pem, but in American newspapers
generally published in foreign
tongues.
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States, withdrawn from our circula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. Omaha World-Herald.

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."
