prove the greatest financial boon ever
extended to the American people,
Under it bank pan1cs would cease
Credit in national bank would be az
good and as unquestioned as note
upon a national bank. There would
be no motive whatever for runs on
national banks, and these tragedies of
the persent banking system would soon
become dark and unhappy memory.
Periods of comparative industrial
and financial depression Can never be
altogether avoided. So long as the
speculative spirit remains in the human
mind, occasional undue initiation of
values and unsound speculative ven-
lures must be expected. If, however,
we could eliminate the wild fear that
leads to panio-striken runs on banks,
the injurious effects of necessary oo-
casional readjustments of values
would be reduced to the minimum.
Depositors would have no reason to
withdraw their deposits and hide them
away when most needed by the banks
and the public. Assured Of the pay.
ment to the last cent of their deposits,
the people would go about their ocou-
pations with confidence and hope.
Financial panics would be robbed of
their most disasterous consequences.
The moral effect of this reform
would be tremendous. 1t would i'm
part great impetus to the virtue Of
thrift and economy. Under existing
conditions every severe financial panic
deals a terrific blow to the saving
spirit of the people. Men are led to
reason that it is not worth while to
save. That large element which is
inclined to live up to its income points
to the ill-fortune Of others who lost
their savings in broken banks and SO
fall back on the demoralizing doctrine
that it is best to spend all and enjoy
life while you can.
Mr.. Bryan finds from statistics that
the average annual loss to depositors
for 40 years has been less than a fourth
of per cent, and from this fact con-
oludes that very small tax on the
national banks would amply insure all
their deposits. There is indeed reason
to believe that if the deposits were SC
insured losses in future would be much
smaller than il. the past, since the mo.
tive that now prompts depositors to
raid and break hanks would be re-
moved. We should then see an end to
this unhappy business of raiding and
breaking banks which ordinarily would
be sound and solvent.
The plan advocated by Mr.. Bryan is
deserving of thorough and friendly
consideration. The fact that it chances
to be advocated by the democratic
leader should not be permitted to exert
the slightest adverse influence on the
minds of republican leaders of con-
gress. -Spokesman.Re

BRYAN'S PLAN A GOOD ONE.

Every note put out by national
bank is guaranteed OF insured by the
United States government. If ma
tional bank fail, its currency remains
as sound as gold dollar, and this
fact establishes perfect confidence in
national bank currency.
Mr.. Bryan would extend this safe
guard to the deposits of national banks.
He would have tho government insure
the payments in full of every dollar
deposited in national bank, the cost
of this insurance to be collected as tax
from all the national banks.
If this reform can Ee effected it will

THE STATE FUNDS.

1t is easy to read between the lines
of the American Surety company's
attack Oh Governor Chamberlain,
through its Portland mouthpiece, W.
J. Clemens. Should the company be
able to hold State Treasurer Steel in
office until his term expires, the surety
people will have saved over $4,000
interest on the total amount of Steel's
bonds, at the expense of the state.
This procedure Governor chamberlain
would prevent. and for this reason de-
mands that Steel resign, so that the
state may collect the Eonds from the
surety company and thus come into
legitimate possession of funds illegltl-
mately deposited with the defunct
trust company. With the resignation
of State Treasurer Steel the burden of
securing the deposit would fall on the
surety company, and in turn the com
pany is endeavoring to shift onto the
state at the expense of the common
wealth, the task of Strengthening out
Steel's tangle with the busted trust
company. Evidently the governor has
no faith whatever in the trust COM
pany ever paying, hence his action in
seeking recovery of the states money
through the only recourse left-the re-
signation of Steel and then collection
of the state treasurers bonds. So long
as Steel is not forced to resign he can
draw salary and also protect the bonds
guaranteed by the corporation. thus
giving the state the "double Cross"
OF the 1896, 900 of state funds depos-
tied with the Title Guarantee bank,
800, 900 is covered by American Surety
company bonds, on which the state
can sue as soon as the insolvency of
the bank is legally established. But
the remaining 1895, 900 is covered only
Ey the general bonds given by the
surety company for the protection of
all state funds in the treasurer's hands,
and on these bonds suit cannot be
brought until Mr.. Steel is called upon
to turn the funds over to his successor.
If he is allowed to serve out the term
for which he was elected. his successor
will not take office until three years
from next January, and in the mean
time no legal demand can he made on
the surety company for the $295, 900 |
deposited in the Title Guarantee bank. |
Interest on the amount could be
charged against the company only
from the date of such legal demand.
If however Steel were to resign now,
demand could be made at once upon
the surety company by the state and
interest would begin to run from the
date Of the demand. The company
will save therefore interest on the
amount involved for over three years,
if Steel serves out the term for which
he was elected. Assuming that the
money is worth to tho company six per
cent, the saving would be SIT, 700 PER
annum or over $4,000 for the three
years.

which had for its aim and purpose the

perience, we cannot afford to pay heed
merely to the teachings of experience. The
great preacher Claiming in his essay on
THE Union spoke with fine insight On
this very point. In commenting on the New
England statesman Cabot, whom he greatly
admired, he said that nevertheless "he had
too much of the wisdom of experience: he
wanted what may be called the wisdom OF
hope" He then continued in words which
have a peculiar fitness for the conditions Of
today: 1--WE apprehend that 1t Is possible to
make experience too much our guide.

depths seem to be broken up in the SOUL

principles Of experience need to be modihed.

Exercise Federal Control.
The first need is to exercise this federal

railroads not to recognize this and to SUD-
init to 1t as the first requisite OF the situa-
ton When this control Is exercised IN
some such fashion as 1t Is now exercised
over the national banks. there Will be no
falling off in business prosperity. On the
contrary, the chances for the average man

Iy there will be much less opportunity than

Moving House a Mystery

Engineers, builders and scientists are alike baffled in all attempts to explain the mystery of the ''moving house' in Berkeley, Cal. It is neat, two-story dwelling owned and occupied by MT. w. c. Webb and his family. Soon af- ter its completion, about year ago, the house commenced moving, apparent ly of it's own accord, and gradually moved toward the street until it had travelled distance of twelve feet. A few weeks ago the movement ceased.
 The building has strong concrete foundation, which rests on apparently solid rock. The ground is perfectly level, and the change in position is not due to gravitation. Tue soil down to rock foundation is of clayey nature.
 Strange to say, the house remains perfectly intact-has not cracked and has not lost it's exact perpendicular DO, sition. Mir. Webb and his family have not moved out of the building, as it seems entirely safe. However, should it begin to move again, they will vacate. So slowly and easily has the house moved that the occupants could feel nothing peculiar.--Popular Mechanics.
