SCORES GUARANTEE OF DEPOSITS.

DENVER, Colo. Sept. 30.-Today the
regular business section of the American
Bankers association opened in the city
auditorium and the vast hall. which
echoed with the cheers of the Democrats
when in national convention when they
adopted a platform favoring guarantee
of bank deposits by national law o. If
this is impossible the establishment of
postal savings banks, witnessed 4 scene
of body of men. representing the
wealth of the nation, repudiatlns these
ideas as dangerous to the prosperity Of
the country.
The keynote was struck i'll the
speech of Col. j. d. Powers, president
of the association, who declared the
bank deposit guarantee was dangerous
faIlacy.
President Powers devoted practically
his entire time to the recent panic and
his opposition. to the proposition to guar
antee bank depositors, winch he said
would not have been heard of in the
present political campaign had there
been no financial panic
Of the panic he said that few fn0n-
cial storms occur without attending ben
ettS, frequently greater than the dlSaS-
ter wrought. The unhealthy conditions
that surrounded many banking institu-
| tons in New York required just such
heroic treatment to allay the money-mad
! fever which had possessed them.
Revise Currency System
"Now that the panic is behind us" he
said, let us look to the needs of the
present. Let us do this by calm and
diSpaSSionate examination into our gen
eral banking and financial policy and
especially our currency system
He did not believe this could he done
through the ordinary channels of mere
legislation. 1t must be the work of eX-

The president said he was we'll aware
| that many good men, at this time, with

party tie, believe that the guarantee Of

From the facts given in the official re
