IN SUH1 SO It ASK DEPOSITS.
The strongest plank in Mr. Bryan's platform is that
advocating the guarantee of hank deposits. Certainly none
appeals more strongly to the average man.
Financial stringencies follow panics, which are large
ly caused through reckless financiering and loss of public
confidence. If a depositor was assured that his money
was safe in the bank in which he had placed it, there would
be no runs on banks; no withdrawals of money from cir
culation to hidden places until the owners felt it safe to
again trust it with some bank ; and no consequent depres
sion. It would seem that the average honest banker would
cheerfully pay a slight tax, which would jirotect him from
destruction by a panic among depositors and there is
no bank but that is occasionally threatened. In addition,
bankers would not feel that they had to keep a large
amount of cash idle in vaults to prevent such emergency.
Under the Bryan plan, depositors of a failed bank are
to be paid out of a fund collected by a slight tax on banks,
and this money is to be repaid as far as possible out of
the assets of the failed bank, which does not escape lia
bility. Bank depositors are entitled to protection, and they
have never had it. Even if the law would bear heavily
on bankers, which it does not, the few trusted with the
savings and capital of the many should furnish the re
quired protection. In addition, the knowledge that their
depositors were protected would avoid many a sleepless
night by bankers whose assets, while good, cannot be real
ized upon at a minute's notice, as may be demanded any
day under the present system.
It is Hard to understand the opposition of Mr. Taft
and others to the proposed guarantee plan, except that
it originated with Bryan and therefore should be damned.
The relief afforded to the people in all ranks of life, even
to the bankers themselves, would justify the law.
No more runs on banks, no more bank "holidays" and
clearing house money, and no more panics and the cost in
appreciable even to banks.
