Guarantee of
Bank Deposits
SUPERVISION A RA
TIoNAL GUARANTEE.

When the Democrats were In
power they were making no especial
effort to protect bank deposits, for the
good reason that there were very few
to protect; but since the wisdom of
the Republican party has brought pros
perity to the land and filled the banks
with deposits of merchants and work
ing people, Mr.. Bryan is very much
exercised for fear the depositors will
lose their savings. 1t is conceded by
all hands that it is very necessary to
guard the solvency Of our banks; but
it is not agreed that Mr.. Bryan's plan
defalcations and losses of the dishon-
est bankers is just and proper.
The American citizens engaged in
the banking business constitute a GER
tain percentage of the total population.
Why should this element be dscrim-
mated against by making its honest
members stand for the losses OF the
dishonest If it is right to make the
successful bankers pay for the short
comings of the unsuccessful bankers,
why is it not also right to carry out
the same plan with insurance COM
panies, building and loan associations.
fraternal beneficiary societies and all
institutions that handle deposits or
trust funds.
The Democratic party has been try
ing to make people believe that it is
strenuously opposed to class legisla-
ton and to unjust discrimination in
all its forms; and, yet, 1t is perfectly
willing to discriminate and levy a
penalty upon our citizens who are sue
cessfully and honestly managing the
banking business Of this country by
making them provide fund to take
care of the losses of defaulting insti-
tutions.
The reason Mr.. Bryan has seized
upon this plan and is trying to make
an issue of it is that he believes 1T
WILL MAKE VOTES. He knows of
course that everybody wants to see
our banks made absolutely safe and
he feels there is a sufficient number
of people who are glad to get some.

but unequivocally announces its allegi.
ance to the protective policy and
pledges it's retention in its revision OF
the tariff laws. 1t specifically pledges
protection to the American sugar in
dustry even as against the Philippine
Islands. Its language Is. Between the
United States and the Philippines we
believe in free exchange OF products
with such limitations as to sugar and
tobacco as will afford adequate protec-
ton to domestic industries We i'm
port annually about 100000 tons of
sugar Mr.. Taft In his letter Of &C
ceptance constituting the Philippine
plank OF our platform stated that he
favors the admission of not to exceed
100000 tons of Philippine sugar free
on the ground, to use his own Ian
guage, that such an importation from
the Philippine Islands. not likely to be
reached in ten years, will bring about
the normal state OF prosperity in those
islands in reference to sugar culture. :"
"Other Republicans may construe the
platform for themselves. They may
conclude that adequate protection
to the domestic sugar industry can
only be obtained by prohibiting any
free sugar from the Philippine Islands.

I vision over banks. II the state su-
pervises them properly there will be
NO need OF considering any other plan
to guarantee bank deposits. The truth
Of this has been demonstrated in the
supervision over insurance companies
which is now carried on by the vari-
GUS states with such success that it Is
practically impossible for an insur-
ance company to fail without its con-
dition being discovered In time to save
the policy holders.
II it is necessary to provide fund
to reimburse depositors who lose by
the failure of banks, the fund should
be contributed by all the people and
not by the honest bankers, because the
honest and legitimate bankers are no
more responsible for these losses than
other honest people who go to make
up our population. The state has the
power to inspect the condition of all
the banks every week il necessary,
but the good banks have no such au-
thority over the poorly managed in
situations.
The Republican party in Colorado
stands ready to extend if necessary the
authority and scope of the supervision
Of the banking machinery and to do
everything in its power to increase the
safety of deposits. 1t can be depended
upon to find the constitutional and ra-
tional plan without discriminating
against the honest bankers or any ele-
ment Of our people.
The noise the Democrats are making
over this alleged issue is due to the
fact that Mr.. Bryan has made a fad Of
it. There is no demand for hasty or
radical legislation upon this subject.
The national Republican platform
suggests Postal Savings banks, a sys-
tenn which provides for deposits with
the government through the postoflce
department, inasmuch as the govern
ment Is absolutely responsible for the
acts of its employees there would alb
solutely be no question as to the safety
of the deposits.

Its remedy for all evils is not correc-

unequivocally for the Democratic doc
trine on this question and has con-

The Republican party declares for
revision of the tariff along protective
lines and specifically promises "ade-
quate protection" to the American
sugar industry, even in our trade with
the Philippine Islands. There can be

The New Voters.
The success of the Republican party
two years ago. and its admirable rec
ord in office since that time, are not
the only reasons for its assurance Of
victory at the coming election. Since
that time, the state has acquired thou
sands of new inhabitants. Most OF
these are farmers who have settled In
the agricultural districts of Colorado.
and most of them are of Republican an
tecedents. The Republican party has
always been the party of the farmers,
prominently, and there is good reason
to expect that very large majority of
the recent settlers in this state will
vote the Republican ticket.
At every presidential election there
is a large number Of young men and
women who have just attained their
majority-who cast their first vote.
The party Of progress, the party Of
prosperity. the party that does things.
the party Of Theodore Roosevelt and
William H. Taft may reasonably expect
a good majority Of these first voters to
cast their lot with it.
Four years ago Theodore Roosevelt's
plurality in this state was 1852. The
phenomenal popularity Of Mr.. Roose-
welt. and the fact that he il 20 well
known by many thousands In this state
undoubtedly accounted for a part Of
this vote. But. with every discount that
is reasonable. and with every allow.

"All tariff laws to be reduced to a

to any industry, is the meaning of the
Democratic platform. Yet Democrat

state to vote the Democratic national
ticket in order to get protection for
our sugar industry. How about hides,
wool, lead iron, coal and all the pro-
ducts of the farm? II protection Is so
good for sugar, why is it not equally
good for all our other products and
