The Lesson Of the Savings Banks.

The Lesson Of the Savings Banks.
From the N. Y. Press (Rep)-]
In this great and happy country
there were by official count in 1903
7,035, 22s savings banks depositors with
an aggregate balance to their credit of
$685. ,2O4 ,s45. Preliminary estimates
Of the United States banking officials
indicate that the deposits today are
largely in excess of three billion dol
lars, and that the number of individ-
ual accounts has increased to about
seven and quarter million deposit
tors.
These more than seven million citl-
zens Of the United States are asked
by the Democratic party to vote for
man, Judge Paker, who in 1896 and
1900 deliberately gave his ballot, and
says so, to the formal proposition of
Mr. William J. Bryan to cut the value
of these savings banks deposits in half,
to make of every dollar earned, accu-
INFLATED and put away at interest only
fifty cents of good money; to make
every dollar of interest paid only fifty
cents of good money!
1t is true that Judge Parker has said
in a telegram designed to save MS
party from annihilation and to put
himself in control of the United States
administrative government that he
now regards the gold standard as
firmly established. In other words,
while he twice voted to make fifty
cent piece of every dollar in the saw
ings banks, he now regards that the
depositors themselves, and the rest OF
the Nation, as majority, will not per-
NIT their dollars to be converted into
ffty-cent pieces. He has not said he
I was wrong in 1896 and 1900. de has
not said that he now believes dollar
should remain a dollar He has said
the full 10O-cent dollar is established,
whatever he believes, whatever he
would do had he his own way now, as
he tried to do in 1896 and 1900!

This Is the season of the year when the prudent and careful housewife re- plenishes her supply of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It is certain to be needed before the winter is over, and results are much more prompt and sat istactory when it is kept at hand and given as soon as the cold is contracted and before 1t has become settled ill the system. In almost every instance a severe cold may be warded off by talk ing this remed freely as soon as the first indication of the cold appears. There is no danger in giving it to chil- dren, for it contains no harmful sub stance, It is pleasant to take-both adults and children like it. Buy it and you will get tue best. It always cures.
