Certain newspapers are endeavoring
TO explain away the evident prosperity
that pervades the country. and greets
every man, whether he welcomes II or
not. by declaring that the cost OF liv-
ing has increased so enormously That
the average man receives no benefit
MIR. Bryan uttered a sentiment of this
nature the other day which was
bright but not reliable, when he said
that "the workingman is going around
hunting something to put into his
stomach, while the capitalist is going
around watering places hunting a stom-
ach TO put something into
Now one OF the best indications is in
the deposits OF the savings banks
When men are out of work, or can
only secure the necessaries of life, the
little boards are withdrawn, and the
savings banks practically suspend busi-
ness. On the other hand. a general
employment of labor at remunerative
wages causes thousands to lay aside
their savings for a rainy day. The
Superintendent OF Banking of New
I. York issued a report few days since,
in which he shows that the savings
banks OF that State have on deposit
more than a billion dollars. This is
evidence of prosperity in one
State alone; and II must
be remembered. too. that now we have
no free soup houses. because there is
no call for them
Those who desire a return to the days
OF theWilson tariff should remember the
panic at that time, when the deposits
in The savings banks of the country de
creased to the extent of over $4,000, ,00C
month, and when even those who hat
large sums invested, found themselev'
poor, because it was impossible fo
capital to earn anything save at inter
est. These things may just happen
but they have always shown that Re
publicans were most fortunate in theii
administration.
SO much for the small capitalists
the workingmen and the tradesmeI
who are able to make small accumu

wealthy classesg The Controller of tn
Currency in a statement throws SOM
light on the subject He informs u
