Increase in Bank Deposits.

The prosperity prevailing in the ag-
ricultural towns is shown clearly by
a comparison made in the Wapello Re-
publican. Four years ago the single
bank in Wapello, Ia, had 225 deposit
ors with $31,6s1 to their credit. Now
that bank has TAI depositors with de-
posits of $131,76e, or an increase of
over 300 per cent. The Republican,
upon Investigation, found that these
deposits were held almost entirely by
citizens of the county and are to the
credit chiefly of farmers and people
who live on wages and salaries. Ac-
tual investigation showed that the
wage n were possessors of over
80 per cent. of the money in the bank.
1t is not possible to make similar in
vestigations in larger cities and.
towns, but it is likely that the case
in Wapello is typical. The increased
bank deposits shown everywhere are
proof that wage earners are not only
making a better living than ever they
did before, but that they are able to
lay aside something, too, for a "rainy
day" The 'rainy day" will come
when Mr.. Bryan, or any one holding
his views, shall be elected to the pres
idency. Then there will be a dwin-
ding in the number of depositors and
their holdings.-Chicago Tribune.
