National Bank Deposits Show Great Increase
In a speech delivered in Kingston, McAdoo argues that Democratic measures, including the Federal Reserve Act and anticipated Rural Credits Bill, created strong bank resources. He cites March 1916 figures: national banks hold 2.27 billion in resources and 10.79 billion in deposits, up sharply from 1915, with reserves now near 16 billion including state banks. He contrasts this progress with 1907 panic, asserts prosperity across classes, and warns against protective tariffs limiting cheap European goods.
