THE PRESIDENTS LETTER.

Every man in the United States
who is in the slightest degree inter-
ested in the material welfare of the
country should read President
Roosevelt's Letter to Secretary Cortel-
you on the subject of the Panama
canal bond issue.
1.-THE government will see that the
people do not suffer if only the peo-
pie themselves will act in a normal
way"
That Is the statement made by
Theodore Roosevelt, man in whom
the people. have the utmost conf
dences AS presidential promise,
given in a time like this and with
nothing upon which to base it save
a desire to serve the public, 1t is
unique. President Roosevelt has al
ways possessed the happy ability to
go outside of his oficial duties when
it was possible thereby to serve
practical, useful end
OF course an official coloring is
given to the presidents letter in the
fact that it is addressed to Secre-
tary Cortelyou, but in reality that
letter is written to the American
people. Straight from the executive
chair they are given good advice by
one in whom they have unbounded
faith. The letter probably will serve
to clear the atmosphere more than
anything that has. transpsred since
the financial trouble began.
4 ~'Crops are good and business con-
ditions are sound" says the presi-
dent, sand we should put the money
we have into circulation I'm order to
meet. the needs of our Amounting
prosperity" 49,
l Better counsel could not have
been given. 1t is the only advice, in
fact, that would At the case, Con-
f1dence is the keynote of the presi-
dents letter, and the promise that
the government will see that the
people do not suffer" Is the most re-
assuring thing the timed ones have
heard since their uneasiness began.
President Roosevelt gives figures
with which to substantiate his asser-
lions. He proves an abundance of
money in the country, and insists
that there is no analogy between
1907 and 1898. The Panama canar
bond issue will help. but, more than
that, the people can help themselves

The turkey is not bird of prey,
but he is offered up with Thanks
giving.
The fun that Mr.. Bryan gets out
of being a candidate is probably all
that it costs him, expenses being
paid at the box office.
The rich mans panic has not pre-
vented the poor man from enjoying
his Thanksgiving turkey.
In the study of elastic currency
some OF the big financiers even
stretch the truth.
In diagnosing the financial sys-
tenn we find that its pulse beats
strong, even if the circulation is bad.
DR.. Hill and DR.. Morgan and DR..
Bryan should hold a consultation
over the condition of the body po-
little.
Politicians should remember that
many who are eating turkey on
Thanksgiving may be eating crow
next year.

NEW ZEALAND SAVINGS BANKS
Success of Government Postofice
Money Depository system.

Consul-General w. A. Prickitt,
writing from Auckland on the opera
lions of the government postal saw
ings banks in New Zealand, calls at
tention to their wide use by the peo-
pie, as follows:
One of the greatest aids to the
financial powers of France, with its
| annual investing surplus of $685.
100000 to $500. 0O0, 900, is the IA
Icility with which its people can in
vest their small savings with abso-
lutte security. The government sys-
! tenn Of postal savings banks enables
investors to deposit small sums in
the postoffices, upon which they
draw interest with the right to with
draw them at will.
New Zealand is young country,
but it has adopted this system wit
the most gratifying success. Postal
savings banks were established by
the colonial government in 1857. On
December 81, 1906, there were $40
postoffices open for the transaction
of savings-bank business, with $685.
746 accounts, covering total de-
post of $4S.766,325, an. average OF a
little over $166.50 to each account,
and representing sum equal to $50
head for the entire population Of
the colony.
Deposits may be made of ] shill.
ing GA 1-3 cents) upward, but in
terest is reckoned only ON complete
pounds ($4,S6). Interest is allowed
from month to month, commencing
with the first day. Deposits made
on the second and subsequent days
do not draw interest until the first
of the month of withdrawal. The
interest due to each depositor is cal
culated to December 81 of each year,
and is then added to the principal
The rate of interest at present Is
3 1-2 per cent up to $500; from
$500 to $4,000. 3 per cent; above
$4,000 no interest is paid. Charit-
able institutions, however, may
draw interest at the maximum rate
for any amount they may desire to
deposit.
The $40 savings-bank post-offices
average depositary for every 1876
persons, and of that number 54S
have a savings-bank account, MAX
ing the proportion of accounts per
head of population nearly one In
three, If these proportions were ap-
piled to the United States with a
population of, say, 82,300,000, there
would be in that country $4,000
postal depositaries, with 27,400,000
accounts, covering deposit In
round numbers of $4,000, 5000
But there were in the United States
in 1905 only 1919 savings banks,
with 8,027,192 accounts, and total
deposits OF $3.4S2,1S7,19S. This is
an average Of $433.S0 to each &C
count, indicating that the savings
banks are being used by people OF
comparatively large means, and that
persons having small sums which
they might deposit under favorable
conditions do not find convenient
depositaries. OF the 29S,746 ac-
counts in New Zealand 212,605 had
deposits not exceeding 800.
