PROTECTION FOR DEPOsITORs.
Postal Savings Banks Offer a Salts

Postal Savings Banks Offer Salts
factory Measure of Protection.
Mr.. Bryan's scheme for the protec-
tion of depositors is to make solvent
and prudently managed banks pay the
losses Of the insolvent and imprudently
managed. 1t is plan to make every
bank go security for every other bank,
and it may we'll be questioned if a law
imposing such an obligation without
the consent of the person charged
would be sustained by the courts.
Mr.. Taft, discussing this subject said
that he favored postal savings banks as
a protection for depositors rather than
the Brya rs mcfheoecmfwyp cmfwyp
the Bryan scheme of enforced liability,
The distinct advantage of the postal
savings bank proposition is that it
would provide for direct government
responsibility. The depositors would
be guaranteed against loss by the
government, because the banks would
be government institutions. There
would be no possibility of loss, and no
injustice would be inflicted upon other
banks like that to which they would
be subjected under the Bryan scheme,
if they were compelled to pay losses
incurred by banks over which they
had no control.
Postal savings banks in other coun-
tries have given great satisfaction, and
there is no question that they would
be conducted as safely and in every
other way as satisfactorily in the Unit
cd States. The government be-
ing the banker, would properly be
charged with responsibility to the de-
positors and others doing business
with it.
On the other hand. the State has no
more authority to make a banker re-
sponsible for the debts of another
banker than it has to impose a like
responsibility upon a merchant for the
debts of other merchants. Surety is a
matter Of voluntary contract. and the
essential element in any financial OBJ
legation is consent on the part of the
person to be charged To force a
banker to insure the payment of the
debts of another banker is to impose
upon him an obligation against his
will, which would be manifestly I'M
just.-Denver Republican.

Joint Interests.

Labor needs capital to secure the best
production, while capital needs labor in
producing anything. The share of each
laborer in the joint product Is AFFECTED
not exactly, but in general way, by
the amount of capital in use as COM
pared with the number of those who
labor. The more capital in use the
more work there is to do, and the more
work there is to do the more iaborers
are needed. The greater the need for
Iaborers the better their pay per man.
Manifestly. it is in the direct interest
of the laborer that capital shall in
crease faster than the number of those
who work Everything which iegitI-
mately tends to increase the accumu-
lation of wealth and its use for pro-
duction will give each laborer a larger
share in the joint result of capital and
labor.-Hon. VIM. II. Taft, at Cooper
Union, New York City.

and in detail has shown its capacity to
govern. By the homestead law, with
equal generosity and wisdom, it distri-
buted the immense national domain
among the citizens who were willing
to cultivate it and who have convert
ed wide stretches of wilderness into
smiling homes. 1t built the Pacific
railroad, which has bound the union
together from east to west and made
the States beyond the mountains among
our most loyal and prosperous COM
monwealth, 1t redeemed our paper cur
rency and made all our forms of money
exactly of equal value, and our credit
the best in the world. By persistent
honesty in our finances-in the face of
obstacles which might have daunted
the hardest statesmen-it has reduced
our interest charges so that in any
mart on earth we can borrow money
cheaper than any other people. We
have by the patient labor of years re-
formed and regulated our civil service,
so that patronage has almost ceased
to cast its deadly blight upon the work
of our public servants.
Brilliant and Glorious Record.
It's record is but q succession of bril-
liant and successful achievements
which have raised the nation to a
world power of the first rank and which
have vouchsafed to our people the max
imum of benefits with a minimum of
cost. Some things it has accomplished
may be mentioned here:
The homestead law passed by Re
publican Congress and signed by Abra-
ham Lincoln.
The national banking laws, which
gave the people a currency stable in
all parts of the country.
The system of internal revenue tax
alton by which approximately one-half
of the ordinary expenses of the gov
ernment have been raised from malt
and spirituous liquors, tobacco and
cigars.
The constitutional amendments,
which abolished slavery, created citi-
zenship of the United States, as dis
tinguished from citizenship of the sew
eraI states, and established equality Of
suffrage.
The Civil Rights act, which extended
to all persons the equal protection Of
the laws.
All existing laws for pensions to war
veterans.
The resumption of specie payments !;
the reduction of postage; the money
order system: the establishment Of the
railway mail service.
Rural and city free delivery.
The endowment Of public schools,
agricultural colleges, ETC., by grants of
land from the public domain.
The establishment of the Circuit
Court of Appeals to relieve the Su-
preme Court and no longer require
litigants to suffer a delay of three or
four years in securing a decision on
appeal.
The principle of reciprocity, by
which we reduce the duties on certain
imports from countries that offer cor
responding advantages to our exports.
and thus extend our foreign market.
Statehood for Kansas. Nebraska,
Nevada, Colorado, North and South
Dakota. Washington. Montana. Idaho,
Wyoming and Oklahoma.
The Sherman antitrust act.
The national bankruptcy law OF
1867 and 1898. which relieved many
thousands of unfortunates and restor-
ed them to commercial or industrial
activity.
