Mr. ProsMont and Dologatos, La dlofl and Cientlomen: Wo havo heard It said horo today a number of tlmos thnt wo havo "reached tho hrldgo" which wo must cross beroro wo can nttnln tho goal which Is cir objective point In this movement ror an ndequato and na tional system of rivers and harbors. It Booms to mo thnt wo havo yot to build that bridge. In other words tho wholo quoatlon of tho construc tion of nuch a systotn of rlvor nnd harbor linpiovoineiits luui rosolvoU Usolf Into a problom of how to get tho money. Tho peoplo at largo aro undoubt edly favorable to such a policy, and If the money wore avallablo Its ox pondlturo for thnt purposo woukl b approvod by tho genornl public. But tho sum roquired Is stupend ouh In amount. It would roqulro at loast $500,000,000 within tho next ton yours, and no doubt largo addi tional sums would bo annually ro quired .thoro after to onlargo and norfoct tho svstom to mako it ndu quate to the growing noeds of tho commorco of tho country. It Is not to bo wonderod at that conservative mon' In Congress hoel tato to ombnrk on so gigantic an undertaking, nnd provldo tho money bydlroct appropriation from tho cur rent annual rovenuei or tho govern ment. Thoy hnvo as yet no nbso luto and positive assurance that If they did so, political opinion In ltd mutations would steadfastly approve such appropriations. This is more especially tiuo whon It is eonsldorod thnt such improvmonts are for tho benefit of this gonoratlon; and It woukl seom only right thnt tho bur den of coet should be apportioned ovor a long sorios of years. A construction fund of $500,000. 000 would require an avorago or $50,000,000 por year If paid anual ly from current revenue during 'that period. If the muiio total sum were spread aver a period of 100 yeara. the total unount to be paid would be only $6.000. 000,' a very small amount when oompuretl with the enonnou vuut expended mch year by thu United Statee government. Of t-ourf. to tkte woufal hve to be adJed the interest, If the total sum, wr to be provided in advanee former amounta to imuiediate -nt ruction. It would be a very easy matter, looking at It from lae finaac'al standpoint alone, to provide thU sum tor conntruetloji as fat as net-Jed. by the leaaanee of govern ment bonds.

'ino iimo would not bo rlpo now i .. . ..... 1 ,for tnU Cong-flan to tako any arrirm ntlvo action In .the matter as an or ganization; hut thoro Is no reaion why wo Hhoukl not ho thinking about It and etudylng 1U possibilities ror the purpose or giving It tnoro ser ious cona'doratinn at another Rlvor. and Uarbot'a Congress, whloh will ha held n year from now, The Potmaator Genorale of ill United State havo boon ror year advocating the establishment or n Postal Savings Bank In this country. Nearly every other clvlllzod country has such an institution and Its suo ceea and advantages have boen ioo ofton demonstrated in othor ooun tried to leave any doubt ns to the benefit that would nooruo from tho entalilUhinent or n Postal Saviug3J Bank in the United State. One of tho grentoet dinioultlmil with tae flnnualal situation In the Unltod States today la that there ar 1 ooiiotle mlllioua or dollar hidden away in vocKingg anu private uiu lug pUe by timid people, hiuI thu withdrawn rrom circulHtlou and d' lag tho country no good. It would be a conservative esilmcte to av that this amount of hidden iuony withdrawn from clnwlatlon in tba. 1 hundred million dollars. The only way withdraw that clrenlatlng medium from lu hiding plae and put It ' work I U eatahlleh a I'omtul Hu- lit, Bank. The deposit in euch a "bank co'iW be inveatud in rimnt gtaUs bonis leued for internal 'm Ikrovt'meBis, and the bond turn 1 over by the Treaaary rpartm m the PoKtal Savings Bank In pitiitl tc&tly the same war tbejr would turned over to a prlraie tinsncUl in- stitution but With this dim-r.n.. T-le deposits la the Postal lUnk treasury wonW not eome roluroe o, orrBcy now in tui u equivalent circu , . . c7rculatlnB to amount of ,, bon, f 8Um trft . ,aul rerred 'from prlvato hoards to tho Po3tal Bank would equal, it not ex ceed, .tho amount required for con struction bonds for many years to come; and secondly, because tho Is suance of bonds by tho Treasury to tho Postal Savings Bank would not ralso tho lmblio objection thnt would protest against a similar Issue to private banks. In itho Bplendld address by tho French ambassador today wo wore told that Franco would expend 2, 000,000,000 franca in constructing canals and Inland waterways. I wish ho had gone a Btep further and told you of tho great system for encour aging the economy and thrift of tho peopjo which has mado Franco tho strongest nation financially on tho facQ or tho earth today. Tho great tund that paid tho war debt pf Franco to Germany nnd from which the French government has been building their va9t aystom or intern al improvements has largoly como trom tho stockings of tho French peasantry, doposlted flrBt In tho Postal Savings Bank and finally re turned to thu depositors in tho rorm or French routes. Tho French rente, which is a 3 por cent nonro doomoblo cortlNcato or govornmont bond, is ho popular with the farmers and pensant class that 22,221,000,- G 14 franca, or $1,288,780,504 in routes havo boon bought, principally by tho working peoplo of Franco, and tho total debt or tho French na tion amounts to only $5,878,822, 095, tho figures being ror 1905. The groat objoctlon or difficulty to bo ovorcomo, which has horoto foro stood In tho way of tho adop tion or a Postal Savings Bank in this country hns been thnt no specific plan wub prosontod or scorned feasi ble for tho Investment of tho dopos Its In such a Postal Bank. It Is only vory recently Jhnt tho Ameri can pooplo hnvo wakod up to a re alization of the Immonslty or their own probloniB, nnd showod their willingness to ougngo upon mich stupendous undertakings as itho Panama Canal, or a great aystein of Internal watorvays, requiring vast sums ror their construction. This tlmo hns now como ami tho need ror tho money lor such use by tho National Government crentos the opportunity ror InvoHtmont or large sums or inoiioy hy the govornmont, thnt romoves the only fundnmontal objoctlon to a Postal Savings Bank In tho Uultod Stntos. ir we had Hiioh a Postal Bank In this country, it horo would ho de posited In It, as .rapidly na tho gov ornmont noolod tho monoy ror con struction, more than $1,000,000, 000, a conHldorablo pnrt or which Is now withdrawn rrom clroulntlon. Tho bonds of tho Unltod Stntos whioh would bo doposlted wUh tho Postal Savings Bank, would ropre-sor-t a dobt to a largo body or small Ind'vidual depositors. Whon tho In toroat on tho coupons wns paid hy thoVTroasury Dopartmont to tho turn bo - ' 'r Postal Bank, it would In paid out through tho Postal Bank to tho multitude of peoplo who were deiKsltors therein. There Is no doubt whatover of the practicability of tho plan I havo sug gested. In othor oountrlog oxporl M,oe has demonstrated that a Pouta! Bank, Instead of Injuring the pri vate hanking system, has benefited It; and the Postal Savings System whloh has boon for yoara In success ful operation in so many other countries polnU the way to iu to provide all the money w need for Internal ImprovomonUi without run ning counter to any fIxM vnnvietlons In tho mind or (the peoplo at large LIME AND SULPHUR SPRAY DEPENDABLE BRAND Manufactured by Gideon Stolz Company, Cor.
