Why has the Republican party been so
quick 20 respond TO the demands of Wall
street and so slow to yield TO the demands
of the masses? There are tst$ reasons:
first. the Republican party has allowed
itself to become the servant of the favor
seeking corporations and, second too
from the aristocratic standpoint, the
standpoint of the few-rather than from
the Democratic standpoint, the stand
point of the many. They iegislate
upon the theory that society is suspended
from the top. and they fail, therefore TO
understand either the evils that afflict the
body polite, or the remedies that are need
ed. The Democratic party, viewing ques-
tons from the standpoint of the whole
people, easily sees that which Republican
leaders do not discover, and its remedies
begin with the relief of the average man:
This is the secret, if secret there be. OF
reform.
When Solomon was invited to choose
what he would, he asked for an under
standing heart, that he might discern be-
tween the good and the bad. and he was
told that, because he had chosen wisdom
rather than riches or long life. he should
have not only wisdom, but riches and
length of days as we'll And so when a
party determines to seek first that which
benefits the common people. il finds that
in acting in the interest of the common
smaller classes which rest upon the
masses, for when the producers of wealth
prosper. their prosperity is shared by
every element of society.

MURDER AT MILES CITY.
Montana Man Is Killed While Trying
to Save Friend.

Helena, Mont, Aug. pa special to
the Record from Miles City says Coro-
ner Grey and a jury today are inquir-
ing into the death of Norman Thetford.
who was shot yesterday morning at 1
o'clock by NJ. c. Hosp, a piano player
at frankie Dryers.
Thetford died yesterday at the hos
pital to which he was removed. He
would not be convinced that he would
die and would make no ante-mortem
statement. When he was convinced. it
was too late, as he could not speak
when the county attorney arrived. He
said, however, that as he and Leonard
were walking along, Hosp, who had
followed, came around in front of them
and demanded that they throw up their
hands. They complied, but Hosp fired
a shot at Leonard, and to save Leonard
Thetford made a grab for the gun and
then Hosp shot him.

Banks viii Be the Gamers.

But, as a matter of fact the banks will.
as a rule, gain more from the law than
they will lose by the tax imposed by the
law. The interest collected upon the in
creased deposits will far more than pay
the losses occasioned by insolvency. But
two banks have failed and the assets have
in both cases been sufficient to reimburse
the fund.
Then. too, the banks must remember
that the question is not merely whether
depositors shall be made secure, but
whether the security shall be given by the
banks themselves or by the government
through a postal savings bank.
The refusal of the banks to permit the
passage of law granting security to de-
positors is responsible for the growth of
the sentiment in favor of the government
savings bank. and the sentiment will con-
tinue to grow unless something is done to
satisfy the demands of the people upon
this subject.
The Republican party proposes the es-
Enlistment of a postal savings bank sys-
TEN: the Democratic party prefers the
guaranteed bank because IL is better for
the depostor and better for the banker
il gives the depositor the security which
he needs and yet leaves the banking BUSH
ness in the hands OF the banks. But the
Democratic platform declares for "a postal
savings bank If the guaranteed bank
cannot be secured" and in November

The Bankers Character.

Il has sometimes been objected that
the guaranty system would bring into the
banking business lower class OF men and
reduce the average in character. On the
contrary, the guaranty of deposits, l sub
init, would, if it made any difference in
this respect bring into the banking bust
ness a better class of men and raise, II
that is possible the average of charac-
ter. II is not to a mans discredit that
he is not willing that one of his fellow
men should lose money on his account Is
ii not a mark of character that a man
should be careful of his good name and
considerate of the esteem of his fellows?
At present a successful farmer or business
man may be induced to take stock IN
bank. 1t may be that his name is desired
to give standing and credit to the bank,
but such a man is constantly haunted by
the fear that a bank official may be
guilty of criminal conduct which will bring
the bank into insolvency. 1t is even pos
sible that the banks assets may be en-
tirely dissipated. and that the honest citi-
zen, who has become a stakeholder, may
either be compelled to go beyond his legal
liability or meet the bitter criticism of
the depositOrs who have suffered by the
failure. Would il not be worth something
to the stakeholder in peace of mind, TO
know that the maximum of his loss would
be the value of his stock and the 100 per
cent liability, and that no depositor could
lose anything? l am convinced that the
guaranty of deposits would not lead to de-
ers.
To Justify a law guaranteeing depositors,
ii is not necessary to show that the advan-
tage to the bankers would amount to more
than the tax. The examination of the
banks would continue to be made at the
expense of the banks, even If it were GER
tain that the examination was of no pc
cuniary advantage to the banks. The
law would continue to require a certain
amount of reserve to be kept on hand.
even If IL were certain that such a law
brought no pecuniary gain to the bank
and so the banks ought to be compelled
to insure their depositors against loss, even
If it could not be shown that such insur-
ance would bring a compromising advan-
tage to the bank. The bank charter has
a value; if it were not valuable the bank
would not be organized. The bank charter
Is gift from the people through the law,
and the people who authorize the estab
lishment of a bank have a right to de-
mand. ins return. that the bank shall keep
the pledge which it gives when it invites
deposits and make good it's promises of
security to those who deal with it.

flicts a great loss upon stockholders and
disturbs the business of the city or town
in which the bank is located.
The law should make ii criminal Of
tense to loan more than the prescribed
amount to one person, and we would
probably be able to secure the passage
OF law prohibiting market speculation

A Pioneer in Reform.

1 have selected the capital of the state
for the delivery of a speech upon this sub
ject, because your neighbor upon the south
has been a pioneer in this reform. Her
plan, as you know, has been such signal
success that deposits have been drawn
across the line from your state into Okla
homa. The alarm caused by this invasion
of your banking territory caused your gov
ernor to include in his call for a special
session a recommendation of the passage
of a law similar to that of Oklahoma
When the legislature met, however, the
influence of the large banks was suffi-
cient to prevent the needed legislation. and
your state still suffers. The people or
Kansas have had an object lesson; they
know the necessity for a law guarantee
ing deposits. They have seen its benefl-
cent results in a sister state, they have
seen fifty-fOur national banks taking ad-
vantage of the state system and reaping
rich reward. They have heard the echo
national banks of Oklahoma by the attor-
ney generals ruling. which denies to such
banks the right to share in the benefits of
the state guaranty system-that echo be-
ing the surrender of charters by national
banks which prefer TO become state banks
rather than surrender the benefits of the
guaranty system. They have also seen
how the influence of q few big banks, con-
centrated upon a legislature, can defeat
the wishes of the smaller banks and the
desire of the depositors all over the state.
l submit that in this effort to make all
banks secure, the Democratic party is the
champion of the farmer, the laboring man,
the business man, the professional man,
