Labor and capital in harmony in U S banking
Rev. Samuel Z. Spear argues against claims that labor is victimized by capital citing 1868 savings bank data. He notes $339,689,199 deposited by 1,239,623 depositors across six New England states plus New York, Baltimore and San Francisco, suggesting a national saving bank total near $500,000,000. He attributes most surplus to labor and says fault lies mostly with labor’s own consumption.
