It is opinion of shrewd
that the new departure of
the Treasury Department in in-
creasing the number of Govern-
depositions and raising the
limit from one half to one million,
to such national banks as can give
the necessary security, is a wise
and liberal policy, calculated to
conserve the business interests of
the country and prevent the re-

good scheme of relieving the

as it does the change from the
loose Republican system to that
old and vigorous usage of the
Democratic party protecting
such of our citizens as had become
the victims of aggression

Government. This treaty is now

The benefits accruing from

intelligent observers readers.
They certainly intend to increase
the disposition to save. Nearly
every man spends too; much and
thousands spend tar more than
they are really able to spend. That
is to say, they get in debt. Savings
banks extend daily an invitation
to save money. They are now
three or four such banks in North
Carolina and they ate giving much
satisfaction. are certain
that it is Constitutional for Con-
to create the often
Postal Savings Banks. They
would do a great deal of good no
for they be
hundreds of communities
where the private savings banks
are slow to come. The people
need encouragement to save. The
savings institutions serve this good
purpose. In Massachusetts there
are probably quite two hundred
million dollars in these bunks.
They exist all through New En-
gland.
Banks that will encourage de-
posits and pay or per cent, in-
will aid the people very
much. The success of such bunks
depends upon the honesty,
and fidelity of the officers. If it
is strictly constitutional for the
Congress to create such
we would be glad to see
them introduced generally. Any
thing that will promote habits of
industry and economy ought to be
favored within the Constitution.

have been in successful operation
for many years. The people like
them.

The novelist says that a woman
never sees when there is a
letter G before it that hides the
wrinkles. Hence another reason
why marriage does not often pay.
The girls of to-day are kept in
luxury and ease by their parents
until they expect life only a flora

they expect their husbands to keep

theirs by a degree of effort.
The girl's father has been hard at

daughter up with the style and
fashion of the day and the young

where her father left off ; the one
having worked hard all his life to
reach his present condition ; and
the other just beginning life. If

man may marry a man who thinks
she is very wealthy and this may
be his prime motive in

that he is mistaken that he has
married only a poor, sweet, good
girl. Tims disappointed he for-

love, flies to the cup of dissipation
and drinks to its dregs, and every-

no relief but sweet death.

certainly intend to increase
the disposition to save. Nearly
every man spends too much and
thousands spend tar more than
they are really Me to spend. That
is to say, they get in debt. Savings
banks extend daily an invitation
to save money. They are now
three or four such banks in North
Carolina and they are giving much
satisfaction. We are not certain
that it is Constitutional for
to create the often
Postal Savings Banks. They
would do a great deal of good no
doubt, for they be
in hundreds of communities
where the private savings banks
are slow to come. The people
need encouragement to save. The
savings institutions serve this good
purpose. In Massachusetts there
are probably quite two hundred
million dollars in these bunks.
They exist all through New En-
gland.
Banks that will encourage de-
posits and pay or per cent, in-
will aid the people very
much. The success of such banks
depends upon the honesty, capacity
and fidelity of the officers. If it
is strictly constitutional for the
Congress to create such
we would be glad to see
them introduced generally. Any
thing that will promote habits of
industry and economy ought to be
favored within the Constitution.
In England postal savings banks
have been in successful operation
for many years. The people like
them.

cost more to produce them than
the for which they are sold.
And the worst feature of this

the producer has no more control
over the price than a child. How
