poslts of the country were reduced
from $1,7S5, 150,957 in 1893 to $1,747,.

In those figures there are billion
and a quarter reasons, each one dol
lar of gold standard value, why the
savings banks depositors Of the
United States know their incomes Of
the present give them not only a bet
ter living, but larger surplus Of
money left over. If their cost of llv-
ing had outstripped their increased
savings they would not be adding to
their savings, as their deposits prove
they are. They would be drawing up
on them, cutting them down, just as
In 1894, when their incomes were
falling more heavily than the cost Of
living; they knew, without any aver
ages or percentages or expert Stats
tics, that they had to call on their saw
ings banks accounts to help out their
incomes.
No one need have any apprehenslo-
that the American people will get
fooled by the Democratic talk Of the
cost OF living eating up their increased
earnings as long as the American peo-
pies bank books show them increased
balances, Just as they we're not fooled
in 1894 by the Democratic talk Of
their cheap cost Of living, for they
we're pulling out their savings every
week to pay bills that their earnings
could not pay. Furthermore, as We
have remarked before, the savings
banks depositors Of the United States
may be relied upon not to get fooled
on another phase Of this Democratic
appeal for their votes. They know
that the Democratic platform adopted
at st. Louis makes no mention of
maintaining those savings banks de-
posits on a gold standard basis. They
know Judge Parker himself, the Dem
ocratlc party's candidate for Presl.

To Kill a Snake.

Senator Lodge is perfectly correct
in saying that the Massachusetts reel
procity movement is a covert scheme
to divide and weaken the Republican
party. The scheme is being engineered
with that purpose distinctly in view
And 1t will succeed unless Republic
ans take it promptly by the neck and
shut of its wind. That is what the
Iowa Republicans did, with the result
that reciprocity squeaks are few and
far between in that fine Republican
commonwealth. 1t will be found in
Massachusetts, as elsewhere, that you
cannot kill a snake by coddling 1t.

But the American people have not

The tariff reformers at various

they discovered that copper ore is on

conveniently forgetting, of course
that if this is true, then in this case
