The proposition TO institute a sys.

plausibility greater. perhaps. than
either that for the free coinage OF sill.

in its favor are chiefly these two:
First. yapt of confidence in The solv.

the immediate cause of that state OF
mind which is tho forerunner of pan.

to bank, presently brings on the pan.

cant. because the records slow that
in forty.three years the actual loss
10 depositors through national bank
failures has averaged only one.twen.
tieth of one per cent. per annum: an
insurance fund Of this amount, con,
ttfbuted by the banks themselves,
would be but a slight burden on them
and would, indeed, be shifted 10 the
business community generally. to
whom it would be practically imper.
ceptible.
Such, in the main. Is the argument
for the guarantee of deposits, and 1t
is sound as far as it goes. But 1t does
not go beneath the surface. Runs on
banks may be the immediate or prox.
innate cause of panic; they are moi.

last fall, the explosion must come
some time, and the patching up of the
weak places in the boiler will but
make the wreck more terrible when
it does come. Dr. Holmes wonderful
One.hoss shay" was built upon the very
principle of this deposit guarantee
scheme; the clever deacon saw that
the weakest part must stand the

to do was

To make that part as strong's the rest.
But the consequence, as all good Am.
orleans know, was not to nuke the
shay last forever, but to cause 1t to
disappear all of sudden, Just as
bubbles do when they burst"
But this is by no means the most
serious objection to the guarantee
scheme. The vital trouble with it is
that 1t strikes at the very roots of the
business of banking. In degree far
beyond any other business, The sue.

qualities of prudence. firmness and
