Concerning the probability of the es.

pie it to such an extent it vii be of no
practical benefit TO the people, who are
anxious for its passage
The story of the postal savings bank
legislation is an odd one. Originally a
Democratic proposal, it had no chance
in Congress. Then last summer the Re-
publicans stole it and put il in their plat
form as an antidote to the Bryan guar
antee Of deposits proposal. AS soon as it
had served this purpose the Senatorial
conservatives proposed to drop it, making
the plea that the monetary commission
is working on general financial reform
scheme and ought not to be interfered
with by any patchwork efforts at reform
so long as its conclusions have not been
reached. But the younger element in
Congress, which is more or less imbued
with the reform spirit, has discovered its
strength and is determined to force the
issue TO fight.
