塞缪尔·斯迈尔斯《节俭》· Thrift · 投资
In 1850, Savings Banks were only open a very few hours in each week. In Huddersfield, where more than £400,000 a year was paid in wages, the savings bank, after having been established over thirty years, had only accumulated £74,332. In 1850, Mr. Sikes addressed an anonymous letter to the editors of the _Leeds Mercury_, to which, by their request, he afterwards attached his name. In that letter he recommended the formation of Penny Savings Banks in connection with Mechanics' and similar institutes. In simple words, but with many telling facts, he showed how the young men and the young women of the working classes were growing up deprived of almost every opportunity of forming habits of thrift, and of becoming depositors in savings hanks.

白话
1850年,储蓄银行每周只开放几个小时。在哈德斯菲尔德,每年支付的工资超过40万英镑,而储蓄银行成立三十多年后,只积累了74,332英镑。1850年,赛克斯先生匿名给《利兹水星报》编辑写信,后应编辑要求署上姓名。在信中,他建议在机械学院等机构附设便士储蓄银行。他用简单的话和许多有力的事实说明,劳动阶级的年轻男女在成长过程中,几乎被剥夺了养成节俭习惯和成为储蓄银行储户的一切机会。
