Gov- ernment. its aternalism. The only question is how far the welfare of th people is advanced by extending the func- tions of government. Any man who 1s op- posed to monopolies must be opposed to the operation of any national monopoly by private enterprise.” “Have you attempted a poll of the Senate on the measure Mr. Butler was asked. : but I have been voluntarily assured by influential men of all parties that they favor the proposition and would assist in its adoption.” “What are the chief differences between your bill and the Chicago Record bil intro- duced in the Senate by Mr. Mason? Differences in Bills, “In the first place, the Record bill does not allow any deposit smaller than $1. ‘his would depri class for whose a large majority of the benefit the postal savings sth of thi ant refi th which Cc present ses. iin the de- hich J invite roduced in the estab- bills aty vharacter which he b ivocate of i in the r plishment, known ord bill, During the ng Mr. Butler's bill committee on of which he the has not gard- ing the Sentiment Generally Favorable. A Star reporter talked to Senator Butler today about the chances of Congress pass- ing a postal savings bank bill. When ask- ed if he thought the bill would become a law during the present session, he replied: S this bill was introduced in the last summe d the Senate docu- ment containing much information regard- ing it was published and widely circulated the question has been discussed by the press of the country from one end to the Sez other, and it is safe to say that nine-tenths of the newspapers have declared that they favor the plan. In fact, seldom, if ever, has any proposition grown in favor during banks would be positing. It established from ever de- is an old adage and a very true one that if we take care of the pen- nies the dollars will take care of them- ves. My bill provides for deposits as low ‘as 1 cents, with a means by which people could buy h pennies un- til 10 cents umulated. Those who would be nt if not encouraged to ave small amounts will rarely have a dol- Jar to deposit. The reports of the postal avings systems in foreign countries show that very nearly half of the money depos- i fs in amounts less than $1 and that a arge majority of the number of deposits are in smaller amounts. In Austria 23 per cent ef the deposits are in amounts less than 20 cents, while 25 per cent are in amounts between 20 cents and a dollar. “The second difference {s that the Record Lill provides for only 2 per cent on de- posits. My bill provides for “ts per cent. urely this is low enough. France pays per cent, England pays 2 and only r cently paid % per cent. Germany pays 3 per cent, Canada 3, and until recently 4 y - In fact, the average interest paid the countries of the world having postal banks is 2% per cent. My bill provides for the lowest rate paid by any country. Surely our people are entitled to that much. Hesides, the average interest private savings banks in the United tes is per cent. They should not ob- ject to 2ty per cent being paid by the gov- ernment, for if they will establish confi- dence in the mind of the public in their iu stitutions they would get all the deposits Yead of the United States having them. ‘The third chief difference is that my Dill vides that the government upon the re- t of any depositor having $10 or more to his credit shall either purchase for him government bonds or issue to him postal savings bank bonds bearing 2.4 per cent interest (that is, 2 cents a month interest en every $10 bond) and that the proceeds shall be used in liquidating the i.ational debt. The result of this would be that in the next five or ten years the national debt would be transferred from speculators into the hands of the masses of our people. We th!

Practice of Buying Money 0} “One ef the most unanswerable ev of the business demand for such institu- as postal savings ban! continued | Butler, “1s given in the number of peo- who buy imoney orders simply for a fe deposit for money. They not only get no interest from such deposits, but the must pay for the privilege of making them. There is scarcely a money order office in! the country that has not had the experience of men buying a money order payable to thems«lves. The postmaster at Chicago a few months ago stated the enormous ex- tent to which this practice prevailed in that city. The postmaster at Wilmington, the largest town in my state, recently told me that the extent to which this practice was rried on in that town was really burden- seme to the post office. The moncy order em was ¢stablished for those who do not deal with banks and who wish to send through the mails.

The Haitien minister, Mr. Leger, called at the State Department yesterday to talk with the officials respecting the settlement of the difficulty between his country and Germany, and also to make some repre- sentations touching the case of the Ameri- can engineer, Campbell, whose claim for an indemnity formed the subject of a reso- lution of inquiry presented in the United States Senate recently. He endeavored to make it clear to the solicitor of the department that there was another side to the Campbell case from that presented in the resolution and the statements filed with his claim. According to the minister's representations, Campbell practically enlisted in New York for service in the Haitien navy at a time when an insurrection prevailed on the island. He made a contract, not with a Haitien official, but with a Mr. Compton, an Amer- ican citizen, to go to Haiti to serve as an engineer. When he reached the country he refused to serve, and an effort was made to oblige him to carry out his contract, but this failed, and he drifted back to New York. That was in 1887 or ’88, and it was not until nine years later, said the minis- ter, that anything was heard of a demand for indemnity. Then Campbell sued Comp- ton in New York for breach of contract, and, getting a verdict, filed a claim for in- demnity with the State Department against the government of Haiti for the sum of $100,000, That claim ts still pending, and, according to the minister, so far from there having been any undue delay in its adjudication, the Haitien government has only recently had it under consideration. The minister took occasion to assure Sec- retary Sherman of the warm feeling of regard felt by his government and people toward the United States, to whom they looked with affection and reverence, and declared that the government of Haiti had no disposition to treat any just claim in behalf of any United States citizen with Jack of consideration, 4 ene, Takes Out 2 81,¢ Policy Before | # ¥ f rit +7 Salling for? “ = Cc. 50 Cards and engraved plate—and we pledge you our word tuat the engray- Yoodworth’s s Perfumes.
