STOP THE GAMBLING.

Six months ago prosperity and development un-
paralleed in any age or country eliminated III
such volume of business that the railroads were
unable to handle it, and the demands for cur
rency drained the bank reserves to point where
collapse ensued. Former Secretary of the Treas
ury Leslie M Shaw said in recent address:
Universal prosperity and the sudden acquisition
of wealth wrought sad havoc with business morals
Love of power whetted by indulgence had led ir-
resistably to financial methods in some instances
most reprehensble." Speculation had undermined
and displaced legitimate business in it's demands
on the currency, and the contraction and partial
paralysis ensued.
But the worst is past. The exports for the past
three months exceed those of any like period in
the history of the nation and mainly from it's
farms r. G. Dun & Co. say: Sentiment is more
cheerful because of good weather for farm work
and higher prices for securities Many manufac-
turing plants have increased forces and espe-
cally the factories that supply farming imple
ments and the canning industry" Several measures
are before Congress to prevent the recurrence of
such disastrous but needless experience by
stricting the sale of futures" in farm products
and stocks and by eliminating the widespread
gambling transactions therein. This is praise
worthy effort. 1t is not an untried experiment.
Germany has had eleven years experience in
this work with good results The essential feature
of the German law is prohibition of dealing
margin in futures of mining and factory
Stocks grain mill products, with penalty of
fine and Imprisonment. All stocks and bonds must
also be examined and approved by government
committee before admission to sale on a bourse
All prices are fixed by a governing committee, and
no tickers nor tips allowed. Some similar law
would simplify American conditions materially.

shut? And still bankers are the only ones
who are opposing Postal Saving Banks the only
ones who preventing our having them, who
will doubtless kill the measure proposed by our
own government for the safety of our own people,
eff they wish to honestly prevent these great
national savings banks that will bind the common
laborer, to his money and to his country at the
same time, there is just one fair thing for our
bankers to do, and that is to club together all
those banks they can trust themselves, and by a
very light assessment absolutely insure every
depositor in them. Then who would withdraw
money from the banks at the least furry of close
times? Who would advocate Postal Savings
Banks, and who-and here is the one great thing
we are after-would refuse to lay by few dollars
against sickness, dull times or other misfortunes?
"Who are to blame, would like to ask, but
these very who uniting to oppose Postal
Savings Banks that a demand for them is in the
very air and that panic and ruin threaten our
country every now and then because our people
fear their banks and withdraw their money? Is 1t
unfair when we ask that these men make us safe
or keep hands off and permit us to make ourselves
safe?'

SAVINGS INSTITUTIONS.

Propositions before Congress pertaining to
banks for savings include two important subjects.
First to establish Postal Savings Banks; second,
to create guaranty fund to give greater security
to existing institutions. On this topic contem-
porary ably says:
"What an incentive to saving, and what saw
ing and element of safety to the country to have
our working people safe and deeply interested In
their country's stability! To be sure, most al
most ALL of our banks perfectly safe now, but
how many know it, particularly among the very
class we want to reach? How many bankers them
selves know the banks that are absolutely beyond
doubt safe how many know beyond all question
that their own banks will never be compelled to
close their doors?
eff there is but one unsafe bank in America,
in times of panic they all unsafe, so far as
frightened depositors concerned, and why
should they not be when bankers themselves cam
not point out the unsafe bank until its doors are

THE FARMER AS A PANlc-BREAkER.

THE FARMER AS A PANlC-BREAkER.
Our nation is at this juncture awarding itself
large measures of self-congratuaton over the way
it is recovering from the recent financial panic.
Our sound business and financial institutions have
become source of great pride, and J. Pierpont
Morgan and James Stillmans own magazines are
Mailing them as the financial saviors of the coun-
try because of the way they stepped in during the
crisis on Wall Street and helped out their fellow
hghbinders. A more fundamental and compre'
hensive consideration of the situation, however,
induces one to believe that the great American
farmer had somewhat to do with it.
Only few months ago, money for commercial
purposes was commodity at premium. Hoarded
by panic-stricken depositors on one hand and
panic-fearing bankers the other circulation ran
low and badly in need of being Immediately
replenshed. This was not to come from the hoard
ers for they destroy confidence but never halp
restore it,. Confidence had to be restored in
more fundamental and conclusive way. Other
money must return to it's wonted channels Through
the medium of commerce and industry before the
boarding money would out of hiding.
A hundred millions was imported by steam
ship from Europe Other large sums were de-
posted in the banks by the government But
these were only temporary measures. 1t was up
to the farmer to restore to real pros
perity.
Gradually, during the past five or six months
the great crops OF the country consisting OF Wheat
corn cotton fruits and many other commodities,
have been marketed in this and foreign countries
serving not only to disseminate vast sums of
money throughout every section of our own coun
try but to establish new foreign credits and form
the nucleus for tremendous gold importatons
Millions of farmers in every state in the Union
especially in the Western States, have added
hundreds of millions to their individual wealth as
the result of a crop aggregating in value over
seven and half billions dollars.
Financial reviews were telling few months
ago of the immense relief afforded by the gold I'M
portations from Europe made by the bankers. But
the total of these so-caed vast gold importations
seems small indeed compared with the total gold
importations which the farmers have been making
Of course portion, large portion of this seven
and half billion dollar crop was marketed in
America. But this matters not. 1t was SO much
wealth added to- the Golfers of the American farm
ers who are the backbone of our commerce, our
transportation our industry and even our c1t
zenship And these farmers have been realizing
on an agricultural production great that 1t has
scattered to every part of the nation an amount
just about seventy times great as the entire
gold importations made from Europe to ease the
financial strngency. &c. while the country eulo
gizes j. p Morgan Secretary Cortelyou and others
stay the panic and restore prosperity, they must
not forget the American farmer, who has done
more than all the fnancers put together
