GUA HAKTEE OF DEPOSITS VESUIA BLE.
The con ipt roller of the currency in his recent report
to congress gives some figures which show that, although
since the election is over the matter has heen disregarded,
that the guaranty of bank deposits remains a desirable
object. From his report it appears that since the creation
of national banks, in 1865, the total losses to creditors,
actual and estimated, have been $-32,000,000. The annual
average loss is now $90.5,293, which is only 0.06 per cent
of the annual average deposits of the active national
banks, amounting to $1,598,000,000 for tho fn,.i,
years since 1865.
This average loss to depositors and other creditors, of
uufc M.wmnurecmis ot l per cent of the total average de
posits in national banks, shows that a tax upon deposits
of one-tenth of 1 per cent would be much more than ample
to provide a guaranty fund that would give absolute se
curity to depositors in all national banks.
Hence, would it not pay you, Mr. Business Man, to
pay your one-tenth of 1 per cent to insure vour deposits?
AV ould it not be worth $10 a year to you to protect a bal
ance of $10,000? .

BUY AT HOME.
It is gratifying to note that the people of the state
of Oregon are taking increasing interest in Oregon made
goods and are beginning to realize that an article mami
lactured near at home is, in most instances, the equal of
he one bearing the mark "made in Germany or some
her place remote from this state. Distance mav lend
,.f..I)m.!iaVC I'T in .(?7Bin a hu'Se nunibpi- of local man
ut. cturing plants which buy their materials close at hand
and give Oregon development the boost of substantial pay
rolls It is manifestly unfair that our people should buy
an article which has only a foreign label to lend it added
value. There is a world of wisdom in the advice to "pat
ronize home industry." Nothing will lend a more substan
tial aid to the development of Oregon's latent resources.
i.V UNJUST DISCRIMINATION.
Three leaders of the American Federation of Labor,
Gompers, Mitchell and Morrison, were last week adjudged
guilty of contempt and sentenced by Justice Wright of
the supreme court of the District of Columbia to" serve
terms of imprisonment. And as a result press dispatches
tell of a flood of telegrams being poured into the White
House, urging the president to interfere and stay the exe
cution of sentence. Labor leaders are unanimous in de
noimcing Justice Wright, calling his action an outrage.
there is no doubt but that the thvee men were guiltv
of contempt. They violated an . anti-bo vcott injunction
issued against the Federation and its officers, in the suit
brought against them by the Buck Stove and Range com
pany. The concern was boycotted and the labor leaders
after declaring their intention to disregard anv anti-bov-cott
injunction, did so. That they took this action upon
the advice of their attorneys based upon their constitutional
rights, makes them no less guilty, but it does resolve itself
into a question of constitutional law and its bearing upon
what are called the inherent and necessary powers of a
court to punish for what it may deem contempt of its own
mandates.
Gompers. Mitchell and Morrison violntml
the court at their own peril, and took a hazardous chance
ot nemg upneiu nv the court ot appeals of the District, of
Columbia, to which court an appeal has been taken.
There seems but little chance, however, of a reversal
on appeal. The United States supreme court decided in
the famous "Hatters case" that a boycott is a conspiracy
in restraint of trade, and so under the ban of the Sherman
anti-trust law, and that labor organizations are under that
statute! as corporations or individuals.
.However, having taken the step they did, believing
themselves within their constitutional rights, they have
been treated villi undue severity by .Judge Wright. And
the sentence amounts to injustice when one reimubers how
the other violators of the Sherman anti-trust and the inter
state commerce law, which include E. .11. llarrimau and
John D. Rockefeller, have all escaped jail.
It seems almost as if the courts were discriminating
between the classes. Surely the workinginan is entitled
to as much consideration as the millionaire at the bar of
justice.
As The Tribune "perverts facts," we would respectful
ly refer the following question to tho Mail, "so that the
people may know:" If the present city tax levy is 17 1-2
mills, what will it bo when the revenue to the city from
the saloons some $8000 next year, is lost?
