MISR fcTIf K. KSTA TO.V.
Opposition of special Interests to the
proposed postal savings bank Is taking
the form of a campaign of misrepre
sentation. Letters, circulars and appeals
are being sent out from some source
that does not care to disclose Its Iden
tity with a view to manufacturing a
shower of -protests upon congress, de
signed to make the members believe
that the postal savings banks is ex
tremely unpopular. One of these an
onymous circulars reads as follows:
' At this point a letter to your congress
man Is In order. Write your senator also.
In all letters place special emphaals on the
fact that the business public will Buffer by
any scheme that turns money away from
the local community and tends to congest
It In the reserve centers.
The intention Is to persuade people
that there la some such dangerous
scheme covered up in the postal sav
ings bank measure, when nothing of
the kind is contemplated.
The postal savings bank measure
has been made the special order for
consideration in the senate for Mon
day, December 14, which explains why
people are being importuned to write
to their congressman and senators at
this time. Section 11 of the bill, as
reported back from the senate commit
tee, requires the postmaster general to
re-deposlt the funds at a higher rate
of Interest In national banks, and con
tinues: Such deposits shall be made In the na
tional banks In the states and territories
In which the funds are received and when
possible In the counties In which such funds
are received nnl, as far as practicable. In
the immediate vicinity of the place In
which the funds are scAfecelved. Where It
Is not practicable to deposit Such funds In
the counties, states or territories where
they are received they may be deposited In
the national banks at the nearest practica
ble ' point thereto, or Invested In state,
territorial or county or municipal bonds,
to be selected by the postmaster
general, with the approval of the secretary
of the treasury and the attorney general.
It goes without Baying, therefore,
that "every letter written to Washing
ton on the theory that the postal sav
ings hank is "a scheme that drains
money away from the local community
and tends to congest it in the reserve
centers" is based on deliberate mis
representation. The proposed postal
savings bank will send no more of the
money to reserve cepters than would
the deposit of the same money in the
local national bank. No congressman
nor Benator should permit himself to
be fooled by any protests sent him in
response to these misleading circulars.
A PROSPERITY FACTOR.
"The people who kept their heads"
are given credit, in an Omaha letter to
the New York Evening Post, for hav
ing contributed one Important element
to the certainty of a revival of com-.
mercla.1 .'-v activity and prosperity
throughout 'the' eouhtry. According to
the letter, tho western merchants be-
Lgau. retrenching a .year, ago, . when the
first signs of Industrial depression ap
peared in the east, and have since been
buying only for Immediate needs, using
up their surplus stocks and paving the
way for meeting obligations with the
jobbers and the bankers without caus
ing themselves any great embarrass
ment. As a result of this wise policy, the
counters of the country merchants are
practically empty. Stocks are away
below the normal basis and, with the
farmers receiving returns from their
crops, the demand has increased be
yond the available supply. Conse
quently the merchants are In the field
with liberal buying orders and the ef
fect Is being felt in the mills and job
bing houses of the east. The Mer
chants have practically no spring or
summer goods left over and orders for
these lines assure activity In all the
mills for the coming winter months.
The consumers have played their
part, t0. ,n this reduction of surplus
stocks. The generous buying In 1906
and the early part of 1907 had sup
plied the consumers with more unworn
clothing and other staples than the
west had ever before possessed. Dur
ing the last twelve months the family
buying has been light and the clothes
closets now need replenishing. This
makes 'the demand on the local mer
chant stronger and, with the crop re
turns in sight, or In the bank, and the
feeling that the depression In the east
has been permanently lightened, with
prospectgof being fully relieved, the
omnivorous west is buying again. wltb
the result that it is expected by mid
winter that trade will be more nearly
normal than It has been for a year.
.'DEPOSIT GUARASTT AyD POSTAL
SAVtXQS.
Supporters of the democratic plan
of guarantying bank deposits are giv
ing much attention to the story coming
from Oklahoma of the surprising in
crease in the deposits of a bank which
had surrendered its national charter
iu order to take advantage of the de
posit guaranty plan under the state
law. A stockholder, speaking of the
Incident, is thus quoted:
"About $25,000 came from the other three
banks, two of them nationals," he replied,
"and we received 118.000 from Missouri, Kan
sas and Arkansaa, sent here probably be
cause of the gua?anty law. Then for the
rest, look at this." He showed a package
of worn bills, all brought In by a farmer
well outside the town. "I know that none
of this waa ever In a bank since he gath
ered it little by little there la 114,00 in that
bunch."
Up in central Kansas lasl week a man
sold a farm and went early one morning
to deliver the dued. The firmer who was
the buyer eicused himself and went out
o tha barn: he waa watched and waa seen
to pkk a tin ran from a corner of the hog
lot and take from It I1.S00 In bills. I,and
agents aay the experience of receiving pack
ages of musty bills, evidently buried for a
time, la not unusual, indicating that large
sums are probably thus concealed among
the farming communities.
The effectiveness of the argument
supposed to be embraced in this state
ment Of conditions is destroyed by the
showing made by Postmaster General
postal j
Mever, that the adoption of the
savings bank system would furnish
facilities and attractions to these
money hoarders to place their savings
In the government postofflces. General
Meyer shows that there are 1.543 sav
ings banks In the union, with deposits
aggregating 3, 60,66S,945, but over
8 per cent of this great amount .is
contained in the savings banks of four
teen states, leaving less than 2 per cent
in the remaining states and territories.
The postmaster general accepts this as
evidence that there are now no ade
quate facilities for saving, and he con
tends that if the 61.000 postofflces In
the United States are designated as
postal savings banks, hundreds of mil
lions of dollars now hidden away In
trunks and in secret places will be
brought to the savings banks and thus
placed in circulation.
The postmaster general shows that
in the last year money orders, payable
to the purchasers themselves, were
bought to the amount of $8,104,447.
The purchasers of these orders paid
fees to the amount of $25,000, simply
to feel safe In their possession. Money
orders to the value of $100,000,000
were also bought during the year and
sent to foreign countries, most of It
representing the savings of foreign
worklngmen who are familiar with the
postal savings bank system In their
own countries and who have confidence
in no other security. The adoption of
the postal savings system would end
all question among the timid of the
safety of their deposits and would place
millions in circulation that are now In
hiding. The adoption of the plan Is
more Important than any untested and
untried guaranty deposit plan that hat
yet been proposed.
S HOWlO' A M1SSOVRIAN.
Champ Clark of Missouri, congress
man, lecturer, statesman and democrat,
woke up the wrong passenger the other
day when he'began quizzing Mr. A. F.
Call of California on the tariff ques
tion, at the hearings before the ways
and means committee. Mr. Call 'v had
been explaining that the duty on' fruits
should be retained and that California
fruits would be driven from the mar
kets If they were brought Into compe
tition with the citrus fftllts from coun
tries where the scale of. wagea is very
low. Then this conversation ensued:
Mr. Clark How long have you been In
the fruit business in California?
Mr. Call Twelve years.
Mr. Clark Has the cost of production In
creased or diminished?
Mr. Call The cost has Increased,
Mr. Clark What made it Increase? -:
Mr. Call The Increase In the price of la
bor. Mr. Clark Have you ever mado a study
of the proposition that there ever would
come a time when the' California fruit In
due try would become self-sustaining with
out, a. protective lerur; ana so, wnenr
Mr. Call There will be one time when
they will have to do It, and onlje one, and
that Is when the democratic party comes
In and wipes out the tariff and the cost of
labor is reduced to 25 cents a day. (Laugh
ter.) Mr. Clark You think that is an answer?
Mr. Call I think that Is a square answer.
That Is the only time it will come when
the cost of labor is reduced to 26 cents a
day.
- Mr. Clark I think It was Sn impertinent
kind of stump speech.
Mr. Call I do not think so.
Mr. Clark The theory of protection as
propounded by Henry Clay was that It pro
tected infant Industries and the time would
come when they would get to be self-sustaining.
.Do you think the time will ever
come when me caiirornia iruu industry
shall stsnd on its own legs without protec
tion? Mr. Call Never until the labor cost Is re
duced to the level of Europe.
Mr. Clark You have got to keep up this
thing always, then?
Mr. Call Yes; unless you want to pay
labor -o centa a day.
Mr. Clark Do you pay the Chinese and
Japs as much as tha American labor?
Mr. Call No, sir; IS cents less.
Mr. Clark Everybody uses Japs who can?
Mr. Call No, sir: nobody uses them who
can get along without them.
Congressman Clark Is faced with the
proposition that always rises up to
haunt free trade democrats when they
seek to put their attractive theories
into active practice. When such ef
forts are made it is usually found that
the protective tariff system enables
American growers and manufacturers
to pay American wages and continue
in business with a fair profit to them
selves. It js also usually shown that the
first effect of the reduction of a tariff
on an article on which a protective
tariff is needed Is felt by the working
man. Even a free trade democrat like
Mr. Clark will hardly be willing to see
the developing citrus fruit trade of Cal
ifornia wiped out by forcing it into
competition with growers who have the
financial advantage of the beggarly
wages paid the Italian peasants and
the West Indian peons.

' Indianapolis News. '
president-elect Taft draws a line be
tween the duties and limitation of - a
president-elect and a president, as far aa
politics are concerned. That Is a correct
view of the case. A president-elect may
do many things In the way of suggestion
or action which the president of the whole
country, and therefore nonpartisan, may
not do. One -of Mr. Taft's auggestlons. It
is understood, is that the house commit
tee on rules be elected by the members of
the house instead of appointed by the
speaker, and that its membership consist
of thirteen or fifteen. Instead of five aa
now. It Is thought this plan would tend
to make the rules more liberal and less
arbitrary. It certainly would be a cur
tailment of the power of the speaker.

OTHER LAI THAN OIR.
The strained condition of public senti
ment In Germany and England afford op
portunities for alarmists and advocates of
militarism to secure attention. Whether
the ratiaes operating to produce the pres
ent tension were designed or accidental. It
Is clear they are working most effectively
In promoting military and naval expansion
and in diverting public attention while
measures of Increased taxation are being
put through the legislative mills. Note
how the tension helps the administration
policies In both natlrns. Germany's an
nounced policy of creating a liu-go naval
fleet, estimated to cost half a billion dol
tare, or Iinn.OOO.OOO eoh year, for the next
five yesrs, brought the British prime min
ister Sn enlarged definition of Great
Britain's two-power naval standard. Mr.
Asqulth announced that the standard
meant a navy equal to the two next high
est nsval powers, with TO per cent added
for goo) measure. The German Reichstag
answered the rhnllcngo by voting to In
crease the coming year's naval budget
from lioo.non.000 to $115,000,000, an Increase
of 15 per cent agalnnt Britain's 10 per
cent. In the midst of this naval rivalry,
with national pride electrified, General
Lorrf Roberts, former commander-in-chief
of the British army, chose an opportune
moment to exploit his army defense
scheme In the House of lxirds. In his
opinion the navy is not to be relied on as
an effective defense Rtralnst Invasion. To
bo sure. It would help some, but com
plete safety ran be had only with R hemo
army of 1,000,000 men, trained and equipped
to drive Invadors back Into the sea. lytrd
Roberta' plan, whlclf the peers commended
to the Commons, would mean the adoption
of the continental system of universal
military service, a policy which has not
found favor In England. Thus, through
the fog on tioth aides of the North sea
may be felt, if not seen, the clever hands
which press the alarm buttons with the
forefingers while the remaining fingers
press buttons on the taxpayers.

The statement of Trince von Bttelow,
mado In the Reichstag recently, that
France had become the world's banker, is
Confirmed by Edmund Thery's work,
"Econnmle Progress of France." Just pub
lished In Purls. For nearly a quarter of
ft century, it appears, France has been re
ceiving from abroad a good deal more gold
than It has paid out. Even since 1000 It Is
estimated through a most careful calcula
tion that the Bank of France's reserve
fund must have been Increased by $580,
000,000. But some of M. Thery's other dis
coveries nre much mere Interesting. The
tremendous national debt of more than
$5,000,000,000 is held almost entirely Irmlile
the country, paying S per cent to the hold
ers, while In addition the Investing pub
lic, which may be said to Include the whole'
population to a greater or less degree, has
more than $5,000,000,000 more placed in the
national debts of other countries, such as
Turkey, Greece, Spain, Italy, Brasll. Bel
glum and RussIr. The total wealth of the
country IS estimated at 450,000,000.000 francs
($00,000,000,000), divided with more equality
among the inhabitanta than is the case
In any other country. Nearly 300,000 per
sons have $15,000 each, nearly 2,000,000 pos
sess $2,000 each, while 4,000,000 have $1,000

The recent message of King Edward,
conveying royal greeting and assurance
of remedying native grievances. Is received
by the press of India in a spirit correspond
ing to the political tendencies of the edi
tors. - Some of the native journals praise
it loyally, others extend 'to It a rather
chilly greeting, while some criticise It
bitterly. The' Katrika of Calcutta says the
people undoubtedly enjoy the affection of
the royal house, but, at the same time, the
deplorable truth need not be concealed that
the country is deteriorating fast under
British rule. It adds: "The late empress
ought either to have assumed direct gov
ernment or granted a constitution. At
present the country Is at the mercy of Its
servants."- The Bengali says: "It would
be affectation to say that the jubilee has
left the country happier or more cheerful.
What is moat disappointing Is that the mes
sage holds out no hope of the reform propo
sals being really useful. La us assure 'he
king's advisers on behalf of our people

The Sandya says: "The king can "cheat ua

for relief of the unemployed, Mr. Burns
detailed what the government was doing

folly of workmen appealing for help from
the government whenever Industries slack

said, turned out In 1907, more ships than
