I appear In the Congressional Record
with a house speech In support of his
i bill which provided for guuiiitilee of
bank deposits. He specially answered
the assertion that such h guarantee
would Induce reckless banking, say
Ing: "Mr. Chairman, we are occasionally
met with the statement that guarantee
or deposits would lead to unsound
banking. Can you think of a
banker, because he had Insured his de
posits, going Into the directors' room
and saying: 'Gentlemen, we have In.
mired our deposits today. Now let ns
piocecd to make some rotten loans?'
"Is it not possible that It will occur
to those directors that- their losses
must come out of their profits, out of
their rvserves, out of their capital, and
out of their reputations' Will the
not realize that they can get noth'ng
out of the guarantee until the last dol

holders have been assessed double the

money
In tiut, and has Indicated the exact
means whereby, under a guarantee
law, bankers would do as now they do
niHlntP.lii an association empowered
to look sharply Into tlnaneiul concern
which seem to be departing from
sound methods.
Hi reference to Uie John R. Walsh
failure in Chicago was doubtless be
cause It was known to the country
gtucrally, having been given wide pub
Hetty nnd therefore most likely to at
tract attention as an illustration
However, there is scarcely a locali
ty wherein bankers lu late years have
not gone under toppling banks and up
bld theni by guaranteeing deposit
wholly or lu part. In order to help in
the tpielllng of popular distrust and
the undermining of confidence in all
bauklng Institutions.
No Delay for llepohltoi-tf.
It i quite- apparent that under
rourantee of deposits tbeie would be
no alurttlnn of conditions affecting
bsnks now, so for as concerns etploa
are. maintained -by-one over another.
The Important difference, however,
would be that depositors would not b
subject to the annoying, often disas
trous, delays In getting their money
which now they experience when
banks fall.
Hut, that fewer failures would oc
cur surely would be one iif the re
sults of HUcfi a law. Everyone knows
Hint many runs are prccpltatcd on
bnnks which arc absolutely sound.
Many n man, faithful, safe, conserva
tive, conscientious in caring for the
money of his depositors, hns suffered
runs caused by some rumor started
through niallcc. Mnny an honest
banker has hnd bin heart broken by
senseless runs, and lias groaned In
spirit as be realized that gross Injus
tice has been clone na reward for ear
nest and able keeping of the trust r
poed In hlni by his depositors.
The DarliiK Failure.
When a dozen years ago. Raring
Tirol hers, of London, suspended, It was
due to that very esplonngc by other
bankers to which Mr. Ooge refers.
The (tarings had embarked In many
Kortb American enterprises, some f
which were manifestly unsafe.
The governors of the Hank of Eng
land, sensing the danger, refused to
accept securities backed by them as
unfit for the Issuance of bank notes
under the custom of that country; that
action never tius been adversly criti
cised In any country, although It has
been discussed ever since the world
over.
Modern busbies Is conducted on the
basis for the Issiuincc of bank notes
tie nctual money passes from hand to
baud.
Modern System of Credits.
'ou go to your bank with a bundle
of checks nnd drafts nnd deposit thorn
to your credit. Agninst that account
thus opened, you draw checks. They
pass Into the world of business, are
accepted at face value, ' and circu
late virtually ns does gold, silver and
currency. If you pay your bills In
checks, often you pass through weeks
at a time when you have only a trifle
of loose change In your pocket for
street car fare nnd the small things
you ncctl from day to day costing too
little to bother to draw a check.
"A check cancelled is a voucher,"
has become a maxim In the business
world.
Complications of the System.
This complicates business and forces
all banks to associate themselves In
clearing houses, nnd probably I ho pub
lic would be ama.zed were they to
know at times how sharply the clear
ing house committee looks Into meth
ods employed by Its members.
In the panic that begun last October,
funds were carried from bank to bank,
taken ostentatiously through the front
doors, that depositors might know that
other banks believed In the- soundness
of the institution which had been at
tacked by a run, and performed al
most every essential of the guarantee
system.
Why?
Simply because the modem business
t.ystciii Is so complicated and so little
actual money passes current that ench
bank must know that the others are
properly safeguarding themselves and
nlso that they are permitting the car
rying of accounts by depositors whose
paper may always be depended on us
worth face value.
Heneaili i he Surface.
So beneath the surface, one could
witness the clearing bouse associa
tions examining collateral, securities
and assets, and often serving notice
on a given bank Hint the nssociat.on
will require some change In methods
on penalty of refusal longer to clear
for that bank.
Hanks Out of the AkkoHhIIoii.
How about banks uot in the associa
tion? Many perfectly sound bank are
not dliectly In the clearing house.
They clear through another bank
which does belong.
Precisely the same rule applies to
them, for, when need arises, the aso
elation erves notice on the member
bank which clcais for the non-association
bank as to what will have to
be done; and it Is done promptly, too,
In every Instance.
Hank-nook Should He Worth I "ace.
The essence of the guarantee plan Is
that a bank book should be worth its
face always An entry lu n pass book
should not constitute the assumption
of a risk by the depositor and the giv
ing of wide latitude to the banker.
Such entry should be iecognlcd as
Just as actual an asset as a bank note.
Also, proper ariaugements must be
made for the continued espionage of
bank by other hanks.
Lastly, and quite as important,
fiauklug laws must be enforced, over
certlticatinu must be stopped; loaning
of funds in national banks on obvious
ly speculative schemes must cease;
and other reforms must be wrought to
Invest the banking system of the
country with that complete confidence
-nhich. If Induced would put a stop
to all nervousness bv depositors

April 8, 1!X)S. In the bouse, as printed
In the Congressional Record, Repre
sentative David A. Ue Armond, of
Missouri, said:
"When the question Is nsked any
where In the country and It will be
asked why was not this measure
considered, why was not that meas
ure passed, why was not the other
measure brought up? there is one an
swer, and only one: Because the He
publican majority In this house willed
that It should not lie considered, should
not be brought up, should not be
passed. We can stand upon that rec
ord. It !s well known that there Is
pressure In the country, and very great
pressure, for the consideration and
pasf-nge of n number of Important
measures. It Is well known that" a
large majority of the voting strength
of the country Is Insistent upon the
consideration nnd the passage of Im
portant measures. Do not, go to them
again, as you have done so often nnd
so successfully, and endeavor to de
lude them Into the belief that some
how you could not get consideration
for the measure and somehow you
could not pass It. You can have con
sideration, because you have the pow
er to enforce It; and, so far ns meritori
ous measures arc concerned, ns has
been demonstrated here more than
once nnd will be demonstrated again,
nnd abundantly demonstrated, you
have only to express the will, you hnvo
only to give the opportunity, nnd If
you lack the votes upon that side, as
you do not, there will be nn abundant
addition here."
Sherman Admits It.
The same day, replying, Mr. Sher
man said:
"The gentleman from Missouri In
timates that the Itepublican side of the
houe desires to do away with the roll
calls becauc of some fear of making
a record upon some question before
the houe. Mr. Speaker, the Republic

to accept fuil responsibility, not only
for everything tbnt Is done, but for

constitutional right to enact such leg

The Republican Party's Own Answtr.
In his address to the Republican na
tlonal convention, Temporary Chair
man Burrows referred to the Repub
lican victory In 1004, and then aBkod:
"In view of this indorsement, it be
comes pertinent nnd opportune to ln
quiro, what has the Republican party
dono In tho last four years of govern
ment control to forfeit public confi
dence or create distrust In Its capac
ity for future admlnis'xatlon?"
For this question the Rochester
(New York) Union and Advertiser
finds a striking nnswer. This Is th
answer which the Union and Adver
tiser takes out of the mouth of Sen
ator Burrows' own party ns stated In
the Republican Platform of 1896: "In
the broad effect ot Its policy It has
precipitated panic, blighted industry
and trade with prolonged depression,
closed factories, reduced work and
wages, halted enterprise and crippled
American production. Every consider
ation of public safety and individual
Interest demands that tho government
shall he rescued from the hnnds ot
those who have shown themselves In
cablo of conducting It without dis
aster." PUBLIC SALE
