ABOUT BANK GUARANTEE.

Have you. heard anyone give a good, sensible reason why you should not be given as good a guarantee, in the case of a bank failure, as a bank is compelled to give to the government, the state, the county, the township or the city? To secure government deposits, government bonds must be deposited in the United States Treasury., To secure state, county, township and municipal funds, an approved bond is required. Who is it that receives no guarantee, no security, for his money? The answer is, the individual depositor, the very man from whom the bank derives its profits. And why? Because some bankers, and the republican party, say he is not entitled to it. Taft, Watson, Crumpacker and Halleck are dead square against the guarantee proposition. Who says he is entitled to a guarantee. Bjyan, Marshall, Darroch, Law and Gerber. You have seen the calamity brought on an outraged public by the failure of A. McCoy & Co.. Baldwin & Dague, Robert Parker and Fred Gilman? It ought not to be difficult to determine who to vote for this year. It is now up to you to decide.
