at tho present time there must be
large sums Of none in boarding
which would be in banks. that is, in
circulation, If popular confidence in
banks were as nearly perfect as it
should be and as It could easily be
made.
Evidence Of the popular interest in
this subject is found in the large num-
Der Of letters which flow in upon
newspapers ana newspaper corrcspon-
dents. II seems to be true that the
II great argument in favor Of a gov
eminent or postal savings bank Is the
absolute security afforded dcpositors.
After the postal bank has CONF it Will

pay 4 per ccnt. Yet a considerable
part of the ~dopositors win pass the
state or national bank and leave their
money with the government. where
they know it is absolutely safe. The.
pertinent question is asked by u num-
Der of readers. Is it not 10 the inter
est Of the regular banks to anticipate
the government and give the abso-

business in their own hands, instead Of

phia Public Ledger concludes an In

the declaration that in every state

die playing their absolute power to do
rs they wish. If they indicate that
they want this or hat man or this
measure or that legislation. they are
lnNinciblc. The people rule when they

"A desire 10 take over the power. and
