Quote #4
I can assure you, my friends, that it is safer to keep your money in a reopened bank than it is to keep it under the mattress. (48)
Roosevelt builds on his central point that keeping money out of the banks is bad for the country. Remember, money in a bank can be loaned out to others in order to buy a house, a car, or to go to school—the money is used to generate more money in the economy. By not trusting the system and keeping your money "under the mattress," the economy stops moving forward. More than anything, during the Great Depression money needed to be out and about, being used and invested.
Quote #5
The success of our whole national program depends, of course, on the cooperation of the public—on its intelligent support and its use of a reliable system. (49)
Roosevelt is smart to use words such as "intelligent" and "reliable", because by complimenting the public he's encouraging the responsible behavior he wants to see. By emphasizing that the system is reliable, and calling Americans intelligent, he's implying that anyone who's smart would trust a working system.
