Postal Savings Banks.

Postmaster General George Y. L Meyer
believes there IS no doubt that at the
coming session OF Congress a bH VIII
be passed authorizing the establish
meut Of postal savings banks. and he re-
calls that such bill was favorahly re-
ported TO the Senate at the last session
In the current issue Of the North Amer
lean Review he gives his arguments IN
favor OF such a bill. and points out that
both the Republican and Democratic plat
forms contain declarations in its favor
The Postmaster General Is Of the opin-
ion that such banks will be Of great value
20 the wage Garner; they viii be bene-
fetal both 70 capital and labor. and viii
do much toward the preventing OF hoard
ing Of money throughout the country.
The subject is one that has been agitated
since ISL; but Mr.. Meyer points out that
the peculiar desirabilIty OF such institu-
ti0ns was not emphasized until last au-
tumn. when the money received through
postal banks would have done much to-
ward avertinE the financial stringency.
One OF the main arguments used against
the establishment Of postal banks has
been that they viii trench on the ground
now occupied by the commercial and the
savings banks: but 8lr Meyer points to
the experiences OF Great Britain. France.
and Holland. which have long had postal
banks. to disprove this He thinks, IN
