and so will bankers all over the
country before long, especially If
they will carefully read and pom

"Now the Republican policy Is for the
government to organize postal saving
banks and to establish them all over
the country. Tbis will enable the peo-
pie to deposit their money with the gov
ernment, which insures It's safety. much
more than being In their own possession,
and at the same time they can draw n
small Interest from the government. Tie
government can then lend the money
out on safe securities and thus restore 1t
to circulation. This plan has been tried
In European countries and has been
wonderfully successful. Mr.. Taft prom
ises to establish these banks as soon as
he is elected, and anyone can see II will
be n wise act OF craftsmanship"
Now, Mr.. Banker, what do you
think of thatp Postmaster Gen
eral Won Meyer makes the same
argument. Instead of protecting
your bank and your customers,
the g;o.p. of "sound money" pro-
poses to take your customers away
from you, to draw off the deposit
tors whose money you loan to your
borrowing clients. The chief ar
gument in favor of the postal saw
ings bank is the fear of the banks,
like that man who hid $11, 900
which experts in the treasury de-
partment soaked and identified for
him recently.
The only bankers who would
profit by the postal bank plan are
those eastern high financers who
would expect to get the loan con
safe securities" just as they are
preparing to absorb all of the
$500, 100000 "emergency curren'
cy" of the Vreeland currency act

countries never have panic. Whoever
heard OF a panic such as we had last fall
occurring In England, Germany, France,
Belgium or any of those countries, and
in all of them these postal saving banks
are In universal operation and thus keep
all the timid money circulating, which

Which finishes the argument.

Cleveland Leader Protests

The Cleveland Leader, the lead
ing Republican paper of northern
Ohio, has bolted Chas. G.. Green
Republican candidate for stat,
treasurer.
The Leader sets forth it's reasons
in the following editorial:
cit. is authoritatively an,
nounced that Charles G.. Green
Republican candidate for State
Treasurer, has refused to resign
his place on the ticket. Perhaps
it is Just as well. Mr.. Green know.
ing as he must know, that he il
not an available candidate, has de.
clined to subordinate his personal
ambitions to his party's good. But
he can be made to serve his party &
interest just as surely as though
he had rendered his resignation to
the state committee. He can be
made an example and a warning
for future state conventions that
will have healthful influence in
all political parties.
"Green was not nominated be-
cause of his fitness for the impor-
tant office he sought. He was not
nominated because of his high
character and standing before the
people. He was named for the
state treasurership because of the
selfish interests of a few men who,
by concentrated effort, were able
to influence ma jority OF the con.
vention delegates against their
better Judgment. The man had
just come through an investigation
of the state treasurer's Office and
had come through unsatisfactory
ly. AS deputy treasurer he had
admitted, under examination facts
that proved him careless or inefli-
cient or both. His attitude during
the investigation was hippant and
unsatisfactory. BY the common
est rules of honest American poll
ties he was absolutely unavailable
as candidate. Yet despite all
the balance of good Judgment and
common sense against such nom
ination, Mr.. Green won.
"Just as plain measure of par
ty preservation the Republicans of
the state owe 1T to themselves to
teach Green and his hackers a les
son. The party cannot permit
such open defiance of its best in
terests to go unrebuked. If parti
san considerations alone were at
stake Charles G.. Green should be
defeated. But a higher interest
than partisanship is involved. The
voters of Ohio are American citi-
zens first and party men afterward.
Their plain duty as citizens is to
see to it that only the best men
possible be chosen to public office.
They cannot afford to make excep.
tions to suit party exigencles, The
lire between efficiency and inetii
cheney must be drawn sharply and
sternly without reward to partisan
prejudices.
"In the matter of the state treas
urership The choice is an easy one.
David S. Creamer, Democratic
nominee, far outclasses Green in
record and in promise. He should
have the support of the good citi-
zenship of Ohio"

Grant, and having voted the tick
ct ever since, but the time has
come when | will not give my vote
to that party, which has deceived
the American workman. We have
protection on foreign goods, but
not on the pauper labor of the old
world. We had no pauper labor
until the Republican party import
ed them into this country. They
also sell American goods about so
per cent cheaper to foreign coun-
tries than to us Americans. Then
they want us to vote for Mr.. Taft,
the enemy to American Union la
Dor, the father of injunctions
against labor, and also James
Sherman, his colleague.
Let every true and loyal Labor
Union man vote against Taft and
Sherman, the enemies of Labor. If
they do their duty on election day,
one of the greatest and most -four
ishing States in the Union, Ohio,
will cast her electoral vote for
Bryan, who is aga inst iniunctions
against labor, and against the
pauper labor of the old world. /
think the common people of Ohio
will give a just verdict, We had
better send Mr.. Taft over to the
Philippines to take care of them,
After the election they will have
no further use for Hon. j, b. For

IT the Republicans carry the Leg
slature he will be put on the re-
tired list, though he is the super
ior of Taft in every respect.
As God raised up Moses to lead
the children of Israel out Of
Egyptian bondage, so God has
heard the cries of his children in
free America, and has raised up
that true Christian man, William
j. Bryan, to deliver this country
from those who are depressing the
poor. The State of Illinois should
be proud of his having been born
on her soil, and Nebraska should
boast that there lives in her midst
the greatest man among the Eng
lish speaking people. When the
common people give their verdict
on the 3rd of November, what re-
joicing there will be from ocean to

| deem it great honor to vote
for William j. Bryan, the greatest
living American today, and who Is
equal to Thomas jefferson, the
great friend of the common people.
If elected, the poor laboring man
need not fear injunctions against
labor by some Judge, but Will have
an impartial trial by jury OF his
countrymen.
Let every true Union Labor man
of the great State of Ohio and
throughout the United States, vote
for Bryan and Kern. Down with
such men as Taft, Sherman, Can
non, Dalzell and others, W no care
nothing about laboring men, but
employ nothing but the pauper
labor of the old world in their
mills. Resi- ectfulIy yours,

This is For Bankers and
Bank Depositors.

Ordinarily when Republican edi-
tors try to argue against anything
that is right, simply because 1t IL
advocated in a Democratic plat.
FORM, they trip themselves before
they get through with it. An in
teresting proof of this fact is fur
nished by the Mansfield News, a
Republican paper, In its issue OF
August 81, and it is our purpose
to reproduce that papers editorial
entitled "Unsound on Currency"
in full, with comments. interposed
to emphasize some of it's points
We will take the editorial in sec.
tions for that purpose:
''rhe Democratic party seems to be as
unsouud on the currency question as 1t
ever has been In 1895 their dope was
free silver, which, If triumphant, would
have meant the decentralization of the
business OF the country and the destruc-
tloh VI huhy chtotpiiooo' hO isVpuph-
can party has shown how essential
sound money is to the success and pros
perity Of nll business undertakings"
That starts off with the swing
of the same old COP. ''sound
money" arguments of 1896. which
have been exploded over and over
again in the past decade, and
especially during the past two
years. Republican statesmen who
favored the Aldrich-Vreeland cur.
rency bill exploded it themselves.
But we must pass on to more i'm
portant points, which follow:
"Mr. Bryan comes forward and wants
all deposits of all banks guaranteed. The
money required to do this Is so stupen-
'dous that Mr.. Bryan cannot comprehend
it."
Where would the banks get the
money to pay depos.tors if all the
'depositors were to demand their
deposits the came day? Where
would insurance companies get
the money to redeem risks if all
risks were to mature the same
day. Guarantee of bank deposits
would operate the same as any
other kind of insurance.
"When panic comes on the fact that
so many people take their money out OF
banks and lock 1t up. thus taking 1t out
of circulation, is what causes the re-
sumption OF prosperity to move so slow
ly. The reason why these timid people
take their money out OF the banks IS
that they are afraid the bank Will BUST
as the old saying is."
Well2 WELLf2 Thati is what
Mr.. Bryan has been saying all
along. He said it to the New
York bankers, he said it to the
Ohio legislature, he said it to Mr..
Forgan, of Chicago, and to many
Others. That is one reason for
guaranteeing deposits, it "restores
confidence in the bank and pro-
tects the bank as we'll as the de-
positor. The bankers of Okla

The Battle Is On.

of approval upon the plans made
by the Democratic National com
mittee to bring about his election,
the Democratic campaign may be
said today to he in that period of
transition in which practical
organization is completed and the
skirmish fire of the battle has be-
gun.
There will be meeting of the
National committee and sub. com.
mittees with Mr.. Bryan on Sep
tember 8, to consider whether the
line of action taken is proving eff.
fective.
Politics was eschewed at head
quarters today and Mr.. Bryan,
with his brother and few friends,
attended church; but to the
National committeeman and the
friends who spoke to him of the
hard struggle that Chairman
Mack and the campaign managers
had outlined, he replied:
81 realize the task ahead of
me and what it means. am not
minimizing the demands that |
know will be made upon me, but
feel that can do what is ex-
pected of me, for my health is fine,
and | never entered a fight with
more hope of victory. 1t is the
peoples fight and to battle for
them gives added courage and
strength in the trying hours of
campaign"
Political developments in the
last "a hours since Mr.. Bryan's ar
rival here show that the managers
of the Demo cratic campaign have
put the fight into the hands of Mr.
Bryan and to the people.
Mr.. Bryan has already made
two speeches-his address of noti-
fication and the tariff speech at
Des Moines-and this week will
find him making several speeches
in the Middle West, where Chair,
man Mack has decided to make
the main fight of the campaign.
New York is to he invaded and
in all probability New Jersey,
Delaware, Maryland and West
Virginia, and in Ohio, Illinois and
Iowa, the Democratic candidate
will make his principal struggle
for victory.
After Mr.. Bryan has chosen
each of the several planks of the
party platform as the theme of an
extended speech, he will then in
those speeches to be made later in
the campaign, elncidate upon
these various subjects in greater
details.
Chairman Mack has informed
Mr.. Bryan that the committee
does not intend to call upon him
to make as many speeches as in
other campaigns, but it is known
that the demand for Mr.. Bryan's
services has become insistent from
many quarters and there is
strong probability that before the
end of next month, Mr.. Bryan's
speaking plans may undergo many
changes.
Acting on the advice of Mr..
Bryan, the National committee
are incllning their effort to enlist
the aid of the people to effect
Democratic success at the polls,
and, to do this most effectively,
Chairman Mack is seeking to have
Democratic clubs organized in
every voting precinct in the
United States.
Upon these Democratic clubs
both Mr. Bryan and the National
committee are depending for their
greatest aid and strength, and
they are the feature of this
campaign. The Democratic club
idea is believed by many in the
National committee to have been
developed to its present scope by
Mr.. Bryan, who declares that the
whole campaign depends upon
them.

MARKETING OF LEMONS
WILL BE INVESTIGATED
and Whittier Laboratory
to Determine on Best Method
Of Handling the
Fruit

During the past few years many of
the largest organizations connected
with the lemon industry have request
ed the bureau of plant industry to
extend the type of investigation that
has been carried on in connection with
the orange to the handling of lemons.
1t has not been practicable to undertake
this work. as all of the available men
have been connected with the orange
investigation that has been so success
fully conducted under the direction of
G. Harold Powell. AS the questions re-
lating to the losses in the shipment of
oranges are nearing completion, 1t Is
the intention of the bureau to take up
the lemon industry from this time and
an effort will be made to determine
the relation that the various methods
of handling the fruit bear TO the decays
that occur In curing and in shipment.
AS with the orange industry, the plan
will be to investigate primarily the
effect of the physical handling of the
lemon in the field, in the packing mouse,
and while in transit on the common
blue mold decays. Other forms of de-
cay caused by parasitic organisms Will
be left for investigation by Prof. Smith
and his associates at the laboratory at
Whittier, where the equipment for this
line of work Is especially well deVel-
oped.
The bureau has two men in Southern
California this summer working on the
lemon, and several others will be add
ed to the force in the spring. The work
will be carried on In many sections
from San Diego to Tulare county. and
will include demonstration experiments
in the packing houses and extensive
shipping tests.
In addition to this line of work, ar
investigation of the influences of th'
different methods of handling and O
preparing the lemon for market, suci
| as curing, sweating, etc, on the physi
illogical activities of ultimate keeping
quality of the fruit is progressing un'
der the direction of DR.. r. H. True o.
the department. This work will bt
continued and enlarged during the
present year.
The various lines of work that are
being developed by the department
are planned so as to harmonic with
the Investigations that are In progress
at the Whittier laboratory, so that the
results of all of the investigations may
be made to dove-tail and to be gene
rally helpful to the industry as
whole.

NEW YORK STOCK
AND BOND MARKET

NEW YORK. July 10.-The tone Of the mar
ket was Irregular today and the professional
traders were good deal CONFUSED oy tne oD-
stacies they encountered IN the movement oL
prIces in both directions. The start was
lower than last night, the disposition being
anparently to take profits on the action OF the
Democratic national convention. Inere mas

candidates definitely removed there Would DC
some outside demand for stocks aroused.
Al the lower level induced by this realizing
an apgressiye demand developed and prices ad-
Nanced vigorously This movement had not
proceeded far when stocks began to be onered
in a volume and with persistence that argued
some large participation In the market on
that side. Selling orders In several separate
stocks came from an individual source in 5000
10 10000 share portions and this led to a sup
position that plunging operations were being
renewed on the part of a recent spectacular
performer in the market.
Some Of the stocks which have figured most
prominently IN this weeks rise were anected
by an exhaustion of demand at the mgher
prices 20 which they had been carried, ana
the prices gave way easily before realizing
sales. This was particularly true Of American
Smelling. Amalgamated Copper and the two
Hill railroad stocks, which were strong yes
terday, and United States steel preterr REQ
which rose buoyantly previous day. The
sentimental effect Of these weak points was
considerable and there was no such conspicu-
Gus point OF strength to offset 1t as during
other periods of realizing during the week.
The general list, therefore. showed more
sympathy with this weakness than yesterday.
There was a sudden drop Of activity OF the
market during the midday period, after the
a first hours business larger than for any DAY
of the week.
The appearance Of support in the market
disappeared in the late dealings and the clos
