for clerical hire. And. moreover, the
prospect is that it will be carried on
without any material change in our gov
eminent machinery when the deposits are
hundreds of millions, and that at an ex-
pense which. in the light of its cost to
other nations, will be ridiculously small.
For the invention which has done away
with this enormous bookkeeping. Uncle
Sam is indebted to Mr. Frank Hitchcock,
his Postmaster General. 1t is an in
vention worth millions, for it is esti-
mated that it will save at least a million
dollars a year to the government. 1t
will certainly do away with the posi-
BILE employment of 1000 bOokkeeperS,
which even at as low a salary as $1,000
year would make an annual draft on
the Treasury Of $2.OO,O0O. and that in
addition TO other machinery which would
greatly add to the total. Mr.. Hitch
cock conceived the idea during his trip
to Europe last summer. He there saw
the complicated machinery of other ma
tions, the most of ii based on the sys-
tenn devised by Gladstone, which has
been adopted by forty other countries.
This was the use of the passbook which
in England meant the posting of the de-
post books of 1900 Offices and of keep
ing sets of books for them. 1t involved
the employment of 1000 clerks in Lon
liShment there. In our own country the
offices would surely be three times as
many as in Great Britain and they will
probably be JO.UU or GOG00 or more. To
handle them on the European system
was evidently very expensive. and Mr..
Hitchcock, in working over the matter.
originated a plan whereby the accounts
would to a great extent keep them
selves, and that without mistakes.
This plan was the wiping out of the
passbook, and the issuance of drafts or
certificates of deposit. This has been
installed, and it is the present system.
The depositor hands in his money, but
in place of having credit made on a
bank book he is given a certificate OF
deposit for the amount he puts in.
The certificates are in the denomina-
tons of ST. 81. 81. $40. $50. $50 and 500,
and they bear interest at the rate of >
per cent per annum. They are neither
transferable nor negotiable. and are not
worth anything except in the hands of
the person buying them. They are
issued in duplicate. and the original and
duplicate must each bear the signature
of the depositor. The duplicate is re-
tanned by the postmaster, and if the man

SHERMAN and TAFT
PART COMPANY
Vice President Opposes the
Reciprocity Program

New York, Aug. S-James S. Sher-
man, vice president of the United
States, today gave his consent to the
publication of a letter addressed to
Wilbur F. Wakeman, general manager
and treasurer of the American Protec-
tive League, which those who have
already seen it assert will cause com
ment. 1t reads:
What you say in the article, il
seems to me, is very sensible. The
seeming trend away from protection
in my Judgment, is but temporary. Be
fore our people get back to the Old
moorings, however, we may be forced
through a period of depession. trust
that this trying experience will not be
required to awaken the American pep
pie to the monstrOus Importance to
them of the continuance, in a whole
some and adequate degree, of a wide
and non-sectarian protection to all Our
interests.
IF the people do not awaken to the
situation prior to the time the protec-
ton props are knocked from beneath
our economic structure, with the fall
of that structure will come a condition
painful though it be, which will, Us
heretofore, bring the people to their
senses and cause them to return tc
their old mornings with wonderful I'M
anmity, with great force and all the
haste possible under our constitution
al methods.

this seeming trend at the present, but
my hope for the future is optimistic

In this letter politicians today saw
the final line of demarcation be-

dent Sherman. 1t was said that the
letter would seem to render it inexpe-
dent for Mr.. Sherman to be consider :
ed as the running mate of President
Taft in the campaign of 1912. 1t is
regarded by some of Mr.. Sherman's
friends as possible that it might give
