MR. BRYAN'S OPINIONS.

The plan of guaranteed bank de-
posits has probably found favor
among all classes of people ire
spective of political utilization,
more rapidly than any other public
question
The ne " state of Oklahoma has
already enacted a law taxing state
banks, the fund thus accumulated
to be used in paying the depositors
of any state bank that from any
cause becomes unable to meet it's
oblig ations. A special session of
the Kansas legislature has been
called for the purpose of enacting
legi Station similar to that of Ok
lahoma. The governor of Nebraska
is considering calling a special
session of the legislature on account
of the growing belief among the
people that pre- sction to bank de-
positors in the form of state or fed
era1 guarantees of their deposits
will stop the boarding of money,
bring in to circulation sufficient cur
rency to conduct the business of the
country, and prevent d recurrence
of such disastrous panic as the one
through which we are now pass
ing
Mr. Bryan has been an advocate
of the law guaranteeing deposits
in state and national banks since
1888 The leg islature of Ohio has
adopted a joint resolution inviting
Mr.. Bryan to address its members
! in joint session February 18, 1908,
on the subject of Guaranteed Bank
Deposits.
Mr. Bryan is discussing the tar
tiff question and insists that resi-
dens of the United States shoulo
be permitted to buy home made
goods at home at as low price az
\ made goods abroad. He also insi list
e that our government should be b.

), legislation for the purpose of bette

&c should supplement- state iegislatio

Mr. Brayn's paper, The Common

on questions of public important
and in ITS columns may also
a found his magazine articles, publ
nc speeches and addresses and lectur

Mountain Home maverick. [volume] (Mountain Home, Idaho) 1906-1911, 1908-02-13


The call for this meeting is of
vast importance to all Democrats
in the State of Idaho. Not for
fifteen years have the chances OF
success been so bright. The party
will present a united front in the
coming campaign and will be
backed by the pu Slic sentiment to
such an extent that it's success at
the polls may almost be discounted.
1t is not inappropriate at this
time to indulge in some RETROSPECT
ton. Grover Cleveland was, in
1884, elected president Of the
United States, but both houses Of
congress were vcrwhelmingly
republican and in consequence his
hands were tied so far as being able
to incorporate democratic doctrines
into legislation. In 1888 Benjamin
Harrison was the choice of the
people, defeating Cleveland for a
second term. At the time of Har-
rison's election the country was on
the brink of financial disaster.
This condition was brought about
by the uninterrupted mis-rule OF
the Republican party from the
close of the war; brought through
the influence of the monied inter
csts of the country, the subsidized
press and the manufacturers of The
New England states and other east
crn sections, grown corpulent anC
arrogant through the operation o
high protective tariff, the crash wa.
avertcd during the four years o
Harrison's term in office. How
ever, there was much unrest in TIL
country, and, the republican lead
ers, seeing toe hand writing on tn
wall, were content to let the cleo
