Mr.. BRYAN's PLAN.

The press of the country, especially
the Independent press, is receiving Mr..
Bryan's plan for overcoming the
Roosevelt panic with no small degree
Of favor. "Some," says the Chicago
Record-Herald, ''have eagerly endorsed
powerfully toward the restoration of
confidence. Others see merit in its
principle while pointing out omissions,
difficulties, objections, and winding up
with the declaration that the plan de-
serves serious study. both by Congress
and by the banking community"
The plan calls for a government
guaranty of deposits in the National
banks, the government to be insured
against loss by tax imposed on the
banks. This simply makes a strong
CON bination OF the National banks, and
the benefit would far outrun the cost.
The history OF 40 years shows that the
proposed tax would be less than one
tenth of 1 per cent of the aggregate de-
posits.
The benefits to the National banks
would be so great that the State banks
are alarmed by the proposition, but
Mr.. Bryan points out that each State
bank could give a like guaranty to it's
banks. The plan in it's entirety calls
for the insuring of deposits in the Ma
tional banks by the government, and
in the State banks of the States. re-
spectively, the risk in each case to be
duly paid for just as a risk by fire,
burglary or accident is paid for.
If Mr.. Bryan's plan is rejected the
banks in self-defense and to prevent
furries will yet have to form a combi-
nation on similar lines. In cities they
are combined through clearing houses,
and the savings banks of New York
State are to-day working on a plan
that involves mutual help and cooper
alton, which may be said to be the
basic principle of Mr.. Bryan's plan.
