The postal savings bank system is
at once convenient, safe and pronta
blc; and for those reasons is vastly
superior to any private banking sys
tem yet devised for the beneut anu
security of the smaller class of deposit
tors. The earnings of the humbler
classes are a tbonsand-fold mora lm
portant to them, representing as they
do the struggles of flesh and blood,
than tho surplus accretions of the man
of means, aud nothing higher could
engage the attention of the govern
ment thau iu following the examples
set It by other countries in, making
due and adeauate nrovislM for the
ssJe-keeplsg of the hard-ared and.
honorable; accumulations of the work
ing people and farmers, particularly
ia the Western aud Southern States,
where there is at present only one
savings bank for 17,120 voters. A
