DEPOSIT INSURANCE PLAN READY
From tn, Sunday Star
DEC. FL, 1888

With the advent of the new year, the
Federal Government will throw around
most of the banks OF the Nation q
formidable bulwark against that ter
rorizing enemy OF economic recovery
and financial stability bank run.
To the depositors gilmore than12 900
banks In every section OF the country
Uncle Sam on January will say, in
effect: "a depositor in a bank has a
right to his money, even though the
bank should close. The Government is
going to see that you get 1t by insur-
ing your deposit against loss by bank
failures"
Origlnators Of this ambitious plan
declare there now will be no need for
hysteria on the part OF customers OF
the insured banks, that scenes OF chaos
like those which made a nightmare oil
banking in February and March oil
1888 cannot occur again.
Rumor monRers will not be able to
start unnecessary panics by whisI err
ing that such and such bank cannot
meet its obligations To such rumors
the insured depositor may reply:
what of it? My savings in that
bank are guaranteed against loss by
the Federal Government. Let the bank
close il 1t wants to. know my money
is safe, whatever happens.'
