TAFT IN BAD WITH BANKS.
MIR. TAFT has been talking PGain
about the danger of making banks
safe through the guaranty OF de-
posits.
I His speech at Minneapolis did
not differ materially from former
utterances by Mr.. Taft except that
he was more than ever pronounced
in favor of Postal Savings Banks
When it comes to the question OF
converting the Postal Department In
to a bcnking establishment in OPP
position to banks that are chartered
by federal or state laws. Mr.. Taft
may find bankers more directly In
terested than are the people them
selves for It will he the brnkers
who would suffer under postal
savings system.
All the people ask is, that banks
organized under state or federal
laws shall be made Cs safe to them
as banks are compelled by law to
he for the state and nation in hand
ling public moneys.
To deny the people protection on
their deposits In banks and to open
the postohlces for the deposit of spW-
iDgs, could have but one natural
result, TO drive small customers OF
the banks to the postonice with
their savings Such result might
not affect the City National Bank
or the Morgan Bank or any other
Wall Street Bank but there Is not
a city In Ohio where such system
would not work to the detriment
OF established banks, whether state
or national
Guaranteed deposits as advocated
by Mr.. Bryan and the Democratic
PLATFORM would benefit both the
banks cnd their dopositors. The Pos
tai Savings Bank, as advocated by
Mr. Taft, would simply make the
postollice the principal competitor
of hanks What II would mecr to
the bankers especially in the small
er cities they could best figure
out for themselves as they would see
o!d customers marching past their
doors on the way to the postonice
with their pass-books.

of the Rock Island-Frisco group was so pronounced as to cause some uneasi- ness, although assurances were given that the more immediate financial needs of this system would be safeguarded Their complicated condition is very generally known, however, and some kind of reorganization seems ineVit- able.
 Iron and steel trade conditions are rather mixed just now. A better de- mand is reported for light materials. but otherwise only slight improvement is shown.
 Tn the copper and general metal trade, the situation Is decidely less favorable than a month ago.
 One of the weeks interesting events bearing not little on the securities market, was the sensational collapse in the big cotton pool, which is said to have brought disaster to some of the more venturesome operators in stocks.
 The substantiation of the reports sub mitted by the mercantile agencies for the week is that trade and industrial activities continue to expand, with promise of permanent improvement.
 Europe was in scarcely any sense a factor in the weeks trading here. As an instance of how thoroughly our local financial institutions have re- covered from last falls panic, it is not amiss to note that not one of the de- funct trust companies. since reorgan- ized, has prospered well enough to am ticipate, by four and six months pay ment of two installments to it's deposi- tors
