Without desiring to enter into -any
captious or contentious controversy on
tba subject, I do wish to offer a few
suggestions In answer to your two prin
cipal criticisms, feeling sure that you
are Just aa sincere as I am, and that
we are both aeeklng after the truth.
Allow me to sug-ffest. In tba first
place, that your vision la obscured by
your DOlnt.of view. You look at the
queation alone from the standpoint of
tne ao-cauea gooa Danics, and assume
tnat a Dana once sound and well man
aged will alwaya be sound and well
managea, ana utterly ignore the possi
blllty that the depositors of a once cood
and well managed bank will ever need
protection. But thla la not all.
xou aiso overlook the distinction be-
tween a private individual, endowed
with natural rights and a mere crea
ture of the law. with auch riant a only
aa tna law coalers upon it. This dis
unction la vital, a:

dulgences of an Individual.
And again, you assume tnat the busi
ness publlo la aa free to use and deal
with the banks or not. aa with certain
Individuals. Ignoring the fact that In tha
exigencies of modern bualness, business
men ara oompauea to aeai with and trust

And lastly, you utterly Ignore all
consideration of the depositor, who is

tha banking business. Thla, aa already

be left oat la any fair consideration of

tem of laws for the organisation and
conduct of baaka. It la not ta any rela
tion between tha banks with each other,
ba4 or indifferent, that the true test
of the fairness and policy af deposit

without running Into radical error. And
