Eight national banks in Oklahoma have announced that they will reorganize as State banks t 6 enable them To take advantage of the State banking guaranty law. The Controller of the Currency has notified all the national banks in Oklahoma that they may not operate

under this law. One national bank has announced that it will organize a savings bank under the guaranty law, thereby enjoying the prestige or both a national and a State bank. Of the fifty-six national banks in the State which had contracted to guarantee deposits under the State law twenty-two have surrendered their national charters Bince the Attorney-General of the United States held that national bgnks could not enter into such an arrangement with the State.

THE SNEER OF WEALTH.

Imllaimpollg News (Hep.). Some time ago the New York Tribune, in a line editorial, said: “Won’t somebody contribute 30 cents to Mr. Bryan’s campaign?” The News criticised this as an unconscious expression of the contempt of the cohorts of wealth for the common people who proposed to finance a campaign by little. The unusual appeal had been made by the Democrats in this campaign to the American people to come forward with even dollar contributions —this following the rejection by the Democrats of t&lnted contributions, the limitation of their amount from any source, and the resolution in accordance with the platform to print the names o£ the donors before election. It all seemed so ridiculous in the eyes of amassed millions and the boundless resources of a party which as the political agent of predatory wealth had a long and malodorous record of, squeezing sums according to needs from “beneficiaries” and multi-mil-lionaires that the national newspaper organ of the party chortled in its Joy at the mere notion and in an unconscious moment emitted the 30-cent remark. * It was just what The News called it—“the sneer of wealth” and the exposition of it was copied far and wide—is still being copied. But further proof that the designation struck a popular chord appears in the organization of the Thirty-Cent League. George R. Dale, of Hartford City, in this State, who “did the rest” after The News had touched the button, is receiving letters from all parts of the country. A man from Texas writes that he "would not miss it even for forty cents.” There speaks the recognition of the vitality of the issue roused by this “sneer of wealth.” Congressman Baker, of Brooklyn, N. Y., lauds the movement and asks for particulars, with a view of taking up the New' York of the National Thirty-Cent League. Whatever becomes of the league it ought to have publicity. Let the Democrats apply to it some of that which they are going to devote to other parts of the campaign, for there is in *the episode one of the most significant signs of the time. It shows that the people—the common people, who were ridiculed by the first unconscious ' proposition—appreciate the situation. That they realize that the predaceous wealth and power of the country, that have so long written its laws—especially those for the benefit of wealth; that have administered its government; filled its courts and interpreted the laws are gathered in solid phalanx behind the ruling party. Spread the news of the Thirty-Cent League! Let thirty cents answer thirty millions.

FRENZIED CRITICISM.

As soon as Mr. Van Cleave's heated speech cools sufficiently for a real near view other things may he discovered in it. For example, does not it look like an unfortunate thing to use language like this in flaying Mr. Bryan for approving the guaranty of bank deposits? Can he not see that this scheme would remove all the safeguards which our present laws have raised up against such plungers and grfters as have worked their way into the control of many of our banks * * * and percipitate an era of extravagance, wild speculation and corruption which would wreck our whole financial system? Let us see. Just what was it happened last fall—and is still happening with our prostrated industries? Was it not somethjng of the kind that Mr. Van Cleave inveighs against? Did not plungers work their way into control of banks and use them to plunge with some more; and did not the other banks defend themselves against the plungers by shutting down on the people’s money and make them stand for it? Now, if under a guaranty law those banks had had to make up the “water margins" of the plungers’ banks so as to hold their depositors safe, would they have been so free and easy with shutting down on everybody’s money and letting everybody look out for himself, recking nothing as long as they were safe? It looks thus as if this superheated remark of Mr. Van Cleave might be ot the kind to burn his own fingers. When it cools off perhaps it may shrink into something else, but meantime he study on It. Might he not also give space to the thought that under guaranteed de-

posits there would be no run on banks? There is that element in the situation. If the people knew that their deposits were safe, as the Government deposits in the same banks are guaranteed, they would be as serene as Uncle Sam is nt a crisis; or rather there would be no crises. It is because they know now that it is their money that the bankers will seize at the first tpnell of smoke that they become possessed of unreasoning and unreasonable fears and at the repetition of an idle word or the misinterpretation of a harmless act will go on a wild rush for their money, i, Remove the cause and would not effects cease? For the present certain knowledge that their money will be taken at the first alarm substitute the knowledge that it can not be taken, that it is just as safe as their Government’s money now is (which is their money raised by taxes on them) dhd we should have none of the scares, panics, runs, etc., that we may have nt any time. The question is an academic one as yet. The Democratic platform recognized practical difficulties when it said if not able to get a guaranteed bank system it favored a postal savings bank system, which is a “guaranteed" system. The Government would .have to lend its deposits as any private banker has'to lend his. Wherein then is that'Bystem any the less dangerous than the guaranteed system for national banks in which Mr. Van Cleave sees “chaos and ruin quicker and larger than the silver debasement of the currency would have wrought”? Does he thus hold postal savings banks? Yet England and France have got along very well for a generation with postal savings banks and there has been none of the fearful shapes that the gentleman sees lying in wait for us. Looking it all over had not Mr. Van thing? If he is not careful he will Cleave better let a cooler nead and a steadier hand take hold of this thing? If he is not careful he will succeed in so popularizing the guaranteed deposit idea that his party will find Itself tied up to the proposition before election hard and fast.—lndianapolis News (Rep.).

SHALL THE PEOPLE RULE? Let Them Assist In Bearing the Legitimate Expenses of the Campaign to This End. TO THE EDITOR: * ~ ■ There are no secrets in this Campaign. Strictly practicing what he preaches, Mr. Bryan would not win victory with tainted money paying the election expenses. Not a dollar is to be accepted which requires any promise, either express or implied, other than for HONEST, IMPARTIAL GOVERNMENT. Mr. Bryan will enter the White House absolutely free from entangling alliances, free to serve all classes of honest citizens alike, or he will not enter at all. Hence the course is plain. The campaign of Bryan and Kern must be conducted by the people. The people must pay the necessary campaign expenses if they want public servants who will serve 1 their interests. Special interests and favored classes, having secured "SWOLLEN FORTUNES” by purchasing favors in the past with MILLIONS CONTRIBUTED TO CONTROL ELECTIONS, stand ready to give MILLIONS MORE FOR CONTINUED FAVORS. But that class never gives a. dollar unless it buys a pledge. Mr. Bryan says, from March 4th, 1909, “LET THE PEOPLE RULE.” This can come only if the people pay their own bills, and control their own elections. “BEWARE OF THE TRUSTS ‘BEARING GIFTS.’” That policy of the favored few buying a mortgage on the Government menat that the Candidate for President knew a few people only in an entire State. Bryan says, “We will take the cause of PEOPLE’S RULE homo to the people and will know people in every country.” You can serve the grand cause of popular government. Your paper reaches the fireside of the patriot who loves his country for his country's GOOD; as distinguished from the greedy possessor of swollen fortunes who loves his country only for his country’s GOODS. 1 Please carry this letter in BOLD TYPE at the mast head of your paper. Asking every one who favors Government by the people to pay you, at once, as many dollars as he can spare to aid the Campaign for BRYAN, KERN AND PEOPLE’S RULE. You forward these gifts of honest hearts and homes every two weeks to the Treasurer of the Democratic National Committee, with the name of each contributor and the amount given. The Treasurer will forward you a certificate like the copy enclosed for each one, asking you to deliver these certificates. Once more, you should be a part of the Great Organization bearing the Lamp of Light to every nook and corner of Free America! Our Country is for the People; its Government must be-by the People. / Sincerely, NORMAN E. MACK, Chm. Democratic Nat. Committee. M. C. WETMORE, Chairman Finance Committee. C N HASKELL, Treasurer. Chicago, Aug. 15, 1908.

Campaign Contributions. 1 / The Democrat is authorized to act as agent for the raising of funds for the legitimate campaign expenses of the democratic party this year, and solicits contributions in any sum over 50 cents. All moneys received will be receipted for and the names of the contributors published in The Democrat, unless otherwise requested, and every penny of the amounts forward to the proper headquarters. This, remember, is a people’s campaign, and the people who seek relief from existing political evils should respond and pay the legetimate expenses thereof. This popular appeal for funds for financing the campaign should meet with a liberal response. Few people are too poor to spare a dollar or two for so worthy a cause, and many can and will .give much more. Send or hand in your cofitribution at your earliest convenience. ■"
