The banks of Europe, by promis ing safety, absolute safety, to tho thrifty emigrants who have gone to make their homes in this country, are enabled to induce them to send their earnings their savings, back to the fatherland for safekeeping. Tho money is drained out of the United States, withdrawn from our circula tion, and keeps traveling across tho ocean to the banks oX Sweden and other European countries. Would it not .-be well to keep this money at home, right here in the United States, where there is need for it? Why is it sent to Europe? Manifestly, because of a lack of complete confidence in the, American banks. Those with money to de posit are afraid, many of them, that if they deposit their money in this country they can not get it when they want it. They are afraid of bank failures, and tho loss of their money. .; If our bank deppsits were guaranr teed this money wouid hot be sent to Europe. It would, stay at home and be deposited iu our own banks. Still, other money, that is hoarded, hidden, would also be deposited. This money so deposited would bo available for the needs of commerce and industry. It would help make better 'business and abetter times. Tho cost to the banks, based on the experience of more than forty years, would be only a very small fraction of one per cent annually. The profit would be security for the banks for they would be freed from the spectre of bank runs; se curity for the depositors, and secur ity for business. Panics and the fear of panics would be avoided, and we would have more money to trans act business with. On the face of it there is some thing radically wrong with Our bank ing system when thirty-three Swed ish, banks advertise for American de positors in one issue of a newspaper published in Chicago, in the heart of the American continent and thou sands of miles removed from Sweden. The democratic party proposes to cure this defect, t$ make our banks as sound and safe as the banks or any country in the world, by the simple, inexpensive expedient of guaranteed deposits.

YOU CAN LIVE LONGER AND EARN MORE IN COLORADO TltB COMPETITION QF SWEDEN Tho jittoiitlon of tlie World-jner-aia has been directed by A. T. Ben son of the Omaha business firm of Benson & Thorne, to a recent Issue tit a Swedish newspaper published in Chicago. Tho name of the paper is "Gamla och Nya Hemlandet" the Old and New Homeland, literally translated. The issue is that of August 11, last Tho Hemlandet has a large general circulation among American citizens of Swedish birth throughout the country, and particularly in the western and cen tral states. On page 3, of this newspaper, are three solid columns of advertise ments of Swedish banks soliciting deposits. These advertisements are, rrom unny-three banks. These are not Swedish banks in the United States, but in Sweden. These banks, in their advertise ments, place emphasis on the fact tnat an deposits made with them are absolutely safq. There are advertisements of banlca in Stockholm, Gefle, Goteborg, Xiulea, Sundsvall, Lund, Falun, and many other Swedish cities and towns. The World-Herald asks its read ers to think it over. " What does it mean wKen banks In far-off Sweden send their adver tisements to newspapers In this country, and pay to have them pub lished, soliciting citizens of the United States to send their money to Sweden for safe-keeping? Those advertisements would not be published unless they were profitr auio; mat is, unless they got the business. They are published, we are informed, not alone in the Hem landet, and other Swedish newspa- MR. BRYAN IN IOWA Cedar Rapids, Iowa, October C. I present myself as an example of one who has outlived the venomous attacks of his opponents. You heard me called a demagogue twelve years ago. You saw them bury me and you heard them, chant ' their '"songs over my grave, and now they have ,to explain why It happened that I was not dead." With all the fervor that he could muster up W. J. Bryan,, facipg a vast assemblage in the Chautauqua auditorium between Tama and To ledo in this state, today delivered himself of this utterance. At no time during tho present campaign has he spoken so earnestly or with such vigor. His remarks followed a bitter denunciation of Taft for re fusing to agree to a publication of campaign contributions before elec tion. No honest man and no politi cal party conducting an honest cam paign,' he declared, ''need be afraid of the light." (Continued on Page 14) ITO-NIGfl'T 8 o
