THE DEMOCRATIC FINANCIAL
ACHIEVEMENT

In no department of the govern
ment has the democratic administra-
ton made greater achievements than
in its management of the finances.
1t overshadows ah former financier-
ing and notwithstanding the heavy
drains made upon the treasury no
panics have occurred.
While one hears on nearly every
hand Outgivings of the prophets Of
disaster, it is most gratifying to learn
from high official authority that the
banks OF the United States are great
er, stronger and more numerous TO
day than ever befOle.
Comptroller of the Currency Will
liams recently reported to congress
on this matter, saying that the banks
of the country have proved themselves
fully equal to the enormous strain
and burden put on them by the task
of financing the world in time Of
stress and demands unprecedented in
history While doing this they have
won for themselves growth and pros
perity heretofore unknown.
Immediately from failure breaks all
records for this country, or any other
in the fiscal year ending October. 81,
1919, among 1000 national banks there
was not one failure involving loss TO
depositors. From 1874 to 1914 the av
erage failures of national banks in
vOlving such losses were II year.
In 1914 there were s.; in 1915 there
were 5; in 1916 and 1917 there were ,
each year: in 1918 there was on fail
ure: in 1919 none.
The resources of all national banks
on November II. 1919, were $22,444,-
992, OO0-an increase of $2,623, 5SS, 900
over the corresponding call of the pre-
ceding year. The increase in resourc-
es of the national banks of the Unit
ed States in the six years since 1913
is $11, 5S5 900, 900, or 107 per cent.
In the II months ending June 80
1919, the gross earnings of the ma
tional banks, which are under super
vision of the comptroller. were $780,
76O, 900, and their net earnings $240,
3GC. 900 The net earnings for the
year ending July l, 1914 were S140,-
27O.171 Therefore the increase for
1919 over 1914 is $91 ,015.S19, the in
crease in these five years exceeding
by S4,491,77S the increase which took
place in the 40 years proceeding 1914.
The banking power of the country
is represented by capital surplus, de-
posits and circulation of all banks, as
of June 80. 1919, was $45,756,OOO.OOO
an increase over the year before of
S6.G73.O0O 900 This makes the pres
ent banking power of the United
States nine times what it was in 1880
thirty years ago. and three times tn :
total banking power of the world of
that year.

Static Causes the Cotton Gin Fires.

The great number of fires takins
place in the cotton gins of the south
have been generally attributed to
matches getting into the cotton either
accidentally or maliciously, but this
has been disproved by the investiga-
tors of the agricultural department,
who have vindicated the match. They
put hundreds Of matches into the
cotton and then watched the results
and there were only few outbreaks
and those were in the huller and not
in the gin. Other experiments prove
beyond all doubt that fires in the
gins are caused by static electricity
which is very marked at certain sea-
sons Of the year when the atmoepher-
