Remember the Parker bank fail,ure and vote for guaranty of bank deposits, pledged for In both the democratic state and national platforms, and opposed by the republicans because the “big bankers” don’t want it. They say it “would make the small bank just as safe as the big one.” Well, isn’t your money, Mr. Farmer or Mr. Laboring Man, just as dear to you as the city man’s? You must of necessity patronize the small country bank, and it is to your interest to know that it is safe. But, under our present laws, ' the big banks, like Forgan's of Chicago, sometimes go under, leaving suffering and disaster in their wake. Let the bankers mutually insure their depositors against loss. It is no more than just, and it can be secured only by supporting the democratic state and national tickets, for as previously stated, the republicans are opposing this measure.

Davison, of No. 379 Gifford Ave., San Jose, Cal., says: ‘‘The worth of Electric Bitters as a general family remedy, for headache, biliousness and torpor of the liver and bowels is so pronounced that I am prompted to say a word in its favor, for the benefit of those seeking relief from such afflictions.

ARCHBOLD REPLIES TO HEARST Justice Elkin Also Explains Those Latest Letters. New York, Oct 27.—John R. Archbold, of the Stundurd OU company, has made a statement regarding the letters read by William R. Hearst at the Carnegie hail meeting Saturday night, in which Archbold says that—“l am very sure that until Hearst read the letters neither Judge Morrison nor Judge Henderson had any knowledge of my having written Governor Stone in their behalf. Judge Henderson was not appointed by Governor Stone to the supreme court, but was three years later appointed by Governor Pennypacker to n suinrior court judgeship. If, however, any feeble word of mine could have Influenced in the slightest degree the selection of those gentlemen for their respective positions I would be very proud of it. “Tbeir state has had no better servants than they, and I certainly have never asked of them any favor of any kind, either for myself or for the company with which I am connected. My letters to General Elkin referring to accompanying drafts related entirely to contributions to the Republican state committee then engaged in the campaign preliminary to the renominatlon of Mr. McKinley, a subject regarding which 1 think Hearst would be a lltttle sensitive, for was it not the election and the tragic death of Mr. McKinley that came near costing Hearst his’precious neck? “The intimation by Hearst that he has had any communication from me or any of my associates in connection with the stolen letters Is a lie. The only favor which I would ask—or ever hope to ask —of Hearst is that he return me the letters hauded him by his Jarcenious ‘gentleman friend.’ which were written from Japan, relating to the fatal illness of my daughter in that country.” Pittsburg. Oct. 27.—Justice J. P. Elkin, of the supreme court of Pennsylvania, has made a complete statement relative to the letters read by Hearst Saturday night In which, after saying that the evident Intention of Hearst’s publication of the letters was to support an Inference that money had been sent to Elkin by the Standard Oil Co. to improperly influence legislation, he says that the legislature was not in session in 1900 when the money was sent to Elkin, no bills were pending and the candidates for the next legislature were not nominated, and were not elected until eight months after the letters were sent. 'Hie drafts referred to were for the Republican campaign fund and were turned over by Elkin to the Republican treasurer, who used It to liquidate state committee indebtedness Incurred In a prior campaign. The letter referring to some legislation that was bad. according to Archbold’s view. Elkin says, having been written fifteen months .qfter the lettens referring to the drafts could not have had anything to do with those drafts, and was only a letter of inquiry of which he does not remember the disposal, and he got just such letters from farmers, business men. mechanics and laborers.

EASILY UNDERSTOOD

Mr. Bryant dhows Why the Individual Favors Protection of Bank Deposits. A MATTER OF INTELLIGENCE Banks Should Attend to the Banking Business and Not the Government.

No Issue in this campaign appeals more strongly to the, individual than the protection of bank deposits. Thousands and thousands of republicans will vote for Mr. Bryan on account of this one issue, which he has presented so clearly to the people of the nation. In a recent speech Mr. Bryan presented this issue In a simple and most convincing way. He said:* “Of the many policies proposed in our platform, the protection of bank depositors is the simplest and most easily understood. Why, my friends, this question is so easily understood that I suppose there is nob a person in this audience who is not able to understand it. I do not mean that every one, everywhere, can understand it I draw the line here: When every person reaches the period of intellectual development where he is able to see that when a man puts his money in the bank he ought to be able to get it again, he ought to have Intelligence enough to understand this subject; but until he gets to this point I do not know how to reach him. 1 take It for granted, however, that you are all sufficiently advanced to be able to understand that when you put your money In a bank you ought to be able to get It out again. Now, my friends, there are just two questions to be considered in this matter. One of these 1 have given you. The other question is, who must make it secure? Our position is that as the banks make their profits out of the people’s money, the bankers ought to give the insurance the people require. Now, I had supposed that that was a self evident truth and that it would not be denied. “I have made no speech without discussing the guaranty of bank deposits in all parts of the country. After 1 had made my speech in Baltimore, explaining our system and presenting our arguments in support of it, my attention was called to an advertisement in one of the papers. In my speech I had said that you could insure your house, you could insure your life, you could insure your buggy or your barn, but that you could not insure your money. And in this advertisement my language was quoted and the advertisement went on to say that I was mistaken, for a certain fidelity company was prepared to insure deposits. And then I found out how they do It down there. You put your money in a bank, and then go, and get somebody to insure it so that you can get it out of the bank again. I believe the time has come to compel all the banks to stand back of the banks and make good the presumption upon which you deposit your money in the bank. "Now, my friends, you may ask if the banks are not now sufficiently secured. That Is what the bankers say. They will even tell you that only occasionally a bank fails, but the trouble is that we cannot tell in advance which bank is going to fall. Look at the notice they hang up. Does it say, ’this bank will fail?’ No, the notice says ‘this bank is closed,’ and if bankers follow out this plan I will agree not to urge this insuring of deposits. Let the bank give notice three months in advance of a failure so the people can get their money out before the failure. "Do you think the banks are sufficiently secure now? The postmaster general says, in his report in favor of the postal savings bank, that we are sending millions of dollars to Europe to be deposited in government savings banks there, and the people who send their money there would rather send it across an ocean three thousand miles wide than to risk the banks of this country. I say to you that we ought to make our banks here so secure that money will not be driven out of the United States to find a safe place of deposit. That money which is driven to Europe ought to be kept here and used in the business of this country. Not Only does money go to‘ Europe, but money goes into hiding, and this Is about the time of year when we discover some of it. You will see in the paper, every once in a while that Mrs. So and So for the first time this fall made a fire and was mortified to find that her husband, without her knowledge, had been using it as a bank. A man in New York said last tall, when the panic was on, that a billion dollars was In hiding under carpets. I do not know whether that estimate is too high or too low, but I know this, that if I were a banker I would be ashamed to have an old rag carpet running rivalry with me as a safety deposit vault, in time of danger. “If any man says that the banks are sufficiently secure I will remind him that there is not a national bank in the United States that can get a dollar of Uncle Sam’s money without putting up security. The state demands security; the county demands security; the city demands security; and each village demands security; and the fraternal orders are now demanding security, and I believe the time has come when the farmer, the merchant and the laboring man should have security when they put their money in a bank. “In Oklahoma they have had this plan in operation for now some six months. I learned of one failure there and in forty-two minutes after the bank suspended, tb« man in charge had an order from the government to Say every depositor in full, and the uainess went on without interruption And when he telephoned out to the farmers and said to them, ’The bank has suspended, come in and get your money,’ they answered, ‘We are busy with the crops now, we will be in in a . r * n ▼V you do hero In year state whan a bank gate shaky!

la It the way you do when a bank suspends? No! the very rumor that a bank is a little uncertain makes a rush of depositors, and they make it insolvent whether it was insolvent or not “This jflan protects the depositors; ft protects the community, and it is good for the bank as well. “I would rather see the banks attend to the banking business than to have It traneferred to the government, and becauae I prefer to have the banking business done by the banke rather than by the government, I urge the guaranty of depoeltO ae the easiest solution of our difficulties.”

STRAUS GIVES REASONS

The New York Merchant and Philanthropist Declares Election of Bryan Means Business Prosperity. Nathan Straus, the great New York merchant and philanthropist, in announcing his reasons for supporting Mr. Bryan, said: H l feel sure that he will be elected, and I say, as a business man, one who Is as much interested perhaps as any. In the general prosperity of the country, ae one who la bound to feel personally any lack of prosperity among the masses, that I believe his election will be a benefit to all the country, and to all of the people. Those that talk otherwise, those that predict panic and disaster, as the result of the election of an honest man, chosen by an honest majority of the people, are narrow minded and short-sighted, or pretend to believe that which they know Is not true, or they are seeking to obscure the real and vital issues of the campaign. Mr. Bryan will make a safe, reliable, conscientious president, a president for all of the people, the rich and the poor, the big man and the little. He will represent the American people, not any class, and for that reason I shall work for him until election and vote for him on election day.”

THE GREAT EXPLAINER.

Here is a copy of a poster, headed "Laboring Men—Attention!" which has been circulated in advance of Judge Taft’s appearance to a number of cities: Come out and hear HON. WILLIAM H. TAFT Republican candidate for President HE WILL EXPLAIN how he secured his appointment as United States judge 1 through the influence of SenatoFForaker, the attorney of the Standard OU company. HE WILL EXPLAIN why, as United States judge, he put railroad men and mechanics in jail by means of his INJUNCTION process. HE WILL EXPLAIN why he is opposed to giving the laboring man a trial by a jury. HE WILL EXPLAIN to you why the capitalistic class and the trusts and the syndicates of Wall street are supporting him, while the laboring men are opposing him, almost to a man. c By Order of the Committee.

The Cry of Politicians.

The best service that cap be rendered for permanent prosperity is to rebuke the assumption which certain politicians continually are seeking to create to the public mind, that continued prosperity depends on the success of a particular political party. Our form of government contemplates changes from time to time, and nothing is so disastrous asl to instill to the people’s minds the belief that there is danger to business to changing a portion of the officers of our government If tie people cannot change their officers without creating a panic, then the logical step is to go to a monarchy, which, of course, none advocates.

SPECIAL INTERESTS VERSUS EQUAL RIGHTS.

In every utterance and every statement made so -far Mr. Taft ’ has shown great concern for the welfare of the TRUSTS and SPE- > CIAL INTERESTS. i He is afraid that the guaranty > of bank deposits will be a burden [ on a few big bankers. That thou- , sands of small depositors may lose > everything does not-worry him. ' He la afraid that a reduction of • the tariff may hurt protected in- ’ dustries. He does not worry for > the consumer, who bears the bur--1 den of the heavy tax. He is afraid to oppose the TRUSTS, for he considers them ' a benefit. He does not mind the extortion they practice upon the public. He is opposed to a Jury trial In contempt and Injunction cases because the SPECIAL INTERESTS want the unfair Injunction process continued. The “Father of the Injunction” does not worry becauae the laborer may not get a , square deal. The Republican candidate be- ; Hevea in an income tax only when ' the present oppressive means of ; taxation fail to furnish enough revenue. In other words, he be- ; lieves that the wealthy should not be taxed until the resources of the masses are exhausted. Not a word from Mr. Taft because the masses bear an unjust share of the burden of taxation. Mr. Taft stands for the favored FEW and SPECIAL INTERESTS. Mr. Bryan stands for the PEOPLE as opposed to the INTER- ; EBTB. Mr. Taft stands for PLUTOCRACY as opposed to DEMOC- : RACY. Mr. Bryan stands for EQUAL ' RIGHTS as opposed to SPECIAL PRIVILEGES.
