What CONSUMPTION Costs.

1t is a difficult matter to reduce such
thing to dollars and cents, but Prof
Irving Fisher Of Yale in paper befur4

it out that the dread disease consump-
ton costs the people Of the United
States about ST, 900, 900 600 a year. So h.
asks whether it might not be best to
invest, say. five times that sum in the
campaign against the plague and by
this means begin right away to save
money at the rate of $3.50, 600 a year
He also I uts the question of profit and
loss in another form. According To his
estimate. tuberculosis is killing l3S, 600
persons a year in the United States

The Guaranty Of Bank Deposits.

The crazy Oklahoma scheme for the
guaranty of bank deposits which is in
corrorated in the platform upon which
Bryan is running for the presidency.
is jumped upon with both feet by the
great gathering of bankers from all
parts of the country now assembled in
national convention at Denver. This
deposit guaranty plan is one of the
many universal panaceas to which
Bryan has committed himself, but it is
noticed that he has less and less to say
about it as the campaign draws to a
close. The whole project simply puts
a premium upon reckless and dis
honest banking methods and would tax
the profits of all the honest bankers of
the country to pay the losses of the
dishonest and negligent ones. Ac-
cording to the Bryan scheme the more
prudent and successful the bank the
more it would have to be taxed
II was said that this deposit guar
anty Plan would win many votes for
Mr.. Bryan in the West, but it is to be
noticed that in his speeches Judge
Taft has vigorously attacked this
plank in the Democratic platform and
that he has no difficulty in demonstrate
ing that it is wholly at variance with
sound financial and economic princi-
pies The principle is the same as if
all the railroads Of the country were to
b" held by law responsible for the
payment of the bonds of any or all the
railroads, and so on to every other
class of securities sold, even to the
paper of wildcat mines. 1t is the same
principle as if all American merchants
were to be held responsible for the
business failure for any reason what
ever, of those among their number who
yearly go to the wall. The BRYAN
sophistries regarding the national
bank Insurance are on a par with the
free silver folly, the anti-imperialistic
folly, the government ownership folly
and the various other issues which
the Nebraska Populist has adopted and
discarded from time to time in his at
tempt to win office

The Enforcement of the Pure Food
Laws

IN his able address before the inter
hatiohal Congress on tuberculosis
Secretary Wilson called attention t.
the great work which the United
states Department of Agriculture is
doing to combat the ravages of the
great white plague" by conducting a
vigorous campaign for the extermina =
ton of infected dairy cattle. He also
spoke of the present rigid inspection of
slaughter houses and their products as
one of the most important safeguards
of the present day against the spread
OF disease
In this statement of Secretary Will
son will be found a very conclusive an
sWer to those short-sighted critics who
have charged the government with do
criticism quite overlooked the impor-
tan: fact that one of the most
prolific sources of the spread of disease
exists in the food products consumed
by the people. Whatever. therefore
is done by the government to insure
the absolute purity of these products
contributes directly and powerfully to
the building up of the public health.
1t is a source of qualification to all
who have at heart the public welfare.
that, under the efficient direction of
Secretary Wilson, the provisions of the
pure food law are being vigorously and
impartially enforced. The day has
products upon the market can safely
undertake to swell his profits at the
expense of the public health.
