Just before this issue was put to press an inquiry was wired Hon. Josephus. Daniels, National Commit
teeman from North Carolina, and Chairman of Publicity Bureau of National Committee, who has been at
Democratic Headquarters in New YorK for the last tea days. Mr. Daniels, from that vantage ground of ob
servation and intimate Knowledge, wired:
"Predict that Bryan will carry New YorK, Indiana and Ohio, and enough other States to give him the
majority in the Electoral College. The attempt to buy and intimidate this year will not succeed. Threat of
hard times cannot be effective after Republican panic, and.the attempt of the trusts to buy the election can
not succeed again. .
Tho Republican sueukcr

the laboring man. It ln'thc 'fuinL?!!

f big crops nnd high prlcos. and aik
that the Republican partv bo itlv,.n
credit for it. Does tho "Republican
aurty hold the cloud In tu hands" K
it scatter the rains in duo season?
I ocs it lurnwti the gunshliie and th
fertile Boil? It is acrileKe for theia
liepubllcan loaders to acclaim a credit
that belong to a bo erous heuvenl
Father.
Is Hepublkan legislation responsible

raiiadu farm product!) are as high, ana
more is no , liepuiiiiciiu party In
Canudu. In Kngland farm tirodu..iu
are as hlRli, and they have neither a
Republican party nor a liigli tariff
tin-re.
What bus the Republican parte dm..
for the benefit of tliu farmer? Not onn
thiiiK. Hut it has permitted the farmer
to be afflicted by "known abuses'' that
nave grown up under Republican vnlo
-the abuses that tho Rcpubllcun lcua
rs refused to remedy.
The farmer has suffered from tlm
extortion of the trusts: he 1ms suffer.
ed from the burden of high tariff; bo
has sufcred from the Insecurity of his
deposits, and he Bhares in the evil!
that follow from the growing estrange,
metit between labor and capital. V.x
travngiitiee in Federal appropriations
lessens his Income and he finds him
self unnecessarily taxed to support a
colonial policy in tho Orient.
Th farmers believe In the rule of
tho people, and this has been prevent
ed by the Republican lead'.-rs; tho
farmers believe In the e'ecyon of Sen
ators by popular vote: and this prop
osition V.UB defouteil in tho Republi
can convention; the farmers believo
in honest elections, as well as in honest
government, and they know that tho
Republican convention rejected tho
publicity plank. Mr. Taft underesti
mates the intelligence of the farmers
of the West, when he asks them to
accept tho Republican record of the
last eleven years as evidence of the
willingness of tho Republican party to
do justlco to thoso who till tho soil.

mass of Individual depositor;-; without
Mhos.- money the bunking biiHinewi
of this counliy could not nurvlve for
a sinule day. It l n practicable, fea
sible business proposition, the princi
ple of which is beltiK applied every
dav to almost every plume of busitiomi
and commercial life. A co-operative
plan bused on common sense, without
inns or nu i ssaiv friction, a plan thu.1
litis riveted the intention nnd won the
support of thousands ami hundreds of
thoiisa-iilu of the brainiest and mot
prominent int ti of all parties, and all
sections of the country, who rculizv
the fact that there is a urowinK de
mand for some pracilieal anil effective
method, the provisions of which i- ill
furnish siciiriiv In t hi; people who fur
nish nine-teiittis of the money upon
which tlv bunks of tho country Jo
l.m sim ss.
The lean proposed by Mr. Bryan
nnd embraced in the Denver platform
Is simple.- sensible, t-uunil.
Jt provides for a Riiaraiitee fund to
be raised hv a small tax on bunk de-po.-lts.
tt I.e ptiid by iho bankH and
lulu in the national treasury, and to
he used only for iv-imburidiiR the
depositor in case a bank should fail
or u bank otbeial should squander the
depositor's money.
That's al! then is in it. It simply
proposes to guarantee the depositor'
money, nnd if carried into effect it
will iio il.
Should the individual depositor he
protccton'.' W hv n"t'.' And why should
Iho banker be the only person itnd
the bank the only Institution that de
mand the use of the people's money
without m eiirityV
If the National (lovernmi-nt wants
nionev, arid it Ireiiuently iloen. it will
ijive to tiic man who furiiiMliea the
money I'nlt"d states bonds bearinn
interest as Heeurtty. Not even the
Kovel'iinielit imkH for the pr-npU-'a
money without security. If a railroad
company wantM your money it will
nlve you intercat hcarinff bonds be
cured by a mortRaue on Iha ruilroad.
If a cotton mill company wants your
money it will Rive you a ninrisawe on
its mill. If an individual wants your
money ho will- uive you as security
a mortii.'iKe mi his home with hV
wife's (tlRnntnre nttuehod, and if he
don't pay you buck, principal and in-terct-t,
the law provides that you may
sell the home and apply the proceedM
to the payment of the debt. And when
you come to' think about it who clso
beside the ' individual depositor con
nected whh our banking syetcm are
not protected or iimircd. ,
Ask the president of the luiuk If the
bank IntiidliiR. tliu turnituru and even
( he plate rIukm w indoiva ure insured,
..lid if be ia n. prudent man he will
tell you yew. Ask him if the bank of
ficial are retiuirud to furnish security
for the fait I Jul performance of their
duty -and he will tell jou that each
one of them ia required to furnish
Kjnd ui.il xullieieiit bonds for this pur
pose. Nor Is this requirement regard
ed us a reilection upon the banker's
character or ability. Ask hm if the
United 8tat?s government or the State
of North Carolina exacts security for
the deposits they carry in his ba,nk
nnd he will tell you yen. Ask him If
he keeps his own life insured and he
will most likely tell you ye. And
many of them V 111 tell you that thay
tarry burglary Insurance and you
would naturally conclude that every
thuiK and evi rviiotly around that
bank was pi. I. 'bit ami insured. Put
If von will Mfci, l. I'lvhn furtifuhes the
money upon ivh.. u bnnk . do-
LitMncfis and innlus , r i.., he will
I tell you that niin -leiiths of it is far
(nished bv the individual depositors.
Then ask him if these indiMdui. de
positors art; secured and he will nay
n, they uio not Insured; they tit
no security or guarantee.
Is that fair? Is it the correct prin
ciple. Is tt the wisest policy? Mr.
llryan says no, tin? Democratic party
says no. Every panic that happens
every money scare that occurs every
frightened dollar that's in hldim--;
every uneasy depositor they all, in
acclaim that Is loud and groivlin?
louder, say that It Is neither a cornet
principle or a wise policy. Kvery
clearliiR house certificate and every
cashier's check that went out upon
the financial Hurry a year aso was a
warniiiR that neither the principle or
the policy is mile, sound or fair.
Kvery declaration on the part of Mr.
Taft or any of the Republican leaders
in favor of postal savings hank or
other Rovcrnment method of currency
concentration is a wtirninK to busltn s-t
men, financiers and thu people every
where, that this diseased spot In our
financial system must have safe nnd
effective treatment, if a steady flow
of our currency Into Wall street nnd
other money centres is to bo averted.
And what's tho matter with the
method proposed by the Democratic;
party? It is practically the same
co-operative principle that the ie
sura mre company adopts to enable it
to pay the loss sustained by tho buiii
itiR of tho bank bulldiiiR. or the death
of the bunker whoso life la ins'ureil.
It's the same prlnclplu upon which
tho State raises a fund for the bud'l
Iiir of schools und educatitiR tho ch'l
dreii. weak and stronR allko without
discrimination. lo away with thn
prlnclplu of taxliiR tho stronR lor th"
benefit of tho weak and you woud de
stroy our system of government, boili
Stub- and national.
Hut Mr. Taft says it i.s a wild-eat
proposition. He did not say that until
he Rot close to New York. Out i"
