When bauks are prosperous the people are prosperous, and vice versa, llie kind of money to be us ed in business is of no irrcater im portance to the banker than to the people, for the bank is both creditor ami debtor.

Uncertainty is tho prolific paront of mischief iu all business. Men do nothing, because they uro unable to make any calculation ou which they may safely rely. They undertake nothing, because thev fear a loss iu everything they would attempt. They hope aud wait. Tho mer chant dares not buy for the future consumption of his customer. Tho manufacturer dares not mako fab rics which may not refund his out lay. He shuts his factory aud dis charges his workmen. Capitalists cannot lend on security they con sider unsafe, and their funds lio al most without interest. Men of en terprise who have credit or securi ties to pledge will not borrow. Tho people need to know that the Gov ernment is moving in the direction of ultimate safety and prosperity, and that it is doing so through pru dent, safe and conservative methods which will be sure to inflict no new sacrifice on the business of the coun try.
