Suppose you had on deposit $1,000
being all the wealth you possessed, and
/ fear entered your heart as TO the sOlyency
Of that Institution: would you wait for the
guaranty fund.- or would you withdraw
your depositg'
This suppositious proposition is taken
from the paper read by Festus J. Wade
before the convention Of the American
Bankers Association at Dener. We have
selected this, not because il is especially
easy to answer. but because it is fair
Illustration Of the shallowness, sophistry
and banality Of Mr.. Wade's entire reason
ing. From beginning to end his paper is
utterly wanting in breadth Of view and
depth Of research. II lacks thought, this
paper Of Mr. Wade 1t is superficial; it is
vapid
But let us take Festus J. Wade's hypo-
thetical deposit of $1,000. If that was
the entire wealth of the depositor let US
set Mr.. Wade's dubiety at rest by assur-
ing him that under such circumstances
the depositor would do just what Festus J.
Wade would do---wthdraw that money.
He would not wait for the guaranty law
to reimburse him
But suppose a depositor had all his
money deposited in a bank about the sol
vency of which no fear entered his soul.
And suppose he awoke some morning to
learn that the bank had failed. Don't
you imagine it would be vastly consoling
to that depositor to know that his money
was not lost to him; that under the bank
guarantee law provision had been made
to meet just this kind of case, and that
without burthening anybody or any insti-
tuition, this otherwise fatal loss to him has
been avoidedY Imagine, if you can, the
sense Of security and confidence such an
experience must create among the depos-
itors Of the bank that failed ---Joplin
