A recent statistical statement shows
the amount OF money on deposit in
the savings banks of New York to
have been $1,221, 100000, which is but
portion of the money owned by the
people of the country in savings banks
Perhaps this is the cause for slumps
in stocks that lately took place in Wall
street. The people were not on the
verge of panic, as this statement
will show, but they took their savings
out of stocks, which were getting in a
precarious condition, and placing them
in the banks where they knew they
would be safe from the manipulations
of promoters having watered stock or
the market for investors.

There are a good many wondering
why Mr. Bryan has cancelled his dates
in Ohio, the country of Tom Johnson.
Can it be that since Mr.. Johnson's
nomination his head has swelled until
he thinks he can get along without
the leader of the democratic hosts;
or does he fear that Mr. Bryan $
speeches will have the same effect on
his campaign as at other times and
elsewhere, and increase the republican
majority? An early explanation of
the cancellation would be welcome to
friends and foes alike.
