sects are becoming more abundant and
consequently more destructive. Much
of this destruction, however, could be
either in part or wholly prevented If
the proper methods of treatment were
made use of, and that this is not more
frequently done is very unfortunate.
1t is probable that the reason Cor the ap-
parent: negligence in this regard is due
to ignoranc as to what the insect: is in
each particular case and what to do ia
prevent its ravages. It is ssthis very un-
certainty which results in nothing be-
ing done in most cases.
In order to provide this information
i for residents of the state the entomo-
logical division, of the Hatch expert
ment station at Amherst offers its serv-
ices without@c charge to all who may de-
sire them. In order TO obtain this as
sistance write to the @entomologist,
Hatch experiment station, at Amherst,
Mass, describing the trouble, and also,
if possible, send samples of heinjury
and insect causing it, and attent:on will
at once be given to the matter
AS the Hatch experiment station of
Massachusetts, is supported in part by
state appropriation, such a use of:i1s
facilities by the people of the state is
not only justifiable but desirable, for
it was established for just that purpose,
and no one who incurs loss BY insect
I: ravages can excuse himself for / hat loss
except on the ground Of ignorance that
such assistance could be obtained.
