Postal "aTtnaa llaaks,
O'NEILLS Neb., Nov. 3.-To tha Editor
of Tha Bee: I request the courtesy of
space In your columns to reply to an edi
torial in tha Sunday Bee, entitled "Bryan's
I-ateat Financial Tanacea." In that edi
torial you take a stand In favor of postal
savings banks, and against a guaranty by
tha federal government of the deposits in
national banks, and by Implication you op
pose a guaranty by tha stats of tha de
posits In state banks. Tou contend that
the postal en vines bank Is all that Is
needed. Being one of the early advocates
of a postal savings bank, I take distinct
Issue with you upon your present conten
tion. This postal savings bank reform was one
of many first pushed forward by .tha popu
list rarty. Those of us who went Into
the movement end who helped to promul
gate Its principles from time to time, well
understood that It meant loss In a financial
way to every business and professional man
who entered It. It meant that wa should
i be struck at by powerful Interests, and to
many It even meant to a certain extent
social ostracism. We were denounced, and
wa knew In advance that we would ba de
nounced, as theorists, windbags, revolu
tionists snd anarchists. With a knowledge
of this, there would have been no object
In our entering tha movement unless we
were thoroughly convinced that our princi
ples were right. Our declarations were
not made as a mert matter of helping
some political party "out of a hole." They
were not mere catch phrases. Whatever
we declared was the result of painstaking
Investigation and deliberate Judgment. We
were for the postal savings bank for very
different reasons from those which actuate
the men who are now taking up part of
our principles. The men who today are
for postal ssvlnjcs tanks ore for It be
cause of the panic, and simply because
they are anxious to get the republican
party "out of a hole." Tha news articles,
the telegraphic correspondence and the edi
torials that L have seen on It, Indicate nn
utter lack of knowledge on the subject.
They are simply the writings of a lot of
politicians, who want "harmony" or any
thing else that may help tha "party."
Now let us get away from helping; the
party out of the very bad hole It la uni
versally admitted it la now in, and get
down to correct prlnclplea. Let us forget
the party and get down to the facts. Sup
pose you had tha postal savlnfrs banks to
day In operation, what would It mean? In
this panic every person who Is frightened
about his iank deposit would withdraw It
and put it In the poatal savings bank. That
means that It goes to tha national gov
ernment. The national government would
take the money and put It In the Wall
street banks to be used by stock gamblers,
Just as they have been doing. The admin
istration now has 1140,000,000 In favored
banks without Interest, and these banks
are collecting Interest on it at rates rang
ing from I par cent a year to more than
1C0 per cant in the lajrt' thirty days. In
stead of trying to help out the west and
south, that need money, tha administration
dumped additional millions into Wall street
basks. If they could now gather in more
millions by a postal savings bank system
they would dran the west and south if
additional millions and dump It Into Wall
street. And, Mr. Editor, If you Could tajk
as I have done during the last four weeks
with numerous country bankers you would
know that they understand It Just as it Is.
The postal savirfs bank Is now being
favored by a lot of financial buccaneers
who want to use It as a means to draw
money from the west and south and use It
for stork gambllnjr In New Tork and other
mnrey centers.
But the men who are honestly In favor of
a postal savings bonk, and who have been
for fifty yeais, had a very different Idea
and a different plan. With It we proposad
to build Irrlgatlun works; to Improve rivers;

poalal aavtnjrs banks, wbera tha paopla
could deposit their money at tnterwt, Wa
Intended that the money which tha govern
ment would recalva In them postal sarin gs
banks should ba used to pay for oonatruo
Hon of IrrtgaUon ditches; ta pay for rail
ways that might ba bought; to pay for Im
proving these railway,; to pay for building
new railways. In tha way money wo aid go
back to tha steel mills and pay labor there.
It would pay the lumbermen in tha mlJla
and the tlmbermen In tha woods. It would
pay tha men who worked teams and tha
laborers engaged In raJUpad construction.
By these means the money received in tha
postal savings banks would go back into
the channels of business. Wa never in
tended that it should ba used aa a means
to gather up money in the west and south
and turn It over to stock gamblers In Wall
street. Lndor our system a postal savings
bank would ba a blessing. Under the sys
tem now proposed It will not accomplish
what the men who originated and made
popular the Idea Intended It should be.
When we proposed to gather In tha people's
money In poatal savings banks and use It
to build railways and irrigation ditches. It
was regarded aa anarchlatlc. But now,
when the Wall street gamblers want It, the
administration endorses It as sound finance.
Tha facts herein set forth Illustrate the
difference between those who seek to estab
lish a system for the good of the people
and a lot of financial pirates whose busi
ness it Is to plunder the public.
As to the guaranty of deposits. It is not
worth while discussing it I have discussed
the postal savings banks because not so
many will understand the "Ethiopian In the
wood pile" !n that. But as to guaranty of
bank deposits, I leave that to the ordinary
depositor and the country banker. I have
talked with enough of them to know what
they think about it and they don't need any
education on that subject. They are going
to rally around Bryan on this question In
greater numbers and with more enthusiasm
than the people rallied around Andrew Jack
son In his fight against the United States
bank. They are going to get behind Bryan
and establish a financial system that will
cut the west and south loose from Wall
street. This may not be very palatable to
the leaders of the republican party and the
corporation democrats, but the directions
say "take It." M. F. HARRINGTON.
Inflation, Cowfldeac and Credit.
OMAHA, Nov. 28.-TO the Editor of The
Bee: Kindly allow me to reply to a private
question in a publto way. It is this: How
does a redundant currency cause- Inflation?
Tha answer Is, that whenever the volume
of the currency Is so large that it can
not he absorbed into the channels of legiti
mate business, it Immediately begins to get
In Its deadly work of unduly Increasing
values, prices and the cost of living. Those
who own or control this excessive quantity
of currency cannot allow It to be Idle. It
must ba put to work. It must be kept busy.
As I recall It, the word currency comes
from a termtnatlve which means "to run."
And then begins another phase of inflation.
which Is not merely an inflation of prices
and values. It begets an Inflation of confi
dence and credits between lender and bor
rower which superinduces, with the cer
tainty of the law of gravity, wild specula
tion, reckless expenditure, extravagance of
living and waste. With the same unerring
certainty comes, sooner or later, collapsed
confidence, vast contractions of credit and
business, and what General Sherman called
war. It Is my opinion that the general
ruin will be in precise proportion to the
expansion of confidence and credit to
which this redundant currency haa led.

Glaring misrepresentations of the finan
cial conditions In tha want and middle west,
by New tork business bouses and finan
cial writers, will be resented by the bank
era of tha west If they act together by
transfertng many accounts from New. Tork
to Chicago.
This la the opinion of A. N. Bntterworth
of Denver, who stopped In Omaha Wednes
day to Inquire into Omaha conditions be
fore going on to Chicago.
One of the many things which has ransed
the west to resent the attitude of New
Tork, Is tho "money chart" published by a
New Tork financial paper, which attempts
to show the effect of the money panlo In
different parts of the country and declares
that the western and middle states are hard
hit. A map of tha United States Is shown
with dark, light and gray circles. The
black circles Indicate great ecsrclty of
money and plao-s where script and clear
ing house certificates art In clrculstlon,
business Is said to be "much afTected" In
cities where the New Tork financial author
ities place the black spots.
Nerve of tha Old Woman.
To the surprise of the western bankers
big black spots as large as half tha state
have been placed over Denver, Omaha, Chi
cago and over all the coast cities. Around
about New Tork, there are grey spots,
which Indicate "curren-'y scarce business
beginning to feel the restriction," while the
white spots are numerous through the state
of New Tork and throughout the New
England states. The white Indicates "Si ght
effects of the panic felt." '
"Such a map claimed to reflect the situ
ation In any way, Is absurd," said an
Omaha banker. "It Is an Injustice to the
west and I am Inclined to think Ex-Beere-tary
Shaw Is right when he says New Tork
financiers are losing friends in the west."
The feeling Is even more Intense In Den
ver according to Mr. Butterworth, who la
connected with several trust companies.
"The Denver business men feel it due to
New Tork that the western accounta be
withdrawn from New Terk after the recent
trouble has subsided and placed with Chi
cago banks. Ths American Smelting and
Refining company haa helped keep the gold
going in Denver, depositing lare amounts
with the United States mint in bullllon, se
curing gold coin In payment and distribut
ing it among Its employes."
"New Tork has Its nerve," says an
Omaha banker, "when It was the cause and
starter of all this trouble and now comes
whining and trying to lay the onus on
other cities. But for the gamblers of Wall
street there never would have been a
flurry."
CASH PRIZES FOR FOWLS

Through the Industry of a soliciting com
mittee the Trl-Clty Poultry associa
tion will be able to offer over tCCO In spe
cial cash prizes at the poultry al.ow. which
will be held in Omaha from- December 30
to January 4, The committor was un

will be that prises can be offered whloh
