BEST CURE FOR PANICS.
SUte Treasurer Folk of Tenn
essee Shows How Guaran
teeing Bank Deposits Will
Protect the Depositors,
Tettd Prevent Panics and
Demoralization of Public
Confidence It Will Be a
Blessing Also to Banks and
Will Prevent Concentration
of Money in the Big Centers.
Chicago, HI., September.
Mr. R. E. Folk, State Treasur
er of Tennessee, who was in Chi
cago yesterday, speaking of the
proposed guarantee of deposits
in banks, said:
The plank in the Democratic
National platform favoring the
guarantee of bank deposits under
governmental direction is the
only feasible remedy that has
been suggested for the panic evil.
The importance of a remedy is
apparent when one reflects that
we stand in constant danger of a
demoralization of public confi
tlence as a result of a local finan
cial disorder, especially if the
disorder be in a big financial
center. But the importance of
an adequate safeguard against
the disturbance of public confi
dence becomes vastly emphasized
when the fact is realized that
under present conditions it is
possible for a group of great fi
nanciers to designedly bring
abouf a demoralization of public
confidence either as a rebuke to
the public or for the cold blood
ed purpose of adding to the pow
er and pocket of the great finan
ciers engineering it. Such a pro
cedure would simply parallel
upon a large scale the operations
that have frequently taken place
on the stock markets where a4
single stock has been manipula-i
ted up or down for the profit
both ways of the manipulators.
The panic last fall was a senseless
far as being based upon
any justifiable grounds. It came
at a time when the country was
prosperous and the general con
ditions outside of Wall street
were healthy. Whether it was a
manipulated panic or not, I do
iiot undertake to say; it is be
lieved by many that it was. But
the fact that a deliberately de
signed, manipulated panic is pos
sible under the present order of
things constitutes a grave and
overwhelming menace to the
public welfare, and makes it im
perative that a safeguard should
be erected so as to place it be
yond the power of any set of
men, no matter how powerful to
play battledoor and shuttlecock
with the public confidence. The
public confidence is a thing of
highly sensitive organism, and
its healthy condition is of vital
importance to the happiness and
prosperity and development of
our people. It is no less than a
national crime to permit public
confidence to be made the foot
ball and plaything of market ma
nipulators. The guarantee of

mental direction will throw ade
quate protection about the public
confidence. Under such a sys
tem a bank in any locality may
fail without the danger of other
banks in the community being
drawn into the vortex. Under
such a system big banks in big
financial centers may be wrecked
without the entire conntry being
thrown into a financial convul
sion; in other words, troubles
would be confined to their own
area and could be viewed by the
general public with equanimity
so far as their general effect
should be concerned.
Th guarantee of bank deposits
under governmental direction
would insure the free and heal
thy circulation of money through
the arteries of our commercial
system, and relieve the danger
of stagnation of circulation by
reason of local causes. As the
free circulation of blood is essen
tial to the well being of the phy
sical man, so is the free circula
tion of money the life blood of
commerce essential to our com
mercial well being. It is the
function of the physieian to see
to it that the circulation of the
blood of his human patient be
not stagnated by a local disorder.
So it is a proper function of the
government to seer to' it that con
ditions are provided calculated
fof bring about the free and heal
thy circulation of the blood of
commerce, and to prevent stag
nation of the circulation by a
ocal trouble.
It goes without saying that the
details of the proposed system
should be carefully considered by
our law-makers. I do not believe
that deposits bearing interest or
more than a nominrl rate of in-'.
terest should be guaranteed, fori
the reason that it is not av func-

interest becomes akin to a busi
ness venture. But that phase is
entirely different from that of
non-interest be'afin deposits,
which perform the functions of
lifeblood to trade;
I have heard objection made
by some banks to governmental
guarantee of deposits on the
ground that the system proposed
requires the good banks to pay
for the losses incurred by the
bad banks. My answer to that
is that the good bank now pays
for the failure of the bad one
and pays much more heavily
than it would have to pay under
the proposed guarantee system.
Statistics show that the amount
each bank would be called upon
to contribute under the guaran
tee system would be relatively
very small. It is certainly better
for the good bank to miike these
Small contributions than to run
the risk of paying with its ex
istence for the failure of th bad
bank.
It seems to me that bank fail
ures would be lessened under the
deposit guarantee system for the
reason that each bank would be
interested in the proper manage
ment of all other banks and this
Would inevitably result in more
rigid inspection against fraud
and dishonesty.
I want further to call attention
to the plank in the Republican
platform relative to the estab-
mnt of postal savings banks.
If Such a system should be inau
gurated it would prove to be akin
to the system of guaranteeing
bank deposits; but its unwhole
some effect would be the inevi
table tendency for these govern
mentally held savings funds to
gravitate towards the big centers.
Under the system proposed by
the Democratic party of guaran
teeing bank deposits, the inevi
table effect would be just to the
contrary; it would cause our
money to stay more at horde 2id
not be concentrated in th gfeat
financial centers.

Last wiuter I tried many advertised reme

bought a 50c. bottle of Dr King's New Dis

cough was all gone. This winter the same

am now convinced that Dr. King's New
