TIE COST OF TIE GCARANTEE

IL has often been remarked that Governor
Hughes has keen grasp Of business and an
analytical insight into figures. This capacity
was illustrated anew in IS examination into
the workings of Mr.. Bryans bank deposit guar
antee-quite the best demonstration of the
costly futility of that plan we have yet SEEN
We quote from one Of the speeches which he
made on his recent Western trip:
Now. let me call your attention 10 what we
have in the State Of New York illustration
upon this point The aggregate deposits In the
national. state and savings banks and trust COM
panies in the State Of New York in 1905 amount
ed 20 s4417,O0O,OOe A per cent tax upon
this would have yielded q fund Of S44,170000.
Now, what is TO be done with that? Is that to
be locked up in investments, so that you can
get money on Il? If so. how are you going to
get the money in the bank? Is il TO be kept so
that IL can be Immediately drawn upon? II so,
then you would have, at the rate OF per cent,
taking period of four years, loss OF interest
Of about 1000, 000
Now. let US see how it works out in New York
TIE records Of the State Banking Department
show that from January !, 1905. TO June 80 1907,
there were four failures OF banks In New York
Two Of them have since paid their depositors in
full and the third has paid so per cent of the
claims Of depositors, and 10 per cent additional
will be paid. The fourth has already paid 81 n
per cent OF the claims OF depositors, and the
other 1919 per cent is to be satisfied by an
sessment levied upon the stockholders. The en-
tire loss occasioned by these failures amounts TO
something over $4,000.
Then we came last fall TO the financial dis
turbance the brunt OF which was borne In the
State OF New York. Ten state banks and trust
companies closed their doors last fall The
snount on deposit IN those ten banks and trust
companies aggregated te2. 00O.0 900 II we had
had a guarantee fund Of 600 and
tanned the loss necessary TO keep IL on immediate

depcxitors in those suspended banks. and the
fact that II would be well known that the guar
antee was insufficient 10 pay those deposits. to-
gether with the OF that vast amount OF
money for that purpose Of immediate payment
would have aggravated the disorder and inter-
sifled the demands upon other institutions. OF
those ten banks all but one have since reopened.
making provision TO pay their depositors in
fun. The loss 10 depositors from January /,
1905, to the present time is less than $4,000.
Thus had the Bryan scheme been IN operation
in New York from January /, 1905. TO the pres
ent time, 1t would have cost 100000 TO make
good $4,000 Pretty expensive! Yes, and loss
could hardly be avoided even If the money were

rHANLER AND BRYAN.

Mr. CHAMBERS nolicv of keeping the public in
the dark as to his intentions and policies will
hardly attract the sympathy of Mr. Bryan, ana
we look for an interesting clash Of temporal
ments and programmes If the Democratic can
didate for President and the Democratic cand-
date for Governor meet on the PLATFORM mere
next week or the week after Mr.. Bryan,
whatever else may be said of him. Is no bur
rover. He enjoys publicity and recognizes its
value. He has never known the day when he
was not ready to tell the public his ideas about
any debatable subject. He is free and full Of
utterance and has committed himself to more
novel political ideas and projects than any other
statesman Of his generation. His plan Is to try
an idea out, and If it fails of popularity TO drop
II without benefit of clergy His whole nature
would revolt at the limitations of "l-am-not-pre
pared-to-say" craftsmanship. He is prepared
TO say. though he may change his mind later
and ask for Il suspension of his former judg
ment
The public likes man who has ideas and Is
not afraid to make them known. Mr.. Bryan
strength in his own party is due mainly to his
outspoken and driving tactics. He Is ready to
take the voters into his confidence and TO ask
their verdict in controversies with rival leaders
But Mr.. Chanler appears to have been unable
10 profit by Mr.. Bryan's example. He wants
to keep the voters in the dark as to his plans
and ideas and asks them to elect him on the
strength of few vague and unlntelligible as
surances We do not believe that the Chanler
method can successfully displace the Bryan
method. The voters of all parties are nowadays
too sensible to be deluded by "we-wlll-attend-to-
that-later' craftsmanship They want Ito be
shown" as the Missourians say; and they will
elect no candidate TO office who is afraid to say
where he stands and what he stands for

CANDIDATE F0RN.P ?.
Seeks to Represent Plymouth,
from Which the Pilgrim
Fathers Were Driven.

: LONDON. July 19.-Esceptional In
terest has been aroused in political
circles by the appearance OF young
Waldorf Astor as candidate for Ply
mouth at the next general election.
He Is Conservative. to which party
his father always has been generous
contributor and a stanch supporter
Aston senior is a member OF the Garlic
ton. the principal Conservative club.
'He was elected by the committee In
recognition OF his financial aid to the
club.
It Is regarded as strange historical
contrast that candidate OF Ameri-
can parentage should seek recognition
In Plymouth. whence the Pilgrim
Fathers sailed to seek asylum In the
New World. driven from their homes
by progenitors of the party OF which
the younger Aston now seeks to be the
representative.
Plymouth is great centre OF II,
but the principal vot-
Ing strength lies with the BIZ army
of government doclkyard employees and
naval men, This element holds the
balance Of power. BY appeals to their
own interests lying In Increased naval
expenditures the electorate usually
has been swayed. Until the last cleo
ton Plymouth usually returned one
Conservative out of the two members
to which It Is entitled.
4 1t is quite probable that in conse-
quence of the loud outcry against the
present government for its policy OF
advocating reduction In naval expen-
ditures Waldorf Aston may get In at
the election two years hence.
